Grant's Gift and Apology

by Poe on Feb 12, 2007 6:52 PM PST Comment 15 comments

Hi everyone,

At long last, Grant's holiday gift has been purchased. I apologize for the long delay and hope I didn't make anyone too worried.

Grant will receive:

$350 worth of Giant's gift cards good for merchandise and such fun things. (Grant, if you spend it on an Edgardo autographed ball, we will have words.)

A $340 donation is his name to the Giant's community fund, cause we're all do-gooders he at MCC.

Once again, I am sorry for the long delay and won't bother you with excuses about why. Thanks to everyone who gave money and participated, and of course:

Nice site Grant!

Ah, lost it all at the tracks hoping to score big, and had to save it back up again the last few months.

It's cool. We've all been there.

Congratulations Grant

Re: Congratulations Grant

This is Phase One. Phase Two begins with a hecatomb or two.

The Giants fans on this website are good people.

THAT was uncalled for

Now, don't be getting mushy on us.

(Just keep the site out of this and send E a Valentine, privately.)

Re: THAT was uncalled for

Yeah. Like those Vermont teddy bear commercials that keep playing on the Jim Rome radio show. Theme Teddy Bears at $100 a pop. Just what the country was missing.

My favorite is the Hannibal Lector bear, followed closely by Goldilocks and the three Hussein bears--Paper, Rock, Scissors or whatever the fuck his two dead kids were named. The Charles Manson Family Bears rampage through Jellystone Park was one of my favorite Yogi Bear cartoon episodes. Especially when Booboo impaled himself on one of Sammy Sosa's exploding corked bats.

$350 can buy a lot of Mando Time t-shirts. Think about it.

Re: Grant's Gift and Apology

Yeah, I saw that, but I'm more than willing to set up some sort of trade. A jersey for a Mando? That would be a bargain!

Re: Grant's Gift and Apology

Just go to the Build a Bear shoppe at the Fan Lot. They have cows, right? Put a cow in a Giants jersey and you have instant Mando. Or is that an insult to our bovine friends?
