*Hums "Sweet Caroline" while reading previous post*

But at least we've created our own identity around here. We won't do the same thing almost every other stadium or arena is doing. I'll take Sweet Caroline after the 7th inning over something you hear everywhere else.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I'm still singing the Beer Barrel Polka, so I have no idea what this newfangled music you guys are talking about is. Also, Sweet Caroline is strictly a white-person wedding song.

But almost every other stadium plays Sweet Caroline at some point. And it's not because the Red Sox did it first. It's because it's an easy song to sing along to that everyone knows. Been going on forever.

I, for one, think Sweet Caroline sung by crowds at sporting events and especially in bars or at weddings is much more annoying than Seven Nation Army. If Neil wanted "SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD" to be in the song, he would have wrote the lyrics himself.

Come on, not all his songs are bad.

No. He's a fine song-writer, but I never jived with his vocals.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Neil Diamond is okay with me just because he sings the 2nd creepiest song ever:

which just edged out this:

You need to listen to Nick Cave's Stagger Lee.

Not creepy perse, but the final verse is kind of ****ed up.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Incoming long post:

Skyrim
Dragon Age: Origins
L.A. Noire
Assasins Creed 2
Deus EX
Batman: Arkham City

I've played some of every one of those and I've even beat L.A. Noire on the PS3.

I'm playing through Hitman: Absolution now. I refuse to pick up another game besides Battlefield, before It's beat. I'm going to start working though this backlog, with the exception of maybe Skyrim and Dragon Age. Those games are just too long and as I get older I don't have the time.

20 hours into Dragon Age and I have barely scratched the surface. It's a really good RPG. I also liked what I played in 15 hours of Skyrim, but man I just don't have the time for either of them.

I could knock out some games, but most gaming nights I play at least a few hours of Battlefield, which takes up all of my time.

I just walked in at work and every was clapping sarcastically and yelling "Yeah, GO LAKERS!"... lol. They know me all too well. I'm now on a "Lakers are the best team in the West!" rant. I'm not sure if they know I'm not being serious at all.

I've been sitting at my desk for a minute catching up on OS and a guy walks up to the door and hands me a card that says "Hi, I'm a deaf person taking donations to help fun our local schools. A $1.00 donation would be greatly appreciated". I just looked at him for a second and then gestured that I don't have anything. I really don't have any cash on me, but it was weird. He proceeded to walk around the dealership to each desk and then went out the door on the opposite side of the building and back towards the highway to continue to walk.

Response from guy named Dustin:

Dear Guys,<o></o>

<o></o>

I do appreciate being includedin this email, but I have moved on. I am part of the Columbus team andthey are my family now. Chase, I will miss your FB/Twitter posts onrandomness and your general negative outlook on all things life. Drew,though no one can replace what we had, I’ve found 5 people that can make up forthe hole in my heart that your curly headed quirkiness used to fill. Bothof you were a vital part of the chemistry at Parkway, but it’s time for me tomove on(or David told me I need to). Things are different now. Ipart my hair and drive a Volvo now. I’m getting married soon and have 2labradors. Don’t look back, don’t ever look back gentlemen. <o></o>


**** like this is why people from other parts of the country thing we're weird whent hey visit the dealership. They don't understand sarcasm at all.

edit: Man posts from outlook look funny on here. It groups some words and letters funny.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Yeah the problem with my backlog of games is when I do have at least an hour of free time or so I just choose to play a sports game, internet, or watch TV.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I stand by Seven Nation Army should no longer be played at sporting events. Don't care what anyone says. Song was cool 10 years ago. Now it's played out. Sports have ruined it.
