We’re gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin’ to meet you.
We’re gonna bring a case of wine
History and literature are my favorite areas from which to harvest ideas. Put any modern object or setting into hands of ancient people = automatic joke.
That sure is good motivation. I see a home run coming up.
Finally got to you. After all the moving & my internet reconnection taking 2 weeks it’s taking ages to catch up with all the blogs/webcomics in my RSS reader. Plus lots of things to do around the new home is consuming a lot of my time too.
Moving isn’t my most favourite thing. After the actual move it still takes ages to get everything sorted out. Then there’s the “I can’t find where we put it” phase to overcome too.
Poor guy, give him a break not everyone can do two thing at once. Plus he is only human. The coach need to make up his mind whether the player should “get a hit or the message”, lol

That lion looks well fed. I’m guessing some strike-outs have occured.

That’s a good one, Maxi. I am surprised the Detroit “Lions” even have a team.

If they strike out, they may end up forfeiting the game for not enough players.

If we just consider what is available to us today in medical treatment, none of those old days were good.
