Oh, Dave, I've been waiting for this thread to be exciting again. Thanks! Yours are just great. I suspect this isn't the first time you've written DDs.

I remember visiting my good friend Jerry in Hawaii, and he had some guests over. With a twinkle in his eye, he leaned over and whispered to me, "Please note that (I can't remember the friend's name now) has a perfect DD name." Remember that, Jer?

Kalleh my friendly neighbor's double-dactylic name is Werner Van Heidendahl.

Oh, yes! We had fun with that, didn't we?

Nice, Jer.

I was raised in a very conservative Republican family who thought Roosevelt was a demon. It took me a lot of years to realize the truth.

William was way too conservative for me, but you had to respect his language skills. And to think I could have used "octogenarian," too! I tried, but it didn't make much sense.

The Cubs are on fire! They have the second best record in all of baseball!

Go Red Sox

Oh my. A Red Sox fan.

I am not worried about the Red Sox. It'll be the LA Angels.

Something will happen to the Cubs, though, either in the World Series or in the play-off games. The goat is still around. There will be a Buckner's between-the-legs error or a Steve Bartman fan interference or something. We all know it and are prepared.

Nothing to do with DD but can anyone explain why, after winning the World Series with facial and head hair, traded Red Sox players are required (I'm too polite to say forced) by their new teams to either shave faces or shorten hair length.

Sorry for the typo, Jer. I've edited the post.

,,,, and I've deleted mine.

In that context I wouldn't know a typo if I saw one. It was the between-the-legs thing that got to me ......

Oh, I am sorry. It's actually very convoluted, because the error (ball going between the legs) actually happened to the Red Sox, and not the Cubs. However, because Buckner had been with the Cubs, and because he had worn a Chicago Cubs batting glove underneath his fielding mitt during a crucial World Series error, the Cubs fans feel that's part of their curse of not winning.

I think you had to be there...

At least I was too polite to point out your (er). . . oversight.

I don't get it, Proofreader. I just went over my meter again, and it seems right.
