Okay, so I missed the funs in the ALCS thread.

1. Woonsocket, RI. I hire a lotta people from there. Seems like not a very nice place. I think I would prefer to visit Swoonrocket.

2. HR Lady Schmifty says NOOO PINCHING BUTTS IN THE WORKPLACE PLEASE. No harassment cases. I haven’t yet learned what you’re supposed to do with them. So for now, we just can’t have them.

3. YAY SUX LOSE YAAAAY. Normally, to offend the Sux-loving neighbors, I fire up “New York, New York” on my laptop and aim the speakers out the front windows. But that’s not exactly relevant this time. I will have to think of something else.

The great thing about the Rays beating the Sox

is that Tampa is the Yankees’ 2nd HQ (George Steinbrenner lives there).
