TD game threads:   Like a midnight Rocky Horror screening, but without getting all that rice in your hair...

If November doesn't cure that, December will....

And if December won't do it, by January you're ****ed.

(Afore-promised Beppo Roadsweeper quote... I'd almost forgot. I promised to look it up in an actual book, and i typed it up...)
 
  "You see, Momo," he told her one day, "it's like this. Sometimes, when you've a very long street ahead of you, you think how terribly long it is and feel sure you'll never get it swept."
  He gazed silently into space before continuing. "and then you start to hurry," he went on. "You work faster and faster, and every time you look up there seems to be just as much left to sweep as before, and you try even harder, and you panic, and in the end you're out of breath and have to stop--and still the street stretches away in front of you. That's not the way to do it."
  He pondered awhile. Then he said, "You must never think of the whole street at once, understand? You must only concentrate on the next step, the next breath, the next stroke of the broom, and the next, and the next. Nothing else."
  Again he paused for thought before adding, "that way you enjoy your work, which is important, because then you make a good job of it. And that's how it ought to be."
  There was another long silence. At last he went on. "And all at once, before you know it, you find you've swept the whole street clean, bit by bit. What's more, you aren't out of breath." He nodded to himself. "That's important, too." he concluded.

 

This being from Momo by Michael Ende (er, translated by... J. Maxwell Brownjohn)

What happened to Lapanta, the post game announcer, looks like someone slugged him in the eye.

I had in mind the line that ends "how marvelous" but would have accepted the one about "an overdeveloped sense of vengeance"...

 

But i sure approve of most any other line, including "i hope we win!"

 

Thanks for the high turn out! "As you wish" is particularly elegant, being self fulfilling.

Ran into a drunk and angry Delmon Young?

Anyhoo, good night all, good work, sleep well, most likely er... join ya in tomorrow's game thread!

Ran into a drunk and angry Delmon Young?

The drunkenness explains it.    If Delmon had been sober, he'd have swung and missed.   Three times.

If Game 5 is on the road, I know what kind of car I'll try to rent for the drive to Wrigley...

In the end, we find out it was not the Twins car, it was the Cubs car
