Was “Bull Durham” really the definitive baseball movie?
Oh, wait; that topic’s already been done to death in another thread.
Never mind.
Even though it’s set in England, I wonder if " Durham Town" is ever sung by people who are about to graduate from (or transfer out of) Duke University.
I played baseball when I was a little kid. I hated it. I volunteered to sit out wach inning, and my parents didn’t care. When I would play, it was always in the outfield, and I just stood there.
Hey, at least you just stood there. I hated it so much that I’d wait until the teacher wasn’t looking. I’d sneak further and further away from the playing field until I was in the tall weeds. Then I could drop on my belly and watch cool spiders and bugs and things. I could go copletely unnoticed by anyone, since I was camouflaged by the weeds and I’d never been too involved in the game to begin with.
So, now we’re on baseball. Wasn’t this thread all about sex a while ago? How did we get off that topic? I thought for sure this thread would be yapping about that forever.
Baseball and sex are closely connected. Haven’t you ever seen Bull Durham?
The fine citizens of Durham, North Carolina (or is it South? I never can keep that straight) would never send a hijack game into a circle – that would be bullhooey.
Wrong sport. If you want to run in circles, you gotta go NASCAR. I believe both Carolinas are fully cognizant of that sport.
There’s really not a decent NASCAR movie. Don’t get me started on Days of Thunder.
Speaking of thunder, it hasn’t stormed here lately. For a while, we were getting them every day, sometimes twice.

Your screen name reminds me of the Rotor ride at amusement parks. You know, where you spin around and the floor drops out from under you.
We had thunder yesterday that shook the meetinghouse, but no rain.
What is a meetinghouse? Is that like a church? Or is it another term for town hall?
My small town (10,000 people) has about 50 churches and 50 bars. Guess which I frequent? 
bah, the city of norwich (my nearest city) has ‘a church for every sunday of the year, and a pub for every day’. and it’s no joke. lots of music pubs to play at
How come they call them pubs in England and bars in the states?
I was publicly summoned to the bar in the largest state in New England, but I wouldn’t come when called, no matter how much they begged me.
You know, there is an abandoned bar near here. The bar part is locked up, with no way in, and there is a small apartment above the bar. The apartment is also abandoned, and the floor is crusted with several inches of cat litter.
You’ve been exploring this abandoned property??? j/k
I just saw a cat litter commercial. Lot’s of cute cats running around. I love cats! They make me all sappy like a little girly-man.
When I was little, I named my grandmother’s cat after Johnny Cat Kitty Litter.
When I was little, I wanted to be an astronaut. (I found a simpler way to get into space tho…) 
Astronauts always seemed like something that wouldn’t really be fun to do.
