A wager with Cyrus.

Well since the Yanks are playing a four game set with Cyru's Twins, I have proposed a wager.If the Twins take the series I will wear a Che T shirt to the Knights of Columbus and eat a tofu burger. It the Yanks win, Cyrus has to wear a Jeter T shirt and go to a John Wayne Film festival. I would ask him to eat a hot dog but I don't want to go over the top.

Cyrus is a Twin's fan.

Cyrus Pinkerton has finally declared his baseball allegiance and it is to the Minnesota Twins. A great franchise and the first to recognize that Billy Martin would be a great manager. It's a shame that most of their talent walks in free agency as soon as they get a chance since the super rich owners won't put any money back into the franchise.

Although I must admit that the Minnesota Twins will always be what was in Mary Richards tight sweater dress in episode 86 of the Mary Tyler Moore show when Mary finally started to put on some weight and look like a normal woman. Those were some twins let me tell you!

Yowza.

When blogging becomes boring.

Well the blogging and commenting has begun to become a bit of a drag. I need a long comment section to riff off of to make any kind of comic headway. Lately Althouse has been very boring with fewer posts up since the professor seems to be concerntrating on her new blog which revists various days back in history.

The only fun to be had is the budding romance between Victoria and ricpic.

What if you had a party and nobody came?

Well the Althouse meet-up came and went last Tuesday at the Wine Bar on Henry St.
It was somewhat sparsely attended but I think that is understandable as it was
on a school night. The people who came seemed to have fun, although the joint was way too yuppified for me. It would have been fun to meet more of the commenters.
Perhaps, next time.

Maxine returns, like MacArthur just with the corn cob in a diiferant place.

Hey the day of the meet-up on Althouse, Maxine mysterioulsy reappears on the site. Hmmmmmm. Will she show up? Was she at the last one? Enguiring minds want to know.

What will the meet up be like?

Well the time for the scheduled meet up draws nigh and I wonder how it will go. I have to cut out early because I have to close the store tonight. So I hope the fireworks (if any) will be over quickly. Let's hide and watch.

Althouse meetup?

Well it looks like we have a farewell Althouse meetup for next week. Farewell to Brooklyn that is. I wonder who will show up. We had about fifteen people more or less last time so it should be interesting. Although it is in the middle of the week so it might be more sparsely attended. I will be happy to give a full report.

Did we figure out who Maxine really is?

I have been enjoying the blog Sire Says which is a great blog by Zachary Paul Sire who also posts on Althouse. I must say his style seemed very famialar. Then who shows up in his comments but Maxine Weiss. Also from Long Beach. When I commented on this, Zach said Maxine is an old friend. But the two styles are remarkably similar. Now the speculation is that Maxine is a composite of college kids from California. Could Zach have been one of them who has decided to set up his own blog. It definately seems possible. I need the intrepid dective Inspektor Friederich to check it out.

But read the kid's blog, it's very good.
