I Take It Back

[Guest AG/DC]

I take back any bad thing I ever said about my brother.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Your brother's Richard Belzer?

Way cool, man.

[seawolf17]

Way cool!

[Guest themetfairy]

That's Malcom's dad, right?

That's a nice wedding gift

[Guest AG/DC]

And Ollie's dad.

Patron of the Blue Tarp Lounge.

[bmfc1]

I can see it now AG: one night next week, D-Wright blasts one out of Nats Park, looks to the crowd, and yells, that's for AG/DC!

[soupcan]

That's great.

Your brother's da bomb.

[HahnSolo]

Cool!

Even more cool: your brother bowls!

[metirish]

Explanation please , can't view that link here at work.

[Centerfield]

Wow. My brother hasn't given me a wedding gift yet and we celebrated 10 years last July.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I can't believe you have a myspace page

[Guest AG/DC]

Oh, shut up.

I just created it to upload my boyfriend's video.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm just jealous. I want to go bowling with Daybidrye.

[Guest AG/DC]

He's probably thinking about me right now.

Couldn't you have just put it on YouTube?

[Guest AG/DC]

Is that what the kids are doing these days? I thought YouTube was just for eighties videos and tranny porn.

I've never done it. Let me try.



Bam!

[seawolf17]

You know, nobody's asked the question yet... how did your brother and Daybidrye wind up at the same bowling alley at the same time?

[Guest Kong76]

Edge, you can open a youtube account with our cranepoolforum gmail
sign-on info. Is that really your brother? I mean I only met him that once
but I don't remember him looking like that for some reason.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'm sure David made a point of finding a way to send me his wishes.

Actually, it hasn't been explained to me, but the David Wright Foundation hosts a bowling event for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and Arthur's son Oliver is beneficiary of the MDA, so I assume he got a little extra access.

Think of my nephew Ollie the next time MDA approaches you.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

THAT....IS....AWESOME!!!!


And I'm totally not surprised that Wright would say, "OK, I'll do that!"

[Guest AG/DC]

According to my brother, he asked DW if he could do him a favor.

Now, any sensible New York celebrity would say, "Um... what kind of favor?" but Dabidrye said, "Sure!"

Arthur mentioned he'd like him to send me a wedding greeting and asked, "Now, how would you go about that kind of thing? Do I get in touch with your office?"

The Gold Glover said, "Why don't we just do this with a quick video?"

They knocked it off in one take --- I assume the event had a videographer but maybe that was just done with Keith Miller's cameraphone --- and then he scuttled off agreeably to do promos for a Korean faith healer, a Nigerian widow, and Fannie Mae.

[soupcan]

To paraphrase what I believe is an old Asian proverb - we live in interesting times.

Anybody anywhere these days can whip out their phone or camera and shoot a quick vid, post it on the intranets and - BAM - its everywhere.

I find it amazing.

[metirish]

I can't wait to watch it at home , I am impressed though.

Daybidrye - am I the only one who didn't know that this was D-Wright's nickname , does Val know?

[Guest AG/DC]

The youtube video doesn't work for you either?

Where do you work? Rikers?

I think it was Johnny Lunchbucket's son who came up with that one.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yep, Daybidrye is his favorite batball player.

[metirish]

Ah yes , that's where I saw it before , and something about Reyes too IIRC.

I like it.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wonder if Valadius is embarrassed that a toddler outdoes him when it comes to nicknames with staying power.

[Valadius]

Very cool, Edgy!

And I could care less who comes up with the best nicknames. Whatever works is fine with me. I just come up with them to amuse myself.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Can you imagine what would happen if someone approached Jeter with a request like that?

Assuming you could get through the human wall of security goons, do you think Jeter's first response would be to demand payment?
