According to
insider reports,
Ozzie Guillen knows how he wants to die: on the field, mid-pitching change. He wants to die, be dragged off the field, and replaced instantaneously. In equally important news, the sky is blue and Kyle Farnsworth's favorite food is "hamburgers."
But no Ozzie sentence can go unanalyzed, so here is not only a comic about what he said, but about what he said before and after the comment with liberal existential nonsense from
WordupThome.
Tonight's Dugout is after the jump. That's it, bring in the next man.
The Dugout
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: /stares off into the distance wistfully |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: Tell me. How do you hope to die? |
 |
WordUpThome: SQUARSHED BY A CIRCUS TRAIN FULL OF CIRCUS ANIMALS |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: .... |
 |
WordUpThome: SO EN-TRANCED BY THE MAGESTIC HIPPOE AM I THAT I AM STRUCKEN DOWN MID-"HOWDY" |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: anyone else |
 |
YerMainGuy: I don't know, something quick and painless, I guess. Something I never see coming. |
 |
AsGoodAsItGetz: yeah or in my sleep |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: Hurm. /rubs chin |
 |
WordUpThome: FLATTER THAN A NO-DOLLARS PANNED-CAKE, THE CIRCUS CONTINUES ALONG ITS MERRIE WAY
|
 |
WordUpThome: WHY THE CONUNDRUM, CHUM |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: For some reason that must be important to others, I have been talking out loud about how I'd like to die. |
 |
YerMainGuy: What'd you decide? Something noble, I bet. |
 |
AsGoodAsItGetz: like dying in a plane crash trying to get relief aid to Nicaraguan earthquake victims |
 |
YerMainGuy: Or something really crazy and epic.. |
 |
AsGoodAsItGetz: like dying on New Years Eve trying to get relief aid to Nicaraguan earthquake victims because your presence would be enough to shame the corrupt government officials preventing the food from reaching its destination
and having exactly 3000 hits
|
 |
YerMainGuy: And people respecting and loving you forever, maybe naming an award after you |
 |
AsGoodAsItGetz: and having your best friend miss your funeral because he's busy deep sea diving trying to find your body |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: The hell? Who does that? No, I've got something much better. /raises arms, palms out |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: I. Want to die. On the field. |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: I hope when I walk to change the pitcher, I drop dead and that's it. |
 |
WordUpThome: YEPPO, THAT SOUNDS LOADS BETTER THAN THE UNDERWATER AIDS THING |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: I hope when I walk to change the pitcher, I drop dead and that's it. |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: I know my family would be so happy that it happened on the field. They wouldn't feel bad because that's what I've always wanted to do. |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: You die on the field - "good luck, get him out of here, next man." |
 |
YerMainGuy: That's the way you'd CHOOSE to die? Out of all the possible ways? Really? |
 |
AsGoodAsItGetz: hey now, don't get on coach's case, that sounds like the perfect way for him to die |
 |
WordUpThome: EXPOUND |
 |
AsGoodAsItGetz: our pitching staff gives him a brain aneurysm, he dies in front of everybody in the middle of the game, and we have to drag him off |
 |
YerMainGuy: I don't get it. |
 |
AsGoodAsItGetz: he dies the way he lived: blaming someone else, doing something stupid to be the center of attention, and being a burden to the baseball team |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: .... |
 |
OzzieOzzieOzzie: shut up, rookie |
| |
