HNC, trust me. Coach is being modest about this. In baseball terms, he'll throw a pitch and you'll be 100% certain it's a 95-mph four-seam fastball, so you'll start your swing . . . and the bat will be there in the hitting zone . . . but the ball will have dropped three inches, and moved four inches outside . . . and still won't be in the hitting zone . . . and you'll say, "Shit! He threw the circle changeup!"
And he'll smile at you as the umpire screams, "Strike THREE!!!"
Oh, but sir, don't ascribe any underhanded motives to this.
Remember, and it's been stated here many times over the past three years, franksolich has two functions here, of equal importance.
One is to help conservativecave flourish and prosper by building up the DUmpster; to amuse decent and civilized people with the antics of the primitives on Skins's island. I'm never quite sure how well I'm doing that, building up the DUmpster and amusing decent and civilized people, but I
assume I'm doing at least okay, because I'm still a moderator here.
The other is to be a thorn in the side of the primitives, to prod and poke them when they're being stupid, ridiculous, ignorant, or nuts. I mean to do this as often, and as roughly, as possible, because the primitives represent people and sorry-ass attitudes in real life who give me much trouble.
I dunno how well I'm doing in that, because out of circa 2800 primitives, only three primitives seem to know franksolich even exists, Pedro Picasso, the sparkling husband primitive, and one obscure
unterprimitiven whose name I've forgotten.
I'm sure that if "franksolich" were uttered on Skins's island, the primitives would react, "uh, who's that?"
At times when I'm cryptic, it's not meant to tease or confuse decent and civilized people seeking amusement; it's that I'm "talking" to lurking primitives, if any are paying attention.I would throw the baseball pitch you described, out to the primitives.....but I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing to decent and civilized people.
