  My aunt sent me the following email and I thought it rather funny in light of some of the illiterate posts in this forum....

  .....In these times of technological advancements with email, twitter, text messages and the like, it is extremely vital to remember the importance of proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

  Proper punctuation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse!   :) 

  Happy New Year everybody!

  A debacle is when the Seattle Mariners get Cliff Lee, Chone Figgins and Milton Bradley and finish last in their division.  Or any year the Yankees don't win the World Series.

  LOL. Milton does that to teams. He should have stayed in the board game business. 

   

   

  p.s., You'll be happy to know,  the local sportswriter picks Boston over the Phillies in the 2011 WS. I think he does it to be like you and Andyson .  :-D

  OK, I like your sportswriter Bob Matthews a lot.  He also picked my White Sox to win their division. :-D

  P.S.  dabacle is what we from Chicago call that metal thing on da belt.  Da Bears!
