    I considered driving over for a Looch today.
    Taking the five year old to see Sonic at the movies, instead.  
    Something tells me The Looch would be better entertainment than Sonic will be, but gotta enjoy the time w/the little dude.

    Did the party go well?

    We are lucky that the kid's birthday is in June so we can do a pool party and invite family over and grill up some meat.  In another year or two he will be old enough to have his "friends" party as.a pool party as well.  Much cheaper than the route we go now, but I'm not in favor of 20 five year olds in the pool and half of their parents not paying attention.
    Party was nice. Thanks for asking. Just a couple real close friends and then family. Was a good time. The baby girl was awesome and had a blast. Food was a big time hit. A great day. May/June/July bdays are good. Doesn’t sound like a damn thing wrong with that set up

    But yeah, the food was banging. Everyone loved it

    Frankly I don't wanna talk about it. Too much to process right now.

    I feel like I’m more upset over a mascot that I should be....he looks like a fucking imposter though. Subtle changes, my ass. When it looks the same for your whole life then suddenly grows wings, gills, a bigger/different shade blue tale....it’s not the same dude. Eyebrows are fucked up too. 

    I’ve heard conflicting reports over who is to blame (one thing I saw said the Phils offered those jokers $20M?). Hopefully this is just a one off until they settle and then old school Phanatic parachutes into the stadium with Kite Man’s next of kin and murders this weirdo in gruesome fashion before a sellout crowd to leave no doubt. And the blood stains should not be washed off.

    Or maybe he encounters Gritty in a dark alley somewhere.
    This weekend we rock Portland

  • I don't even get the point of the "redesign." Why add blue to the tail and above the eyes? And is that the only change? I wouldn't have even known about this if not for this thread.

    It's to try and prove that he has organically morphed into their own mascot over the years as opposed to the creators original version. The creators are alleging they somehow have the rights to renegotiate the deal they signed with the Phils after 35 years....which just so happens to be this summer. So to avoid paying these people the Phillies made the Phanatic look like a cheap Chinese knock off.

    That’s lame. They made the greatest mascot of all-time. The franchise should appreciate them. Think of how much Phanatic merch has been sold.

    Was listening to Jason Segel on Bill Simmons and they were talking David Foster Wallace a bit. This Is Water briefly came up.  Always worth an annual listen.

    I'm happy for those who will find pleasure in this but I have no interest in going to the movies unless I am going to watch a movie.  
    (Not helped by the fact that I don't like either one of the two released songs.  (I don't mind the music to Superdog Sillylyrics))
    Hope you enjoy if you go, Dave!

    I don't really have much interest in this.  sitting around a movie theater listening to music doesn't excite me even with some visuals supposedly.  not my thing.  i do like the two new songs though. 

    bit concerned about the tour with the coronavirus. afraid some cities might pull the plug on big events.  heading to the Nashville show. would suck if got cancelled
