I’m friends with John Smoltz!
Several years ago, I drove my son to Atlanta on the 4th of July and surprised him with tickets behind home plate. John Smoltz (the greatest closer) pulled it all together in the ninth.
America’s night. America’s game. America’s team.
So, imagine how excited I was to see that John Smoltz had a Facebook page! Okay, I’m not much for all the fan clubs and applications, but I’ll join this one! Did.
I was updating my Facebook page, when I got an instant message from John Smoltz with his picture, like the one you see here. “Hi”, it said. Then I got that feeling. You know, like the one you get when you answer the phone and realize your caller is an outsourced employee from India?
The clincher…the closer..yes, Smoltz wrapped it up…with …
…a homework question!
“Who are you?”, I wrote. He responded with, “My name is John Smoltz, but I’m not the baseball player.” More of the India Outsourcing feeling ensued.
Dang…shoulda called it in the air.

And I guess he mistook you for someone who could help with that that trig.
Uh oh. I’m going to pay for that one, aren’t I.

Ok, but why did he just randomly select you for HOmework help?
You should send him to his room…AFTER making him first write an essay on “Native American culture.”

CT, LindsAy has been sent to her room for making fun of our heritage.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:00 am
I need some proof of this heritage so I can get a piece of the casinos.

Chris, it’s better than “Muskrat Love”.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:39 am
True. I’m kind of a gangsta anyway.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Pimp.

I think we should talk about the ‘most annoying song’ we get stuck in our head. Today, I have had two:
‘Call 1800 Stanley Steamer. Stanley Steamer makes your life cleaner!’
‘What is love. Baby don’t hurt me’ (heads bobbing in my mind and all)
October 16th, 2008 at 10:34 am
I don’t know if this is the right number but it would something like this:
“Call 1-900-551-8900, Diesel Driving Academy!”
October 16th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Okay…I’m on it.
October 16th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Mel, didn’t Weigel “score” that commercial?
October 16th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Mel, it was 1-800-551-8900. And “Regulators” is a fantastic song to have stuck in your head!
October 17th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Well I was close! It was a great song!
