Redsoxchickie: Just This Side of Stalking

Trade dreams, Charlie Brown and Roadkill...

Baseball off-season: "It...Just..Got...Interesting!!!!", Schilling, Foulke and A-Rod, the most exciting news since the announcement that liquor stores would be open on sundays! Ok so that was like two weeks ago but it was very big news....When did it become popular to staple fur from roadkill to a jacket and call it fashionable? People are walking around like Wookies who got fell into a vat of Nair....A-Rod for Nomar? About as likely as Manny taking a pay cut and playing the baseball for the sheer enjoyment of the game....Hello? What parent in their right mind lets their kid visit a reclusive, eccentric music star that looks like a cadaver? There isn't enough time left in the life of the universe to tell you all the things wrong with Michael Jackson....I still can't find my zeal for watching competitive sports yet. All I could muster for the Pats win this weekend was a grateful sigh, I think I'm turning into Bill Belichick....Have you ever watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special??? I realize its 30 years old and maybe I shouldn't be watching it with 21st Century cynicism but I noticed two major things watching it, A) Peppermint Patty is either the first lesbian cartoon character or she was voiced by Bea Arthur, and 2) The token black kid kept getting the shaft!!! He got the broken chair and he has to sit alone on one side of the table while four white kids sit across from him. Woodstock wouldn't even sit next to the poor kid. Apparently Charles Shultz had some issues. I can't wait to dissect the socio-economical metaphors in A Charlie Brown Christmas!!!...Trivial Pursuit should only be played by those willing to shed blood for their answers...In related news Genus 5 has a wrong answer on a MLB question, unless the Indians were in the East in 1999 (doh!)....If anyone at Dunkies is reading this: could you please brew some frickin' cinnamon coffee once in a while?...2 1/2 months until catchers and pitchers report to Fort Meyers.
