Ode to Ken Giles (Part 2)
Kenny G reminisced back to his youth in good ol' ABQ
Successes were many and failures were few
The jerks in Houston, they're just turds
Those guys know I'm the real Heisenberg
The beleaguered reliever was then hastened to the pen
The fate of the Taco's game was in his hand
Ken Giles the star is hurling for Fresno
This is one f'ing game he just can't blow
Squatty quietly notices a child in the stands
Geez I sure hate the stench of fans.
The voice of the announcer echos away
this sure is a helluva place to play
The warmup went fine and he cracked the "C" mark
These punk minor kids are gonna see a shark
Then the call came in.... It's time for some heat
3K's coming, and they're back to their seat
But no ladies and gents. No 3 up.... 3 down
Squatty left the mound with a sneer and a frown.
What was a safe lead almost got bled
By a million dollar arm and a 5 cent head.

I know you do it in jest. I don't think putting oneself in the other guy's shoes once in a while is detrimental if perspective is what everyone seeks. Remember what Donnie Moore did

Remember what Donnie Moore did How does one put oneself in the shoes of a multimillionaire whose job is to play a game, and sucks at it so badly that he's transferred to a lower level position? |

I'll call off the dogs. I guess sometimes we forget these are people with feelings. Albeit I wonder how much Giles was thinking of AJ's feelings when he made his comment? AJ doesn't seem like the kind of guy anyone would get pissed at |

YI'll call off the dogs. I guess I guess I am the only one that doesn't see the Humor in the Poems if that is what they are. I really don't get them at all. Right over my head. Do I want him pitching for the Astros, a resounding NO but to get delighted in his failure which hurt the team and making fun is something I have been lacking in my social skills. Yes, I am glad he got sent down only because I know he will not come in a lose a 2/3 run lead. |

Please no .. I don't want to ruin anyone's fun. I'm still rooting for the kid that's all .. to find success is I guess why I posted that I guess I am the only one that doesn't see the Humor in the Poems if that is what they are.

My brand of irreverent humor apparently is not going over well with the masses.
I understand, and wlll stick to musings.

I'm used to the Violine Armed Frog. I'm the guy that never gets invited back to the parties. I have no Social Skills, I do not know how to really react in most situations.
I walk into a room and never remember to Say Good Morning or Hi to everyone. I start right away with what I need or I want this done. The other people have to remind me to say hi and be cordial before I get down to work-related stuff.

No not quite that bad. I just never learned how to be Social. I had typed a whole lot more but felt it was too much for an open forum so I cut it out.
In general, I don't like most people and would rather hang out with my dogs, cats, and the rest of the zoo I have at any given time.
Here are a couple things that aren't too over the top for the most in here.
I have a Name problem, for some reason, it takes me a very long time to remember most people names. Even people I work with. I can remember most people avatar quicker than I can their name.
In reality, I really don't understand the humor in the catfishes poem.
Here is another one involving the green alligator. He made a comment to a post and I actually thought it was funny and it fit. I choose the wrong word trying to tell him that. I probably should have said witty but for some reason witty didn't fit the moment. So now alligator thinks I really have it in for him. The 15k thread and the other one.
That ruined that.
How you guys decided to call me 15kt. It was a lame thread and I just happen to post at that moment, when everyone got up in Arms it became funny to me as the whole thread was lame trying to get to a number before the new season started. The reality of it is Who Am I to decide if a Thread is lame, JMO.
I don't trust people so I have to be careful about what I say about my past. No, I am not a criminal of any type. I will say by the grace of God and my Guardian Angel. I am not dead or

I have no Clue who Jake the Snake Robers is. In fact, if it was the late 60's thru the mid 90's I have no memory if it was on TV or Popular on Radio etc. well the fact is I don't watch any of the shows on TV that are supposed to be popular.
95% of TV is the dumbing down of the Viewers and training them to be Good Sheep.

(response in blue)In reality, I really don't understand the humor in the catfishes poem. Sorry, you didn't get the intent of what I wrote. People who make tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in their life for a special skill should be among the most appreciative of folks. When prima-donnas take that talent and squander it, I find it satisfying to lampoon those in the err of their ways. I fully understand that humor is in the ear of the beholder but I personally think the stuff was pretty timely.... OTOH, I thought the intent of your post (and is valid in after thought) was that the second one (poem) was getting into the territory of "mean spirited". That I can agree on, and I will turn down the heat accordingly.
In essence I dig satirical topical subject matter. And in the case of applying that to professional athletes, actors, and every other overpaid public figure? ... They got it coming. And I understand not everyone has the same tastes. How you guys decided to call me 15kt. It was a lame thread and I just happen to post at that moment, when everyone got up in Arms it became funny to me as the whole thread was lame trying to get to a number before the new season started. The reality of it is Who Am I to decide if a Thread is lame, JMO. First, you have to realize that there are many of us who waited over 50 years for that exact moment for the Astros to win a WS. How better to perpetuate that moment than keep the thread alive. Secondly, it human nature to be goal oriented. That is why we celebrate birthday, anniversaries, 300 wins, 3000 hits, etc. When Thomas set the goal after the win, we all thought and understood that when the 15,000th post would trigger a commemorative speech. But, when it turned out being a local weather report, it was at first disappointing, but then funny as hell. "Anti-climatic" events can generate great humor, even for long periods of time. Geraldo Riverra and Al Capone's vault is a good iconic example of this.
And don't let the 15KT monicker bother you. People like Eddie who complained about the ID only made it worse for him. Embrace it. Best wishes. |
