Be careful what you wish for.

3. Not intended to be cryptic at all...
very literal, actually. I wished for a life that wasn't dull as dishwater, now I wouldn't mind a minute to catch my breath. I've wished for many, many things...gotten some of them and found that they really aren't all they're cracked up to be.

It's just life, is all.

(I've only been peripherally lurking tonight...the ad banner that breaks up the threads tends to distract me and I don't get much below that, what with work and all -- what have I missed?)

2. Yes, because God help you, you may have a "chuggo" inflicted upon you. I'm still not sure
what this "chuggo" thing is supposed to be, but I do know for sure that it's not funny, it's just stupid.

4. A 'chuggo'?
Should I be afraid? Makes me think of comic strips 'n' girls named Nancy 'n' stuff...

10. No, not "Sluggo." Something MUCH worse, and much lower-class. You're better off
not knowing. Trust me on this.

5. I'm guessing the sport of baseball is somehow involved in this

7. That was just the latest example of
wishful thinking gone bad. The thing about ending a streak, though, is it gives you the chance to start another one.

mlb.com has an article up on "Tinkers to Evers to Chance"...must be a slow day.

8. It's worse than slow
if they spelled it "Tinkers."

9. Heh...actually, they did.
On the mlb.com home page:

CUBS HEADLINES
• Fukudome out of Wednesday's lineup
• Cubs' Soriano hopes for quick return
• Poem immortalizes Tinkers, Evers, Chance

They got it right in the article itself, though.
