5th worst hitter in Major League history! I'm so proud I'm getting misty over here!

Maybe this explains why I could play any position on the field but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. With a car.

That is classic! Good for you for not getting upset about it!

Very cool! I love baseball!

I love the tight pants they wear!

And I love the excitement when they have a touchdown!

Bet you like it when they have to go to the penalty box too!

You're not gonna fool me! I know there's not penalty box in baseball!

That's soccer!

NUH-UH, soccer is where you make a basket and shoot free throws.

(Side note, I really DO wish basketball would bring back the short shorts. Only without every player having the late 70's early 80's scary 'stach.)

I don't know. Sometimes it's hot when a guy is rocking the Seventies Porn 'stache.

And don't try and trip me up any more on the sports stuff.

I'm like an expert.

Jenn taught me everything she knows. And she's a big fan of all the Nebraska teams

I was so waiting for this!

You do not disappoint Rob! much...

 

[rpmdfw]

You do not disappoint Rob!

Of course I don't disappoint Rob. He's the LAST one I'd want to disappoint!

Everyone else is horribly disappointed by me, but I continue to meet my own (admittedly low) expectations!

Nebraska? They have sports there? I thought it was just corn and wheat.

Heck if I know. Jenn's the one that's always going on an ON about the teams from NE.

Which is odd, because she's from Massachusetts.

Maybe she went to college in Nebraska or something?

Backstory. I live in Massachusetts. Big Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins and Celtics fan. All the New England teams.

I said on some thread, some where, some thing about the NE teams. I meant the New England teams. Rob likes to tease me about it.

I'd rather be a Nebraska fan!

(My parents were both born and raised in the Bronx, SO I'm gonna have to dispute many of your favorites on principle. Even though I'm a Chicago sports fan myself.)

 

[rpmdfw]

I'd rather be a Nebraska fan!

Okay, that made me laugh. You can stay.

 

[jenn&nelsonrego]

I'd rather be a Nebraska fan!

Eh, nobody's perfect.

 

[postage stamp]

YAY I can STAY!

( And the only reason I'm not perfect is because I'm fat and I was born without a filter.)

 

[rpmdfw]

I was born without a filter.

Are you related to Wally?

He was born without a filter, too.

And don't mention the "f" word to Rosie! She LOVES to call everyone fat! Especially me and Saxton!

I'm 100% Irish. Not having a filter is part of my charm.

 

[rpmdfw]

I'm half Irish!

I'm also half Italian (Sicilian, actually).

For some reason when I mention this, people ask if I've got a temper or assume that I can really knock back a few.

 

[Gypsybear]

No Rob....temper is what I have.....1/2 Italian and 1/2 Mexican...

I had a boss ask me once if I carried a knife in EACH hand....

Oooooh, and before I forget....congrats on the story, Postage....(I think?)
