the wife gets an Ipad for Christmas, and I get ceiling fans. So we’ll have that ready to go at some point.

I guess I’m the only one that loves NYE. Me and my buddies usually go somewhere like DC or Toronto so it always hold a special place in my heart.

I always do something fun for New Year’s… but most times it just feels like any other weekend night. There are just more people and everyone looks a little bit better.

Does anyone remember what it is about playing CF that Crawford hates so much? I know this has been covered before but I can’t remember the details.

probably takes a lot out of his legs over time.

I’m going to wait for Fetch to show up and tell me what I should think about the deal.

He would tell you this and this.

This year I’m giving in and giving my drunk inlaws booze.

very, very good idea. a nice bottle of scotch for the pops-in-law and wine for the moms-in-law.

Truth. Halloween and New Years are for kids, both little and college aged. Once you hit 30, and especially if you have a kid, they’re just reminders of how much fun you’re not having.

I’ve got six years and 15 days until left to have fun then.

Yeah St.Bear, I’m 23 and I’ve said I got a good 4 or 5 years left untill the party is over.

I’m in the last month of 24 and I’m trying to just deny that their may be an end in sight.

If anyone asks me what I want for Christmas, and I feel like they don’t know me too well, I always just request something basic I could wear.

Was up at 4am this morning, saw Sesame Street was on one random channel (think it’s called “Sprout”)…number of the day: 9.

I have a 1-year old who insists upon waking up at about 4:30 and watching this channel. I would advise running in the opposite direction – once Sesame Street is over, you’re going to get a satanic Wiggles/Barney mashup

Drew’s got a stronger arm… no? Wouldn’t you rather Crawford chasing down the balls in left and Drew trying to take on baserunners from right?

There’s not a whole lot to chase down in left field at Fenway. Does anyone remember what it is about playing CF that Crawford hates so much? I know this has been covered before but I can’t remember the details.

Not much room to chase in left.. I like Drew’s arm to catch bouncers off the wall and fire it in to 2nd.

You guys are excellent deterrents for getting married.

to me, it has nothing to do with being married. my wife is the only person that gives me a good gift and she’s really the only person that I care to buy a good gift for. but it’s not that simple. we each have siblings and all of our siblings are now married. oh, and her sister has two kids. oh, and we each have parents and grandparents. it would be nice if Christmas was something to celebrate with family like Thanksgiving is – just show up, enjoy each other’s company, and depart. but no, we have 16 people besides each other to buy gifts for and 16 people besides each other who insist on getting us gifts that I know I’m confident I won’t like or use. the perfect gift any of them could give me is saving their money and not feeling guilty about not getting me a gift, but that’s not going to happen.

that shit never takes. But yeah, when you want it, you get it. You want to give me a present? Make a mortgage payment for me, or send me boy a savings bond. I can appreciate that shit. But don’t give me a T shirt with words on it, or try to pick a book I might like.
