Season's over. Boo.
And here's a news flash: Pres. Bush was an idjit about baseball, too. It's not just wars, torture and public policy that he is all f***ed up about.

Abusing the help
Phone: Ring Ring
Suebob: Hello?
Robert: Hello, Sue, this is Robert from the Company X newspaper and this call is being recorded for your protection.
Suebob: Yelping, in a voice that sounds totally over-the-top nutso MY PROTECTION? WHY IS IT BEING RECORDED? WHAT ARE YOU PROTECTING ME FROM?
Robert: quite nervously Um, it's just standard procedure, to protect you from scams and such...
Suebob: SCAMS? WHAT SCAMS? THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT!! Why are you recording outgoing calls?
Robert: No, it is standard for everyone, it is because of California state law that we have to inform people that they are being recorded.
Suebob: But it isn't California state law that you have to record people, is it? Doesn't that seem weird? I don't LIKE that. I mean, recording outgoing calls seems WEIRD to me! I don't understand how that protects me!
Robert: Uh, Sue, Sue, it's ok. Anyway, I just wanted to call to thank you for being a subscriber and to offer you...
Anyway, I don't know what possessed me. I consider it providing a service actually, because now poor Robert with the terrible phone sales job will have a "What a freak!" call to talk about on his 10-minute coffee break.
*******
I hate to swear (yeah right) but G***d*mn Red Sox. The Angels lose 2 in a row in the playoffs, and it just HAS to be to the most loathesome team in baseball. Great.
Did you watch the Yankees/Indians game? THE BUGS! That was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen at a baseball game.

Postseason
Anyone watch my cousin Doug pitch for the Dbacks against the Cubs?
He and I are very, very close, you know.
All that aside, I still live and die with every pitch he throws. I can't help myself.
Who are you rooting for? Please say anyone but the Red Sox.
Go Angels!

Seeing signs
People search for years...
The next time someone needs spiritual advice, tell them to turn right at the light.
Do politicians lack "Common cents"?
I ate at a restaurant with this sign back in the parking lot:
It worries me that they have such sudden and violent needs to do a sewer clean-out that they have to warn you not to park there. Right?
********
Oh, and today is the day. Schmutzie Pickles says so. Delurk, for the sake of all that is good and worthy!
