First comment?

Anyway… this is the dirtiest I’ve ever seen kickballs be, besides the obligitory nut shot on America’s Funniest Home Videos. And I like it.

Oh, and how did you get the damned cake to stay on the ball?

Ah, sake. Or should I add an "accent aigue" (ALT 130) to distinguish saké from the English word sake (rhymes with cake)? Anyhow, I’m quite the animé fan (in my case I’m more of a fan of series than the sort of one-shot animé films that critics and Academy voters like) and animé is Japanese, just like saké. So, for a couple of Christmases in a row, since I like one thing that’s Japanese, my parents get me some saké to complete the "liking Japanese stuff" circle. Now, I had tried saké once before, at a restaurant, and it’s pleasant enough tasting, tasting sort of like rice and sort of like wine (well, duh, it’s rice wine). But, it’s not the sort of thing I can drink every night, like beer, and it’s not the sort of alcohol I can really mix into a drink, like with vodka. So, basically, I had three bottles of the stuff lying around for a couple of years, until I made a remarkable discovery… the stuff is excellent to drink if you wake up an hour or two before you actually want to get up and want to get back to sleep, but you don’t want to drink a whole beer or a vodka screwdriver and either knock yourself out for many hours, or wake up in a woozy state. It gets you relaxed enough to get back to sleep if you’re a little nervous (like I always am), but the effects are completely gone by the time you wake up. Okay, I’m sure any other not-too-hard liquor would probably work just as well, but saké is actually meant to be drinken warm, so you can keep a bottle of the stuff in your room and not have to walk all the way to the fridge, and, of course, saké is actually fairly cheap compared to most non-malt liquor alcohol. So, I can produly declare, doing my finest Sean Connery impression, that, yes, "I like sacky".

By the way, when I talk about having some saké to get back to sleep, I mean one or two little sips, from one of those little ceramic cups that saké usually comes with (at least at Quebec SAQ locations)… I’m not talking about pouring yourself a whole glass of saké, because, you know, if you drink that amount, then you are drinking something 3 or 4 times stronger than beer, and you will be out like a light for hours.

I’m glad you cleared that up. I had an image of you battering into, like, a whole bottle. That would definately knock you right out. I’ve never tried the stuff myself, the oppertunity has never presented itself.

Oh, and good job on the continuing kickball tomfoolery, Matt. You truly are a nutcase

Against my better judgement, I’m just gonna go ahead and ask this. Why in that top picture of Hulk are his shorts partially opened?
