Now that will make me tune in.

Thanks for the lawn-ping-pong ping.

In other Spanish sponsorship news, pooper-scooper duty for the next Running of the Bulls will be handled by people of unspecified gender, dressed in Red Bull Energy Drink costumes....

Kramer: You got it. Hey Jerry, do me a favor. The next time you see that lineswoman ask her how those ball boys get those jobs. I would love to be able to do that.

Jerry: Kramer, I think perhaps you've overlooked one of the key aspects of this activity. It's ball *boys*, not ball men. There are no ball men.

Elaine: Yeah I think he's right. I've never seen a ball man.

Kramer: Well there ought to be ball men.

Jerry: All right I'll talk to her. If you want to be a ball man go ahead, break the ball barrier.

When I was a youngster, I wanted very much to do the running of the bulls. I was a Hemingway romantic.

Run with the bulls if you like (watch your step).

Just don't show up at any tennis games in fishnet nylons, K?

[pissant]

I would be irresistible, huh? ROFL!

"I would be irresistible, huh? ROFL!"


No, it's just that there's just not enough janitor's sweeping compound in the world to clean up the barfing that would cause....

...Unless, of course, we go ahead and execute some more trees (that deserve to die ANYWAY!) LOL

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

(Note to all: sweeping compound is mostly sawdust....)

[pissant]

Here's me in drag. You be the judge. LOL

Are you really ELVIRA?! Mistress of the Dark!

[pissant]

Just for Halloween, yep! ;o)

[linkinpunk]

Bad idea. Here's what happens when you use amateurs.

[najida]

Forget you!
It'll make ME tune in (and I don't even watch sports ;) )

Ok, so I'm shallow.

Sue me.

[pissant]

Men are the sports consumers. Skimpier tennis outfits would be a better way for us fellers to tune into women's tennis. ;o)

[Larry Lucido]

I wanted to be a ball boy but I washed out of ball boy boot camp. Drill sergeant said I couldn't maintain my ball bearing.

[najida]

Yeah yeah yeah,

Talk to the TV screen,
I'm getting a list of air times ;)

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Here's me in drag.

Well.....ah.....er.... (stammer) ... do you have an unmarried, identical twin sister?

[pissant]

Yeah, yeah. You'll be flipping to the I love Lucy reruns in no time. :o)
