TCTOD: The Hootie’s bobblehead dilemma
Posted on August 27th, 2008 – 4:17 PMBy Michael Rand
The Hootie remembers the day when people used to submit The Commenter Talker Of the Day. Sir?
Here’s the deal. Last year, The Hootie’s Hottie (THH) and her family gave me the Twins Flex 40 package for Christmas. Get to see a lot of games, plus priority for the new ballpark is established= awesome. Sadly, we weren’t sure if we’d be able to renew for this season in light of the wedding that needed paying for. Last minute, the Newbies agreed to go halvsies on the tix- problem solved! There’s one sticking point, though. Flex 40 ticket holders get 2 of the 4 bobbleheads. So, we have two passionate Twins fans trying to figure out who gets Morneau and who gets left with Cuddyer.
We’ve decided to toss it out to the RandBall nation. How should we settle this? Some sort of alcohol fueled athletic competition? Whoever finishes higher in the RandBall AAA fantasy football league? Rochambeau contest? Oiled bikini wrestling match between THH and Mrs. Newbie? (We’d actually both be winners there.) We want the readers to decide.
A man in need has reached out. You know what to do.

Rochambeau contest. I go first!
Put Morneau’s bobblehead on Cuddyer’s body and vice versa. Problem solved.
Oiled bikini wrestling match between THH and Mrs. Newbie? (We’d actually both be winners there.)
Through the wonders of YouTube, we could all be winners. I mean, that would totally be cooler than those fight videos that high schoolers post.
Syrup chug.
Feats of strength.
The ancient game of skill and strategy:
Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Whoever cuts their fingernails first loses.
I think if you get the ladies to oil up and wrassel, Cuddyer/Monreau could probably be convinced to pitch in to get you a few more dolls.
Also, I am much in favor of newbie’s “newbile” designation from an earlier comment thread. The blatant disregard for how it is spelled in favor of how it sounds is powerful. The Hootie should note it down for future reference.

Did anyone catch Around the Horn today? Mariotti somehow convinced the Sun-Times to let him use the newsroom for 15 minutes of the taping, to promptly be cut from the show first. Tony Reali said “everything alright, Mariotti?” while going to commercial and asked him if he felt “resigned finishing in 4th place today”. Also, when Blackistone was cut second, KB’s last words were “I’m just outta here, Tony”, to which Reali replied, “I think those were Jay Mariotti’s last words”. Classic.
/back to topic at hand
Rochambeau by the ladies to the opposition’s junk while oil-wrestling and eating syrup competitively in a simultaneous fashion.
Morneau, even. My apologies to Jason.
Syrup chug.
I’m sorry, Bruce. These boys get that syrup in ‘em, they get all antsy in their pantsy.
It’s true stu, it’s true.
Drunken Naked Twister by the Female Associates.
Ok, I think we’ve decided. We will have the ladies covered in oil, playing naked twister. While we have a best of 3 contest comprised of chugging syrup and rochambeau simultaneously, rock-paper-scissors, and racing our Twins Superheros (The Koskie and Guzman versions.) All while we’re blindfolded with the 2003 (lame blue) homer hanky.
Or as we like to call it, Thursday Night.
Look for it on youtube.*
