My word. I can't tell if Michael Wacha or Jesus Christ is making his debut on Thursday. They're building this kid up to the point he's going to have to pitch a perfect game to make people happy.

Hrabosky kept repeating that line and then promptly ignored it in the same breath. 

 "I can't tell if Michael Wacha or Jesus Christ is making his debut on Thursday."

It's Wacha. Jesus made his debut a few years ago. He got off to a promising start, but he hung around too long.

D'ya guys remember the restaurant a year or so back that got nailed for serving roadkill?  They were immigrants and their response was, "we didn't know it was illegal."  I posted that to a Kentucky based friend (actually used to own a restaurant on the U-City Loop, many of you know it) and he confirmed it.  they have a special word for it and it is common in KY.  Say, d'ya suppose that's where the jelly gets its name?

Saleem's???

Raggot???

 
Poor Raggot, alas, was a gerbil - which of course my MIL pronounces "Girr-bill,"with the G sound insted of the J. When my wife corrected her, her response was "Well, I don't like animals anyway."
First of all, whose life is so joyless they don't like animals, and secondly, who lives for 70 years without ever hearing the word gerbil pronounced correctly?

Like anyone in Kentucky can tell the difference between squirrel and gerbil.

There's also a special offer on a tour of all the illegal distilleries in the state.

Soundslike fun if you drop the assfucking thing.

If you drop the ass-fucking component, it's just getting shit-faced. You can do that in your den.

There was the little bistro/market whose name is escaping me that was just west of Saleem's.  Think the owner's name was Jay.  Then there was the Ackert Park wall, Fitz's, Dairy Queen, the laundramat and then you hit Market in the Loop.

I think it's changed quite a bit in recent years, and I think there may be a place called the Melting Pot that's settled in there.

Am I in the right block, or do I need to go further west?

So you're trying to zero in on a place in St. Louis that serves raccoon parmesan with treadmarks, yet you give me shit for the availability in New England of brown bread in a can?

Don't know nor do I want to know what the hell that is.

And I'd really like to find a way to get it off of my screen.

Do you eat dick?

Well, only if it's spotted dick.  I don't eat ordinary dick.  It's gotta be spotted for me.
