That is amazing!

And you came up with a nickname for the denizens of the Row, to boot.

I think Rowbots works as a nickname...

Doesn’t quite beat out the McCoven, but it’s better than Pitters and GLBer’s sounds sort of well, you know, not that there’s anything wrong with that… I really don’t know what to do with TBLA members, but I should probably come up with something because we’ve been getting more chatter from their direction of late.

Ballers ball.

And you know this.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Yeah, for some reason that just doesn't really seem to help the earlier issue

I had. Even though it says “Gangsta” I keep reading it “Wangsta” for some reason. :)

Wang on the brain?

Someone’s been reading a little too much Uncommon…

Funny

and well done. Great lyrics and musical talent.

Hey!

I’ve seen that guy’s a cappella group! I’m totally serious. I’ve been to a number of the college a cappella competitions in the Bay Area the last few years, since my alma mater had competing groups (and they’ve each won the international final in NYC over the last few years, yay!), and Hookslide hosted one year. I don’t know which guy he is, but they’re really good.

Ooohhh, so maybe one of us is that talented but has been holding out...

Were you at these competitions as a fan or participant? I’m thoroughly expecting you to blow everybody away at the first annual Purple Row Karaoke Showdown now. I have no idea how we’re going to set that up, though.

No, not a participant.

I was just a fan. I can sing in that I can hold a tune and even pick out a part, but I’m much more suited to being an anonymous voice in a choir. Besides, I’m more comfortable on the instrumental side of things. I play the piano and the organ for church, and I play the flute (though I haven’t picked it up in awhile, so I’m probably rusty). I was a band geek.

Ahh... church musicians...

A lot of my friends have or had gone along that path, although I always admired the ones of your faith because they all do if for free. Most of the others only do it for the lucre…

I was a band geek myself before I became a drama geek. Now I’m just a baseball geek.

I used to be

in a punk band. But, at least according to my dad, punk rock is talentless so I guess that nixes me from the Purple Row talent list…

I'm

up for karaoke. It could be fun, as long as I don’t have to make up songs and can sing the ones I might already know.

LMAO

The guy can sing too! Big props to him.

Two other things:

One, I love Rowbots. Clever, without being trite. Excellent coinage of a term. We’ve long needed a term less unwieldy than “denizens of the Row”, which I myself have used more than once.

Two, when you set up the Purple Row Karaoke Showdown, just tell me when and where. That would be too much fun for words. (LOL)

You know what?

I’m SORRY I’m not that talented, alright? My song would suck a lot more, and be all about like BABIP and FIP or GB% or something boring like that.

See what you made me do

This guy didn't like it.

But that’s what he did after he saw my performance as a backup singer in a reenactment of the Top Gun bar scene when the pilots sing “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling.”

In all seriousness,

I thought that was good.

That's funny

I was appalled I even did it

I was trying to fit BABIP into “RESPECT” and it wasn’t working, and then my fiancee goes “WAIT BABIP (counts on fingers) EE II EE II OH” and downhill it went
