So what do toffs do? Sip £7500 vintage cognacs and talk uppity to each other in private social clubs?

What do wolves in Canada like to eat? Moose!

What do wolves in Yellowstone like to eat? Elk!

What do wolves in St. Louis like to eat? Texas Rangers!

The Dodgers are having the best season ever. I really hope Kemp and Ethier get a chance at the World series even though I've no chance to see them play.

It's about time for a Yankees v. Trolley Dodgers World Series contest again...

Can't wait too much longer, or nobody alive will remember them as the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Korean women's baseball seems much more interesting. At least what I gather from FBMs avatars. :biggrin:

ETA: Also that robofrog on the roof looks about ready to attack.

Ah. Those were local celebs throwing out the first pitch. Such as this girl, who is a...something or other gymnastic-related:

LOL -- that may be the quintessential poster child for "throws like a girl..." Sorry ladies, but your right hand pitch is like a guy's left handed throw. (and vice versa for lefties..)

But, god damnit, she is a hottie, eh?
