Wow

I cant get over how much I hate that commercial.

I love the ones with the old folks looking at pics of their “kids” and the mother walking the infant around the room singing the Oriole bird song. But that douchebag kid/Dad kills me “THE MOOON BOUNCE”!!! ARGHHHHH!!!!

Cant wait for it to run its course.

agreed

yeah it’s horrible. Does the dad only see the kid once or twice a year? It’s just an odd conversation made worse by a stupid kid.

by PhilR8 on Aug 27, 2009 7:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Extremely awkward chat

I think his Dad doesnt hug him enough…. or maybe a little too much… either way, there is some real tension there.

Possibilities

1. Pie thinks he’s a runner instead of a fielder and runs to second base on a routine ground ball.

2. Pie catches a foul ball near the dugout with less than two outs and tosses it into the stands.

3. Pie forgets to hold a runner.

Hello people

I wonder does anyone happen to be listening to this game on the radio? I was listening on the way home and Fred Manfra was just ridiculous calling that double that Luke hit. He acted like it was a home run right off the bat. He was really hamming it up and I was getting so excited. I thought it was on Eutaw for sure. But no, off the wall. What a dummy. Maybe save those crazy dramatic calls when it’s actually a no doubter.

I'll sum it up:

Melmo homered early in the game.

A couple of people became obsessed with this and started throwing out Melmo slogans and eventually all of us were drawn into the Melmaelstrom.

By the end, tears were streaming down my cheeks.

Its worth reading, but i dont think you'll really come up with an explanation

Melmo hit a melmomerun, and someone started sticking his name in political slogans. and it melmoballed from there.

Yeah it was hilarious at first

then mildly amusing, now it’s sort of annoying. It’s gone from actual funny thoughtful thing to just putting melmo in front of everything.
