DIVERSION
I was doing these readings for my remote sensing class when naturally, my mind got sidetracked.
I issued a challenge to myself...create a quick storyline involving as many Almost Live! elements as possible.
Here goes...
A man from Kent wearing a Stihl trucker hat was walking through a park on his way to his office temp job. He accidentally walked through and interrupted a croquet game and was chased down by Billy Quan, who malleted his head for the victory. After coming to, he crossed a street to get coffee but was plowed by a car traveling 10mph in the wrong lane; a car driven by a student of the Ballard Driving School. He stepped on a slug and was witness to a speedwalker and a cross-dressing speedwalker who appeared to be the same person. "They must be from Fremont," he thought. Suddenly the sounds of Bobby Tango singing the "Chariots of Fire" theme entered his head. Seeing as to how he'd had his head malleted and he'd been hit by a car, he saw no reason to go to his temp job today. He returned to Kent, and after being stopped by the Kent PD (public urination in highway ditch), he returned to his wife, who was dressed to kill, wearing beercan earrings, a skanky perm, high heels, and many applications of BLUE-blue eyeshadow. He also returned home to his daughter, who had just discovered her pet slug, Sluggy, had slithered away and was nowhere to be found.
I think this might be my weirdest post ever.
Am I led to believe that the Mariners think their bullpen is deep enough to warrant not bringing up a pitcher after Soriano was placed on the DL? They thought the bench didn't have enough bodies? The Bloomquist injury really hampers them that badly? I'm kind of perplexed.
