    There was some guy at the Toronto outing with "ASS EATER" written on his name tag. He was a bit of nutjob. Interestingly, they'd taken the shoelaces out of his Chucks at the border. He could not be trusted with string.

    I only remember one guy wearing Chucks without laces, Jones. And it wasn't you or me.

    For people that didn't show up with their handles on their nametags, how long did it take for people to guess who they were?

    All nametags were passed out at the same time in the hotel lobby. Almost all, at least.

    Maybe I will grab someone else's nametag and then badger the person that gets stuck with Angola!

    But wouldn't that lucky soul get to tell tales about... "sparkling clean" butt sex?

    Even before the nametags, some people guessed. Some posters are easier to predict than others. Patchs knew I "looked like a cradlerobber" before I introduced myself, for instance.

    :D

    I lived in Plano for eight years, June is hardly temperate.

    It's too bad Arlington Stadium's still not around. You could hit the Wet n Wild for the day, see the ballpark from Der Stuka, cross the street and see a game.

    True. Some didn't wear them. All could be identified. No one was lost in the shuffle.

    I know what you mean, LJB. Not exactly the most classic yard in the history of baseball in the USA, but I loved old Arlington Stadium. Wish I could have found a better picture, i.e., one with people in it. I loved the giant HOWDY on the scoreboard during batting practice, The Cotton-Eyed Joe at the 7th-inning stretch....

    I didn't actually wear that travishamockery you handed me. I tossed it and made my own nametag, which said "Dyepack" or something on it. For some reason, everyone shunned me and I ended up spending the weekend alone plotting how to steal the Stanley Cup from that third-rate security system holding it at the HOF museum. The weekend wasn't a complete waste, though. I got my jollies by jaywalking, which caued an international incident and freaked out the locals who equate dodging light traffic with jumping out of airplanes without parachutes.

    One of the best parts of the weekend was Friday. Me, Sxy, Sam, IJAG and CR are sitting in windowfront seats at a deli across from the hotel. A dude with a Patriots shirt walks up the street and passes us by. Thinking I'm wearing my Red Sox hat at this point, and wanting to share with him common Boston allegiances, I knock on the window to get his attention. Then I knock again. And again. He finally sees me.

    Thirty seconds later, I realize that I have my Nats hat on, not my Sox hat. And, no, I wasn't even drunk.

    Another reason why the term douchebox is in my lexicon.

    You are a Red Sox fan? Shit, I'm not buying you a beer now.
