Key and Peele has some funny stuff. I don't watch it much though

 

I knew, I mean I KNEW, as soon as I typed that, that I'd see a response along those lines. Kiss of death for entertainers to be liked by me.

[Gibby]

Ok... Here are some more... Tell us if you've heard of any of them.

 

Benny Hill

Benny Mardones

Benny King

Benny Anthajets

Benny Hana

 

Benny Malone.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I mean if I were a shut-in at age 9.

Yeah, but people such as Tibs who don't see daylight for years at time (I assume) aren't considered weird shut ins in today's culture. They're just people like everyone else.

Careful, Tibs. One of those is a joke.

 

 

 

 

/ and so is this

[stringer bell]

'Stros remind me of the early 80s Twins. Young and free-swinging. They will be inconsistent, but exciting. There is a lot of talent there. It wouldn't surprise me if Houston gets good by the time the Twins are good.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Why isnt Pinto DHing?

Because a it's inter league play, and unfair to keep your CF who hits like a pitcher out of the lineup.

No on the first three. Bennie and the Jets is a song by Elton John. Benihana is a restaurant.

[Riverbrian]

I had an electric football game that would screw up reception on the Magnavox console.

 

I wanted to play that game for hours but I always stopped after the running back kept going straight out of bounds for no reason.

One?

Man Kubel is an athletic specimen

[Gibby]

Ben E. King is a musician

 

Martin Luther King was a freedom fighter.

[drock2190]

Are the Twins keeping Kubel around because hes getting paid to perform?

[Gibby]

Martin Luther King was a freedom fighter.

 

Albert King was a better musician than Ben E.

[ashbury]

Yup... "If i Could fly... I'd pick yoooooo up... And take you into the night".

[stringer bell]

Looks like a little regression to the mean for fly ball Phil.

[Tibs]

This isn't me at all. I live on a farm, coach baseball and umpire, and work out every day. I don't use the internet much during the summer. I just like the Twins a lot.

[D. Hocking]

Might be the first time I've seen those names

 

Jack Benny's stuff has actually aged pretty well -- even some of his radio stuff.

 

Our kitchen light used to knock out the radio -- which was why it was exciting when we finally got FM radios for Christmas one year. I am not quite as old as it sounds, my parents were always slow on updating technology. I don't think we had a cassette player until the 80s. We had a phonograph that you could fold up like a suit case and move from room to room. I remember listening to old Jack Benny records when we came to Minnesota in our covered wagon.

[Gibby]

I think TK's monotone is bringing the whole team down.

[ashbury]

It wouldn't surprise me if Houston gets good by the time the Twins are good.

 

This may be understatement.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

speaking of old curmudgeons....

I refuse to consider the Astros AL or wear my teeth!

[Riverbrian]

Albert King was a better musician than Ben E.

 

Billie Jean King beat a 55 year old Bobby Riggs

Alright so now you're weird...

 

but seriously... Thank you for making the sport we all love better for the next generation.

The Lucille Ball video link on the first page is quite good - even though you know the joke is coming, it's done so well you can't help yourself. Even the mean boss almost broke character

[Bark's Lounge]

Luther King was a victim.

Speaking of breaking character... Harvey Korman and Tim Conway... Those things used to make cry laughing so hard.
