The Internets and a new commenter challenge
Posted on January 16th, 2008 – 1:55 PMBy Michael Rand
It’s been a relatively quiet day in sports unless you’re Randy Moss. Nobody seems to want to send us anything sports-related, so we’re going to have to reach into our bag of tricks and get down to business:
*You can see early pictures from the Twins Winter Caravan in the photo gallery at the bottom of this page. Something about TC always makes us smile; it probably goes back to the times we’ve yelled, “Take it all off, Bear!” from the stands, only to have TC shake his bear head.
*You can find a hilarious bit of reading about the KFC Famous Bowl right here. The Famous Bowl hit my mouth like warm soda, slouched down my throat, and splayed itself across my stomach like a sun-stroked wino. (Thanks, Danonymous).
*Don S. wants to take you back 50 years and tell you how to get chicks. The eyes will haunt your dreams.
*Victor Lebanon texted last night with this message: “You R above the urinal at Hooters.” We can only presume it was a paper copy of this piece we had in Tuesday’s paper, ripped out and put above the urinals as they do at several local establishments.
*Finally, that is an absolutely ridiculous picture of former Pirates catcher Mike Diaz. It needs a good caption. Here’s the catch: we’ve checked the metrics. We know there are tons, possibly thousands of readers of this blog who have never commented before. We’ve heard from a few of them that they are intimidated because the other commenters are so funny and/or menacing. So: if you’ve never commented before, you have exclusive commenting rights until 3 p.m. Regulars: Hold your fire until then. What better way to experience your first time with RandBall than with a picture of a decades-gone baseball player? Let’s hear it, newbies.
