Commenter Of the Week: Brandon’s photo finish

cow1.jpgBrandon sent in a story this week that was equal parts hilarious and, well, probably inappropriate given that we couldn’t verify the information nor could we justify printing some of the words. So we struck a deal with him: we would clean it up to the point we felt it was still amusing, and he would post the original version on his fine site, World of B. However, when we tried to make an edited version, the story turned out kind of lame. So instead, we decided to make a Mad Lib out of it. But you can still hopefully read the full entry over at World of B. Let’s get to the Mad Lib (and please fill in the blanks with your comments, using the usual 20 percent rule that states comments can be 20 percent less tasteful than the actual post while still being acceptable):

The backup first baseman on my amateur baseball team is a good friend of mine, a father of two and a heckuva nice guy, but more interesting, he’s a former batboy for the Minnesota Twins. His stint for the hometown nine took place quite a few years back, and he was technically just a fill-in so his time was brief, but he was around long enough to pass along the following story.

The year was —-, and my friend Mike walked into the clubhouse to prepare for his batboy duties. The players were preparing for their game, taping their wrists, yanking up their stirrups and ———— and whatnot, when all of a sudden, ———- ————– came rushing in from another room, whooping in delight with a Polaroid in his hand.

Mike watched as ——— ran around to the players to reveal the photo and saw the teammates howl with ——- and ——. Finally, after the Polaroid made its rounds with the teammates, Mike was able to view it.

Pictured in the photo: a ——–. A ———, in fact, ——- by one ——– ———. A few minutes earlier, as ——– was finishing ———, he decided this ——— ——– needed to be memorialized for eternity. So he tracked down a camera, snapped the shot and commenced his showing off to the teammates. He was apparently so proud that he hung the photo on his locker, where it would stay for the next few months.

We’re expecting big things from you, dear readers. A COW could be won or lost right here.
