Harry Potter and German talk. Dweebs.

Not near as good as cowgirls kickball stories but in slow pitch tonight, the 2nd team we played had a guy that played AAA for the Iowa Cubs for a number of years on the team.


He hit a walk off 3 run HR to beat us that bastard.


are there different levels of slow pitch? Seems like he should be in the championship group. Btw, that misfit team that's in the championship group here, lost 30-4 last week. They've been outscored by 97 points over 5 games.
 
Safe flight and have fun, 55!

I don't stray too much from this thread, but if I was going to put anyone on ignore it would be BC.

Glad to see I got some reaction after emailing my salesman (Tron) and copied the manager of the dealership about our issues.

His posts are just too comical still. I will eventually get there too, but right now the craziness of his posts are gold.
 
Stop the damn ASPCA commercials with sad doggies and kitties over voiced by all serious and sad Sarah McLaughlin! I am trying to ****in' watch funny Archer episode repeats and temporarily treatment my acute boredom! Don't need this other ****!

:realmad:

This is almost the exact same thing that my sister said about the U2 concert she recently attended. Except it was about feeding starving people instead of sad doggies and kitties. "Don't preach to me Bono!"
 
I tried to pet a cow today. I believe it was a shorthorn, female. It kept mooing at us while we were looking at some trees. It was standing by a fence, so I walked up to it. Then it ran away.
I love this post. I'm not sure if it is the randomness of it, the sincerity (or insincerity) of it, the small details included in it, or the visual of a cow running away from Chaser.
 
This is the extent of my knowledge of Bode, Iowa. One winter, a farmer (the name Wilbur Wood pops into my head) from Bode decided to go to Florida. He didn't leave anybody around to take care of his farm animals and they got really hungry and he got in some kind of trouble. #smalltowniowanews

That was probably about 30 years ago. It's amazing that I can remember this story but can barely remember my kids' names sometimes.

That story rang a bell with me because I come from a long line of Texas cattle ranchers, and it happened just a few months after we got here. I remember being horrified that anyone would treat livestock that way. Didn't rememember it being in Bode, though...just remember it being in small town Iowa. You were pretty close on the name & era. Jan 84 (we got here in August 83), and the guy's name was Warren Wood.

The name was pretty close. I believe that Wilbur Wood is either a baseball player or artist. Probably a baseball player as I know the famous Iowa artist is Grant Wood.
 
One of the neighbor's and I are trying to decide if we should go as Wham or recruit another neighbor and go as the Beastie Boys for Halloween. My brain gets whiplash when thinking about this comparison.
 
so China has that big new glass bridge that just opened and I was like oh hell no. It's been cracking under tourists' feet and they closed it already. Yep, still a no.
 
Pants would probably appreciate it if you converted to Mormonism while in SLC.

My mom took a family vacation when she was a kid to Salt Lake City, and my Grandma was terrified the mormons would try to convert them so she made up fake names for the whole family.

I probably should have paid to upgrade her, huh?
Pants, phrasing. You don't want her mad at you before she even gets there
