I'm no fan of the dog pile or uneven sides, but Chico mate, you're alienating people left right and center with your attitude. You wouldn't walk up to a group of long-time friends in a bar and start talking over them and make loud assumptions about them based on nothing at all then get defensive when they call you on it. That's called aspergers. My advice is to try and play nice for a little while, keep it a little lower key and get to know posters. Smiley face emoticon.

I will assume that is an even trade and be flattered.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

No, we also have to accept Stepper in the deal.

Okay is he always called Nick Markakis or just it just seem like he's always called Nick Markakis. I want to know because I hate the Yankees and don't use my real name on the internet.

He's actually only called Nick Markakis 30% of the time.

Look into my eyes, Hooky. I care. I exist. And I'm sexy. My sexy eyes are 33.3% sexier than Derek Jeter's sexy eyes. Do you think I'm sexy, Hooky? Because I am and I can prove it. How, you ask? I'm sexy every time I bat against the Yankees, especially Andy Pettitte. Wait, what?

Doesn't really matter because he doesn't play for a team that's won, how many championships is it? twenty-something, I think. I wish that number was more widely known.

Yes, after all, a word has a single meaning that holds the same in every possible context and forever.
