The Good Things of Baseball

It's from TwinkieTown and #1 on the list is about the Cubs, but somehow I still enjoyed it.

1. The Cubs still play in the afternoons. Other teams do too, on Sundays and on Wednesdays or Thursdays when they want to get out of town and get on a plane to the next city, but the Cubs still do it pretty regularly. And in the afternoons, maybe you have a little TV in the office that the boss let you hook up a while ago, or maybe you have a subscription that lets you watch the game on your computer. You turn on the game and there's Wrigley, same as it was when you were a kid and you were home sick from school. Rich folks in the stands, drunk college kids putting the make on each other in the bleachers. The Cubs are losing; the Cubs are always losing.

is in full blown creep mode in that thread. Sheesh, he has got to be the dumbest piece of shit in America.

Do we really want to consider North Dakota part of America?

I'll vouch for North Dakota.

Best strip club experience of my life.

When the stripper has to stop dancing to change the skipping track, it can properly be described as epic.

Though Guam is a close second.

your idea of 'best time at a strip club' and mine vary greatly.

hmm i had a pretty wild time at cheetahs in vegas.

surprisingly the best time ever may have been down by ISU at a place called Kappa Cabana. that was a really good time.

ha...ive only been there once, for a bachelor party

it was far better than i expected, but my expectations of clubs are never very high to begin with. i was surprised with the $10 entry free that included all you can eat pizza!?!

skybox or jimmy's are in contention for my best strip club experience

my buddy worked at st. james so we went to jimmy’s for lunch.
he left for work and was going to call us when he got off.
we were still there! so that was fun.
that was back when I could tolerate endless pitchers of draft swill. I think they were $5 each.
one of the girls recognized me from high school so she bought quite a few.
told me she was preggo during a lap dance. lol

sky box probably takes the cake.
my buddy(same one who worked at st. james) got kicked in the head with a stiletto as the girl was swinging around the pole when we were up there shedding dollars. he thought the guy next to him punched him. we jumped up ready to go, since we were all looking at the other one on the double stage and didnt know what happened. free drinks and lap dances for the 3 of us the rest of the night. that was probably my favorite. he had a dime sized scab on his temple for weeks.

yah i always had fun at jimmys too.

i went to college at governors state for 2 years. me and 2 buddies spent a lottttt of time at jimmys. (probably more than at GSU).

it got to the point where the strippers would yell KENNNYYYYY when i’d walk in like Cheers.

i get nervous to go to jimmys now. i am almost guaranteeing that some of my former students work there. that would be weird.

congratulations to you guys.

what was the final straw?

being a creep

BTW
You all can thank Montanatwinsfan for forcing me to mention her due to his insult of Dick Bremer. I do realize that his tastes are different than mine, but calling Dick Bremer a cancer is an insult to him. We can say the same about Joe Buck as well, but at the end of the day they are both human beings and deserve respect.

I’m a proud fan of the Minnesota Twins and Dallas Cowboys!

This is going to be fruitless, but…
1) montanatwinsfan was not insulting Bremer. He was referring to the end of the article "… and cancer remains a total dick." Cancer is a dick, which is a nickname for Richard. But cancer is not Dick Bremer. No one else made that leap in logic.

2) You’ve been asked multiple times by multiple people, including twinsgirl197, to stop referencing her in posts that aren’t about her. So, no, you can’t "just use her as an example." Speaking of people who deserve respect, respect her wishes and just leave her alone.

Too many creepy comments

He kept on stalking a TT member who’s a teenage girl, even after multiple warnings. His obsessiveness with her was creeping everyone out.
