Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Crackerjack sounds AMAZING.

It is! It used to have more peanuts and better prizes, but its still pretty amazing.

Did we mention the prizes?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

They are the rudest in all of baseball

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

American-league pikers.

But if he would like to visit DC, he's welcome to my couch for a few days.

Hell no, if one of us gets to use your couch it will be me!

I would propose the Mets fans for that honor.

I'm off to spend the weekend with the family in Nashville. Whoopee.

I will refrain from mentioning how Red Sox players are the rudest while I'm at Fenway.

Vortex, I've copied your basics to my ipod so I can seem like I know what's going on when I'm there, thank you! Now I'm hoping it'll be one of those games where there's loads of extra innings. Fun! Baseball zombies!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My dad learned his baseball etiquette in Chicago. When he tried transplanting his commentary to the Durham Bulls stadium he got a few looks. I don't know if it was a geographic difference or if it was more of a league thing. Are fans nicer in the minors?

I grew up in MI watching the Tigers suck. In fact, it was a Detroit Free Press sports columnist who introduced me to the phrase "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory," in the context of a Tigers game. I'll watch the occasional baseball game sometimes, if I stumble across it while channel surfing, or if a group decides to make a Bulls game a thing. But I don't seek them out.

I just reserved the Scion xD zipcar for driving my broken electronic stuff to electronics recycling on Saturday. I'll see how I like driving it.

Hey! No! My comment was mocking the Red Sox fans!
Happily removes Hil from "The List"! How goes the packing? I found it helps to have a zone for the packed boxes. And a dolly to roll them to said zone. It helps so you can see what is clear and what is not (vs piles of boxes EVERYWHERE) and it makes it easier for movers to pack up your things into the truck.

I will refrain from mentioning how Red Sox players are the rudest while I'm at Fenway.
Probably a good idea.

"snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,"
Ha! Love that phrase!

I like the Yankees. I did grow up in NY state and most of my family are fans.
:: Loves Laura! ::

Wait? Cali, you live in Bulls area? Love the movie! I would happily go to Bulls games because of the flick. Aw shucks, who am I kidding, any excuse to go to a ballpark, and I'm there. If only I had a golden ticket, life would be grand. Alas, I am too poor for that crap.

Are fans nicer in the minors?
The few minor league games I've been to, yes. They seem to be more encouraging, since they know the players are making nada. Major leaguers are making BANK, and so fans will shout rather rude things.

ION- I did some work! Now, off to lunch with the head of design.
