It's going to take more than a stripper pole to make me move that close to hawkeye country.
My wife is downtown at the Royals parade. She's saying that their estimate of 200,000 people is gonna be waaaay off.
This is all reminding me of our AP style public affairs office battling with our Government Printing Office style writer editor over style rules. I really miss having a writer editor a couple of cubicles away. “Hey, Mary, apostrophe after the S with this or not?†Unfortunately this undervalued position was left vacant after Mary retired.
I am an okay business style writer but at work that was elevated to “good†based on a grading curve. Other than two of our lawyers most of the staff cannot write worth a damn. I pretty much expect everything here to suck when I read it and when it doesn’t I am all “Oooh, this wouldn’t actually embarrass me to have this seen outside the agency.â€
I have a feeling because of it, Drunk Pants and Rum Brooklyn would go round for round in a heated argument over the Oxford comma.
the Oxford comma shall be used by me for forever. Just like I refuse to let "If I were" become "If I was".
"A few things I would like to say about this series:
1. My ban was ********. My ban comment said something like this, "We know this series means a lot to you, but you need to post in the Cardinals board only as we told you." Between the time I spend at work, my martial arts/kickboxing training, and my free pleasure time, I don't have enough time to read EVERY comment, so when you want to address me, send me a message to my page. And I don't know if this counts as a 'Cardinals thread/board', but I really don't care.
2. I don't come on here for my benefit nor do I have to, I have a family to put food on the table for. I come here to educate fans about sports and other life lessons. If you want to continue to ban me, then that's your loss I guess. I have enough opportunities outside of here to help others in the community. I don't think I have been receiving enough credit lately. Again, if you ban me again, it's your loss, not mine.
3. Game 1 was a St. Louis Cardinal domination. Jaime choked in game 2. That error set the tone for the entire game. The young Cub roster became relaxed for the first time and the game was pretty much over from there. Now Airietta is due for a not so great game. Game 3 coming up. Cardinals win in 4."
Well if he's banned we won't get to see gems like these anymore.
