I wish they would add some spice, maybe a few literary devices, some sort of suspense to these police report things. They’re just so DRY.

We should’ve traded Byrd for Dallas McPherson in the 5th inning when we had the chance. Seriously, do you think we’d get more?

By this time, Downey’s laughing so hard, he can barely catch his breath.“Dude, I don’t mean to be too basal, but I always think about, maybe it’ll make my dick seem bigger if they have little hands and they’re wrappin’ ‘em around, but I might also feel like I’m gettin’ a hand job from a fuckin’ mouse, which, worse things could happen, but I’d rather get a hand job from a squid than a mouse. Which is the essence of what I’m trying to say today.”

So lets say that a regular lookin’ dude, by some complete and total accident, ends up tricking a total hot girl into marrying him. 10 years later, they’re still togeather, but she somehow got hotter and our regular joe has gained 25 lbs, lost his job and hair.
When Wedge goes out there to argue, he is playing the part of Regular Joe.

Alright guys time to cheer up. From today’s USA Today:
Says Rod Allen, the Tigers’ TV analyst: “People back home are shocked. Everybody in baseball, not just Detroit, thought they would win this division. They’re booing them at the ballpark. Hammering them on the radio. It’s nasty out there.”But, oddly enough, eerily calm inside.
“It’s so relaxed in here,” says Sheffield, who is hitting .189 with two home runs and eight RBI as he struggles with right shoulder pain. “I don’t know if that means that we don’t have a killer instinct or we’re just a real loose team. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
‘Stale and stagnant’ atmosphere
Sheffield looks around the clubhouse. It is two hours before game time against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and video is being shown of Dan Haren, the opposing pitcher.
No one is watching.
Cabrera, who had never faced Haren, is asleep in a chair. Magglio Ordonez has his back turned to the TV and is reading a magazine. A handful are playing cards.
Detroit lost 4-3, with Ordonez getting three of the six hits. The loss provided a snapshot of the year.
Unbelievable. No way we lose the division to that team.

Mrs. Tabs and I are going to KC this weekend to visit a friend, but I might undertake a stealth mission to try to steal some real hitters.

(Verse 1)
It’s like a jungle atmosphere
And we’re two monkeys baby
It’s like we’re on a vine
The way we’re swinging it baby
See, you’re a tiger girl
The way you’re scratching me
I’m a lion
In this jungle I’m a king
Girl, I got you so wet
It’s like a rain forest
Like Jurassic Park
Except I’m your sex-a-saurus baby
You and me hopping
Like two kangaroos
Rattling and moaning
Out here in these woods(b-section 1)
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
Those are the sounds I wanna hear
When you’re moaning in my ear
Girl you’re singing to me
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
You got me locked up in your cage of ecstasy
And I don’t wanna be free cause it’s(Chorus 1)
Wild like a zoo
And that’s the way I like it baby
Crazy me and you
Making love like we was just two heated animals
Baby come and lay with me in my jungle(Verse 2)
Ooo, I swear I’m about to go
Turn your body around and beat the skins like it’s a bongo
A thousand birds up out the tree
Girl, like a swarm of bees
That is how it’s gonna be
Climaxing you and me
Touch the root of your soul
Let Mother Nature take control
Over us is rain and leaves
So come on girl
Let’s plant these seeds, yeah(b-section 2)
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
Baby, those are the sounds I wanna hear
When you’re moaning in my ear
SingingOoo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
(Oh yeah)
You got me locked up in your cage of ecstasy
And I don’t wanna be free cause it’s(Chorus 2)
Wild like a zoo
And that’s the way I like it baby
Crazy me and you
Making love like we was just two heated animals
Baby won’t you come and lay in my jungle(Bridge)
Ya’ll don’t understand
Like two cheetahs running free
African butterfly to me
You’re my safari fantasy
Girl this is heaven to me
Baby we are like coconut and banana trees
(It’s a tropical)
Tropical chemistry
Like the wild life
I’m doing you baby
(I’m doing you baby)
You’re doing me baby
(You’re doing me baby)
It’s you and me
(It’s you and me)
Going wild(Chorus 3)
Wild like a zoo
And that’s the way (Oh baby) I like it baby
Crazy me and you
Making love like we was just two heated animals
So baby come and lay with me in my jungle(I don’t wanna break free ‘cause this is)
Wild like a zoo
Just the way I like it baby
Crazy me and you
Making love like we was just two heated animals
Girl come and lay with me in my (lay with me) jungle(Girl I like it cause it’s)
Wild like a zoo (Wild like a zoo)
Crazy me and you (Crazy me and you, Yeah)
Heated animals (Heated animals)
Girl come and lay with me in my jungle(Outro)
