You know what was interesting? Manny fucking up again last night, costing the Dodgers a run that would have conceivably tied the game.

If he hadn’t admired his would-be home run that stayed in the park, he would have made it to third base instead of second, and then scored on the subsequent wild pitch.

Fuck Manny. I vacillate on my feelings towards the Dodgers and Ramirez, but for now: fuck Manny.

Receiving spankings.

I remember them quite clearly. I also remember that nothing short of that would make me behave on those occasions. They were rare, and they weren’t even necessarily painful (I remember it was always the anticipation of it that freaked me out more than the actual spanking), but they were effective.

I wouldn’t be opposed to giving them as a father, when necessary. Emphasis on necessary. I’m a softie at heart, so I dunno if I could ever actually go through with it though.

Yes! Yeah, I always hesitate before making a BASEketball joke.

I used to watch it pretty much daily for a year or two in college. I think it’s genius. But it’s definitely not for everyone.

Wow. And I thought I was well-educated when it came to obscure names.

She must be totally hot. I mean, you pretty much have to be to get a man to move past the name “Dorcas.” So congratulations.

Haha, indeed. She goes by her middle name.

She was named after her Grandmother Dorcas.

Not only is it a terrible name given modern connotations, it also sounds masculine.

It’s like naming a girl “Biff.”
