Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread
Just got home from the Rays/Yankees game. I have no voice. But it's all right, because we won. And shouting "Yankees suck! Yankees suck!" 600 times throughout the game and after was a hell of a lot of fun, and quite worth it, because we are now in first again. Fuck yeah.
Watch out, the ump will kick you out of the game if you are in the good seats and he hears ya.
"MILWAUKEE (AP) — A player, a manager, a coach and even a fan were ejected Tuesday night during the Milwaukee Brewers' 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
In the bottom of the seventh, home plate umpire Bob Davidson stopped the game and walked to the stands near the backstop netting and motioned for a fan, Sean A. Ottow, 44, of Waukesha, Wis., wearing a T-shirt with a Brewers logo on it to leave his seat. An usher motioned for him to leave, and the fan stood and posed with his arms extended in the air in a V shape while drawing loud cheers from the fans."

I remember going to this Angels Vs. A's game in Anaheim once. there was this woman that could create such a high pitched whistle that it could be heard from the mid-level seats near third base all the way to home plate. I don't recall which player it was, but was one of the A's she liked to single out and her noise made him lose concentration and his grip on the bat, sending it flying into the opposing team's dugout.
I hated that woman. They eventually dragged her out because people were complaining. That made me happy. I wasn't an A's fan, but still, very rude.
I also remember the 1992 All Star Game pre-show, you know the even before the day of the game where they do the home run derby and all that. I was there. After it was over we tried to line where the players left to go home. Ken Griffey Jr. was one of my favorite players and I had a nice clean baseball for him to sign. He emerged and I got smashed against the fence, people went nuts, standing on other peoples car and even somewhat crowd surfing to hold things over the fence.
And here I was, the 14 year old smashed against the fence, my hand straining over the top of the fence with that ball in hand. Griffey is right there in front of me... and he passes me by. At least when he passed, I was no longer being crushed against the fence. I was still a little crushed on the inside, though.
One last baseball story. Remember Rosanne Barr singing the national Anthem for the Padres? I dodged that bullet by going to the game the night before that. That is one live performace I don't regret missing. But after Rosanne's butchering of the anthem, my mother and sister attended a little radio event.
They put a boombox out in the parking lot and as the tape began, everyone sang the anthem as a bulldozer ran over the boombox. Justice was done that day.
Of course I'm not. I really don't see why everyone has such a problem figuring out Feba is a girl's name, it's not hard; it seems kind of obvious to me.
But I mean, whatcha gonna do?
Also, long fucking day today; also WHY THE HELL ARE MY SHOES COMING UNTIED EVERY KILOMETER ALL OF A SUDDEN? And just when I finally get to the station and hope I can have a normal commute back to the my-feet-stop-hurting-and-there's-AC-place, a group of middle school students floods in, probably the first bus or two going home for the day. I wind up standing next to three, one of whom is constantly falling over, yet apparently refuses to grab one of the many, many handles. A couple of times my arm instinctively goes out to stop her, while she digs in to her friend's arm to the point of giving it some kind of Native American burn. Finally some people move at a stop, so I try to move forward a bit, but no, she keeps falling into me; at one point I put my hands behind her shoulders and this lady shot me a look. I just looked back with the "yeah, I'm pretty sick of this too" look and hoped that was cross-cultural. Finally my station, so of course they have to get off ahead of me. I was rushing to make my connection, so I just walked past them, turned quickly, and told her to be careful. Totally worth the hassle for the dumbfounded looks on their faces, though.
I almost hope I see her falling over again just so I can go "What did I tell you?"

Nah they don't really care about that crap too much here, unless some one gets their panties in a bunch and cries to Security. Besides, it wasn't must me chanting it, it was a good portion of our section, and mostly because of all the goddamn Yankees fans nearby.

Man I would've loved seeing that scene live.

Right after Feba got off the bus, the school girls revealed giant strap-ons beneath their school-girl dresses, and back-doored for two hours Feba while he played a harem game on a PSP. Then he caught the Tokyo Drift and went to a doctor for penicilin. This shit happens more than we'd like to think it does.
The clash of cultulres, the annoyance reflected on Feba's face. The cute school uniforms, the suspense in the awkward discomfort, and the climatic battle of stares. Plus the tension and fun of watching it all live while in Japan!
...I sounded like J9 just now didn't I.
