Another Imaginery Conversation...

by sothball on May 9, 2009 9:29 AM PDT

Carrying Rev's "lunchtime " theme yesterday to an imagined conversation between Arte and Tony after last night's game...

AM – These tacos are good!...should have told me about these before.

TR – Next time I will introduce you to their chicken burritos.

AM – Good thing I spotted that “Del Ninja” shirt and asked what that was about.

TR – Glad we have such creative fan support.

AM – What’s the meaning of the “Ninja” part?

TR – Uh...I think it’s for how the tacos sneak back up on you an hour later…

AM – Now you tell me!

TR – Their current ad is “Go Bold or Go Home”…

AM – …and get some Tums! Did you really meet Torii there to finalize contract details?

TR – Well…yeah…he knew where it was…and we were both kind of hungry…

AM – Pass a couple more of those hot sauce packets.

TR – Watch out…that’s asking for extra heartburn.

AM- Extra heart burn? After what we went through the last 6 weeks…

TR – Please…don’t remind me…

AM - …you think I’m worried about extra heartburn…

TR - …well…

AM- First we lose Lackey and Santana in spring training…

TR – …I guess you are going to remind me…

AM - …have a fan killed the first night…

TR - …I know what came next…

AM - …then Nick…

TR - …oh man…

AM - …then Vald, followed by Mose, followed by Darren…

TR - …way too much…

AM - …a complete bullpen meltdown…

TR – …that no one expected…

AM -… having our projected 7, 8, and 9 starters contributing as out 3-4 and 5 starters…

TR – (smiles) can’t believe how well they’ve done…

AM – What a long strange trip it’s been…

TR – and it’s barely started.

AM – Jeebus.

TR – Hard to believe…

AM – Those tacos were great! But the Cherry Coke…

TR – Sorry.

AM – Make it a Sprite for the chicken burritos.

TR – OK.

AM – Hand me a couple more napkins…

AM – (Big burp) So…after all of that, we are still at .500?

TR – Yup.

AM- 1 ½ games out of first place?

TD – Hell yeah!

AM – Mike deserves a raise.

TD – You want me to approach him…

AM – I said he deserved one…that doesn’t mean I’m offering one!

TR – (Laughs) OK. I agree though…he deserves a raise.

AM – Maybe we can help him become a spokesman for this…Del Ni…

TR – Del Taco. Yeah…”Go Bold or Go Home”….seems perfect for Mike.

AM – Can’t be worse than those Howard’s commercials…

TR – …kinda funny seeing Mike in those…

AM – This economy isn’t helping anyone.

TR – Sure hope it improves soon. Do you want to review season ticket sales now…

AM – Not after that meal…maybe tomorrow.

TR – I warned you about the hot sauce…

AM – I think I will go with the buffet tomorrow night.

TR (The Ninja strikes again).

AM – Well…good work Tony…

TR – Thanks boss.

AM - And God rest the soul of Nick Adenhart.

TR – …and the others…and their families too…

AM – Amen to that. ‘Nuff said. Let’s go…

AM – At least Guillen gave us a good laugh tonight.
TR – …makes him more or less complete a**hole. Ha!

Excellent

More realistic dialogue than most movies nowadays.

Can we limit the "imaginary conversations"

… to maybe once a month? I feel about them like the Most Interesting Man in the World feels about pick up lines: There’s a time and place for them. The time is never. You can figure out the place on your own.

So, I was having this imaginary conversation...

…about imaginary conversations with the Rev, when all of a sudden this guy dumped a steaming pile of sh….Nah! Just kidding!

Not quite sure what provoked such outrage…on Mother’s Day! Saturday, I was reflecting on the season to date. There were 3 main thoughts;
1) How difficult the first 6-7 weeks of the season have been.
2) With all this chaos, how this team has somehow managed to get back to .500 and 1 ½ games out of first place. It was intended to honor the efforts of all, especially Scioscia.
3) Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, Henry Pearson, Jon Wilhite, and Brian Powers.

From there, I just imagined the conversation with the Del Taco twist. Does this sort of approximate Arte’s and Tony’s views? I have no flippin’ idea! I’d bet it’s close though (minus the tacos and burritos and Cherry Coke).

So, what provoked you? Do you believe I insulted them in some way? Was it something specific, or you just don’t like imaginary conversations in any form?

FWIW, I read your comment defending your screen name, and I thought it was well reasoned and well written…so I don’t think you are some unreasonable crankster. No big deal…one way or the other, stay thirsty my friend.

This is what happened...

LazorkoRules: I’m bored.
The voice In His Head: Me too.
LazorkoRules: I know, I’ll go on Halos Heaven and complain about something totally of no consequence.
The Voice In His Head: Great idea!

Just kidding with you, but if you don’t like ‘em, don’t read ’em.
