amazing how quickly people will call someone troll simply because that person doesn’t comform to them.
“I shot the sherrif, I shot the deputy too. No, it wasn’t in self defense. They both looked at me cockeyed so I capped 'em. Then I shot the mayor, then the firechief, decapitated the librarian, impaled the dog catcher, used a spoon to remove the groundskeepers eyes and sent the leader of the local KKK in full KKK uniform to downtown Manhattan. Then I made sweet love to the sexy 18 yr old intern, and it was all good.”
I’ve got some folks coming over in a while to do the social-cooking thing. We’re gonna whomp up a batch of chili as a test for the company chili cook-off which is in a few weeks. And drink some beers, and shoot the breeze… You know the drill, I’m sure.
A committee is a lifeform with six or more legs and no brain.
The entire stretch, yes, the entire inning, no. C’mon, you can sway your way through one chorus of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” and not have to inhibit your beer consumption much, right? Right?
I’m packing to move to CO to live with GF. and partying with all the friends that I’m leaving behind.
I hope that the move goes smoothly, but I am sure at least a million things will go wrong.
CASEDAVE – In the U.S., the “Boob Tube” is indeed the television. A British “boob tube” is in the U.S. a “tube top.” Baseball games are nine innings, three outs per side (a total of six outs) per inning.
No boob tube (or as H.E. would call it, The Glass Teat) for me. I just flew up to Lancaster (that Pepsi cost me $290!) and now I’m heading off to the pub to meet with whatever So. Cal. Dopers show up.

I’ve seen baseball games on TV go on for over four hours, although that is unusual.
We were getting baseball live on TV in the UK last season, but no sign of it so far this year. There are some British teams, but don’t worry - they’re no threat to the Yankees just yet.
I knew someone that used to call the TV the “Haunted Fishtank”
The Scots - never trust a race whose national dress includes a concealed knife.
Andy, I hope its a Cubs game, you have to spend an afternoon in the bleachers before exile across the pond. And if your in the bleachers, you can get plenty drunk. Just don’t throw anything onto the field except opposing teams homeruns.
