My private eyes
Bill:
So if some talented free agent is wandering around high on skunk and convinced he's being followed, it may not be the THC talking. He may have a point.
Doug:
In the words of the sagacious Kurt Cobain,
"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't aftah you."
Bill:
It makes total sense for the Red Sox to exploit this capability. All the most powahful organizations have a secret, intelligence gathering branch.
Doug:
Yeah, but the Red Sox need a bettah name for it. Calling them "scouts" just isn't cutting it.
Doug:
I mean they need a name inspires fear, like "The Stasi" which in my mind is hands down the best name evah for an effective and repressive secret intelligence gathering unit.
Bill:
I dunno. Stasi is good and all, but being an old school Catholic taught by nuns sorta guy, I don't think any name evah is bettah than "The Inquisition."
Bill:
I mean just think about it...
Bill:
When some prospect is found in a hotel room with two teenag girls, a mirror full of coke, and a JAXA tweetbot he can exclaim –
"Jeez, I didn't expect the Red Sox Inquisition!"
Doug:
"Nobody expects..."
Bill:
So on and so forth...
Theo having a gorilla costume makes so much more sense now. "Carl, is somebody out in the bushes peeking through our window?"
"It's just a gorilla, sweetie. Go back to sleep."

To quote Mel Brooks
Hey, hey whaddaya say? Let's all go to the Auto de fé!!
The Inquisition, what a show.
The Inquisition, here we go.
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away!
So all you Muslims and you Jews
We got big news for all of yous:
You'd better change your point of views TODAY!
'Cause the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!"
derivatively,
lc

Actually, h.b. The Mrs. & I beat a hasty retreat from the damnable cold & snow to sunny Florida this week. Sounding just like my Grandpa, "Yeah, it's cold down here, too. I had to put on long pants for this evening's walk."
Temps in the low 80's all week; the golfing's great - my short game, not so much... Sadly, returning home tomorrow evening. :-(

It's beautiful here, Rob. Liquid sunshine.
Well, time for some liquid refreshments. Have a great weekend all. Hopefully we'll have something fun to yak about on Monday.

Just gearing up for the impending blizzard to hit the North Bay. We're expecting upwards of 0.3 inches of snow overnight. The whole area is stocking up on canned goods and batteries.
