This is who I am

Last week, a bunch of us went to see the Round Rock Express play the Tacoma Rainiers in honor of Caroline’s birthday.  I heard it was a good game, but I wouldn’t know, since I didn’t watch a single play.  I was too busy laughing my head off at all the funny comments that were flying around.  Here are a few of them:

Jack: I went with Marci to watch Kat Osterman throw her 5, 287 strike out, which in baseball means that nothing happens, and nothing happens a lot. Yay! Nothing happened! Clap clap clap! Go Kat!”

Me: In the game “Pirates,” you get to woo a wife, but what’s cool is that once you are married, you can still woo women in other ports.  This is to your advantage, because they give you useful gifts and information when you charm them.  Why, I have a fantastically beautiful wife, and I’m cheating on her in like five ports.”

Marci: What I don’t get it why a Canadian Team is using a U.S. Mountain as their mascot.  Why would a team call themselves the Toronto Rainiers?

Me: Um, we are playing the Tacoma Rainers. Tacoma is in fact located near Seattle in Washington State, the same state where Mount Rainier is located.

The Jumbo Tron, which we renamed the mini-tron, had its own funnies.

One was called a “cather” instead of a catcher.  They caught that mistake and fixed it.

Another guy whose name was supposedly Vladimir, had his name misspelled on the mini-tron.  For some reason they had Wladimir up there, and man, every time someone pronounced it like it was spelled, we all cracked up laughing.

Then there were the endless physics debates about why some flags were hanging dead and others were flapping in the wind.  There was also a pretty bad physics joke about a hamburger having less energy than a steak because it’s in the ground state. Wakka wakka wakka.

So you see, there was really no need for me to watch the game…there were plenty of other entertaining things going on which demanded my attention.
