Been married 2 yrs. today!  Nothing like being married to a Royal.

Sometimes, I feel like I am married to a Royal. A royal pain in the A**.

By the way, great work in Teen Wolf the sequel "Back into the Gym"

Wonka contrary to popular belief you can't get drunk off O'Doul's.

You are indeed incorrect my friend. O'Douls has 0.4% alcohol content (roughly 1/10th of normal beer), so in theory you could drink enough O'Douls to get drunk, it would roughly take 100 O'Douls.



I am thrilled to see that Lohse is gone though!

For TDT, probably more like 20 O'Douls.

Cough, dammit! I said cough!

Just joking around, MR.

You've got 24 years of wedded bliss to catch up with me. 

Congrats on the first 2 years. You are now officially no longer newlyweds. That label ends at the 2 year mark.

Hi fellas. It was quite the baseball weekend wasn't it? From my La-z-boy on Friday and Sunday and my front row seats on Saturday, it appears to me that the Tigers have their mojo working. All season, I've been waiting for the wheels to start to wobble, but they haven't. Let's hope the 8th inning yesterday was the equivalent of hitting the 1st domino.

Saturday, I decide that I should do something to clinch my Father-of-the-Year award, so Fins III and I hop in the car and head to the dome. Hit the scalpers outside, pay a small fortune and end up with front row between 1st base and R field. Right in front of the Tigers bullpen. Some drunk in a Twins jersey comes down to the rail and starts rudely heckling catcher Vance Wilson. I mean nasty stuff - like I was with your girlfriend last night and down from there. Wilson comes over to the rail and I thought for a moment he was coming up and you'd all see me on ESPN. Wilson, finally runs to the outfield and the drunk starts in on everyone else. Security finally comes down and convinces him to go to his seat. I can't imagine why they didn't toss him right there.
So, the game's about to start and Tigers player I didn't recognize walks up to me and says, Hey, can I get you to ask your kid to run up and get a bag of peanuts for our coach? all we have are seeds here and Coach really likes peanuts." At first I think he's kidding, but then he says, "I'll give him a brand new baseball." What about $4 for the bag of peanuts? So I say "How about one of those warm-up jackets?" He rolls his eyes. So I say OK, we'll do it. Big deal, a baseball! I've got a 5 gallon pail full of 'em in my garage. So, Kid runs up and misses the 1st half inning, but he saw all of those Radke singles on the monitor. While he's gone I asked people around me who this guy is and nobody knew. Then I saw his # on his collar and it turns out it's Todd Jones. Kid comes back, I whistle to Jones, he comes over and I give him the nuts, and ask him, how about getting the ball signed? He says, "By everyone?" I say "Yeah." So he goes over, grabs a pen and takes it to each player to sign, take about 10 minutes and gives it to the kid.
So now my kid thinks it would be pretty cool if I'd buy season tickets in the front row.

There's more, but I've gotta go make a living so I can buy more Twins tickets....

And here's some +K for the start of the Tiger's August slide.

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

No, John, the movie was "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" not "The Bad, the Hairy and the Ugly."

fins, outstanding story.

You know how to negotiate bigtime!

A bag of nuts for a team autographed baseball. Well Done.

So, it's 1:45 in the afternoon. I had stopped for one beer and a sandwich at 11:30. Ran into an old friend, and BS'd for 2 hours plus. Drunk. Driving home, have to pee. On a state highway, no option except piss the knickers, or stop right now and pee in the road. After 3 drops in the skivvies, I hit the brakes, jump out and let it go. SEVEN FRIGGIN CARS go buy whilst I'm doing the deed, all or them honking the horn like mad and laughing. Evidently no one called 5-O, as I made it home safetly.

OK... if you've got eyes in the back of your head how many fingers am I holding up smart A$$?

[finsleft]

Fins-
Nice work, man!  That's a great story, but one thing I am confused about....what did Wilson do when he came to the railing?

Mighty Royal

In a surprisingly calm manner, he told the guy that he was an idiot, while trying to get the attention of some security (which there was none). He says why are you talking like that? You should be kicked out of here and what's with dropping F-bombs when there's kids and families sitting here. Must be hard for those guys to hold back sometimes. And this idiot looked like one of those white-supremicist types, shaved head, beady eyes, don't mess with me or I'll pull a shiv on you attitude.
Only thing close to security were the white shirt rent-a-cops on the field who walk out to the foul lines between innings and do NOTHING else. (Good thing the bat boys know how to tackle). And the next section over was handicapped seating in the front row, staffed by a matronly usher wearing a red polo shirt. Wilson tried to get her to do something but she looked at him like he was speaking Chinese, and just shrugged.

The people in seats 1 and 2 (we had 3 and 4) left early (that's a whole nuther issue) so the idiot and his pal come down and start in on my man Jones while he begins warming up. I told the dude to shut up and he starts lipping off to me, so I stand up and say, these aren't your seats go sit in your own seats or I'll kick you out of here. Douche bag runs like a kid who just got his candy taken away.

Well after 16 hours on two sperate planes I arrived in Chicago at lovely O'hare.  Only to find out that my last flight was delayed 2 hours along with most of terminal 3 flights.  I have to say that there are some real pompus a$$holes out there screaming at the top of their lungs at the poor desk person.  The guy that was at the booth in front of me was a royal pain and just kept hounding the poor girl... when is my plane getting here?   what are you guys going to do about comping me?? the last straw was when he called her an f*cking retard.  At that point I stepped in and discretly informed him that he was the F*cking retard and that he needed to go calm down or he would regret it.  What the hell is wrong with people these days.  they need to come to post patterns and vent some of their anger in a creative way.

[Johnnie Red]

kubiack78, you are so right about the number of idiots out there that love to get on people who are basically doing their jobs. Thanks for stepping in.

Probably comparable to a woman who called me last week screaming at me for the fine she got for calling our local ER and screaming and threatening the hospital staff. This was just a continuation of the calls I had previously gotten from her at my home number. If I do ever become a judge, remind me to exercise my patience and not come down off the bench and tell a few of these people to "get a life!"

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

nice, classy move, Kubiack....apparently the moron in front of you seemed to think the poor deskhelp had a personal vendetta with him, and was to blame for the flight delay (never mind the fact that the rest of the passengers were inconvenienced...only HIS beef counts). A-holes like that make me ill. You see more & more of it, and it doesn't make sense.

About the good thing is kooks like that keep the lawyers on this board employed and JR busier than a one-handed beer vendor at a PP tailgate.

Only 31 days till MIAC opener-- a TH nighter at Ham 8/31! and most of the rest of the league open up only 2 days later!!!!
