It's Election Day folks! Get out your trusy markers and fill in those scantron bubbles. Keep your fingers and toes crossed that our hard work has paid off. I'll be leaving in a bit to go work the polls (that's POLLS not POLES you sick bastards) with Alex and then we're all going to Kentland to wait for the results.
One of my co-workers (teammates? Yeah, that sounds stupid...) - anywho - he was all jacked up this morning. He's not originally from the great state of Indiana...he's originally an east coast boy. So he's all Gretchen Wilson'd about the fact that you can't buy any booze today. Anywhere. Because it's Election Day. He couldn't believe it. Now he said this to me at 7:35am...I have NO idea why or where he was trying to buy booze before 7:35am, but that's not for me to judge. I mean he was really whipped up - calling it unconstitutional and degrading that the politicians have deemed us so dumb and irresponsible that they have to lawfully cut off the sale of liquor so we don't vote toasted. Which, I think some people might actually make a BETTER decision under the influence, but what do I know? He tried to blame it on the Democrats...HA! I had to remind him that he's living in a Republican right-wing Christian state...trust me, the Dems aren't keeping anyone from drinking...have you SEEN Ted Kennedy?
On a completely different sidenote...
Parents really piss me off. At Saturday's game this mom wanted to take her son home before the game ended because he was COLD. Yes it was a nasty, dreary, shitty day. But it was that way at 6am...it was that way at 8:15 am when we took the team pictures. The game didn't start until 11:00 am...AND SHE WENT HOME IN BETWEEN. You mean to tell me that you didn't have the forethought on a nasty cold wet dreary day to maybe, I don't know, dress your kid in layers? Like the REST OF THE TEAM did? Or grab him a coat? I guess I'm hating this woman a little, too, because she's not his mom, she's his grandmother...and the last interaction I had with her was when she walked up to me at a scout function and told me she was 'too stoned for this.' So lemme get this straight. Your daughter was too incompetent to raise this boy, and now he's stuck with his stoner grandparents who let his sister run around scouting events with no shirt on and can't bring a coat to the ball field. Ugh, aggravating...poor kid. /end of rant.
Polls are open until 6pm. Have a great day!

1) Please don't mock me and my teammates. I'm very sensitive...
2)The bars and liquor stores open when the polls close. 6:00pm, usually on the dot!
3)Is the ball players naked sister older than 18 by chance?
4)Parents pamper their kids too much these days anyway. The old man would have told anyone of us to shut up and suck it up...
5)Finally, I'm glad I wasn't raised by my Grandparents. They were stricter than our parents...
6)Good luck to your buddy running for the school board. Let us know the results....
1. Jimmer - you are not sensitive. You fake it.
2. I know when they open, silly. I used to work in a bar.
3. Sorry to disappoint, the ball players sister is only 4 years old. Crushed your fantasy, I hope.
4. You're right - parents do coddle their kids too much these days...but more importantly, when it comes to extracurricular activities and being unprepared, they blame everyone but themselves.
5. My grandparents are cool - I think I would be fatter if they raised me, Gram can COOK! not that Janet can't, but yikes...no such thing as low fat in that world.
6. Thanks - I wish you were a registered voter in Newton County.
