In a softball game between the Lounge and GD
how many innings would it take before half of GD protested the game because the left-field fence favored right-handed batters and the other half protested because the right-field fence favored left-handed batters?

And who would win the resulting fight between GD:LF and GD:RF?

And who'd drink all the beer during the fight?

:popcorn:

1. i can only answer your last question
the loungers would be drinking all the beer, but that's not too tough a question to answer :P

but if i were to wager a bet, i'd say three innings, tops, for the fight to break out and the gd:rf would win the fight simply because there are more righties out there

3. I think the Lounge would start the fight and GD would finish it.
Amongst themselves.

5. I hadn't thought o' that
Meanwhile, we'd not only drink all the beer, we'd keep batting.

Scoreboard would look like this:

Lounge — :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

GD — x(

11. I think we'd score more than 11 popcorns
Especially if we kept batting while they duked it out.

19. Lounge would be debating the various colors of Peeps
and the GD crowd would be alerting on everyone for RACISM :)

8. No, Skinner = King Kong and The Hulk's lovechild in this metaphor.
Not a wise idea.

10. put me in coach...I wanna play centerfield!!!
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field.
A-roundin’ third, and headed for home, it’s a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Oh, put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.

Well, I spent some time in the mudville nine, watchin’ it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the mighty casey struck out.
So say hey willie, tell ty cobb and joe dimaggio;
Don’t say "it ain’t so", you know the time is now.



Yeah! I got it, I got it!

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch ’em all - a moment in the sun;
(pop) it’s gone and you can tell that one goodbye!



Yeah!
