Root for the Rockies


And not just because the Jesus does. Root for them so we don't have to see any more YouTube videos of Jonathan Papelbon riverdancing to the Dropkick Murphys.



I used to love this song, mostly because of its use in The Departed. It's called "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" based on lyrics from a Woody Guthrie poem.

Now I kinda hate it.

Nobody fucks with the Jesus!





Note - Seriously. Do yourself a favor and watch that Big Lebowski clip. It's good for the soul. 8-year olds, Dude.

Maybe it's too early still but I'm confused (shut up...I'm not ALWAYS confused). You used to love the riverdance song that was in the departed and now you hate it because some dude dances to it? Or did I miss another song somewhere?
Yes. Spell it out for me ;o)

Kat - It's simple. I HATE THE FUCKING RED SOX!!!!!!!!! Okay?

Verdant Earl said...

Kat - to follow up. And if they were to win the World Series, there would be more dancing by Papelbon. Hope this helps.

Kat said...

So you hate river dancing and you hate the sox but put em together and you've got one massive hate on.
I think that's got it. ;o)

I'd relate but I know shit all about baseball.
You would too if the Jays were yer only hope...or lack there of...

Verdant Earl said...

Kat - Hey the jays were pretty good. In 92 and 93, that is.

SG - Get one! Then you and the Jesus can perform on Dancing With the Stars. How fun is that?

I actually saw several Jays games back in the old penant days... haven't been in a while. But that's okay - cuz now I'm a hockey fan. I just don't route for any team in particluar exactly... which might not make sense to you but it makes sense in a round about way to me..... I'm babbling. I want a purple jumpsuit too.
