Good outing.  Needs to have a shock collar around his nut sack for Cooper to buzz whenever he leaves the ball up.

Good they give one to Edmonds, just for the hell of it?

If they shocked him every time he made it so he had to dive for a routine fly ball his balls would end up vibrating like a nudist colony in Antarctica.

One of the best analogies I've ever heard.

Actually, that's a simile, not really an analogy.

[Emo Oranges]

Eh...my fault, I'm used to similes using "like or as"

My South Carolina education fails me again!  Would you like to explain a metaphor now?

Your clarkish skin is a tissue. Hopelessly thin.

What are you talking about?  This is a simile.

I like it!

...if you assumed me to be offended then you were incorrect.  Seriously...what are we like 48th or 49th in education?

Had you gone to public schools in Midland, you would have recognized the word "like" in cougar's post.  A metaphor is an implicit comparison.  A simile is similar to a metaphor, but is a direct comparison using the words "like" or "as".  It's a much more specific description.  An analogy is more of a logical argument.

Yeah, but once that West Texas sand gets in your teeth, you never want to leave.

52nd ... Don't forget Guam & Puerto Rico.  (Or maybe 51st ... I was forgetting Mississippi.)

FIFY.

Reminds of the explanation as to why toothpaste was invented in West Texas.  Because if it had been invented anywhere else, it would've been called "theethpaste".

Here in the states, we spell it "Teeth"  I know you Brits throw in an extra E now and maybe a U but the H was new to me.

When Limey takes his citizenship test, he'll be asked to spell: color, analyze, and memorize.  He will, of course, fail at this and will be immediately deported back to the mother country to live out his life as a shrubber or maybe a typesetter at the Guardian.  But, at least he'll be able to get a decent goddamn cup of tea.

With regards to spelling, I respectfully direct everyone to check the timestamp on the post and then be amazed that I actually got that whole post out there at all!

... it looks like it took over 10 hours to come up with your gem.  Are we supposed to be impressed with that?

You weren't paying attention.

Isn't the match at 2:00 pm this afternoon?

Of course I was.

Considering that, during the entire intervening 10 hours (and for 2 hours before that), I had been drinking, I think it was very impressive, if misguided.
