Below is, to the best of my recollection, a bit of conversation that took place between the SO and myself while watching the Toronto/Tampa Bay game earlier this evening.
Be honest; I'd really like to know. Is it:

A. The stupidest conversation ever to take place concerning the Toronto Blue Jays
B. The stupidest conversation about baseball
C. The stupidest conversation about sports in general, or
D. The stupidest conversation, period?

I came across this while flipping through the channels earlier today. It deals with the vital and timely question, "What does mayonnaise have to do with homosexuals?"

I attended a small, outdoor Midsummer Day party this afternoon, which leads me to suspect, yet again, that I'm running with the wrong crowd. It was washed out by a sudden, severe rainstorm, so I get to come home and watch the Blue Jays, rather than take the chance of spontaneous, naked dancing cropping up as the evening wore on.

The Summer Solstice, according to some, is celebrated as the day of the marriage of the sun and the earth. This caused a huge controversy at the time, since conservative elements believed that marriage should only take place between a planet and a planet, or between a star and a star. None of this mixing things up!  It all worked out, though, and the couple remains on good terms to this day. Except for the occasional spat, which is when you get violent storms like today's

Wishing you all a very happy Summer Solstice.

Every time I click on 'Random Journal,' I get one written in Cyrillic. About 12 times in a row now. Any good conspiracy theories to explain why that is? I'll accept ones involving aliens.

A good day to fathers of every type and description.

My vacuum cleaner clogged again. I want a Dyson.

One man's effort to do good through the public school library system. Not pretty.

Enjoying this news item:

This is a list of little-read books -- books that people tend to buy and never read.
Instructions: Bold the ones you've read; italicize the ones you read for school; underline the ones you started but didn't finish, or are planning to read when you get the chance.

The instructions given to me were:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences in your own journal.
5. Tag five people.

Because I know everyone's been wondering.

I am the sonnet, never quickly thrilled; Not prone to overstated gushing praise Nor yet to seething rants and anger, filled With overstretched opinions to rephrase; But on the other hand, not fond of fools, And thus, not fond of people, on the whole; And holding to the sound and useful rules, Not those that seek unjustified control. I'm balanced, measured, sensible (at least, I think I am, and usually I'm right); And when more ostentatious types have ceased, I'm still around, and doing, still, alright. In short, I'm calm and rational and stable - Or, well, I am, as much as I am able. What Poetry Form Are You?

I appreciated the sportscasters taking time out from a recent Toronto/Tampa Bay game to display the following comparative chart on the screen. Evan Longoria of the Devil Rays is enjoying the attention, I'm sure.

I heard that Charlton Heston died yesterday, and the first thing I thought was, "Does this mean we can finally pry that gun out of his cold, dead hands?"
