M: Yeah, but it's good to see you all.  Did anything interesting happen to you over the summer?

D: Your mom happened over the summer.

T: Those jokes never get old.

D: No, they really don't.  But I'll tell you all something interesting that happened to me this summer.

D: So I was back in Kansas.  The Royals has just dropped two in a row to the Cardinals. As I'm leaving a bar after
a night of heavy drinking in Lawrence, I say "Cardinals suck". Four kids in red shirts take some issue with this, so I ask when the last world title they won was. They respond with '67, so I respond with the fact that KC beat St Louis in '85, and they got rocked last year by the Sox.

Five minutes later, as I'm getting in my friend's car with my brother, they come running up and shove us in the car and state some shit about the Cards being great. A five minute donnybrook breaks out, with us being wildly confused. A brawl over the Royals? What the fuck?

So. we shove them a few times, they throw some punches at the air, and we
excuse ourselves from the altercation with a ripped shirt and a scraped knee,
flabbergasted that the '85 Series could incite such feelings.

It was the strangest night of my life, I must say.

B: Oh My God.

E: Ohmigod, you got into a fight?

D: No I just made up the whole story. Why would I lie about that?

E: I just can't believe you'd get into a fight.

B: No kidding, not innocent little D.

T: More surprising is that it was over the Royals.  Even the Tigers are better.

D: Don't even start.

T: Lima time, Lima time, Lima time!

D: Ugh.

M: Wow.  So what did you do B?
