Moral of the story?
Guy won.
"You'll be seeing a LOT of me!"
ReplyDelete1) That is the most menacing threat I've ever heard.
2) I really hope the guy is fully clothed when he comes in next.
Your silence on l'affair Manny speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteVOLUMES!
Jason Bay, incidentally, isn't the worst possible replacement for Ramirez. But he ain't no Manny.

I love Manny.
ReplyDeleteFolks forget that baseball is entertainment and Manny is the single most entertaining player ever.
Great hitter also. So he's a tad of a distraction once in a while. So what?
Manny and Ortiz, as I've said before, make up the best 3-4 combination in the American League. As a Yankees fan, I ache to see them separated.
ReplyDeleteTheo Epstein needs to suck it up and make things right, preferably with an extension that should have been signed long ago. He's done a lot of things right, but this situation has been badly bungled.

You were much too nice to this guy, but from a purveyor's point of view I can understand. On the other hand if Hoagy were there, well, I can only imagine what Hoagy would do or say around am/pm.
ReplyDeleteLamont: fingertip to nose.
But enough about Manny.
Redbeard:
ReplyDeleteNo Manny post on any of your blogs, either? 'Sup with that?
-- Lamont "I Missed My Nose And Now Have My Index Finger Jammed Into My Left Eye" Cranston
Lamont, I'm looking the other way on the deal. There are already media outlets saturated with the hype surrounding this, no one needs to hear about what I have to say about the matter. This too shall pass. Hopefully in about 2 hours, 2 minutes.

ReplyDeleteIANO: Hello?
Horroru: Hey, what Red Sonja cover did you pull for me?
IANO: The one with the skeletons, cause I know you like skeletons.
Horroru: Thanks, that's the one!

Why do I feel like all of your customers have a bit of AM/PM guy syndrome....
Not Lois.
ReplyDeleteThat's cause Lois is not a guy.
ReplyDelete(which has been fully validated by the fact that she does not like The Big Lebowski)
You put Captain America in your wife's C-Section?
ReplyDeleteA: I don't think that's sanitary.
B: No wonder your daughters don't like comics.
