By the power of GreySkull?

[Platoon]

Think Salinger, Poe, Kerouac, Kesey and Thompson, especially Thompson.

Sid Hartman??

I've been to Luckenbach

 

I was driving the Texas Hill Country with the Family and I saw sign that said... "Luckenbach 3 miles that way or whatever... So... Yeah... We turned and went to Luckenbach. 

 

It is two buildings and that's it. I didn't even see any houses or family dwellings at all. There were Chickens walking around everywhere. A Bunch of outdoor picnic tables with old people sitting at them and a guitar player just singing a song. 

 

We looked around and said... OK... We've seen it and we continued on through the middle of nowhere. 

I guess, all I have to say to that is "Waylan and Willie and the Boys".

I HAVE THE POWER!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

For having songs stuck in your head...

you could do a whole lot worse than Luckenbach.

 

I salute you folks

[Riverbrian]

 

Those kind of places are the best in the world.

 

I completely agree... If I had a nickel for every time my Kids said... "Nooooooooooo Dad... Let's keep going" whenever I take a back road to see the World's Largest Mouse with Cheese Statue. 

 

Well... I'm sure I'd have a couple of bucks in nickels. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Sid Hartman??

 

You are all... Close Personal Friends of Mine

[Joe A. Preusser]

Sid Hartman??

I think Sid and Poe went to high school together.

[Hrbowski]

Speaking of Texas, these are the Astros batting averages for their lineup tonight:

.364

.213

.202

.195

.155

.294

.371

.238

.158

 

And they are on a 10 game win streak.

We did the same thing, saw that sign that said 3 miles, and could not resist. I thought the one building was a bar, or a barn, in Texas it's hard to tell the difference. Without going to the Google, it seems to me that it was near the LBJ ranch? Btw, I did not see Waylon, Willy, or even any boys!

[JB_Iowa]

Out.

[Mill1634]

How does the fastest guy on the team have 0 stolen bases?

I've said it before and I'll say it again... It ain't the Average... It's the timing of when you raise the average.

Your cousins really do not know what's in store for them, do they?

Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino  · 1m1 minute ago 
Very next pitch, Schafer caught stealing for third time this year in as many attempts.

[Hrbowski]

I think I should take a look at their OBP.

[Riverbrian]

 

Out.

 

That was a Circus Boy Update

[Joe A. Preusser]

I could do it if I were the fastest guy on the team.

[Riverbrian]

They really don't... they are coming along for the two week ride. 

 

I'm just hoping that they don't spend the entire trip with their faces out the car window barking at the cars we pass. 

[Platoon]

Poe took English, I am not sure I can say that about Sid!

[Hrbowski]

When I play I like to pretend I'm gonna steal home, and I did it a couple of times. (In sandlot games, that is.)

[Mill1634]

Is it safe to say "star wars night" was a flop? I've seen about 5 people dressed up.

[Hrbowski]

Hughes has recovered nicely.

[Mill1634]

Holy Sh*t. (Sorry kids), but that was one heck of a play. 

[Squirrel]

Wow! Dozier! I'm glad we have one of those!

[Riverbrian]

I'm a Brian Dozier Fan... I'd like to have one of those... 

 

OK... Cool... We do!!!

 

Edit: Chitown beat me

Dan Gladden is most likely celebrating, he hates the idea.

Hey, hey, hey. I can't have you using my my name in a fashion I do not endorse. Cool your jets or you'll have a lawsuit on your hands.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

sorry I missed it!

 

EDIT:

(sorry I missed the Dozier play, that is)

(not the star wars night)

 

SECOND EDIT:

(though i liked star wars)

 

THIRD EDIT:

(just not enough to dress my dog and cat up and walk around the neighborhood)

You know ... if you type out the whole word, it gets bleeped anyway. Er, I think it does. ****.
