Open Yankee-hating, the-world-is-unfair, I-never-get-what-I-want-for-Christmas thread

Since we don't seem to be done with all of that yet, given the comment counts and server churning of the last couple threads ...

Poll
Why is it, you think, that you never do get what you want for Christmas?
Because I don't celebrate Christmas, you insensitive jerk

I don't know what you;re talking about. I *always* get what I want for Christmas. And the world is ok by me. I do hate the Yankees, though.

There isn't a suitable poll option for me

I’m not bad, just evil.

Neither world peace nor $10 million in unmarked bills will fit in my stocking.

Thanks for tomorrow 'cause I've had enough

Is this the "AN gifts" thread? or are you working on that one?

I usually wake up on the roof, sans pants.

But that’s just how my family celebrates the season.

Normally,

unless it’s my turn to sponge-bath Grandma.

Explain

Will non-Holliday be before the season, at the trading deadline or at the end of the season?

Now offering great deal...on a 2007 Chavy with no clutch. - Nico

How about this trade (not involving the A's)

To the Mariners: Swisher, Melky Cabrera, Kei Igawa
To the Yankees: Ichiro

Let's have our Piazza and eat the Cust too - SPWC

Makes no sense for the Mariners

Ichiro is practically free with all the media money he brings in.

You actually would WANT the Yankees to get better.

Why couldn’t it be some NL team’s spare parts?

you'll never compete with the other families until you get a new facility

GreenNGoldSooner, can't you trade your brother for three small children?

One of whom is reasonably likely to grow up to be better than your brother.

Actually, I’ve met your brother – it’s practically a sure thing.

For once

I would just like to enjoy the season. By the time I get to be with family and scarf down Mom’s tamales on the actual holiday, I am completely worn out.

I'm here to talk about the past.

Eating tires you out?

wow. i feel sorry for you.

btw, I NEVER get what I want for Christmas. EVER. for the same reason as Grover; I’m not bad, just evil.

Awww… Unicorn's optimistic. And a cheeseball. That’s cute. ~Whiteshoes40

by #14fan on Dec 24, 2008 1:03 PM PST up reply actions  

I guess I'm evil, too

Because I am kind of glad you capitalized the “g” in “grover”.

Not because I dislike grover. I just like how worked up he gets over it. But maybe the holiday spirit will keep him from tearing your sweet little head off.

oops.

I forgot about how i am NEVER EVER supposed to capitalize the g in grover. uh oh. {hides}

but… eh… sweet? didn’t I just finish explaining that I don’t get presents because I’m evil?

agreed

but then again, it’s the “your/you’re” to some…that’s grover’s thing.

"If you hit .440 with 20 bombs, you don't have to do s---. You don't have to bring a glove to practice, just hit and leave whenever you want. You can bring a 40 and smoke a cigarette and call me from the parking lot asking me what time the game is, and I'll tell you. You can even say 'F--- you, Steve!' Actually, don't say that, that wouldn't be very nice." -Steve Friend, Head Coach, Chabot College Gladiators Baseball

I thought I was bad.

Turns out I was just nationwide.

Seriously, though, you don’t get too badder than a failed academic sign maker. Oh, the tales!
