I drove home for lunch today and a big cement truck was following me. It was all new and shiny, painted in blue and red, and the spinning cement mixer part of it was painted like a baseball, with seems on it and a Twins logo. It looked pretty sweet because as the mixer part was spinning it looked like a giant rotating baseball was following me (or "tailing" me).
So I was driving down 169 being chased by a 60-mph tailing fastball. (60mph tailing fastball?! Was Jesse Crain driving? Hi-oooo!)
On Monday I went to the Twins game with my pal, Jeff. He said, "Sure is a perfect night for outdoor baseball!" Sigh. A little over 7 months away from Opening Day, 2010.
At the game there was a wedding proposal on the big screen. I've been to 9 Twins games this year, and have seen marriage proposals at 3 of them (All of them said "Yes", by the way). Is there a less creative way to propose than at a sporting event? If you're going to do it at the Dome, at least bribe the proper people to make sure your row is also the Hormel hot dog "Row of Fame", and get them to put the ring in her hot dog wrapper. Everyone at the game would sing the Hormal "Row of Fame" song, you'd be on the video board getting your hot dogs, and then just keep them up on the video board and jump into the down-on-one-knee procedure. C'Mon!
Summer Frisbee season has wound down, so you probably won't have to wait a month and a half between blog posts. Go Twins!
The Hormel "Row of Fame" song:
ReplyDeleteNow that you are at the game,
are in Hormel's "Row of Fame"?
If you're in a lucky seat,
you'll win a Hormel hot dog treat.
Great for lunch! Great for dinner!
YOU COULD BE A WIENER WINNER!
In the Hormel Row of Fame!!!
I decided when I was about 19 that if I was ever proposed to at a sporting event, I'd say no. I guess the only thing that would change that is if the sporting event was a frisbee game. Then I might consider saying yes. But, I agree... cheesy, overdone, and... why do you need to share that with thousands of people you don't and will never know?
