How'd the Phillies get to the World Series?
« on: October 23, 2008, 11:03:02 am »
Bill Madden of the New York Daily News

...The real credit, Gillick says half-kiddingly, (only half Bill?) goes to the Mets.

"If you want to know the best thing we had going for us this year," said Gillick, "it was the fact that all the other teams in our division hated the Mets' guts."

Hate the Mets, Hate the Mets,
Step right up and berate the Mets.
Don’t bring the kiddies, don’t bring your wife,
MetFan may force you to run for your life.
Because the Mets are really suckin’ on balls,
Watchin’ our home runs over the walls.
East side, West side, everybody’s coming down,
To HATE the M-E-T-S Mets, of New York town.

I thought I was watching his clone when the prez. of Taco Bell was interviewed about the free tacos for everyone after the stolen base last night.

How can the leader of mexican fast food be a limey?

Taco Bell is Mexican food?  Shit, I'm not entirely convinced it qualifies as food.

It's marketed in pill form as "Ex-lax."

All he does is take the same common ingredients and mix them up in a different order.  He then mashes up food terms to make new words to describe what he's just concocted.  It's basically playing Scrabble with food.

It's a formula for absolute success.  How can yo go wrong with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, "beef" and corn flour?  I'd suggest it's impossible.  My gastro-intestinal system and toilet heartily agree.

Never realized their slogan "Run for the Border" was a warning. Which border, do you suppose--Oklahoma or perhaps Canada?
