Baseball’s Been a Very Good to Heem

I’m going to just go ahead and deflect the inevitable “American Pastime” jokes by pointing out that Matt Stairs is Canadian.

Feel free to commence with the “City of Brotherly Love” jokes.

Right Hand Ring Month

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

I’ve been breathlessly informed via e-mail by Jared Jewelers, that October is Right Hand Ring Month. Bear in mind that I currently owe this company a great deal of money, one of my children (suckers!), 750 hours of community service, a carton of smokes, and 3 goats. According to the thorough skimming I gave this missive in the nanoseconds before I shitcanned it, I’m being encouraged to purchase a diamond ring for Manda’s right hand. Now I don’t want to seem negative, but unless there’s some mechanism by which we could somehow divide her apparently lefty-only ring into two equal rings, then Jared Jewelers can go straight to hell.

I mean that in the best possible way.

And Michael Stipe is From REO Speedwagon, Right?

Watching TV with The Boy, someone mentions Bono, prompting him to ask me if that was the guy from Youtube. Between that and overhearing him ask a friend if the Red Hot Chili Peppers are still alive, I’m apparently ready for the nursing home.

Mmmmmm… tapioca…
