I HAVE A MAJOR TRADE TO ANNOUNCE
« on: July 31, 2006, 12:07:34 pm »
I have traded my usual breakfast cereal for Grapenuts.  They're neither grapes nor nuts, but I am now proud to say that I am, in a word, "regular."

I'll trade you your "regular" for a block of Velveeta and some constipation to be named later.

I don't see how this trade works for me.  I'm going to need acne to make this work.

Everything is good with Velveeta. If you're not bringing the Velveeta, you're just cutting the cheese.

Pinwheel is reporting that you offered a western omlette for a piece of burnt toast, but that Baltimore held out for a side of orange juice in the deal.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

....And now Western Omlette is so upset with you, that you will not be able to order it again.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

And just in from Carroll...deal was rescinded when Baltimore planned to turn around and trade western omelette for two pieces of uncooked pork at Triple A with potential.

There's a blog out there waiting for something just a little different....that announcement might suffice.  As long as this thread is thrown in with the deal plua a subscription to the Pinwheel's paper, I'm for it.

Oh, that's ok.  The past week or so, right after eating Western Omelette, it had been disagreeing with me, sometimes giving me trouble.  Audible trouble.  Like, to people that didn't need to know about it.

Definitely something that should have been kept "in-house."

I can see Pinwheel's blog now...

Noted Astros fan Alkie offered up his breakfast cereal to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for two slices of toast...Alkie you'll recall once offered Austin Kearns 20 free lap dances at the Gold Cup in exchange for a box of Chex Mix...

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Fucking Kearns turned it down.

I'm not doing too well out here as a GM.

Ok, look people...I have about 4 hours and everything's gotta go.

Here's what's up for grabs, make me an offer:

1) My charming personality
2) My incredible good looks
3) My beer gut
4) Partial season tickets behind the plate
5) A one-legged hooker from Austin
6) A lap dance at the Yellow Rose
7) Three cane sugar Root Beers
8) My huge ethnicly-charged cock

So, is it fair to say that western omelette has the 'red ass?'

Hey man, how the hell am I supposed to trade something that isn't properly disclosed to the public?  What do I look like, the Yankees?

Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Alkie: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Alkie: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Impacted waste.
