Sorry, I lost all respect for the Twins since the 1991 World Series, when Kent Hrbek pulled Ron Gant off of first base and got the call. Hrbek should have:
1) apologized
2) bought a vowel.

They should offer the kids a choice of GI Joe or John Kerry. See which one they pick!
To: Pikamax
To honor them and others, the Twins will admit current and former military personnel and their families at half price Monday, as part of what the Twins are calling Armed Services Appreciation Day.Hmmm... You reckon Mr. 'Veterans for Peace' will take them up on that discount offer?

Actually I did mean the state of Alabama, meaning if you are from a different part of the country and are stationed in another, it could be very foreign to you.
To: Docbarleypop
Heck, we'll make you feel at home in Alabama.

...remove the customary gun from his side, bringing him in accordance with the Metrodome's no-gun policy

How silly is that? Was there a fear that anyone would mistake the 2-inch gun for the genuine article?

If the Twins hang in there, I'll resolve to see more of their games in person this summer, despite my aversion to indoor baseball.

My email to Mr. Klinger: "Count this Twins fan among the number saluting your G.I. Joe promotion. I appreciate the sentiment, the support for our troops, and the half-price ticket offer to military personnel."
Thanks for providing the email address.

Well, let the crabasses stand along side and offer bobble head dolls of their hero Michael Moore. If the Moore doll is anatomically correct, they'll also have to give away tickets for half-price hernia surgery to any tyke who tries to lug His Immenseness home.

I made a phone call to the peaceniks.....at first the gal pretended she didn't know why I was calling and then admitted she knew it was about the Twins.
Told her that she's lucky we have a military or she'd be speaking German if she survived the nazi camps.
She said she couldn't talk to me because I was sounding hostile!!

LOL! You're a bad evil person.
Then I told her I was going to vote for Nader and some guy next to us went ballistic on a rant about how a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. I smiled and told him that I sure hope so.
I love it.
