I wanted to be an old curmdugeon but I couldn't spell it so I settled for old Crank

Eye.  Tee.

 

It.

 

EDIT:  Beaten to punch by old curmudgeon.

 

Damn!

[Riverbrian]

 

It is spelled "I-T"

 

Not anymore... "It" is now a title for the guy I call when I have technical issues with software and things I don't understand.  

[spinowner]

 

Eye.  Tee.

 

It.

 

EDIT:  Beaten to punch by old curmudgeon.

 

Damn!

As Yogi might say, a great mind thinks alike!

Damn!

Well, an old curmudgeon is still quite a bit younger than you.

[spinowner]

It's time to make tubby run after a bunt!

I thought it was "Hey Boo Boo" 

[Squirrel]

It's time to make tubby run after a bunt!

I'd love it if every batter in an inning bunted against CC

[Squirrel]

Ouch

[Riverbrian]

Chief is gritting his teeth

[spinowner]

Pitching coach should tell tubby to throw a high fastball to Dozier.

[Riverbrian]

Santana gets hit... AND NOBODY BUNTED!!!

[USAFChief]

Earlier today I had to run to the grocery store.  I'm standing in the checkout line (can't do those fancy schmancy self checkout BS things) and a middle aged lady is checking out.  She has a half gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, some lettuce, a few assorted pieces of fruit, and some frozen pizzas.

 

The smarmy young checkout clerk dude in the Megadeth T shirt and bored smile on his face, as he's running her items over the checkout thing, looks up and says..."you must be single."

 

"Well, yeah," she says.  "How'd you know."

 

"You're ugly."

[Squirrel]

It's not that I'm all for bunting all the time; I'm just for bunting a lot on CC

[spinowner]

We've had a 2-run homer and a 3-run homer...

[USAFChief]

C C C-ya.

That's Funny... I like jokes with sharp left turns like that. 

 

However... I must point out that your stories all have eggs in them somewhere. I'm not sure if this is a pattern or obsession or coincidence but you are becoming the egg man... Koo Koo Ka Choo.

Yeah... I'm with ya... But it's kinda like bunting on Chief at the same time. CC and Chief react the exact same way.

That reminds me of the famous Winston Churchill story. He told a woman she was ugly. She said, "You're drunk!" And he said, "Yes. but tomorrow I shall be sober."

[Blake]

 

Not any more. I've become an old curmudgeon completely out of touch with pop culture.

I was a young curmudgeon myself. I was a late bloomer in most things but not curmudgeonliness.

[spinowner]

That call was B as in B and S as in S

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Molitor eject stickin' up for Hicks on that play.

[Riverbrian]

I think he went but the home plate ump should have checked with the base ump.

Yeah... How bout that... Molly pulling a Gardy

[TheLeviathan]

He went, but Molly was right to do that.

[Squirrel]

Well, ugh and poop.

[TheLeviathan]

Hicks cannot read balls hit over his head and to his right.  He frequently misreads those.

[JB_Iowa]

Direct result of that PA for Hicks.

[Squirrel]

Damn it! PULL IT TOGETHER OUT THERE!!!!!

Another Churchill:   

Lady Astor:  "If you were my husband, I'd put poison in your coffee."

Churchill:  "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."
