Baseball

Tonight i learned what third base is.

Don't normally watch too much tv, but towards the end of a long week a couple drinks and an edited-for-tv movie isn't too bad a way to start the night. Got to watch parts of American Pie - a movie i've seen a number of times before - and though i'd heard the euphemism before, this time i decided to look it up (always gotta learn new things, just like the whole wine deal). Maybe tomorrow i'll learn what it means to beat a red haired stepchild, or what a tongue might be doing in cheek, or why my chain needs pulling, or any number of other American phrases.

Now if you talk to me about olives, those are some metaphors i might understand, and for the most part i'm down with watching pots and eating cake to have it in my stomach (especially if it's accompanied by red, ripe strawberries).
