<p>What, nobody’s posted yet about President Bartlett’s secret practice sessions in the halls of the white house prior to throwing the ball? That was hilarious.</p>
<p>One of my siblings got to throw out a first pitch at a major league game. Not a strike, but over the plate, no bounce. I was so proud!</p>
<p>
The point is those same people that complain every time a female candidate is criticized have no problem criticizing a male. You just can’t see it.</p>
<p>And how, exactly, did he behave that you’re complaining about? He threw a pitch. How the cameraman showed it is beyond his control.</p>
<p>I thought this post was supposed to be good-natured. :(</p>
<p>You bring up a very good point slitheytove and 2331clk. Politicians, whether real or TV characters, practice behind the scenes what they are not good at before they go out in public in front of millions to be interviewed by Katy Couric. Oops-- I mean to throw a baseball…</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>Look, we’re all stuck with the girleyman and his wimpy toss and feminen pants and limp wristed solute to terrorist and curtseying to Muslim heads of state verses true honorable royal dignitaries–so, live wid it!</p>
<p>If I would have boned up on my spelling the way Bar-ak Hussein Oblama should have for the ESPN cameras, then we all would be in a kinder and gentler state.</p>
<p>But at least he can spell, dplane :D</p>
<p>JK…</p>
<p>Back to baseball. I respect anyone-- male or female, who can get the ball close to the plate. Throwing the ball 60 feet 6 inches is tough.</p>
<p>Okay, you’ve caught me in an indiscretion (I had to Google check this word!), but I did “not have s%x with that woman!”</p>
<p>Nor did I inhale!</p>
<p>jym(bob)-Yes, 60’ 6" is tough. Perhaps he should have worn his skirt.</p>
<p>You mean you googled to check the spelling of the word? ;)</p>
<p>I hereby pronounce thee as my board-certified, credentialed–and baptized–English instructor. Congradulations fine sir.</p>
<p>P.S.- leave me alone about “congradulations” buddy boy. I had to do a preemptive strike cuz i know you, dude.</p>
<p>Uhhh… you obviously don’t know me, dude, 'cause until I am knighted by Her Majesty or choose to change genders, I am not a “sir” and am not your “buddy boy”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>HRH now refers to Knights as ‘buddy boys’? Wowzers, I have a sister in the UK and she never told me! I am Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo behind the times! :/</p>
<p>Sorry jym(mi), tho’t you were sideways.</p>
<p>MBAGRAD-
I was combining two terms that dplane referred to me (“sir” and “buddy boy”) and they got blended in my response (I was on the phone when I was typing and obviously can’t multi-task), but I realized it was confusing so edited it. I think you posted in between there, before my edited post reposted. Sorry to confuse…</p>
<p>BTW, “dplane” is a cute s/n… If I’d mentioned that before, he probably would have realized I wasn’t a “dude”</p>
<p>Also-- as a follow-up from a different thread-- we had a nice time out for our 25th anniversary.</p>
<p>hey it’s Friday, jym626, just trying to find some fun. We were almost being too serious there. ;></p>
<p>No prob, MBAgrad–</p>
<p>And we seem to keep cross posting. Us old geezers have funny ways of amusing ourselves, don’t we…</p>
