Today’s Beatdown was inspired by opening weekend of the baseball season. The pre-blast said “If you build it they will come.” Well, considering it was the start of Spring Break, a lot of our PAX are traveling to far away places to bask in the sunlight. I heard that Mr. Hand was taking his talents down south to achieve his life-long dream of being a hand model. If that doesn’t work out, he’s hoping to be lucky enough to use those hands to oil up the Hawaiian Tropic girls (see Dumb and Dumber.) Duggar should nearly be to Bora Bora for that dream vacation, as long as he doesn’t have trouble getting all those kids through customs. Sous Vide is probably manning the grill somewhere.
Fortunately, we had just enough to field a baseball team.
