Blowin' in the Wind

Our work picnic is this Saturday, and it will be happening before/during/at a Royals game. In theory, what a great idea. Baseball, America's pastime. The thing about Kansas City sports is...They suck. I am a diehard Chiefs fan, as many of you already know, but...they suck. And will especially so this year, I'm afraid. I believe that the people who support Kansas City sports are the same people who support Kansas City's liquor economy.

Let's see...We have the Chiefs - We played Super Bowl I & Super Bowl IV, and won Super Bowl IV...since then, nothing. That was 1970.
Then there's the Royals, proud winners of the 1985 World Series...since then, nothing.
The T-Bones, our minor league baseball team for 5 years now - best thing they have done is lose in the semi-finals. Although to be fair to them, their drinks are reasonably priced thus making their games worth attending. Plus they had a pretty hilarious promotion when Michael Vick was sent to Leavenworth.
We used to have the Blades - winners of the Turner Cup finals in...When was it? '92, I think...Then in 2001, they ceased to exist.
The Wizards! Hey, they won the MLS Cup in 2000! And the US Open Cup in '04!
So we have exactly one team who has done anything in this decade, and it's soccer. Nobody even watches soccer.

Be that as it may, I expect this game to be relatively fun. Food & giveaways from 4-6, gametime at 6:10. RocMan is bringing "3 hot chicks", and together the 4 of them are going to paint their faces like KISS. I am not sure if it is just a face thing, or full-on KISS garb, but I look forward to finding out. I think. My going, however, is completely dependent on Rasta Man going and that is, at best, up in the air. Cross your fingers! This could be a potentially big night for me! ;)

On an unrelated note, last week I was time studying someone in the ship alone mod, and as I walked by one of his peers, he turned to me and said "You smell like raisins", only he said in this tone of voice like he was paying me the greatest compliment... I respond with "Uhh...ok. I don't even like raisins...", and he says "I think dey smell gooooood." What the hell?!
