Well, it's a great day today on the half-bakery!

That's right, Bob, there's not a cloud to be seen anywhere on the site.

Not so fast, Tom, I think I see a "Cloud Zeppelin" off in the distance.

Well, Bob, you're right, and I don't even know what that is, but it's coming this way. Do you think it will affect the game today?

I don't think so.

It looks like we're about to get started... Jutta is already warmed up and I think I see Unabubba walking toward his computer.

Is he standing on his head?

No, but I think he's Australian. Yeah, he probably thinks we're all standing on our heads.

Looks like FarmerJohn is already out in the field.

You know Tom, FarmerJohn is usually out standing in his field.

Well, that's what Farmer's do.

Good grief! Look out there Bob! It looks like we've got a streaker on the site.

I don't know about a streaker Tom, but that woman sure is naked. And what's she doing out there anyway?

(laughing), I don't know Bob, but it looks like she's shopping for shoes... is that a Monkey out there with her?

I think this is going to be a really great game today!

I think Bristolz is starting to draw. Yeah, Bob, and I can hear Vernon typing. Looks like we might end up in overtime tonight.

What a game.

(apologies in advance to those mentioned above and to Professor Schickele of PDQ Bach fame who did a bit years and years ago that helped to inspire this one)

       .... but wait - there are dark clouds looming, and now it's starting to rain a plague of fishbones - just like that famous scene at the conclusion of Magnolia.

       Now, who is voting against this one and not leaving annos? I actually thought it was rather funny. Guess it's more of an "inside" joke... inside MY head.

       not me - said the fly to the spy der. I was neutral.

       + though I don't really like sports announcers, I do think this sounds like fun.

       //Maybe it was the heretical suggestion that there are times when UB is actually away from his computer// You're probably on to something there. I do suppose that may have been a bit careless.   

       I also probably failed to fully get across the general air-headedness of sports color announcers.

       "Now, Bob, let's take a look at this idea. From the look of it, it's a bit of a stinker."   

       "That's right Tom, it's got a lot of fishbones right now and only a few buns, but it's early in the game. We'll just have to wait and see.   

       Back to you Bob..."   

       "Bob?... Bob!... Get down from there! Give ME the banana Bob... now get down!" <holding head in hands> Why does he do this? <hhih>
