This picture reminds me of that pregnant pause you see in a Peanuts cartoon right before all the characters start dancing, and now that I’ve made that mental connection I can’t look at the picture without imagining them dancing.
Rich Miller, tired of his newly broken record of posts, decides to make a run at it again with a minimum of 500 Oswego Willy posts. Ron Sandack has never been so accomplished.
Sandack: Next I think we’ll ask that, as part of any FY16 budget deal, a resolution must be passed that allows anyone to where white pants or shoes after Labor Day. I think it’s something we can all agree on!
High Priestess T’Lar attempts to perform Fal-tor-pan on an unsuspecting Ferengi to abandon his efforts to swindle unwary customers into unfair deals and reunite him with his katra’s former self when he had not sold his soul to the Raunerites…
The Owl: C’mon, say it. C’mon Leader. Say it. “How many overrides failed?” C’mon…. that’s right… 5… 5 failed. It’s ok. You’ll be fine. See what I did there?…
The young Obiwan “I aint taking my hands out of my pocket no matter what” he said, as An’ya Kuro the Jedi master tried to bend his will. He knew if he kept his hands away from her he would be safe.
This picture was taken just before BFC applied the deadly Shaolin heart punch. Much to her dismay after administering the punch she came to the unfortunate realization that Sandack has no heart.
The Owl: I’m just saying, I trade YOU Jeff Samardzija, you give ME Arrieta, I throw in an infielder, you still could make the playoffs with that fantasy lineup. Think about it.
