If not, then get thee back to work and do it right!

10. Probably used Mo in a game where they had a 3 run lead
and he's 'tired' or something. Kyle Farnsworth's in.

And the Tigers just won. :eyes:

11. Damn, this is one of the few times I was rooting for the Yankees
The Tigers are off the hook this year...and this Twins fan does not like it one bit.

Most managers are inept assholes, but Torre takes the cake with his mind-boggling stupid management of the bullpen. :nuke: :nuke:

16. Ummm...
They just said on the post-game that Rivera wasn't in because he "suffered back spasms after tying his shoes"...

21. hedges says to tell you
" 'Tying his shoes' is baseball speak for auto-fellatio. You'd have back spasms too."

That hedges...always trying to...cheer someone up. :D

24. Who do you make beds for?
My wife used to make beds for Spring Air - i.e. she worked in a Spring Air bed and made pieces that go over the metal springs that make up the bed - sewing on pillowtops and the such.

Do you make the beds like my wife, or as other people have said like making them up with new sheets, blankets, etc? And if so, have you ever entered a bedmaking contest?

Mark.

27. Ah... that kind of bedmaking.
Edited on Fri Jun-02-06 12:31 AM by mwooldri
Perhaps you should enter into bedmaking contests. Yes, there are competitions at that, my sister used to do it with St. John Ambulance (volunteer ambulance brigade back in the UK).

Mark.
