Welcome Haren's Clone

Are you a somatic transfer clone?

Good to see another young'un here (don't worry, I'm not that much older than you). After you've been on AN for a year, we send you on an evangelical mission to convert non-believers. Would you like to be stationed in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, or Guatamala?

And don't worry,

we put all our missionaries in the Jehova's Witness Protection Program.

Lets see, a white shirt and green A's tie and

a copy of Moneyball to thump.

Why didn't I hear of this?

I'll take Boston. If I don't convert Sawx fans, I may go insane and kill one or 5,000. :-P

Heck,

if you can just convert Sawx fans to fossil feul, it'll be worth it.

We didn't think you were ready

young Grasshopper.

I have been proseletyzing in Boston for 10 months now. Nothing prepared me for the horrors I have seen. But yet, hope springs eternal.

In baseball, the expression is:

Spring hopes eternal. :--}

Unless you're...

...the Pirates, Devil Rays, Royals, Rockies, or Cincinatti. Then the only springing are your free agents.

Zing

Well, but spring does make hope eternal. Remember earlier this year when the D-Rays were actually AHEAD of the Yankees in the standings? Weren't they in 1st place for like one day?

Maybe

they should just hope for eternal spring, then.

You can

but would rather have the 19-8 June or the 20-3 July that is to come?

Sorry

I kinda got into that thread but hey welcome to AN! It's a really great site, and there are some really cool, interesting people here. Just be forewarned... it is habit-forming. I've only been here like a couple months, and I'm hooked. It's great to meet other teenage A's fans (I'm 18), so many of my friends are Giants fans. Ick. Well hey, have fun!

Your tellin me

One of my best friends is cole Kuiper, the son of Duane Kuiper. They always try and kick me out of there house.

welcome

welcome to AN. I hope that you will be able to understand the bipolar nature of the site is just an extention of how much we care about the A's and how much we feel the team's pain. I am of the 'optimist' bent myself but there are others who are of the 'realist' persuasion and there are times when the 2 segments clash. Don't worry, it is not personal and we are all A's fans here.

And I bet that you have some cool stories to tell about razzing hte Kuiper clan. I have two giants fan parents and one of my siblings is a giants fan. I often just enter the house when I visit by yelling '1989!!!' at the top of my lungs. That never gets old.

Welcome and enjoy.

What did you do to get the 'net back?

by Jennifer on Jul 5, 2005 12:41 PM PDT up reply actions

Well..

My mother realized she needed to pay the bills and check her email online. She also needed to sign up for her college courses online. And one of the courses she's taking is an online course. She didn't want to go to the library to do everything.

I guess washing the cars, babysitting non-stop and making dinner four nights in a row didn't hurt the cause either... ;)
