Really! I went to pick up one of those suckers and it was as hard as a rock and covered with sharp spikes. You could barely hold one without cutting your fingers. I'd never seen anything like it and it kind of freaked me out.

In my judgment...a North Carolina pine cone probably could kill a squirrel!
That's right, they're hardy! And this is what we do to them cones...

YouTube - M1 Garands go "ping!"

Only way to kill 'em.

Funny. I just thought you painted them and decorated them and made little Christmas trees out of them.

I do think it is cute that the acerbic, sarcastic, and ridiculing anti-fan of MLB is watching the WS now that Philly is in it! Musta still been an edge left on the bandwagon for you to grab! :D
No, I just watch while the commercials are running on whatever channel an entertaining program is showing. And, BTW, it would be the same no matter which teams were playing. I just watch for discussion fodder.

Back when I was still a fan, I was at Game Six of the 1980 World Series when Philadelphia established another first in baseball when they announced that "police dogs and horses are "in play".

BTW, I believe the replay can only determine, fair, foul or whether the ball cleared the fence/wall for a HR. I don't think it can be used to determine interference which is where Garcia screwed up TWICE on the same play.

What you are talking about? Do you know how many people are killed each year as a result of bayonet lugs? ;)

Thank goodness I delayed taking a swig of my lemonade. I'd have ruined a gorgeous 23" LCD monitor!

Hmm... a lot of that going around today. ;)
