What the heck is it for?
I ask because I have a profile or page or whatever the heck it is because a friend at work told me I had to have one to see his funny picture (it was funny) and now I have people being my friends and I’m not sure what Facebook is for.
(Then again I was on twitter for about a month before I commented at all, too.)

I like twitter better. It’s more fun and conversational.

the funny thing is
after one of my first comments, a bunch of my internet friends said “when did you get a twitter?!?” and immediately started following me. Now it’s funny to see the flurry of bots that latch onto a stray mention of something in a comment.

After I talked about how bad the Royals were, I started getting followed by a bot posting listings for apartments in Kansas City.

I'm kind of the opposite
I had Facebook first and I still don’t really know what the difference is between a Facebook status update and a tweet. I basically use Twitter to post links to my blog posts and occasionally I’ll reply to someone else. Besides, more of my friends are on Facebook than Twitter.

Theres tv shows too but they are way too expensive. Movies are too. They really jacked up the prices recently
I already have it on tape
I used to set the VCR to tape games that would be on while I was at work so that I could watch them later (this was before I got MLB.tv). I just happened to work that night, so I kept the tape.

i thought I could get a droid for $19.99 but it turns out that is not for me
my wife just got a palm pre. I’m not sure, I like the droid incredible or the droid. I have a Dare right now.
i'm probably being cheap but the best i've found on the droid is $130
I like the physical keyboard on the droid. On the Dare it’s touch screen and I do a lot of texting, so the simulated keys are annoying
Speaking of annoying
I had to type the word texting 4 times because of this stupid spell check feature on the iPad
I have a BlackBerry
But I really was not at all comfortable with the touch screens I tried – the Droid Eris looked nice, but using it was really frustrating for me. A lot of people don’t mind touch screens, though.
I have a BlackBerry Bold 9700 and have had no problems with typing and I thought I would at first.

I went to a couple of stores and tried them out
Until I found one that was comfortable. I figured the big expense is the data plan anyway, if I was going to have a phone for a couple years at least I wanted one that was comfortable and easy to use.

Here's my addition.
So it’s WWII and an American pilot gets shot down over Germany. He’s quickly found and brought to a POW camp. He has numerous injuries. The German doctors look him over and inform him that he’s going to have to have an amputate his leg. The pilot says, “That’s fine, but can you do me a favor, can you drop it over my base in England.” Slightly confused the doctors say they can, and they do it.
The next day, the doctors inform him there’s just too much damage to his arm, and they’ll have to amputate. The pilot again makes the same request. “Can you drop it over my base in England?” And they do it.
The next day, they come to him and say they have to cut off his arm.
He's make the same request one more time...
..“Can you drop it over my base in England?”
This time, they say, “Nein, this vee can not do anymore!”
Pilot says, “Why not?”
The doctors tell him, “Vee Think you are trying to escape!!!”

Here's a joke....Pirates baseball
Down 3-2 in the 8th, men on first and third, none down.
Garrett Jones hits one right back to the pitcher, the guy at third breaks for the plate, and gets caught in a run down.
LaRoche and McCutcheon both end up on third. The Cardinal tags them both, so whoever is not entitled to be there it out….and then the other guy steps off the base.
Double Play!

Insert diety of choice in this one, they all work, and this is meant with no disrespect to the flood victims in Nashville.
A man was in his house as the flood waters were rising, and did not evacuate with his neighbors. As the waters rose, he climbed to the second floor. A boat came by and offered him a ride to dry land; he said, no thank you, my god will protect me.
The water kept rising and he climbed onto the roof. Another boat came by and tried to rescue him from the rising waters, but again he refused, telling them his god would save him.
The waters rose further yet, and a helicopter hovered overhead and lowered a rope to rescue him, and again he refused it, putting his faith in his god. The water rose further yet and the man died and, as he was a good man, went to heaven.
When he came before his god, he thanked him for accepting him into paradise, but asked why he was not rescued from the flood, despite his faith?
God answered him, “I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what did you expect?”

No idea
I know they wait much longer if it’s late in the season, or the team won’t be traveling there later, or something. That seems a long time to wait when both teams will be there tomorrow anyway.

I'm waiting for Publisher Clearing House to come up to my door...
to tell me I’ve won 10 grand a week for life.

that would be lovely
I’d keep working for a while because there are a lot of procedures I want to write up, but I would take advantage of not having to work anymore to tell off people for being stupid and ignorant. :)

I'd keep my job...
I"d just like not having to worry about a damn thing.

I'm gonna brush my teeth
and if there’s no baseball in Cleveland by the time I’m gargling, I’m saying good night.
good night
I’m signing off as it doesn’t look promising.

Thanks for the jokes and conversation during the rain delay. :)
It was fun.

I hope they make a decision soon
I need to get up at 8 AM, so knowing whether or not an all-nighter is ahead would be beneficial.

i think they'll play it
all they need is a half an hour window. one more inning makes it official.
pitch Zumaya or even Valverde before the rain comes down again

Boo
Blue Jays had a 4-3 lead on the White Sox but Kevin Gregg gave up a solo shot to Pierzynski in the ninth. Still glad we didn’t sign him.

The rain could be the only thing keeping the Tigers from fully blowing this lead.
Can’t keep loading the bases all night/morning.
all they need is one more scoreless inning
and the game is official…i think they’ll wait till midnight
I'm still here, but I'm in bed and I might fall asleep before the game resumes (if it does)
I will not make a conscious effort to fall asleep, though (Oxymoron?)

oxymoron is a new type of oxycodone right?

I don’t know what type I have, but alas, it is not that most common type. Bleh.

I got through 3 hours and 15 minutes of work on sheer will and determination
After that I reached the end of my rope and the pharmacist let me go home early.

I was once stung by a small scorpion when I lived in South Florida.
It was like 3x what a hornet sting is like.

We were never here. I did not make stupid jokes.
