Lets face it

We all got here while looking for Turk Wendall Pornography.

Lopez wants it away, and it's hit deep to left center, Andruw Jones on the run, this one has a chance... home run!!, Mike Piazza!, and the Mets lead 3 to 2!!

Turk Wendell did porno?

That’s something new.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!

Before every scene

He’d hop over the camera power cables, just to get comfortable. Oddly enough, when he finished, he’d usually just smoke a cigarette.

I thought he would brush his teeth or eat Twizzlers.

But I’m gonna assume he makes his sex partner for the occasion touch his condom before doing the business.

There is probably a Turk Wendell/Dennis Cook video somewhere on the internet.

Did not know that either

And come to think of it, that’s probably something I never want to see/hear ever again.

…do you tell people “I only read it for the Sabermetrics?”

Not this guy

I’m finishing cleaning my apartment and moving out tomorrow. In other words, I’ll be a bit pre-occupied.

I hate moving

one of my all time most hated activites.

Good luck!!!

Hope it’s to somplace nice….

by Chickendirt on Jul 29, 2009 8:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

Moving does, indeed, suck harder than most other things.

It’s to Albany, so I’m not sure it counts as “someplace nice.” Coming from Rochester, I consider it basically a lateral move.

On the other hand, track season started at Saratoga yesterday and I’m unemployed. So I got those things going for me, which is nice.

Who said anything about drinking?

Some drinking implied, I suppose.

Yeah, I thought it was implied

What better way to enjoy The Sport of Kings on a blue sky Sunday afternoon post time than by drinking hooch out of the plastic flask you taped to your business. I usually go to Belmont, so I’m not sure if the latter is par for the course upstate.

by Sokojoe on Jul 29, 2009 9:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Haha yeah I suppose a tipple or two is expected

Usually we’ll just drink up in the parking lot for a while and then suck it up and buy a couple drinks inside. That usually does the trick.

This is true

I always have that as solace.

"who can mets hire when they fire omar minaya"

Since the Mets’ front office is no longer returning his calls, Adam Rubin has turned to Google for career advice.

"fat cat"

inspired me to link to this beautiful phenomenon in case anyone wasn’t already aware.

Wikipedia (for the first time ever) doesn’t do it proper justice. It gives way too much attention to the Maxim article and such silliness. The fat cats and grease trucks deserve much more respect. You will quite possibly never experience anything like it anywhere else.

Jordan

was my truck for all four years. It was rare that my innards were up for the actual fat cat, though.

by pologroundling on Jul 30, 2009 9:48 AM EDT up reply actions  

NOM

I didn’t go to Rutgers, but I visited my sister there once and experienced the wonder of the grease trucks.

Introducing Buddy Alderson, Sandy's dog, and the newest member of Puppy Avenue!

Embiggen here.
Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.
