Baseball is still the purest form of competition, no salary cap, guaranteed contracts, meal money... need I go on. The best part? You can spend 200 million a season and still blow donkey balls. I love baseball for the underdogs and the fact its still relatively cheap to go to a game.
So the movie version of Tucker Max is on CBS right now, still not funny, can't remember his name or the name of this bullshit show. EDIT: Buzzed and can't type
The mentalist is on my CBS. I thought the movie was I hope they serve beer in hell. confused. The reds are going to kick ass this year. Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the year.
When you spend bazillions getting every blue chip for every position and you put that many super-egos together, they usually don't gel well. Just ask Giambi how many rings he won with his superteam.
My best friend's brother just got traded to the Yankees. She was / is so pissed. Her temper tantrum was pretty epic. And this Rangers game is...like watching paint dry. Well, it was like watching paint dry. Apparently the Astros consider it really opening day, whereas the Rangers seem confused that they're not playing here in Arlington. Goddammit, these bats better not be dead when I go out on Friday. I'm going to sit in sun and heat mostly drunk watching this, and dead bats suuuuck. re: the cost of baseball games: I don't know about y'all's parks, but the Ballpark in Arlington will let you bring your own food/drinks in if you have a softside cooler that will fit under your seat. No glass though. And water and vodka look pretty much the same in a clear glass. And snacks for the kids to last all game are wayyyy cheap. I can take my boys and myself to a game for less than 60 bucks, spend $15-$25 on water and snacks, and $5 on parking, and have a fantastic time.
I hate to bash a dude who has the balls to get up on stage and do what 99% of the board (including me) won't do -- and I even have a degree in public speaking -- but I will call myself out as one of those who gave ballsack positive rep for saying that Gris's sketch was in no way funny to me. I remember him from the RMMB, and in my opinion he was hilarious, namely because he called out ballsack on his shit. But that linked bit was just... cringe-worthy.
Speaking as somebody who has done a little bit of standup, and watched a whole lot of it, it's really hard to translate funny written material into funny spoken material. If you go to a lot of open mics, you'll hear people basically reading their tweets, and what might have been funny in context or when the reader has a second to catch the beats is cringe-worthy when it hangs in dead air. The Gris bit was ok. If it's year 1, I'd say it's encouraging, if it's year 10, then I'd imagine he just won't ever really be a very good standup. That's cool -- there are fewer really good standup comedians than there are professional football players, so what are the odds? This is terrible. Apparently Ballsack and I both like Blue Moon and think that Gris' comedy could be better. I had no idea we were so similar, I thought all we'd had in common was his wife.
Re: Re: Re: Easter Drunk Thread Ah yes I am embarrassing myself...... by liking cheap Canadian beer? I have never had Chimay....who pays 10 bucks for a quart of beer? We can't all live in Nebraska...I guess?
Man reading student writing has to kill as many brain cells if not more as a hit on a crack pipe. I could audition for the Walking Dead right now. And I'm not even through two of them. But I did come across a gem regarding an interstate custody battle between Kansas and Kentucky. And to cleanse your soul here are a couple sentences by an American Master. --James Salter in All That Is
When I am in need of an opinion about which book I should read next, I am not going to ask the opinion of someone who thinks that you really can't tell the difference between a harlequin romance and anything more expensive, and that all classic literature is for pretentious snobs.
Not in Canada they don't. I watched a video about it. If this was open mic I was impressed with his stage pressence. The joke just wasn't funny.
If you're implying that I'm a homosexual with a large penis, well, I'm flattered. But it's really not that big.
