Ah, but there's a crucial difference. The two guys in the bottle aren't being relied upon as starters. Perhaps a Freddy in the bottle would have been more apropos to the analogy.
I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT THE DUST CLOUD WAS THE EXTRA 10% THAT ALLOWED HIM TO PLAY AT 110%. THANKS FOR THE LINKS, IT MADE ME LAUGH TO REVISIT THOSE STRIPS.

ReplyDeleteWHY DOES ERSTAD HAVE A PIGPEN DUST CLOUD AROUND HIM? I LAUGHED REGARDLESS.
ReplyDeleteI love the Grindy dirt-pile under Erstad.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Danzig, but here are some links about how much I was counting on them to be reliable starters, at the time they were acquired:
ReplyDeleteBartolo:
From last Spring
Erstad:
From Palehose 7
Griffey:
From Palehose 8
I think they all fall into the "trying to catch lightning in a bottle" category.
The Pig Pen dust cloud was first seen in Palehose 7. I'll let you find that on your own.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
I checked, still explanation for the cloud carl...
ReplyDeleteI want you to go back and read ALL of Palehose 7.

Here's some help:
May 25th 2007- Pigpen cloud
May 6th 2007- Erstad loves dirt, and dirt loves Erstad.
Carl,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is more funny - The post or the comments...Hilarious.

ReplyDeleteCould anonymous people please not post in all-caps. It reminds me too much of JI

Notice how the "key" isn't "in" the bottle.
ReplyDeleteI've taken to reading ALL CAPS writing in a Billy Mays voice. Try it. You'll start enjoying ALL CAPS.
ReplyDeleteBILLY MAYS HERE. THIS CARTOON MADE ME L.O.L.
In response to posthumous popularity as it pertains to truth in advertising,
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever saw Billy Mays and Michael Jackson in the same place, at the same time ...
AARON ROWAND IS ANONYMOUS & ANONYMOUS IS AARON ROWAND. I HAVE TO WRITE THE WAY I TALK. AARON ROWAND DOESN'T NEED A DUST CLOUD TO GIVE 110%.
ReplyDeletePIE!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose were the days, FFS. I'd be happy to get a whiff of pie this year.
