When my kids heard that today’s giveaway, the A’s poker set, was for adults only, they got all huffy and refused to go to the game. Either that, or they just wanted to fast Joe Blanton.
In either case, I suddenly have two extra tickets for the game I need to give away. As I write this, I’m about to leave.
Update: You missed a good game. And a poker set. The poker set has two decks of cards (with Bobby Crosby and Huston Street on the backs), about fifty 100 chips, and five six dice. Dice in a poker set? Oh, if only you had known that they were giving away a combination poker and Yahtzee set, you would have been there when the gates opened! Cuz when the World Series of Yahtzee hits Las Vegas next year, with all the celebrities and ESPN and whatnot, you are so there.
1. "Either that, or they just wanted to fast Joe Blanton."
If so, you are raising children of excellent taste and refined judgments, Ken.
2. On the other hand you have Saturday's odd, and more than a little creepy, Frank Thomas...mask.
I was worried his vision would fail with so many people poking his eyes out in effigy, but apparently he can see just fine.
