Florida's Baseball Team needs a new hitter?

I had the impression the game was Beastball(s)™

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Dear Wisconsin Badgers Football Coaching Staff:

I just made a list of things smarter than you. A-hem...

• Snooki
• Actually, the entire cast of Jersey Shore
• The Kardashians. All of them
• That beauty pageant contestant from South Carolina in that one pageant. Y'know, this one
• The big dump I took this morning
• That one cashier at my job who can never figure out to ring up checks and gift cards correctly
• Sarah Palin. Or Barack Obama (in the interest of political balance)
• Mike McCarthy (this is a close call)
• The Shamwow guy
• Lunker from the Retail comic strip
• A box of rocks

And now here's my list of things dumber than you: Me, for thinking those last few games at the end of the season actually meant you were starting to figure it out. I mean, going into halftime with all three timeouts and then blowing two early in the second half? Really? Timeouts are not cell phone minutes; they don't carry over.

But thanks for saving me money on all the Wisconsin gear I was going to buy if you won. I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to even walk into the store.

Hope you enjoyed hanging 70 on Austin Peay, 83 on Indiana and 70 more on Northwestern. I hope it was worth it.

Regards,
Irv the Bridesmaid

Dear Ex,

Threatening me is not going to help.

Dear BE,

If you need someone to vent to, I am here.

Otherwise, I'm getting a hankering for Boost and a hoagie.

So I might be making a trip up to New Jersey. Exit 5 off the Turnpike. Will be there if you need a shoulder to cry on in person.

Encouragingly,
Rummy

Dear Rummy,

Thanks! (Just so no one worries, the threat was a legal one, not threatening violence or anything like that. One that he would likely lose, if he tried it, and in any case would just make more difficulty for him and would not be worth his time.) It's kind of a lot to get into right now but maybe after Tuesday.

I am somewhere between 8A and 9 (if I'm going south I go out to 8A, if I'm going north I go up to 9).

Dear BE,

You're welcome!

My Grandma is buried at Edgewater Cemetary (I think that's the name, it's off of 130). Now that December is over, I can go up there and not be a complete total wreck. (Grandma died December 28, 2000).

See, right off of Exit 5 there is a Cracker Barrel (I heart Cracker Barrel). Plus, at the Kohl's up there, I can find a plethora of Philadelphia Eagles stuffs. My Grandpa lives near Riverside, and I should go visit him (he's getting up there in years).

And of course, there's always the Boost. I think I should order some off the internets for my dad.

Okay, I'm rambling. (I have caffeine and I slept in! W00t!)

You take care of yourself now, and again, PM me, IM me, send me a video of you interpretive dancing, and I'll get back to you and help you out anyway I can (which means listening as I know nothing of legal matters).

Dear BE

Can I get that video too please??

Rads

Dear Rummy

You're hilarious when you're on a caffeine high

Rads

Dear food

Please stop trying to kill me when I'm cooking you!!!

Rummy,

Sorry I'm late in responding.

Let's go get BE.

BE,

Keep an eye out for weird people looking for you.



--Becks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MOTH, part 2:

Bridges--don't care

Trains--don't care

Cranes--don't care

Overhead views of Newark and surrounding areas--don't care. Seen them from planes, rode through the neighborhoods.

Memes--couldn't care less. Really.

Stop telling me that I'm pretty when I first wake up. I am not. I look like hell and my hair is all over the place, refusing to be confined by a scrunchie until I can find my hairbrush.

Don't bitch about the occasional strand of hair that appears out of nowhere, because it freaks you out. It's perfectly natural for the occasional strand of hair to fall out, you know. It amuses me, though, that you never seem to notice the mini clumps that I stick on your pillow when you're exceptionally obnoxious.

In short, you're still annoying the ever living hell out of me.

*hiss*

[BookstoreEscapee]

Dear Rads,

No.

Dear Rummy,

Thanks! I appreciate the support. Need to get organized... court is on Tuesday and I will post what happens when it is all done.

I have never heard of Boost (other than the nutrition shake stuff).

Dear Rads,

You are awesome too!

We must find a mutual destination to meet each other at. Maybe the Bahamas?

Rummy

Dear BE,

I look forward to reading what you type up about what happens on Tuesday. (Didn't realize it was so close!)

Good Luck!
Rummy

Dear Becks,

"Weird people"? I resemble that comment.

Also, I'll be bringing this: for your MOTH.

Mebbe he can get together with Mr. Rum and then we can be left in peace?

Hoping for things to change,
Rummy

Dear Child Rum,

Your birthday is in July. Not January. Papa Rum's birthday is in January.

Also, we're seeing Grandma & YeYe (Grandpa - that's the Mandarin Chinese version of the word) on January 8. Please no more asking for toys until we see Daddy's side of the family.

About to pass out from the toy requests,
Momma Rum

[BookstoreEscapee]

Dear Rum,

Yeah, I got about a month's notice, and he tried to get them to postpone but they denied his request (because he didn't have proper backup to confirm his reasons - guess he was hoping that since I didn't object they would just give it to him; a letter from his boss shouldn't have been that difficult, though). I was kinda hoping they would agree becuase I feel like I need more time but on the other hand, it's probably best to just get it over with.

Dear BE,

Dear Rummy,

Better to be weird than :shudder: normal.

Also, your idea to leave the men to each other is a great one!!!

Now, he's talking about The Natural. It's his favorite movie. It puts me to sleep.

Might have to go out shopping for earplugs tonight.

Love,

Becks

[CaroPhoenix]

Dear Becks,

Your MOTH doesn't have a last name that starts with an "S" and ends with a "son" or a last name that starts with a "W"? And he doesn't have family in Nebraska?

Sounds like he'd get along with my hubs! Generally any movie that has a sport in it, my husband will watch at least once.

It's annoying.

Rummy

Dear BE,

Will be thinking of you on Tuesday.

Dear Child Rum's Autism,

Why do you have to manifest in the perseverating form more often than not?

I feel like a bad guy for having to take away the (literally) object of her obssession for the night.


Momma Rum

[Becks]

Rummy,

No...his family (such as it is) is strictly New Jersey/New York.

The odd thing about The Natural is that usually, I greatly enjoy baseball movies. I just get bored with that one.

To anyone with a kind compassionate heart,

Please save me!!! He's talking about FOOTBALL again!!!

[Bella_Vixen]

Dear Becks--

Come over to my place.

Seriously.

When he's asleep, just come over and lock the door...and for the love of God, DO NOT answer it.

P.S. SKWUSH!!
