The Official "Say Anything" Thread

Hey so anyway the game starts at 17:00 and I see that its 22:00 in Syndney already, so you should know by now.

[ungeheuer]

I probably do know.

How much I care is another thing entirely 

World Series    Right 

[MendoDave]

If you guys would move Australia into the middle of the pacific so that it was closer we would probably include you in our Baseball series. Do you realize how long that dreadful plane ride is?

[ungeheuer]

Do I realise?

The World is a big place.  When I get in a plane for a non-domestic flight.... I know I'm gonna be aboard... for... a while.

Yeah, I realise.

World Series.  Why make pretentions about something that isn't?

[ducpainter]

It's just marketing...

Like...

Scrambler by Ducati...

Well that is a question you are going to have to ask MLB


I can see you in the middle seat of the center row, in the back of a 747 with a big fat lady sitting next to you and a screaming baby in the row behind. Her big brother who is 5 keeps kicking your seat back.

Like...

No it isn't.

Scrambler is by Ducati.  Agreed it's wank, but  it's not untrue wank.  Let's call it a Ducati Scrambler....

World Series.  In which the "world" consists of what?  Three nations??      

Or is it just two?

That's not marketing.... it's insular, near-sighted bollocks

I can't disagree...except about the Scrambler part...

that has to be the dumbest make the beast with two backsing idea I've ever heard.

I can understand the Japanese being indignant...they play baseball...

but...

how many baseball teams does Australia, or the other nations of the world, have?

If the rest of the 'World' wants in...

they should play the stoopit game...

and it is the dumbest game I'm familiar with.

[ungeheuer]

By that logic...

we sould re-brand AFL...

World Football league. 

C'mon down 

But it's time I wasn't.  Have a Tuesday

I'm sure that a couple of resourceful marketeers can get your AFL and our NFL together...

and create a 'World Bowl'

Transportation costs would be exorbitant, but it could work.

I'll have my people call your people.

Morning.

An AFL v. an NFL game would be interesting to see...

Tired.
