Fuck the Cubans

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

Jim Abbott, the one-handed pitcher! From Wikipedia:
When preparing to pitch the ball, Abbott would rest a right-handed thrower's glove on the end of his right forearm. After releasing the ball, he would quickly slip his hand into the glove, usually in time to field any balls that a two-handed pitcher would be able to field. Then he would remove the glove by securing it between his right forearm and torso, slip his hand out of the glove, and remove the ball from the glove, usually in time to throw out the runner, and sometimes even starting double plays. During international play, Cuba once decided to repeatedly bunt against him, hoping that he wouldn't be able to manage, which proved to be an unsuccessful strategy.
This is (wait for it) (wait for it) single-handedly why America is the greatest nation on the planet, and Cuba is the nuke dumping toilet of some other shitty nation we outspent, outlasted and now mock.

That is the dumbest goddamn post in the history of this idiotic bulletin board.

Nobody would post shit like this if they had to telnet in.
When you need my help because I'm ruining everything, don't look at me.

Ben's right about all the shit-posting going on here. Let me click on the "IP Button" and see who posted tha... ah. Hmm.

Welp!

The problem, when it comes to moving to a telnet BBS, is that people won't be able to compile an indexed link through major search engines, of me telling you what a hapless fucking fun vampire you are and will always be. The people lose out.

Also, it doesn't surprise me that you'd bunt on a one-handed man.
