No offense taken
I just feel contractually obligated to comment. Sadly there is no Nergon VIII in the Book of Mormon. There is a Jacobugath, though. My favorite city name in the whole book. Sadly, it was full of evil and consequently destroyed.

Heh
A couple of my friends talked about going to Taco Bell at 2 AM in a taxi, and the driver said he could take them there. Their response: “We have to go get hungry first.”
Yup.
At 1:30AM. And then bring it back to the bar to eat.
We are truly in the presense of greatness here…-- unnamedDBacksfan
That doesn't count,
because I think he actually is a stoner.
We are truly in the presense of greatness here…-- unnamedDBacksfan
Yeah, totally doesn't count
People think I look like a stoner and I’m actually not. By the way, when I was heading back from spring training in ’07, I got pulled over in Arizona and had my car searched for drugs.
I was actually shocked
I was under the impression that they didn’t pull people over for going 4 over the speed limit in Arizona.
It's how
small towns earn revenue. My dad once got a speeding ticket on I-10 for going 6 MPH over — in the far east of the state, driving back to Tucson.
We are truly in the presense of greatness here…-- unnamedDBacksfan
Warning?
The cop gave Dad a ticket KNOWING there was no way he was gonna drive two hours to fight it.
We are truly in the presense of greatness here…-- unnamedDBacksfan
Yeah, I know
Something about “the road goes through a canyon up ahead, and there have been a bunch of traffic fatalities, watch your speed.” And then they brought in the drug dog.
My dad got pulled over once
because the cop thought he had an open bottle of vodka. Turned out it was a water bottle and my dad has never had a drink in his life. The officer felt silly and apologized, my dad didn’t mind, because he’d rather the guy do his job even if wrong sometimes.
Well
That’s never been an issue for me. I’ve been pulled over twice for legitimate reasons and then had my car searched.
But
did your dad have a water bottle full of vodka? I hear that’s what the kids are doing now… so they can sneak it into their mush pits and things.
We are truly in the presense of greatness here…-- unnamedDBacksfan
Hee
Not my dad. He’s as by the book as they come. I had a dream once that he suddenly started smoking. That is so unlike him, it traumatized me for days.
I see those
at athletic events at school, although I don’t try to figure out exactly what it is.

If we can get all our losses against them
exorcised in spring, I’m all for it. Not that I won’t be annoyed, since I will. But the sacrifice will work better that way.
Blast and botheration.
And I SAY to YOU
you will see FIRE, and you will see BRIMSTONE, and the RAGE OF THE LAWD gonna come down ON YOU…
Blast and botheration.
Can I hear an Amen?
I live and die with the Colorado Rockies and the Avs/Nuggets aren't that far behind....

wow
an overflow thread this full? You all really are talkative, aren’t you! This is going to be a very exciting spring training now that I’ve found PurpleRow.
Welcome to the Row!
We have waited all winter for this day and, therefore, we were talkative. I cannot wait for the actual season to start.

This is indeed a fun place.
Even I visit here often. As the resident Dbacks fan, my job is to pretty much gloat and annoy the PRers as much as possible.

Some of your opinions are acceptable.
They tend to be the funny ones. Others are just annoying, as you said.

I appreciate y'all's tolerance.
Which is the only reason Russ’ hovering finger hasn’t yet clicked on the “ban” button.
