YES.

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

Re: last one

This is good news! I interpret all the preceding notes as being written in the future, whereas Shapiro lives beyond the boundaries of space-time and his memo just exists.

Towards the end of the season, someone should compile a “Best of LGTags” post.

Too much awesome

You forgot the note from Skinner to Skinner of October, 2007 which should read something like, “Manny’s got no arm and Lofton’s got wheels.”

Otherwise, superb!!!!!

The Jhonny one is beyond genius. Andrew, you continue to amaze.

by mrich on Jan 23, 2009 10:59 AM EST reply actions

I am really into the idea of Jhonny being given the opportunity to inform himself of something from the future and what he chooses is telling himself 2 days prior not to forget his glove.

by afh4 on Jan 23, 2009 2:46 PM EST up reply actions

He has no other regrets. He’s done everything else right.

And it just hit me … it’s only in the last two days that he even figured out that much.

Thanks for the recs, the bump.

What? Oh man, I totally thought you’d gotten a bunch of your students to actually write these. Yeah the fake handwriting is impressive.

by mrich on Jan 23, 2009 4:31 PM EST up reply actions

That would be a gross and hilarious abuse of power.

by afh4 on Jan 23, 2009 4:35 PM EST up reply actions

You say gross and hilarious, I say wonderful and inevitable, let’s call the whole thing off.

Impressive way to get around dropping the F bomb, by the way.

This is hysterical!

Who is the creative director?

She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.

by jillsinmo on Jan 27, 2009 3:10 PM EST reply actions

I guess I am. I did the whole thing, so I guess that makes me the director. Glad you liked it. Welcome. Go Cardinals, at least since I live in Chicago and Cubs fans are obnoxious.
