kristen produced an astounding idea today.
t-shirts.
should we have them? what would our baseball name be? would we have a league? should we all be representatives from different baseball teams so we can compete against each other? or just have two teams in one league. should we be from sponsors? what do you think? come up with name ideas. i dare you. and then second project will be coming up with logos and designs.
if we do this now, we’ll have it all prepared in plenty of time for when we actually start playing in april or may.
well i am pretty attached to retard baseball as a name, but not so attached to it as a name to be publicized to the less understanding outside world.
by the same token, we can’t be the tards. hm…the tarts? or just RBB?
1. My neighboor / friend Kris has a t-shrit printing setup, so for the cost of the supplies we could ….. oh. Just realized chuck prints t-shrits. Okay scratch that.
2. I think we should have two teams of shirts, but be able to trade them around so people can change teams.
i think we should each have two shirts so we don’t have to worry about doing laundry every week. i’m lazy. plus, my brother only prints in really large quantities, so we might be interested in your neighbor, gene.
plus, slogan: “out of the tard room, into the fire.” or any variation.
ok, but I am very unwilling to wear anything directly referencing retards, for fear of bay area lynch mobs. it all should be in some kind of code…like french.
This is completely off-topic, but I just noticed a link to a CH blog by Doug on your page. Prepare for Turnbull!!!
It could say “T.A.R.D. Baseball” and we could just pretend it’s an acronym.
jason you’re a genius. though erica thinks it’s too obvious. i like it.
what if the acronym was T.A.H.D. which isn’t as obvious a tard reference, but adds in the retarded pronunciation. ??? but what would T.A.H.D. stand for? perhaps “Timmy’s Awfully Huge Dick”?
or T.A.H.D (obviously TIMMY! from southpark) could be our sponsor, then it’s “Baseball Brought to you by Timmy’s Awfully Huge Dick.”
TIMMY!
I wholeheartedly approve.
The foundation that sponsors us could be “Thoughtless Acronyms Hurting Degenerates.”
Or we could go the obvious route with “Tony Awardees Have Diarrhea.”
T-ards
A-re
H-orrendously
D-umb
gasp! Jacob!
that’s just mean.
Yeah, don’t mistake our intentions here, because they are in no way mean spirited. We’re actually trying to elevate the retard.
can you imagine the shit i will get when people other than us find this page?
gasp!
I’m actually not such a fan of the TAHD name…..Perhaps something a bit more clever?
Though I’m going to be distinctly unhelpful and not offer any suggestions.
Right so this is just an idea and you guys might not like it, but Sumit and his friends used to call eachother retards by saying DEVERO which was the name of an institution for “mentally challenged” people nearby.
“St. Louis Tardinals”
instead of DEVERO then, we could call ourselves, “erica’s baby-sitting job that poos his pants and shows her the poo.” and then we could just shorten it to “erica.”
sorry erica.
sean-hwee!
I love this. Why not call us “Special Needs Baseball.”
Or just TIMMAH!!!
I have to say that, so far, St. Louis Tardinals gets my vote. Although, I don’t really know how I feel about the retard theme altogether.
What about the Bay Arrrrrrrrrea Pirates? We could wear patches during games as part of our costumes AND for the extra lack of depth perception challenge. Give those carnies a run for their money in the weirdo department!
yeah, and we could say yarrrrrr one instead of strike one. and so on………hilarity……insueing………
oh, i can’t spell. isnt’ it ensueing? who the hell knows. see jolie? if the tard fits? wear it? i mean that i’m a tard. nevermind.
i think we should say “yaaarrrrr one” even if we aren’t the pirates. not that we ever play with strikes anyway. we could just say it when the mood struck us though.
I was going to suggest we pretend we’re a family team, the Tardinellis, but I think the Tardinals is the princess of the fiesta.
ooh, I like the fun of the family idea. Once agai, I dunno about the Tardinellis because I’m kind of anti the whole retard joke concept. But if we went with the pirate concept we could call ourselves the Chihulis. I have no problems with making fun of rich, asshole artists.
Chihulis is tempting. Although, upon seeing someone in a Chihuly shirt, I may on occasion become blinded with rage and bite their face off. If everyone is cool with that, so am I.
would we have to wear green pants like him? at least he already wears an eyepatch so we could still go with the whole pirate thing too.
while i do concur that The Tardinals and The Tardinellis are absolute genius, i must agree with jolie that it’s a little too blatant. what if i ran into someone i work with? “hello erica, the gentle and kind girl who is ever so patient with special needs children. what ho? are you on a baseball team? what’s it called?…” at least with something like T.A.H.D. i could pretend it stood for something else, like Tremendously Altruistic, Headstrong Divas. or something like that.
What if we call ourselves “The Retards,” but we make the “e” backwards. No one will be the wiser and we’ll be sitting pretty.
OR we could say it in Spanish. “Los Retardos Gigantes.” If we had a game on a Sunday, this would make it far easier for us to say, “Los Retardos Gigantes! DOMINGO, DOMINGO, DOMINGO!” Because really, isn’t this the unspoken center of the disagreement?
backwards e! backwards e! AR AR AR! I LIK-BACKWARDS E BAS-BACKWARDS E-BALL!
