Hi kids!
Welcome to the Uncle Bobo show!
Are you ready to sing?
Come on, let's go!
Billy and his family went on a holiday
They went down to Florida to laugh and dance and play
Bill went in for a swim, he didn't see the harm
But when he came back out again, he was short an arm
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Billy and his father went out to play some catch
But Billy missed the pass because his arm was unattached
The ball flew past his shoulder and it rolled into the swamp
When he went wading after it his leg became a stump
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Billy and his father joined a three-legged race
They were tearing up the field, no one could keep the pace
But Billy tripped and did a flip and landed in the muck
He was running out of limbs and also out of luck
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Billy was all dirty, he really had to wash
But he couldn't use a towel 'cause his limbs had been gnawed off
He went into the water to get all clean and bright
But when his bath was finished he was only half his height
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Billy's father rolled his wheelchair up upon a hill
He wanted to put Bill where he would not get killed
But he left him on a slope, and into the swamp he rolled
They dragged out his head but there was nothing left below
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp

okay, here's the thing

if you’re going to post this, and I have no beef with that, can you at least put a title on it so it’s collapsable? Stuff like this showing up would get me fired post-haste.

by Matthew on May 14, 2008 9:54 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

no worries, I just added it to AdBlock

it’s just something I’ve noticed more than once (from various people) so I figured it was worth mentioning.

Since this string has been deleted

You might want to post a reminder below

What?

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

maybe there should be a TOS reminder

stating that if you post NSFW pictures, make sure they are collapsible.

What the...

I had on tab open where it didnt exist and one open that did.

No one has. I just refreshed and its still here.

This day makes me all nostalgic

I used to care that I was missing day games by being at work.

I'm the kind of fan the M's covet

because I’ll still pay to go to games, like I’m doing Saturday night, but at this point I don’t feel the need to watch 9 innings of Mariner baseball every day all season long.

And it says something that I’d rather be working than watching the game. I’m not entirely sure what it says, but there we are.

Well, that changes everything then!

I’ll be quitting my job in the next 20 minutes and staking all of my future happiness on Silva and the M’s. What could possibly go wrong?

NOTHING

Don’t you have to give two weeks notice, though? I’m afraid you might miss a few of his starts in that time!

by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 9:34 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm a contractor

so I can walk out the door in about 5 min if I need to. And judging by Silva’s potential, I NEED TO.

This may be a record for a game thread – only two active participants.

kentroyals5 and Robert were here earlier

and I’m sure Jeff is just anxiously watching this thread and mocking us talking to each other

by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 9:53 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

but if he's mocking us to himself

who’s the sad one? At least we’re talking amongst ourselves. OH SNAP WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT SULLIVAN? HUH?

yup, bored.

Uh-oh

now he’s been called out. This could be awesome – Jeff gets called out AND Silva’s pitching? This could be the greatest day ever

by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 9:59 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm good at call outs

until someone responds, then I wilt like a 12 year old girl in a fight with her angry big brother.

Dude that's what Wii Fit is for

that and Wii Porn and Wii Boxing and Wii Streetfighting – to help you learn all these necessary life skills! Imagine the kids who are growing up now with Wiis – they’ll be amazing at EVERYTHING in ten years

My generation sucks

I grew up with Atari 2600, so all I’m good at is running around mazes eating dots and jumping over swamps with pixilated alligator heads in ‘em. Oh, and destroying asteroids.

I had E.T. and Indiana Jones for the Atari 2600.

Oh, and Joust.

Has there ever been a greater game than Pitfall?

The answer to that question is yes. Several. But it’s still a good memory.

by Matthew on May 14, 2008 10:11 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Pitfall ruled.

It was pretty much the only game I ever obsessed over.

I really liked Pitfall 2 much more than 1.

Space Invaders was really fun too.

by Jed MC on May 14, 2008 10:13 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah!

Pitfall was the first video game I ever beat.

I remember my mom got my brother Super Pitfall

for the NES for his birthday. Man, that was a shitty game.

k, thats not true..we have way worse chain emails that go around the office

It’s unbelievable what people have on their computers around here in the office.

I fucking hate you Mariners

Happy Carlos D-wait.

BTW, Squinty was on KJR this morning. Said they had to keep Cairo around because they have so many slow baserunners.

I guess Squinty and the front office haven’t quite done the slow baserunners=bad defense that can’t get to balls correlation yet.

Wouldn't he have to get on base for us to find out?

He's on his way

he got a hit the other day, he’ll be at first any minute now.

Thanks, I’m here all week, tip your servers well.

I had to adblock that image.

It could get me fired.

Are Silva and Padilla the greasiest pitchers in the MLB?

CJ Wilson is pretty greasy too, but not on the same scale as those two.
