Well, I have absolutely nothing to say, so here's a meme EVEN I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON! Because it doesn't involve fic, obv. I should just be glad I'm writing at all, and on two fic to boot.
But anywho, stoled from E'RYONE!
Respond to wanting to take this survey and I will make my best attempt at answering the following:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ.
No 7 cuz most of yous have done this already.
So apparently Chutley and A-Row are golfing buddies. And share the phone in interviews. How sweet. I've been in Olde!Braves world for too long, because golfing to me is a euphenism for that's not the only thing they do together away from the ballpark.
Oh, and what's the deal with Davey and his condom hat? I mean, I get it was for cancer patients, but couldn't he of just shaved his head LIKE HE DID FOR THE METS! Or do the Mets come before cancer, idk here. I'm confused. I think David is too, but about other things. Oh, you know.
Also, after I get my first paycheck, I'm ttly buying the offseason package. SO I CAN WATCH AUGUST 27-30 REPEATEDLY EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF THE OFFSEASON AND ON THE PHILLY FEED.
I am seriously still wondering why the fuck I got stuck with 3 tickets to the wrong 4-game series. Sob.
But in better news, I have ideas for signs for next year. I need to see Glav pitch next year. Why? Well, so I can show off my huge "Thank you Tom Glavine! ♥ Philadelphia" sign. Or is that too mean? Hmm. Nah. Not if it's for Tom.
And, don't think I forgot, cardinalfan06! To everyone else, I believe I posted this a few years ago but it's always nice to revisit funny things. So I present to you
"Hazing may be something that's connected with pledging to a fraternity, but it's also a practice that takes place in baseball. The veterans initiate the rookies at some point during the season.
The hazing process often takes place on the last day of a road trip. During the away game, a veteran player enters the rookie's locker and heists and hides his street clothes. He replaces them with some outrageous garb, usually women's clothes, a Batman costume or some other outlandish kind of attire. Naturally, when the player returns to the clubhouse after the game, he finds that he has nothing else to wear unless he wants to leave the ballpark dressed in his uniform.
Often, the annual ritual takes an unexpected twist-at least for the hazee. Such was the case in 1997 when with several other freshmen Scott Rolen was a victim of some creative hazing on his way to becoming National League Rookie of the Year.
Rolen arrived unsuspectingly at his locker after a game in Chicago only to find that his clothes had disappeared from his locker. A pink halter top and a poodle skirt were left in place of his pants and shirt.
The rookie third baseman had no choice but to put on the clothes. It so happened that, living not too far from Chicago, Rolen's parents, his future wife and her friends, other relatives, and many of his old buddies, including his high school coach, attended the game. Rolen was supposed to meet this large entourage after the game at the gate in right field where players from the visiting team boarded their bus.
To the utter shock of the Rolen group, Scott emerged from the corridor that connected the clubhouse to the gate wearing his womanly garments. If that wasn't bad enough, though, chief prankster Rex Hudler had arranged for the bus to be relocated to a spot behind the home plate entrance. Thus, Rolen and the other rookies had to walk the long block from where the buss was supposed to be to wear it was.
Not only was Rolen totally embarassed, Cubs fans, a goodly number of whom were suffering from the consumption of too many brewery products, took pictures and gave him a razzing like he's never heard before or since."
And they all lived happily ever after.
So, I think I need to fill up my last 10 or so icon spaces with things not-sports-related. I just don't know what, exactly. But if anybody could point me in the direction of some nice Philadelphia-stock icons, I would love you forever. :3
Finally, have a song I'm currently digging!
R.E.M.//Strange Currencies
You know with love come strange currencies
and here is my appeal:
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,
a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real
But anywho, stoled from E'RYONE!
