===========================
Howdy Michael!

->  -> 24th vs TB  Cal Ripken bobblehead giveaway - first 25000
-> 
->  HN> Knowing the popularity of Bobblehead nights (last night was 
bobblehead
->  HN> night  for me with almost a full house!) and compounding that with 
the
->  HN> popularity of  Mr Ripkin (who will most likely be at the game), I'd be
-> 
-> Carol and I went to a bobblehead night, and we gave the
-> things away to someone she knew who almost genuflected.
-> I don't see the point.
-> 
Nor do I but the fact remains they are popular, so popular in fact that 
often "collectors" will buy tickets and bring along neighborhood kids just so 
they can get more than one bobblehead. The kids get in and get to watch 
baseball and the grownup gets 1-6 bobbleheads (I guess they sell well on 
ebay perhaps).

->  -> 26th        MasterCard Thursday - get a Eutaw Street reserved
->  ->             ticket and Boog Powell BBQ sandwich for $15 when
->  ->             you pay with MC
-> 
-> I'd rather do this, which means in exchange for using MasterCard,
-> one essentially gets a BBQ sandwich for free - the reserved
-> tickets, which are like the bleachers at Fenway, are normally
-> $15 by themselves. Of course, it's a Thursday 1:30 game, so most
-> of the echo folks may not be here yet. The weekend is Yankees,
-> which means not only will it be difficult to get a block of seats,
-> the chance of violence at the park increases. Yankees and Red Sox
-> games, no matter where they are, tend to have more, er, emphatic
-> and enthusiastic fans than other games.
-> 
Yep that applies for here as well...and worse scenario of all is when we have 
BoSox and Yanks back to back like last year...then you get fans from both 
teams coming to the "other's" games just to rile them up and cause trouble! 

-> If anyone's around on Thursday afternoon and wants to go to a
-> Tampa Bay game, let's talk.
-> 
Or you could all come out here a week earlier and watch the O's play the M's!
-> =
-> 
->  HN> And I'm still forming my food tastes as well! (grin)
-> 
-> Mine have remained mostly static for quite a while now,
-> though as I get older I may get more squeamish, not being
-> so eager to impress people with my weirdness any more. That
-> being said, durian, octopus, snails, brains, and other foods
-> reputed to be gross are solidly part of my repertoire for
-> the reason that they taste good, not because they are weird.
-> 
I like octopus, snails, Brains and am open to learning about new foods. If they

taste good (to me) I'll add em...if not at least I tried them!
 
->  HN> Well the musica major was a nice enough kid he was by far too self
->  HN> absorbed  to ever be a serious companion, so they went to concerts 
and
->  HN> coffee houses  together....unless he forgot, or his frat brothers
->  HN> called. Which they did often which is what ended the relationship 
(grin)
-> 
-> Oh, well. If it wasn't to be, it wasn't to be. P.S. How do music
-> majors get into fraternities in the first place?
-> 
The fact that you've never heard of Macallister in athletic annals may give 
you a clue that the College is full of music majors and theater majors and 
when that's all you get to choose from that's what you end up with! (grin)

->  HN> I expect that the use of high fructose corn syrup may decline a bit
->  HN> now that  ethanol and bio-diesel are becoming so popular, the price 
of
->  HN> corn futures is  climbing and soon it will be cheaper to use something
->  HN> else....like maybe sugar! Revolutionary thought that eh?
-> 
-> Does that mean the next threat to world peace will be Cuba?
-> 
Shades of Che!!
chat with you soon
