hump day

for lack of anything substantial to talk about, i'd like to share a few fun things:

1. while watching the cardinals lose AGAIN last night at great american ballpark in cincinnati, somewhere around the bottom of the eighth inning one of the reds hit a foul ball and broke his bat. the top part of the bat flew towards the stands on the first base side, but ended up hitting the wall in front of the stands instead. naturally, the few fans that were there (are there baseball fans in cincinnati? because they couldn't even fill 1/4 of that stadium last night) jumped out of their seats to run down and grab the bat. a kid in a cards jersey reached over, grabbed the bat and held it over his head like a trophy and ran back up to his seat. not 5 minutes later, a security guy from the ball park comes up to the kid and his dad and escorts them out of the stadium. you could almost hear the dad saying, "are you kidding? there are only 1,000 people left in this park, our team is losing 7-2...you don't even need to ask us to leave."

2. this is hysterical. i can't believe anyone would put in this amount of work for a prank, but it's awesome. the best part is they interviewed the guy who planned it, and he said that you can actually hear "streeter" say to his girlfriend, "i don't wanna f*cking marry you!" enjoy.



3. one last quasi-funny story. i had this conference for work last week, so all of the vendors who sell us product were invited in to meet the company. you never think about the men in the world who make a living selling women's underwire camis or bamboo weave sheet sets, but they exist. so one older gentleman is sitting and a small group session next to me and leans over to the woman sitting next to him and says, "do you have the time?" she grabs her cell phone to tell him what time it was, and before she can even respond, he says, "haha...just a little joke, i'm wearing two watches!" he pulled his shirt sleeve up to show that he was, in fact, wearing two watches. it was such a terrible joke i laughed out loud.
