Truly, this is what the internets tubes were invented for.
Porno be damned. A man wants to play with his widget, is all.
Is that what we're calling it now, a widget? Well, I guess I'll have to go looking for a "widget extender" now.
Richard,
I had one of those Rich-Kincaide-inspired moments of sports-related humor today, when I was taking the train into the city and there were loads of these Cubs ’n Sox fans heading into the (ahem) “Cross-town Classic” – you know, the loud kind of we-don’t-know-mass-transit-etiquette-type fans – when I see one particular Sox fan carrying a sign that says, “Hit it to Milton,” which, I thought, Rich Kincaide would appreciate. The sign, I mean. “Hit it to Milton.” Heh, heh.
Which makes me think that all sports-related humor has a certain wonkishness to it, even if it comes from a Sox fan.
To-wit: This interview with the host of NPR’s “Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me,” fellow Oak Parker Peter Sagal, which he linked to on his blog here, which prompted humorous comment from me about one Harry Caray and Chicago sports commentators generally, which (the comment) is currently “awaiting moderation” on Sagal’s blog, but which I’ll post the link to once it clears that hurdle.
Wonkish, indeed.
So, my man Peter Sagal posted the aforementioned comment here. It’s probably not nearly as clever as I imagine it to be. But sports-wonkish? Hell, yes.
I didn't even know what a widget is (was) and I still don't. I thought it was like a US Open leaderboard that would appear on my blog and I thought, "How bitchin' is that?" Now its apparently some sex thing and that means the wife is going to want to know all the details and I'm afraid that's going to cut into my US Open-watching time. By at least of couple of minutes.
Good cross-town classic today, Dave. Cubs down three with two out in the 8th and they win it? Thank you very much. And the Tigers returned the favor for you, defeating the Cardinals.
Down 4 in the 8th with two outs, I meant. My bad. That made it even better. Fuck the Soxs I would say, but it sounds too much like tube sock terrorism.
Yeah, I’m sorry I missed it. I was downtown at a meeting and not back until after, like, 3:00 or so and they were losing. Imagine my surprise when I caught the sports report later that evening only to find out they won.
(For the record, I don’t hate the White Sox. As far as I’m concerned, I’ll root for any Chicago team. I am, however, an unrepentant Cubs fan. I just don’t have the time or the inclination to be a genuine fan of more than one team per sport. Nonetheless, when the Sox are playing anyone other than the Cubs, I’m basically pulling for them. In a completely noncommittal way; but with a complete absence of malice. If that makes any sense.)
