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.)
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

[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.

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

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

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.

Hil, another good source for sturdy boxes is your local Borders or B&N. Give them a call first, but they're sure to have a large quantity of boxes ready to go into the dumpster that are terrific for packing.

I broke down at my doctor's office today, which didn't get me much progress on my pain issues, but it did get me a higher dose of anti-depressants.
