putting a smile on my own face.
Hello once again Loyal Candorteers I've decided not to make you wait another week for your next glimpse into the "corner." Every 3rd Wednesday of the month for the last year and a half the group I graduated with, along with some new faces, have gotten together for our monthly Pancake Breakfast.
This gives us a chance to catch up with one another without Life getting in the way. We talk about what's going on in our lives over a hot breakfast and a bottomless cup O' joe.
The reason for this back story is I usually send out a reminder email and try to make it amusing for all parties involved. I was pleasantly surprised with how September's email turned out and I wanted to share it will you.
So without further Ado...The Pancake Breakfast Email Reminder (I think I need to work on the title)
Here ye! Here Ye! Another Pancake Breakfast is upon us. Thou est would like to most humbling apologize for mine absence in month's past.
Be we shan't focus on thine past, but henceforth focus on the future, where greener pastures await!
Before our fellowship can meet we need to contemplate where thine meeting will commence.
Should the Meeting of Kings take place at the house where people flock from borders far and wide to enjoy the pancakes of the lords, or shall we commence the meeting on top of the hill littered with blueberries??
Or is there more of a Divine location where we can meet?? Say the original house where the first pancake was birthed???
Please send ye fastest messenger back to thy location to whence this message was sent.
This lord thankith thy patience in reading this message that was scribed in the language of Ol'
-Chris
Post Script
Topics that we will be discussed during our monthly congregation include;
-Lord Ostopuck's upcoming appointment to the alchemist to repair the damaged shoulder.
-Upcoming day where we internationally talk in the Pirate tongue.
-What should be done with the Turks?
-The Plague, fact or fiction?
-What's is the best way to tell if someone is a witch?
-Should Minotaur's be used while interrogation spies??
-Anything else the attending Lords wish to speak upon.

The Sport of Kings
Candorteers, I feel that it is my duty, neh my calling, to once again champion the sport of Baseball and explain why it IS the greatest sport on the face of the Earth, and maybe even the universe (the latter is yet to be proven because scientist are still trying to harness cold fusion that will be used for space travel). This all came about yesterday when I was out with a few friends and they wouldn't stop talking about how excited they were that the NFL started tomorrow, and "It's great that there's finally a real sport to watch." When I tried to explain how wrong they were and how they could have been enjoying sport's version of Heaven on Earth all summer long they scoffed and refused to listen. Well now I get a chance to give my rebuttal to why baseball is not only better than football, but why baseball is the greatest sport ever.
-Generally the masses are asses the masses like football over baseball which proves my point but I'll keep going to really drive it home.
-People complain about how baseball is slow, but baseball is a thinking man's game, it's not slow it's about the battle...maybe you're slow.
-"Quarterbacks have to ask the crowd to quiet down. Pitchers never do." - Thomas Boswell in 'Why is Baseball So Much Better Than Football' (1987, The Post)
-The nicknames are better in Baseball; The Flying Dutchman, Mr. October, Iron Man, and who could say Yogi doesn't make ya smile when you hear it.
-Having 162 games a year is 10.125 times better than having 16.
-Baseball is timeless, you can compare the demi-gods of yester year to the superstars of today. Football wasn't even the same sport 50 years ago as it is today.
-The Baseball Hall of Fame is in Cooperstown NY, the Football Hall of fame Canton OH. Have you ever been to Ohio??
-Baseball is more democratic, everyone gets a chance hit, field, and make a play.
-In Football if you're fat they stick you in the offensive line, In baseball if you're fat you're an offensive threat.
-Football has a time limit, 60 minutes then it's over, Baseball can last forever and do you know why that is?? You can't put a time limit on Greatness.
...And that is why baseball is the greatest sport ever.
Boom!
