Chris: Ah, good deal. I was hoping someone would catch the Hennigan’s-beard connection.

A-Rod gay? I wore a suit to the Kentucky Derby, and I’m not gay. Oh, you said HR Derby. Yeah, he’s queer.

Sean: I double-crossed you, though. I kinda figured you knew what was up from the Hennigans reference since that came from Seinfeld and Elaine was a beard in another Seinfeld episode. I posted the dictionary definition becuase, as everyone knows, dictionary definitions are excellent for comedy purposes in their own right. And A-Rod is queer. Just thought I’d add that. Seriously, who wears a suit to the HR Derby?

Don’t feel bad, Dave. Apparently even Chris fell for it.

I guess I will have to speak in earnest for a moment, just to ease confusion. I got everything about Chris’s joke on the face of it. I thought I was probably missing some fact about A-Rod and his wife that would make the joke really funny. But it looked funny to me anyway. Sorta like a kid watching cartoons, laughing at all the wrong parts.

Tha’s all.

So what was the part you didn’t… okay I’m clearly in over my head here

Yeah, Dave. That was the part I got.

“Speaking of beards, how about A-Rod’s wife ditching him.”

You must be good, Chris. Even the jokes I don’t get are funny. Either that or I’m drunk. At work, no less. Hennigan’s, don’t you know.

I hope Dellucci plays tonight. He starts the game clean shaven, and by the 4th inning he looks like John Lennon circa 1969. It’s really quite amazing to watch. Speaking of beards, how about A-Rod’s wife ditching him.

Oh, so many ugly guys on the Indians! And rest assured, I will make sure you know who they are!

“oh dear lord, what has happened to this thread”

They go downhill fast without your calming influence, Dave. Say, any ugly guys on that Indians team?

At least it’s not a game thread, eh?

Neal’s just on fire with the puns today

Dave: I’m not quite sure. Though Neal’s comments about Uranus being an a-hole in the clubhouse nearly made me urinate involuntarily with laughter. That’s UIWL, for you text messagers.

I think we could definitely screw the Indians, however, they traded the Horse to the Brewers.
