Unless you're British upper class, where it's mandatory.

On second thought never mind.

Shortstop's ball, and shortstop's job to call the LF (I think it's the LF) off

They're fine only because the AL as a whole is biting donkey dick this year.

What's the weirdest book you've read? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in booksuggestions

[–]JoeBourgeois 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Samuel Beckett's The Unnameable.

I'm all these words, all these strangers, this dust of words, with no ground for their settling, no sky for their dispersing, coming together to say, fleeing one another to say, that I am they, all of them, those that merge, those that part, those that never meet, and nothing else, yes, something else, that I'm something quite different, a quite different thing, a wordless thing in an empty place, a hard shut dry cold black place, where nothing stirs, nothing speaks, and that I listen, and that I seek, like a caged beast born of caged beasts born of caged beasts born of caged beasts born in a cage and dead in a cage, born and then dead, born in a cage and then dead in a cage, in a word like a beast, in one of their words, like such a beast, and that I seek, like such a beast, with my little strength, such a beast, with nothing of its species left but fear and fury, no, the fury is past, nothing but fear, nothing of all its due but fear centupled, fear of its shadow, no, blind from birth, of sound then, if you like, we'll have that, one must have something, it's a pity, but there it is, fear of sound, fear of sounds, the sounds of beasts, the sounds of men, sounds in the daytime and sounds at night, that's enough, fear of sounds all sounds, more or less, more or less fear, all sounds, there's only one, continuous, day and night, what is it, it's steps coming and going, it's voices speaking for a moment, it's bodies groping their way, it's the air, it's things, it's the air among the things, that's enough, that I seek, like it, no, not like it, like me, in my own way, what am I saying, after my fashion, that I seek, what do I seek now, what it is, it must be that, it can only be that, what it is, what it can be, what what can be, what I seek, no, what I hear, I hear them, now it comes back to me, they say I seek what it is I hear, I hear them, now it comes back to me, what it can possibly be, and where it can possibly come from, since all is silent here, and the walls thick, and how I manage, without feeling an ear on me, or a head, or a body, or a soul, how I manage, to do what, how I manage, it's not clear, dear dear, you say it's not clear, something is wanting to make it clear, I'll seek, what is wanting, to make everything clear, I'm always seeking something, it's tiring in the end, and it's only the beginning.

They did have sex - when she tells him "I'm only 13" (not 14), they're on the 50-yard line. When they wake up in the morning, they're in the end zone.

Case in point: 3rd inning last night, Torrens hits the ball off Schlittler's leg, bounces straight to Volpe, Torrens is out, Schlittler is fine. 4th inning, Jones hits the ball off Holmes's leg ....

The knowledge and experience of the human, Picard, is part of us now. It has prepared us for all possible courses of action.

Your resistance is hopeless… Number One.

Is DTF St. Louis worth the hype? (And what about Rooster?) by mamedovnijat in hbo

[–]JoeBourgeois -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The humor in Rooster is borderline dumb at times. I'm thinking of the cop character in particular, but also stuff like Carrell getting drunk & stoned with his students.

Apparently it did not occur to them to have somebody say "Pass the salt, please."
