Flairin' it up with EP!

1. Are eyebrows considered facial hair?

Depends. If they are growing like you fertilized them or you were born with a unibrow – definitely yes and should be maintained as such.

I should have given this more thought before asking this question. I was dying to use that Madonna's kid picture. Beyond that, how interesting can I be when talking about eyebrows? Given a second chance I would have asked which song is better, Working For The Weekend by Loverboy or Two Tickets To Paradise by Eddie Money. Let’s face it, Eddie Money is a homerun every time you talk about him.

2. If you were single, which dating website would you use?

Search Ladiesman217 and you’ll find out. My wife knows I’m joking.

Does she?

3. What is your greatest BT moment?

I have to share 3 greatest moments:

#3.) Championship game, my right knee is so stiff and sore I can’t play but CW asks me to show up. In the bottom of the 7th with 2 out we’re down 4-3, CW takes a walk and asks if I can pinch hit. I hobble up to the plate and work the count full. I hit the next pitch into the right field bleachers to win it 5-4. I literally limp my way around the bases – but what a moment.
#2.) Tracy is playing right center and overthrows the cutoff man (surprise there) as the runner rounds third. Trying to be heads up and anticipate the throw I race over from shortstop and pick up the overthrow on one hop (the throw was off-line too) and flip it to Brett- just in front of the runner to get the out and save a run. If the runner slides he’s safe but, in this case, he didn’t.
#1.) Had been living in Iowa City for about 2 months, when I finally get the call up to the Tigers for the 1st round of the League tournament. Hit pretty well that day but think I earned my spot on the club with a diving play behind second base Get up and shoot the guy out at first. Unfortunately we lost the game but I consider myself lucky for being around the day Global got his second nickname.

Zzzzzzz What? Oh, you are done? Oh, yeah, great answer.

4. Have you been told you look like the offspring of Bret Bielema and Jeffrey Lebowski?

Nope never heard that although my wife’s grandma insisted I looked like Troy Aikman – loved that woman.

I’m sure she loved you too, rumor has it she makes one hell of a meatloaf also!

5. Name two things you consider yourself to be very bad at besides slow-pitch softball and life.

Golf and origami.

Are you intentionally answering these questions so I can’t think of a response? Hey guys! What’s more boring than golf? Yep! Origami. Seriously dude give me something to work with. On a positive note you are really bad at two irrelevant things.

6. Why on earth do you wear Crocs in public and who told you wearing Croc flair was cool?

Come on – first – Crocs are timeless, like a classic black dress or Chuck Taylors. Second, I’m too old and wise to give a $#@! about what other people think. Comfortable and convenient – especially when you’re putting the boat in the water.

Dude, you can not be serious!

7. Which one of the current or former Tiger’s is your favorite?

Each Tiger brings something to the Ambush*. As the elder statesman, I can have no favorites.

Answer the question! Jerk! (can you ever get enough of McEnroe?)
*Editors note: Results for the BT Fan Base naming contest are not final, but it looks like Ambush is clearly the favorite.


8. When was the first time you realized you had reached stardom with the BT’s?

Stardom? I’m still trying to keep my roster spot!

Another Tiger feigning modesty. This is becoming an embarrassing epidemic. We were built on bravado and an undying belief in our abilities. Get with the game or we’ll give your spot to Glen Worley. At least he thought he was good.

9. If you could be one of the following, who would it be and why? Richard Marx, Milli (he’s the black dude with long braids) of Milli Vanilli, or David Coverdale of Whitesnake?

Not Richard Marx – his music gives me seizures..no really. Never been much of hair band guy so I guess it’s the Milli for me but that’s by default.

Ba-ba-ba-ba-baby! Don’t forget you’re a whitey.

10. If you could choose, how would you want to die? I know the ways I don’t want to die:

-like the woman who is crossing the railroad tracks in front of the train…and doesn’t see the other train.
-eaten by a shark, that’s why they have eyes on the top of their head you know.
-caught in a combine – yikes.
-trapped in a sinking car – too dramatic
-trapped in a sinking boat – too Titanic
-I guess if I have to answer, from exhaustion – at the hands of Halle Berry.

Uh hmm, what happened? I was reading along someone said something about Halle Berry and I blacked out. Weird.

Here is a tribute to Ladiesm..., err, EP.




Live once, get wet, then die!

Sincerely,
The Bayside Tigers
