How do you get at least half a million people into a 70,000 seat ballpark?
Have an earthquake during a game.
Peace,

What?
There should be no apostrophe in"its" in the thread title.
Why?
“Its” is the possessive; “it’s” is a contraction of it is.
Now what are you talking about?
I’ll have what he’s having.
I’m just a little tired of hearing all the “I was theres” at Candlestick Park when the Loma Prieta 'quake hit. Just heard it again tonite.
My reply was a real question. I’m still a little shaky on that. Then why do we type “Bob’s Bike”? That’s (heh) not a contraction. It’s possessive. I’ll stop now.
It’s on top of the 'fridge. Don’t bogart.
One sympathizes. Pretty much everybody in Pittsburgh born before 1972, and some after, saw the Immaculate Reception with their own two eyes at Three Rivers Stadium.
Oh yeah, and every veteran is an ex-SEAL with a classified MoH, even though they aren’t old enough to have fought in Vietnam under any circumstances, the names of people who are actually SEALs are easily found, and the Medal is never classified.
Lots of fakers in the world.
“His”, “Hers” and “Its” are exceptions to that.
My way of remembering “its” vs. “it’s” is that “it’s” is ALWAYS a contraction of “it is”, hence the apostrophe.

Tell me about it. I worked with a 6’ 2" vietnam tunnel rat. He was also pretty heavy, but that could have come later.
Correct, so since a thread title “Bursting at it is seams!” makes no logical sense, “Bursting at it’s seams!” is grammatically improper.
Go away.
No.
I know. So was mine. 
I hadn’t heard anything in the news about an earthquake, except for the one in Spitzer’s pants.
And “yours”, “theirs”, “ours” and “whose”.
Pretty much, pronouns don’t take apostrophes in the possessive.
Well, I, for one, am very disappointed in that.
Guess I’ll just use commas, at every oppurtunity, instead.
“Mine” too.
