Look, buddy, I don't care if your horse is sick. You're riding in the Kentucky Derby and that's final!!!

[Rick K says]

So the Azalea area voters may just all cancel out the most ardent POWW sign troops.... Good plan, Matt

Baker: I thought the payoff cash would be here.

Kalt: No, no, its over there, in the new Mercedes Benz we got you.

"Rick I'm looking smaller every day and you're not helping!"

"GET OFF THE FENCE"

"No, seriously, I think a Fantasy Island remake CAN work! And casting you as Tattoo is going to be great!"

[Ray F]

'dee plane boss, 'dee plane

Silverman: Dad can I have the car keys tonight.
Baker: Be home by 11.

[Clear Direction]

Baker: If the Ray's play their games at the Azalea Complex the folks may forget about the toxic plume.

Silverman: Well it seemed to work at the Trop.

"Short people got no-body,
Short people got NO-bo-dy,
Short people got no-body to love..."

"If you ask me one more time, 'How's the heat down there?...' I'm gonna open a little tiny can of Whip-Butt on you."

[Jeff]

Matt: "Mayor, I am sick of all the short jokes from all of these fans. I just don't think they are funny".

Rick: "Ease up little buddy, maybe they are just over your head".

Matt, just look down for a second, I need to sign this check.

[Mackine!]

If you open your eyes, you will see the light. Walk to the light; it is good. The light is glowing orange from a Rays win and on a clear night our friends in Ruskin will see the dome on the waterfront of St. Pete where it rightfully belongs.

Baker: "Stick your thumb out and close your hand"
Matt: "Like this?"

[Paul]

Baker: 'Hey, I got a joke, go ahead, pull my finger'

Matt: 'Get outta' here, you pulled that one on me last year, I'm not falling for that again.'

[Demetrios]

For the record, I have contributed to this blog in the past week or so using my first name, Demetrios.

The "Demetrios" post @4pm is not from me as I would never call ANYONE a troll especially since I do not know that person. I would also hope that using my name was not done maliciously. I will take the high road and assume that there is another Demetrios contributing, if you call it that.

[Ray F]

hahahaha

that's funny you posted that... because yesterday I read it and thought, """Wasn't that Demetrios guy for the stadium???"""

[Rick K]

Probably some ANTI using one of my assumed names that I use to cheerlead you and myself, Ray.

[Ray F]

yeah... probably.

I've not had too many people post things with my name.

Couple of times.

[Paul]

Baker: 'Hey, this is supposed to be a 'write the caption blog, what's with all this chit chat?'

Matt: 'Yeah, well those guys can't think of anything funny to say, they should go back over to one of the other blogs.'

:)

[Ray F]

Matt: So, uhh you wanna head over to Mons Venus? We can grab a burger on the way...

Rick: Nah, I gotta hang around here, I'm gonna try and get Longoria's autograph.

[Rick Baker]

Hey Matt, if I help you CARPETBAGGERS push this thing through to a vote, will you hook me up so I can upgrade from this cheap Timex to something a little more "downtown" like you're wearing?

[Kyle]

Silverman- "Mister, can I get you to buy me a six pack of beer?"

[get-smart]

Baker: OK, That looks good. Now stand on the north bound on-ramp to I275. When a car or truck stops to give you a lift, say to the driver, "I am going back to New York City. How far are you going?"

Matt: Wow! So, that's hitch hiking! Now I am excited.

[Ray F]

OK... This is going to require a lot of thought for some of you...

Matt: "Don't you think that shooting a sequel to 'My Giant' should have Billy Crystal in it???"

Rick: "No Matty, you'll do just fine. I'm more worried about my Romanian accent. Besides, not many people saw the original anyway."
