Steinbrenner stars in weepy tv movie.

you can ALWAYS hate the yankees.

Good for the kid, very cool of him.
|
Zvon Feb 13 2006 11:15 PM |
Very kool of the old general.
|
Rockin' Doc Feb 13 2006 11:54 PM As much as it pains me to say it... |
Good of Steinbrenner to recognise the youngster's personal sacrifice. Good show by both of them.

Can't the Team Plane go down already
|

Dude if the team plane went down who would we root against?, plus can you imagine all the freaking movies they would make about the MFY?...
|
Elster88 Feb 14 2006 08:58 AM |
irish, you have to get over hating the Yankees so much. You're embarrasing me. You make Bret look right.
|
metirish Feb 14 2006 09:05 AM |
No I won't get over it, and I don't care who I embarrass and Bret is never right.

Ok...how does a 13 year old save $1,000? When I was thirteen I think the highest total I ever reached might have been, oh, $30 or so.

This doesn't make me hate the Yankees any less.

Definitely from the tooth fairy.

Bar Mitzvah?
|
metirish Feb 14 2006 11:22 AM |
Bar Mitzvah? -- in Arkansas?
|
Centerfield Feb 14 2006 11:28 AM |
Perhaps I'm too cynical...the $1,000.00 (kids never have $1,000.00, they have $827.42, they have $924.86, they NEVER have $1,000.00)...the way it conveniently found it's way to Steinbrenner's desk...if I had to guess, I would say it's more likely a publicity stunt than it is a feel-good story.

You will note that the kid's name is Billy Joe Bob Schwartzbergstein.
|
Edgy DC Feb 14 2006 11:36 AM |
A guess.
|
Elster88 Feb 14 2006 02:55 PM |
Maybe I'm just selfish, but what idiot donates a grand to their school when they're 13? What a loser.
|
seawolf17 Feb 14 2006 03:14 PM |
Who would you rather give a thousand dollars to? A non-profit organization, or George Steinbrenner? Hell, I started twitching when I bought $30 in Yankee Bucks for my MFY fan friend's 30th birthday.

Why not keep it? He's 13 years old.

Don't be mean to the 13 year-olds. They might be sharpie's kids. And where's your Guns N' Roses set list?
|
metirish Feb 14 2006 03:20 PM |
|
Elster is like way too busy complaining about stuff to make a list.
|
Elster88 Feb 14 2006 03:27 PM |
I'm not complaining. Just stating that normal 13 year olds spend their own money.
|
ScarletKnight41 Feb 14 2006 03:59 PM |
My almost 13-year-old gave a portion of his Bar Mitzvah money to the American Jewish World Services. But it wasn't $1,000.
|
Elster88 Feb 14 2006 04:26 PM |
I should clairfy, I don't think there's anything wrong with a kid donating money. But it sounds like this kid saved up $1,000, which I'm guessing took a while, and then just decided to give it all away.

Yo KC. Make your Natalie Portman pic smaller.
|
KC Feb 14 2006 04:57 PM |
Fits fine on my screen, Mr. Mayor.
|
Elster88 Feb 14 2006 04:58 PM |
I knew if I said that you wouldn't like it. You are very touchy when people tell you what to post.
|
KC Feb 14 2006 05:07 PM |
I don't recall anyone telling me what to post, so I don't know what your

Elster88 Feb 14 2006 05:13 PM |
Touchie beef? I don't have one.
|
MFS62 Feb 14 2006 06:09 PM |
WOW!
|
KC Feb 14 2006 06:40 PM |
Alrighty then ... Willet thinks I'm angry, Elster88 beefs about my being touchy
|
Elster88 Feb 15 2006 09:00 AM |
KC. All I said was that you get touchy if people tell you what to post. I'm not angry because of it, I don't have a beef because of it, I'm not touchy because of it. I was merely stating it.

KC Feb 15 2006 03:15 PM |

I don't know how else to say it.
|
Centerfield Feb 15 2006 04:11 PM |
Without taking sides, I just wanted to point out that KC is a really, really big guy.
|
Elster88 Feb 15 2006 04:13 PM |
I doubt this will come to fisticuffs.

KC Feb 15 2006 04:28 PM |
Like most wookies, I sometimes have trouble conveying to people that I'm joking -

How did the characters from Mutts get into Star Wars? PS - Wookie Wilson, I love it! PPS - I wasn't singling KC out, but he maybe he already knows that. I can never tell when he's jokey pissed and really pissed.
|
ScarletKnight41 Feb 15 2006 04:42 PM |
That wookie has WAY more hair than Kase!
|
Centerfield Feb 15 2006 04:48 PM |
Oops. Didn't even see the Mutts characters when I posted.

Edgy DC Feb 17 2006 02:08 PM |
Head-scratcher of a headline, that can be really fun if you take literally.
