Well, it’d definitely have a retractable roof that’d get stuck in an almost-closed position all the time so it’d resemble a giant space vulva. And I hear they are working on being overlords…_ahem_ ---

What he needs is his kindly manager, Lou Piniella, who can’t seem to decide whom to lead off, to stick him in the leadoff spot and leave him there. ---

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] :: channeling my inner 6 yr old:: What about Dick Trickle? 😃 [/QUOTE] As I recall, when Dick was racing (he is done now, right? I don’t hear the name anymore, but I don’t follow NASCAR), the Sportscenter guys would always announce his name, no matter how irrelevant it was to the winner’s circle. “Dale Earnhardt won the big race, despite only leading for the last 10 laps. And Dick Trickle finished 12th.” Meanwhile, I, too, enjoyed Fuck You Dome. I think Tina Turner should welcome the visitors, a la Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
