Here (U.S.)

[Oren Hudson]

It's getting close to that time that, at least "Here (US)" will have Halloween land on Saturday night.

With that in mind, I'm wondering what all of you folks are going to use for costumes. Please advise so that I won't become too alarmed if I see you. Of course, the easy ones will be those who are scary enough to not need to "dress up."

My friend Richard, since you'll be among the first to experience Halloween, won't you start us off?

I'm still tossing up whether to dress up as a Singer or a trumpet player.

Sorry, I seem to have forgotten. What other countries are in the world series?

I did some research:
"The World Series is played between the League Championship Series winning clubs from MLB's two circuits, the American and National Leagues, which collectively consist of 30 teams based in the United States and one in Canada (Toronto) with players drawn primarily from the United States, Latin America (including the Caribbean), Canada, Japan, and Korea."
So, players can come from different countries but 30 of the 31 teams are based in the US. Not exactly a world series. Maybe it should be renamed The US +1 Series?
Oh yes, and it seems that the Phillies are not from Philistine.

So you're dressing as --- a baseball? No, no - I think you'd do better as a bat swatin things around. How about it?

Wow! Cliff Lee (Phills Pitcher) dominates Yankees in Game 1, including 10K's and a complete game, beating them 6 - 1.

Phillies: 1
Yankees: 0

[Tim Bishop]

Game 2 of World Series less than an hour away! Phill's are up 1 to 0.

How do you dress up as a sewing machine? Richard, are you discussing these thoughts with your doctor?

What's the point? My doctor thinks he's an umbrella.

Careful not to sew your lips together, my friend, resulting in no trumpet nor candy. That would be a shame.

I'm starting a bass playing championship in New Zealand. I've decided to call it The World Bass Playing Championship. New Zealand bass players will compete for the world title, along with one Australian.

Ken, there's no place for geographic discrimination on this forum - you can do that some place else, but not here!
Next you'll be wanting to call this place Ken's World Corner and what sense will that make? No wonder you had to rename this place The Play Pen!
Now go back and edit your posts, or I will!

Hang on, you're supposed to talk to me like that and not the other way round. Sorry.
