World Cup

So this morning on Good Morning America, it was stated that 26 Billion people would be watching today. Interesting. I wonder where the other 20 Billion people live....

Inside Jokes are Quote....

The great Hitch once said "Basic principles: no matter what, no matter when, no matter who... any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet. He just needs the right broom...."

Well fellas, one way to find that swiffer sweat picker upper is to use inside jokes. Nothing ends an argument or starts a good laugh better than a well timed inside one liner. Now, these jokes can be something as simple as a mis-spoken word, a typo, or something only the two of you would know...(stuff like, sorry, a gentleman never tells)...

Anyways, I guess many of you are wondering what the heck does the title mean. It is an example of an inside joke. See one time I was talking to a good good friend on facebook chat (the telegram of our generation) and instead of saying cute, I wrote quote. Now, anything cute is quote. See it is that simple....

I remember in my younger high school years, my one friend mis spoke and called the Leafs the Maples. Turned out to be her nickname...or Mapleface as I prefer

Or my personal fav, the ex Leaf Captain being incorectly called Mats Sunbeam. Still don't know how you get Sunbeam out of Sundin, but hey, its quote....

So like I said, there is nothing like a good inside joke, especially the nasty or dirty kind. In a public place or at work, there is something about saying something that only the two of you know that can really make you smile.

So how does this relate to Hitch? Well if used correctly, it can be a sweet tool to make HER smile. But this requires LISTENING to her, and maybe just maybe remembering. She will love it, and if used tactfully may help to sweep her off her feet. It doesn't matter if it isn't manly or cool, it is something only the two of you know anyways, its not gay, its quote. So eat your fav appetizers, those yummy delicious cheese sticks (inside joke) and enjoy the times with your good family and friends...

Nothing Like a Good Rookie Hazing...

O man, so after Strasmania was over, and the most prized pitching prospect in a long time absolutely dominated the Pirates, I couldn't help but laugh when he got the shaving cream pie in the face treatment, not once, not twice but a total of three times....

O the good ole days of sticking it to the newbies....

And whoever found the silver Elvis hair is really the most beautiful human being ever.

Phenom....

Yea, this kid is that good.....

What's Vacation Mean? Where Daniel Went.....

A blogger a rest, stays at rest... I might write something this week. Maybe...

Arod Keeps Creepin....

While Ken Griffey Jr. retired two days ago, number 4 all time on the home run list, Arod keeps adding to his list. He is now only 18 away from Sosa. When he isn't involed in contrevsy, whether yelling "Ha" behind the opposing players or stepping on their mounds, he has been able to produce very good numbers. And while I think he is a roid head, a loser, a cry baby, terrible for baseball, a yankee, terrible in the clutch, it will be kinda cool to see him make a run at Bonds (clearly a way better hitter)...

I Can't Believe What I Just Saw....

0k, while I was watching my Blue Jays blow another 9th inning lead to the hated first place rays (yes I hate them now) I also had the tigers game on my computer as there pitcher Armando Gallaraga was pitching a perfect game. Now I know we have been blessed with two already, but who really gets tired of perfect games? Anyways, it had all the makings, the play of the year in center feild for the first out in the ninth, and then a lazy ground ball to first. What I saw next I could not believe, the Ump called the runner safe. The play was not even close. I know he admitted later he missed the call, NO FREAKING WHATEVER WORD YOU WANNA ADD HERE....

How do you not call him out even if he was safe? It is a perfect game and he immortality would have followed him. I feel horrible for the pitcher, I really do. To have that sucked away from you because of a bad call is terrible. I think he would have much rather given up a clean hit. Let's see what the MLB does. I really hope to God its not instant reply though. That would be awful. I know bad calls are part of baseball, but shitty calls should not be. I am surprised there isnt a hit on this umpires life. I know for a fact that if this game was in NY he would be dead as the bleecher creatures wouldda pulled out their peices and made him sleep with the fishes....

In other sports news, Ken Griffey Jr. called it a career. The Kid was really the best player we have seen in a long long time, and it is really sad that injuries derailed his career. He still finished with way over 600 home runs, but this guy should have been the Home Run King. It is sad to see my heros of the past calling it quits.....
