I recently compiled my “All Older Than Me Team.” I turned 35 last month. Russell Martin is my starting shortstop. He played 10 innings at SS last year. I guess I trust him there more than Ben Zobrist or Hanley Ramirez.

Booing in the opera? I’ll be damned.

Do you think it is just plain easier for a British person to do an American accent than the reverse?  Yes, British people hear US accents in the media much more, but it seems to my American ears that British accents just have much more nuances to tangle with. 

Right.  The infant’s mother is 18 years old.  Referring to her as a “woman” can be ambiguous. 

Yeah, that will be fun, but if you ask for too much, he would just find someone else.  It’s not like there is one and only one superior seat on the plane. 

thirteen years ago, I was offered $500 to wait two hours. That seemed unbelievable. I always sit right by the gate to take advantage of offers like this. When I accepted, everyone else waiting was looking at my very enviously. I felt so great! Then right before the regular flight time, an agent said, “Good news! We…

Are you sure he “won’t” date Korean women?  It is entirely possible that he just hasn’t had the opportunity to date a Korean woman.  Men are not nearly as in control of their love lives as women are, Asian American men, significantly less so.  Seriously, women can much more easily say, “I think I will now date an XYZ…

Geeze, how do goths in the Tampa area survive?  It must be really hard to put on all of that elaborate clothing when it is so hot.  I am thinking of moving there and going goth.

have you ever been to Montreal?  It’s great.  Have fun in Manitoba. 

what assholes.  Do they bring their own ice? 

is that Bob Odenkirk, otherwise known as Better Call Saul?  Not his best work. 

Brad: “Why aren’t we going on double dates with some girl roommates?”

What if it was Ichiro Suzuki or Juan Pierre? ie guys who regularly bunt as part of their standard game plan?

I need to have fresh garlic on hand so that I can eat a clove on those mornings when I am sure I reek of the previous night’s alcohol. 

So...no more of this?
