Get your booty on the floor tonight.

While I'm still upset that the Astros beat the Cardinals in the NLCS (gone are the days that I casually root for them when they're playing any team other than St. Louis, I am now forever sworn to hate them), I must admit that it's sort of cool that the World Series is taking place mere blocks away from my office. That said, there is absolutely no reason to blare "Pump Up the Jam" over any PA system when throwing a fan rally in the streets of downtown. My windows just aren't thick enough to block that out.

Go Sox.



Good Lord, did they have to follow that song with "I've Got the Power"?

I was a Cardinals fan nearly a decade before I even moved to Texas, and I'm still a Cardinals fan. I'm not a traitor, I'm stinkin' loyal.

I'm not sure who Drew's comment was directed towards, but yes, let's all move to Russia.

Ya know, Jarmo, Marshall is right about you needing a blog theme song. And I think it's pretty obvious what song you should pick.

Oh no, you can't remove it now.

Oh Married Man, I'm sorry about the NLCS. However, we [me and the 'Stros] feel that we couldn't possibly allow the Cardinals to go into the World Series again and get swept. (Keep in mind that I do know the current record for the series now, but a sweep will not happen). In the immortal words of me...can't we all just get along and hate the Cubs, Yankee's, and now BoSox. (Fever Pitch and relentless Red Sox hats/jackets from the tool squadron has pused me to the limits).

You've got to accept it before you can move on. Hurts, don't it?

I heard some passerby rando today remark, apropos of the World Series, "Can you say sweep?" to which his rando friend replied, "That's gotta hurt."

I honestly wish someone could retrace the etymology of these two particular idioms because, for my money, they are the two worst cluster of words a person can say. They reek of the highest degree of nerdiness.

Worst of all (and yet none too surprising) I heard them as consecutive statements.

Do people have the right to express themselves in this manner? Should we let the riff of society continue with their cockeyed and imbecilic rhetoric? I, for one, think not.

Interesting. I wonder, however, if it is the usage of the term "sweep" that bothers you, or the question "Can you say ______?" I'm a fan of the "sweep" term, so I will assume your beef lies in the question. I've gotta agree with you too. The next time I hear that phrase, I shall respond, "No, please instruct me on how to do so."

Also, the second phrase is the worst if it is preceded by an "Oooooooh" and the first syllable of gotta is heavily emphasized. As in, "Oooooooooh, that's GOTTa hurt!"

I'm only ok with that last phrase if the person speaking pronounces the word "hurt": "hoyt".

Yes, Jeremy. Very sorry I did not clarify. Of course it is any question stated in that wise, such as "Can you say 'awesome'?" or "Can you say 'deviled eggs'?"

I have nothing against the term "sweep." Indeed, it is the most apt term to describe its function.

My day is going to be so much better now that I've visited your blog and have heard your theme song. It's gonna be a great day. Thank you, Jeremy.
