Okay, you've convinced me. . . she's had work done on her tits. The horror!

(And I still maintain she looks great, and if she's had work done, it's not terribly obvious to me. She's certainly not "flawless" or fake-looking.)

My sister and I went as the female "sexy" ambiguously gay duo one year. We were a hit. I should dig out that costume again. I was Ace. She was Gary.

I think the costume is okay, but that kid is adorable. Even *I* want to pick it up and snuggle it.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with the slipperiness of the floors, but I could be wrong.

Wonk Princess does. Her rates are probably quite reasonable relative to NYC, but the transportation reimbursement might eat up the savings.

But the romantic and intimate aspects of both relationships made up for it.

I bet fucking you is like being a Plaintiff losing a SJ motion- you do all the prep work then you get told it's over with before you get a chance to get going.

I mean, I understand wanting to give your team every advantage that comes with the home field, but would that have cheapened it for you at all had the Astros won because the roof was closed -- (by either a loss of a ball against the roof/lights, or an error by the other team due to the amplified crowd noise, or any other possible unique-to-a dome reasons?) Or am I all wet, and a win is a win is a win?

Why is this home field advantage any different than any other? Hell, what about the fucking hill and pole in centerfield (dumbest thing I've ever seen) -- how's that for home field advantage?

But I don't think any of that is any different than playing games at, say, Fenway or Minnesota's Dome. That's the beauty of baseball. Different fields, different dimensions. Same game. Boston can put together a team to try to take advantage of the Green Monster. The Yankees can try to load up on lefty pitchers and hitters because of the short porch in left. Grow the grass long if you have team speed, keep it short if you don't. Etc. I don't think many people would think it cheap if Houston had won because they cashed in on the advantages of their home field.

Hank - I am concerned. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it seems you've been wondering an awful lot what it's like to fuck sebastian. (Hey - who hasn't wondered? But the rest of us keep it to ourselves!) I think you may need a vacation.

I think it's the difference between short-run and long-run changes. You can build a team to suit a park, but the park's not changing from game to game. You can't water down the basepaths only for those games with speedy teams (didn't a team nearly forfeit a game for doing this sometime in the 90s?). Because they can close/open the roof at will, it seems more unfair than the normally accepted differences. (grass is a close call, i admit).

BTW, from what I read the weather would have suggested an open roof.

You know, I actually anticipated this argument, and I get your point, but I think it's different. The fact that Houston can change between an open-air configuration and a dome, for whatever actual or perceived advantages that may give them, is a bit different from the Green Monster or the short porch in Yankee Stadium. It would be more akin to changing the configuration of an outfield wall prior to a series (like moving it out if you knew you had a speedier team and the other team was more home-run hitters).

I realize that isn't a perfect analogy by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it's a little different than your examples, which is why I asked the question in the first place. The only other place I can think of where this issue would come up is Sky Dome or whatever the fuck they're calling it now, and as I recall, nobody made the closing of the roof an issue there because it was much more likely that the weather would be cold/inclement in October.

I don't know -- it just seemed like kind of a pussy thing to make issue of, and I wonder if it would have been made an issue if the Astros weren't behind.

In that post he was wondering about fucking Wonk. Or maybe I read too fast.
