The count was 2 strikes and no balls. Bottom of the ninth.

The fans got a hit, but that by no way assures us a win.

Just 5 more hours til the Strike.

The emperors will be without their thrones and fields.

Ewe. Oh, those were the days. When, according to Maiko, emperors, instead of umpires, ruled in the baseball field. Oh boy…

Anyway, Jeff, it’s pretty cool picture of you jumping off abridge; it would me much more fun for everybody if you try from a bridge with no water below! Do it, just once!
I’ll go to Italy for 2 weeks, so I won’t be able to post the usual shit; see you in 2 weeks,
BACI to whomever wants them,

.......and when they DO win the world series, I'll be 104 years old, in an elderly home, drooling and mumbling, completely senile, and I won't even know they've won it.

Don’t the pessimistic, Jeff; one day the Red Sox will win that damn Stanley Cup.

Most useless words (at least around Boston): WORLD SERIES

Hey guys, which one do you think is the MOST USELESS word ? For me, it’s the word FOREVER. I think we, as human beings, really don’t need that word and the idea associated with it.
Later, g

Yeah, I can't believe it either! And what does a guy like me, Mike or Jeff know about cheap bitches for sex in Boston?
And by the way, cheap bitches for sex... isn't redundant? I mean, you look for cheap bitches for what else?

I can't even believe that we are listed number one for the search "cheap bitches for sex in boston." that might be one of the funniest things I've seen all year.......

It’s pretty interesting how we ended up, according to the search engines, to say on this site things we never said!

Anyway, another from Rumi:

The way you make love is the way God will be with you.

Hi there! How are you?

I bet you are really disappointed. Too bad.

On Resurrection Day your body testifies against you.
Your hand says, "I stole money."
Your lips, "I said meanness."
Your feet, "I went where I shouldn't."
Your genitals, "Me too."

Rumi (1207-1273)

oohhh, I see...
Anyway, back to Rumi:

When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.

Giulio, you hadn't heard? Air conditioners are no longer available due to an UN decree. The patent is no longer valid. And Americans use too much electricity as is.

It was 12:24 in the morning.

Hey Mike, was THAT air conditioner the last on the face of the earth? can't you buy another one?
anyway, back to beauty of life and persian poetry.

First, when I was apart from you, this world did not exist, nor any other.

Second, whatever I was looking for was always you.

Third, why did I ever learn to count to three?

Rumi (1207-1273)

Today I really, REALLY, regret not buying that air conditioner.

Touch my skin so I can be myself.

Rumi (1207-1273)

This week is the week of Persian Poems, poems about love, life, and everything else. Dear readers (that is, Mike and Jeff) if you don't like this stuff, skip this week!

For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn't decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.

Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273)

The beauty of Persian Poems, poems about love, life, and everything else.

Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah.
It makes absolutely no difference
what people think of you.

English language can be tricky too…

If olive oil comes from olives,
WHERE DOES BABY OIL COME FROM ??

If vegetarians eat vegetables,

So many things to do and deadlines to meet, so little time. Just a week.
I should have been born just a week earlier… so I would have made all the deadlines I had in my life!!!!
Next life, I’ll come out from that confortable place a week earlier…

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
William Blake (1757–1827), Auguries of Innocence.

Dutch: tricky language. Sounds easy, but it isn’t at all! BOTER means butter, pretty easy, right? HAM means ham, this is also easy... and then we got BOTERHAM which means… bread!!!! Where is the logic? Yes, it is true that we might sometimes put some butter or ham on top of a piece of bread, but is this a good reason to call the bread in this way? It’s like calling a woman ‘Hey man’, just because sometime she might have a man on top of her …
