You’re implying this crew was ever anything _but_ unbalanced? BWAHAHAHA!

::wipes eyes; slowly coasts out of hysterical laughter::

Oh, okay now. **Crunchy Frog** is seriously demented but also posts some seriously good stuff.

Besides, I really love his name. It always reminds me of those frogs whose skins secrete hallucinogenic _stuff_ so people go around surreptitiously LICKING them. (“Hey, man, wanna hit of quality FROG?”)

Gotta love 'im.

You know, if I got as much action IRL as I get on the boards, I’d have died from dehydration by now…

Poor **Crunchy**. My heart bleeds for you. Let’s see how we can fix this situation…

_dumps a gallon of jello over **Crunchy** ’s head_

That should give you something to suck on for a little while, keep you from getting virtually dehydrated. 😉

I’d have dumped _Cello’s Chocolate-Covered Cherries_ over you, but they just don’t keep you hydrated quite as well as jello! 😃

Sorry, no more complaining. BTW, since you’re a Cubs fan, next time you go to a game, thank them for beating the Astros again today. Cards are only one game out of first place thanks to that come-from-behind win. As a Cardinal fan, I appreciate that.

See? I can be gracious.

Relax Arden, it’s nothing sexual,[sub]for once[/sub].

Way back in the day, a Cardinals outfielder named Vince Coleman, who was the stolen base leader at the time and therefore could have outrun it, was caught in Busch Stadium’s automatic tarp roller. It’s one of the few things I can honestly mock theose red wearing bastards for. 🙂  
And thanks Euty.

Ya know, I’d seen you tease him about that before but I had no idea what it was about.

How the hell do you get caught in a tarp roller? I mean, really. That’s just embarrassing.

Of course he was mean to EVERYBODY in the Welcome Wagon. But it IS the reason I wear a “BITE ME” shirt as my official DoperFest Casual Wear[sup]TM[/sup].

Which, if I remember correctly (and the pictures should be ready now, so I can prove it) was _dirty_ when you came to the Sarasota DopeFest! So I never had the opportunity to bite you!
