Puma One Liners
« on: March 01, 2010, 04:18:03 pm »
Footer has set up another Twitter account, this time to share various one-liners that she (and a couple of others) hears from various folks associated with the Astros.  Twitter LINK; story LINK

Major League Baseball players come in all shapes and sizes. They have an array of personalities, from serious and reserved to fun-loving and carefree. There are the intellectuals and the pranksters, the high-intensity veterans and the high-energy rookies.

We watch them play every day, and sometimes it's hard to remember they're not robots, but instead, people with thoughts, interests, families and insights, just like the rest of us.

With that, we introduce you to a new Twitter account to follow: PumaOneLiners. This will be solely dedicated to quotes from your Astros, ranging from the funny witticisms to postgame comments from the clubhouse and anything we pick up in between.

It's obviously named after our resident hilariously funny superstar, Lance Berkman, who named himself Big Puma a few years ago when he grew tired of the "Fat Elvis" label. By naming the Twitter account after Puma, we're saluting our beloved first baseman and all of the laughs he's provided over the years. But PumaOneLiners won't be limited to just Berkman witticisms. We'll draw from everyone -- the players, manager, coaches and, of course, our broadcasters, whose senses of humor are displayed nightly on the airwaves.

Oswalt: ""Biggio used to have a piece of gum that he chewed when he was hitting. He always putting the gum in his helmet in between innings. I saw him do this every day, so one time, while he was out on the field, I put my gum in his helmet & he chewed mine."

Mills on relay drills and hitting cutoff man: "I'm not going to say it went outstanding, but it didn't go bad either."

One wonders whether "travelling horseshit show" would've been a Twitterance.

Someone has created PumaWonLiners as a response. No word if it is actually a player.

My first reaction was to say, hell no, Arrested Development is waaaay more funny than that.  Then I realized what the acronym really was.  Carry on.

And yet, if pushed, I would have to guess that there are several Analrapists on that site.
