I am employing the positive thinking mindset about Joe's new potential job and am a) spending the money he will make (well, virtually. as in, we're gonna have the money for x, y, and z!) and b) deciding where he and I will go for an honest to Gods vacation. He and I have NEVER gone on a vacation.

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Donnybrook Energy Bar: now in tangerine-pecan flavor!
I was just pondering what kind of a product you could name Donnybrook!
The ad campaign should probably be designed by the Wondermark guy, and involve lots of Victorian bar fights conducted by men with large mustaches, wearing pinstripe vests and white shirts with garters around the biceps (possibly with little slogans printed on the garter buttons like "It's a daisy!" and "Restores the blood!").

The guy from the moving company came to look at my stuff and tell me how much it would cost, and it's actually a little bit less than what I'd thought. They also offer free boxes, but I've got to drive out to Virginia to get them, and I think it would be cheaper to just get some boxes from the liquor store around the corner and then buy a few more if I need them.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm off to spend the weekend with the family in Nashville. Whoopee.
Can you escape for some KateP time?
Re: Durham, IIRC, the Bull started as a prop for the movie but the park kept it after. Does the new park have a new bull?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
New park has new bull. Like the park, it's bigger and shinier than the original (which I think may be at the hall of fame, but that could be me making shit up again.)

all this talk of minor league ball reminds me that my new again city GOT RID of a minor league team. They got this fabulous ballpark (MTV used it for their baseball game back in the 90's, forget what it's called). It's been featured in some movies and TV shows. Here is a link to some good photos' of the park: [link] although some of the info in the captions are a bit dated. Anyhow, the Golden League baseball team, Armada, was given the boot to save money. The city turned over control of the park to the University, and for whatever reason, the U didn't want the team in there. I think it had to do with competing rights to concessions. But the park is 1 mile from my apartment! WALKING DISTANCE! Even for me! Grrrr. Humbug.

I went to CVS and got more garbage bags, tape, and some markers. Then to the liquor store and got some boxes. Next step should be more packing, but I think next step is actually resting for a little while.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They are the rudest in all of baseball
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
American-league pikers.
As amych notes, Phillies fans are infamously bad. Not only do they boo their own hall of fame players, but they also booed Santa Claus.
And it's thrillingly dangerous sitting in the stands at the Bulls stadium because foul ball line drives come shooting at you unimpeded by any barrier. We were on the third base side and I had to alert the women in front of me every time a left handed batter came up. "Okay, you've got to pay attention again or you're going to get a broken face."

See? First-base side. Much better choice.
(Of course, on either side, the real danger is that you're like TWENTY FREAKING FEET from the field.)

Seriously, missiles at 100+ mph rocketing off the chairs all around you. It's like, take a bite of your pork BBQ sandwich and duck behind the clueless lady.
