I recently went digging through some old *wtf stuff and found this gem. Hilarious. Nice post. That is all.

Yeah, I loved it too. Contestant vetting was kinda lax back then...

I hope you're still alive!

Y'know, I went looking for a reference to cite to show you that with two outs and a runner on, a third strike was an automatic out regardless of whether it was caught. Turns out I was wrong and you were right. Of course there were two outs, that's why the other team in the vid thought the inning was over after the strikeout. And with two outs, it doesn't matter where any runners are. I'm pretty sure I argued on the wrong side of that rule in little league AND in high school--and I'm pretty sure I won at least one of those arguments. (If this msg seems long and needless, it's only cuz I've just finished drinking what now looks like a 2 liter can of Kirin beer, after downing my first of hopefully many rounds of snake blood mixed with booze followed by venom mixed with booze followed by ginseng mixed with booze. Man I love Taipei.)

OK, but maybe there were 2 outs? With 2 outs, a dropped third strike is in play no matter what.

In reply to this comment by RhesusMonk:
Nah, check out the thumbnail shot. The runner starts the play on first, hence the yellowing of the the base in the little heads up display in the bottom right.

In reply to this comment by nibiyabi:
True, but there was only a runner on second.

In reply to this comment by RhesusMonk:
I'm sure no one will ever see this comment, but there is no dropped third strike if there is a runner on first. I was a catcher for many years and if there's a man on first base, it doesn't matter if the ball rolls into the dugout, it's an out and there is no play to first.

Thanks for the heads up. What you're probably seeing is just the link to the next or previous part. I think that from the main sifted page they just appear as text and not a link.

The summaries and titles of your Clinton/TDS posts are switched. Awesome posts, btw.

Yeah, i joined initially and didn't post anything for the longest time. Then i decided to start getting involved, though i don't see that i'll gain status any time soon. Yeah, Flight of Dragons was the VHS i wore out watching as a kid. Such a trip seeing all that stuff again.

In reply to this comment by RhesusMonk:
Wow, "member since" quite a while ago. Not much of a poster, eh? That's ok, we won't hold it against you. LOVE the Flight of Dragons thing you got goin' on. Also, love the handle: ever been to the river Claydee? Down by the valley so shady? (If you don't get what I'm talking about, sorry for seeming insane )

Nice!
And the description was funny as hell, too!

In reply to this comment by RhesusMonk:
Dunno if you'll think this is funny or lame. I almost lost my shit.

Yeah, definitely very strong, which I why I posted it. There should be an uproar over that disgusting insanity.

However, not snuff according to Sift guidelines because it's not just sensationalism or for shock value; it's an important news/documentary piece.

In reply to this comment by RhesusMonk:
Hey, um, I suppose you're more of an official than anyone else here, but I just wanted to point out that the PETA vid you posted a little while ago is some strong shit and might be considered snuff, at least by PETA anyway. I gave it an upvote, cuz it deserves to be seen, but I don't know, it's pretty wicked.
