I wouldn't ask you to turn on your TV unless I had a good reason. But I can tell you've been down lately, maybe because your friends are going to Burningman and you're not, or you're just worried that Corey Feldman might be getting too old to star in Goonies 2 . The point is, you need something to rekindle your inner glow, to lessen your unbearable lightness of being. Well friends, it's on ABC every night this week. It is the The Little League World Series .
I swear there is something truly cathartic about watching these 6-8th graders play a healthy game of ball. True, they're a little more focused than most kids (I was the kid in left field sitting cross-legged on the ground, picking blades of grass (and occasionally my nose)), but when they're not in the field or hovering over homeplate with a bat we catch them just being kids -- horsing around in the dugout, or just playing with their socks, and always looking unimpressed by the TV cameras.
The best part is that the kids always leave the arguing and the screaming to the adults.
So be a good american, and check the link above for the game schedule. And as the 1st pitch is thrown, don't forget to grab yerself a tofu dog
and melt some
faux-cheez over it. Cause Corey and I both think you'll be happier when you're vegan.
Jeffro you should post where you are when you post some of these things...since you dart back and forth across the map like a convict on the lamb...I mean, band on the run...
Posted by: colin at August 25, 2004 09:20 AMVery well. This message written to you from the Holidy Inn -- Turf on Wolf Road -- Albany, NY at 5:30am where I am currently popping Hall's Vitamin C Throat Lozenges like a duped candy raver because my immune system decided to go on strike. Unfair wages my ass.
and BTW, vegetarians do NOT go 'on the lamb'. We go down swingin. Usually behind high-priced lawyers that our bosses paid for.
Posted by: jeffro at August 25, 2004 03:08 PMewww, sorry to hear your sick....but if it means you'll post more, like the true capitalist swine I am, I hope it's a slow agonizing demise...
BTW, the image of you as a young child, and ever the intellectual, sitting in left field playing with the grass blades as opposed to the ball is hilarious...
hope ya feel better soon
Posted by: colin at August 25, 2004 03:13 PMhey jeffro, I know that Holiday Inn. It's right up the road from the Red Lobster. Great malls there on Wolf Road.
BTW, even a veggie ought to know it's "lam". those glasses aren't working.
Posted by: jerome the underpants gnome at August 25, 2004 04:43 PMDamn, stalker, is that you in the room across the hall? The one I keep seeing the curtains in the window part just enough for that camera lens to poke through?
Too true, great malls here on Wolf Rd. Tho after being on the Warped Tour for 2.5 months i need a little respite from places underage girls like to hang out.
