But life is just a party (and parties weren't meant 2 last)
Mike:
I know it's only June 12th and all and probably meaningless and most likely fleeting but, damn, I can't help but piss myself ovah it all.
Mike:
3 consecutive sweeps of the Yankees!? 8 and oh on the season!? Beating the Yanks in every way imaginable!?
Doug:
Absolutely. And who says you shouldn't drink heavily from the grail of meaningless and fleeting?
Doug:
I mean it's like being a strangah at a pahty and having the hottest chick there hit on you out of the blue.
Mike:
Seriously. This 8-0 run is like that but bettah — It's like getting hit on by the H-O-T-T chick and on the way back to her place she sheepishly confesses that she's a nympho.
Doug:
Evan bettah, you get back to her place and your making out and then her roommate comes in and the roommate is not only equally hawt-a-licious but is wearing nothing but a t-shirt emblazoned with the logo of your fave Red Sox blog.
Mike:
And then the two chicks ask if you get high and pass over a stash of B.C. skunk, all buds.
Doug:
And while your blazing up a forest the two nymphs staht to engage is some heavy girl on girl action while you watch mouth agape.
Mike:
And then there's a knock on the door and the roommate says, "Oh, can you get that? It' the pizza I ordered. Threesomes always make me wicked hungry," while giving you a salacious wink.
Doug:
So you to the door and open it and...
Mike:
It's not the pizza guy but Michael Felgah and he says, "Hey, Kid, what's going on out on the interwebs?"
Doug:
And you close the door and think, "Damn, this is some mofo Bob Mahley shit," as you head back to the girls to show them the original red bull.
Mike:
Exactly. Just. Like. That.
Mike:
Go Red Sox!
Nola - I was laughing out loud here in my little consultant cubbie over your post. I had people prairie-dogging over at me wondering what was so funny. What else could I possibly say but, "Um, you wouldn't understand..."
And Kaz's "Tek thighs, Lowell eyes, Natalie lies." needs consideration in the T-shirt mix.
Posted by: Rob in CT | 2009.06.12 at 12:36 PM
Leave off the "Natalie lies" and I'll buy it, because seriously, I was NOT lying when I wrote that final comment about the "menu." I swear. :)
Posted by: Natalie | 2009.06.12 at 12:39 PM
Epic, brilliant, money...this is some top of Everest stuff today.
Nola and Nat you have truly raised the bar. HB must've been a writer on some of Bob's older movies.
btw - Why does Doug live in a submarine? Guess it keeps the purple Humboldt skunk trapped a little longer.

Wow. This may be the best strip/comments combo ever.
I am nonplussed.
Posted by: vermonter | 2009.06.12 at 01:27 PM
Back from the dry cleaner.
Unlike yesterday, today's post and thread isn't creepy but lovable, it's, uh, stimulating reading.
I definitely don't need to have my pants fluffed.
Posted by: Bob | 2009.06.12 at 01:28 PM
The strip and comments today are fantastic...Well done h.b. and everyone...Nola your BB version was lol funny!
Posted by: vancouversoxfan | 2009.06.12 at 01:51 PM
h.b., i've noticed that you, like the sox, are on a hot streak...
Posted by: granular_serene | 2009.06.12 at 01:52 PM
We take 1, 1, 1 'cause of Papi
And 2, 2, 2 for Baldelli
And 3, 3, 3 strikes from Papelbon
And 4, 4, 4 hits from Dustin
And 5, 5, 5 is where Lowell plays
And 6, 6, 6 average Runs Against
And 7, 7 for no Teixeira
And 8, 8...I forget what 8 was for!
And 9, 9, 9, for next series
And 10, 10, 10, 10...everything, everything, everything, everything!
I hope you know this will go down on your permanent season record!
Posted by: Kaz | 2009.06.12 at 02:13 PM
Kaz - you are either THE best multi-tasker...or THE most inefficient employee on the planet and yet somehow still employed. Either way I'm jealous.
Posted by: sonomasox | 2009.06.12 at 02:28 PM
SonomaSox, my secret: Maintain LOW expectations. Deliver HIGH...occasionally. ;)
Posted by: Kaz | 2009.06.12 at 02:30 PM
Dirt Dogs is the best Sox blog, HB? Have you been partaking in the kine bud yourself?
Posted by: da kine | 2009.06.12 at 02:33 PM
da kine,
I confess to having a soft spot for Dirt Dogs. And, of course, quite a soft spot for the hydro. So...

You think you're having a bad day?
I just walked into my closet to find a clean pair of pants and all I could find was a pair of David Carradines

the dreaded double post. too soon, I guess

Kaz - you have a future in consultancy. :-D
Posted by: Rob in CT | 2009.06.12 at 03:01 PM
hb - you've done it again!
and not too shabby yourself Nat...I guess it can only be a fantasy if that guy doesn't exist, eh?

L.C.-I hope there were no fishnets in there as well ;D

This post and the comments are awesome.
Posted by: Devine | 2009.06.12 at 03:30 PM
This has been one of the best Soxaholix days. I guess we all really start to jive when the Sox sweep the Yankees 3 consecutive times.
Posted by: h.b. | 2009.06.12 at 03:54 PM
And I like that one day we might see "Yastrzemski" on another Sox Jersey. Drafted Daniel Bard's brother, too.
Posted by: NolaSox | 2009.06.12 at 04:16 PM
Well done today, H.B. and the rest of you creepy people.
I'm about to go to beer cart, so have a great weekend all
Hopefully we'll have something fun to yak about on Monday.
Posted by: Bob | 2009.06.12 at 04:22 PM
Pizza nymphos are my favorite!!!
Posted by: Andy | 2009.06.12 at 04:25 PM
If it was a Red Seat t, it would have to be the 'Pigs do Fly'; if Kintees the 'Viva El Papi'. But I would settle on 'Go rent a sunset bitches'. Oh, and v. nice job Natalie. Yesterdays game was a hoot!
Posted by: soxdownunder | 2009.06.12 at 04:27 PM
i saw today strip being a bit different today.
1st panel. our hero sitting on the phone perhaps thinking "woot"
2nd panel.office intercom system bellowing out"marty, a mr callahan on line 1"
3rd panel.marty ,head on desk groaning.

Any of the readers with long memories of Soxaholix minutia want to take a pass on explaining why mikeya's strip idea is unlikely to appear?
Posted by: h.b. | 2009.06.12 at 05:03 PM
All right. I only made it as far as Natalie's comment and just had to come to the end and post. I FUCKING LOVE Soxaholix. That is all. Always late posting, but I did spit grape nuts and fresh nectarines on my monitor when Doug said "Damn this is some mofo Bob Marley shit." Thanks so much hb and EVERYBODY. I just fucking love it. Go sox. Montana loves you.
Posted by: Larry Here | 2009.06.12 at 06:40 PM
Isn't it time to retire the "that was so funny I spat coffee all over my keyboard"/"snarfed my drink up my nose" memes? They're about as fresh as a fish fillet that's been under the heat lamp for two days at a Mass Pike rest stop.

2Q+2Q
Posted by: Harwich Rich | 2009.06.13 at 12:38 AM
@Hudson - Yeah let's retire those memes. Then I can be the last one to have used it here. I'm gonna go wipe off my monitor now.
Posted by: Larry Here | 2009.06.13 at 12:54 AM
Hudson-
Who the fuck are you?
Posted by: buckner was framed | 2009.06.13 at 11:37 AM
excuse me, that was rude. What I meant to say is Go suck BigBri's mom's dick if you don't like the site and the attached deranged individuals who visit here
Posted by: buckner was framed | 2009.06.13 at 11:46 AM
NolaSox - in my nightmares, swap out Papelbon for CC.
Posted by: Billy Mahty | 2009.06.13 at 12:33 PM
Buck-That WAS BB's mom :D

//Any of the readers with long memories of Soxaholix minutia want to take a pass on explaining why mikeya's strip idea is unlikely to appear?//
Has it to do with Marty's trendy old 'phone that doesn't have an intercom??
Meanwhile, http://bioproj.sabr.org/bioproj.cfm?a=v&v=l&pid=13325&bid=997 "> Fred Snodgrass appeared at Yankee Stadium yesterday playing second base. It must have taken lc, who was at the Snodgrass game, back in time!
Posted by: soxdownunder | 2009.06.13 at 05:33 PM
Buck - at the end of this thread (one of the greatest redsox trips I've ever been on), I get to your comment "excuse me..." and fucking spit all over my monitor - it's Saturday, so it was beer this time. Still laughing. Hey Hudson, is spitting beer ok? "Go suck BigBri's mom's dick" Bwahahahahahahahahaha.
What an awesome 36 hours. The T shirt should just say "June 12"
Posted by: Jeff in NC | 2009.06.13 at 05:45 PM
lc - Yesterday you alluded to the notion that the Sox have had a harder schedule than the Yanks. You asked me to look at the records of the teams the Yanks have been playing -- I did.
Through yesterday, the weighted (current) average of Yankees opponents is .507. The weighted average of Red Sox opponents is .511.
I'm no statistician, but the difference looks irrelevant to me.
Posted by: Billy Mahty | 2009.06.13 at 07:51 PM
As a woman, I have to say I prefer h.b's version (subbing out, of course, the two women for two hot guys, and skipping the pot altogether. It's better when you're sober.).
Posted by: Ann | 2009.06.13 at 08:25 PM
This series against Philly has been a lot of fun to watch for some reason. I'd love a Red Sox/Phillies World Series at this rate.
Posted by: Kaz | 2009.06.14 at 12:03 AM
Looks like a plausible option, Kaz.
Posted by: Billy Mahty | 2009.06.14 at 02:00 AM
That was one of the better ones, HB.

Well since I would be the hot chick (cof cof) the shirt I would be wearing would have to be Call of the green monster
The only thing Natalie left off her perfect guy comment was. "How come I never see you at any games? My seats are just behind John by home plate." Even standing room season tickets would be cool.
