I bet they would. 42nd wonder of the world just comes off as arrogant, because you're the 5,030,003rd wonder at best

Well, I don't want to seem arrogant.

42,000,000,000.076

Oh, I know. Deus named you 42nd wonder of the world. Tis a compliment

Nope. You ruined it. No more wonder of any number.

Don't be

Change your name back You're at least the 42 wonder!

You said I was the 5,030,003rd wonder. Which is it?

Well the 42nd of course.

I was confused

First you saddle me with a cheap ferret beard then you insult me and tell the entire world that I'm 5,030,033 on the wonder fo the world list. And you insulted my lemon poppy seed muffins, and the Cardinals! Then you look all sweet and say don't be cross.

hyp

5,030,033 is damned good out of 6 billion people and even more architectural masterpieces.

Lemon poppy seeds- I'm sorry

You can take off the ferret beard, fine. I gave you 42 reasons though

But I will not apologize about the Cardinals. Make fun of the Reds. Go on

Nah. Making fun of the Reds is too easy.

I don't mind so much that my beard is made of ferrets as that it's 8 feet long. I keep tripping over it. and I don't need any more injuries.

Hyp

We make fun of the reds in Dayton a lot, because we're close enough to follow them, but far enough to laugh at their defeat.

Just wear it backwards. There's a good Hypatia!

Seriously, the Reds have a great history. The midwest has very deep baseball roots. I'm tired of the coastal mentality in this country.

Hyp

Well, history yes- the big red machine and all, but right now, not as much as often

If you're a fan, you're a fan. Teams have periods of ups and downs. Unless you're the Yankees and have enough money to hire God.

Hyp

God is for hire?

At least the Reds aren't the worst team...

True. They're not even almost the worst team. And they're in the NL, which is good. And they have a new stadium, which is good and means they have a future there, unlike the Cardinals who threaten at least 4 times a year to move across the river if the taxpayers don't subsidize them. And they have a long history which makes them better than one of the franchise teams. Old blood, you know. Someone who lives in the Dome would understand things like old blood.

Hyp

Old blood? Certainly not. We ship all our old people to Florida...

Yeah, they're not a bad team. Like Yogi Berra said 'I ain't in a slump, I just ain't hittin' '

Yogi is certainly colorful. I wonder what he'd have to say about a bearded tattooed lady?

Hyp

Yup. I like Yogi, he's funny to listen to.

Are you too young to remember Yogi Bear and BooBoo? Better than the average bear.
