A Vermont Yankee in King Epstein's Court
The Red Sox travel to the Bronx for an important 3 game series with the Yankees …
Doug:
Dude, check it. Remember that chick Ruthie I've been seeing off and on past coupla months?
Mike:
The one who's an editor at Houghton Mifflin?
Doug:
Exactly. Well get this. She rings me up last night saying she's got two tickets for tonight's game at the Stadium!
Mike:
Right fucking on! Now that's a mofo booty call? [Laughs]
Doug:
Hell yeah it is. We're taking the one fifteen Acela to the stinky city.
Mike:
Oh, for fuck's sake, you're taking Amtrak? Let's see, you'll probably get to Penn Station just in time for the 8th inning. [Laughs]
Doug:
No, shit. Amtrak blows. Never evah fucking on time. But Ruthie, you see, doesn't like to fly.
Mike:
No Mile High Club for you, sir. [Laughs] Hey, you know that prick Gary in accounts receivable is a Yankees fan?
Doug:
What the fuck? Isn't he from Vermont? White River Gangbang or some place just north of East Bumfuck? [Sighs] Christ, I don't trust any motherfuckers born in New England who don't root for the Sox let alone the douche bags who openly root for the Evil Ones.
Mike:
No, shit. And he's giving me all that typical Spankee crapola, "1918" and "Boston Massacre" blah blah blah.
Doug:
Didya go all Dick Cheney on his Vermont traitor ass? [Laughs]
Mike:
Yeah, yeah, big time. [Laughs] I'm all "Don't you have a Walmart to protest against or something? I thought you Green Mountain Boys supported the underdogs and such"
Doug:
[Snapping his fingers] You go boy. That'll teach his Vermont Yankee ass. [Laughs]
I'm actually going tonight...good corporate seats. My MFY-fan girlfriend can't go, nor can any of the Sox fans in my office...leaving me no option but to start asking random MFY-fans down here (southern CT). At least they have the excuse of geography...there is nothing more obnoxious then an MFY-fan from the heart of New England.
