The official: Be a Giant for Halloween fanpost

I had an idea for an Omar Vizquel costume: my jersey and cap, my glove covered in gold tinfoil, a plush kangaroo to carry around with me (in a backpack, let’s say), and a sock or something stuffed in the front of my pants. Only Giants fans would get it, though.

Is it okay for me not to get the kangeroo part?

Omar owns pet wallabies.

It's not true

Apparently, he owns wallaroos.

I can’t find plush wallabies or wallaroos. Kangaroos have to be the best bet.

It might be that SB doesn’t like SmugMug. Next time use the share button and pick a direct link to use. That one was the medium sized direct link.
I had never heard of SmuMug until now, seems pretty slick.

by chilibean_3 on Oct 13, 2008 10:07 AM PDT up 0 recs

The URL you used was invalid. For an image, the path will always end in .jpg, .pdf, .gif, .png – where you would usually see a .com (depending on the type of file). That’s what lets it be an image and not a web-page.

“under 20” ? So the rest of us do what? Pass out the candy?

Actually the statement is "Under 21" and "Over 21"

The under 21 get candy, the over 21 drink alcohol.

For my birthday, my friend gave me two wrapped gifts, a small box and a shirt sized box. He said the two went together, but I had to open the small box first. In the small box was those fake hillbilly teeth you wear for Halloween. My friend was laughing his ass off thinking it was the funniest joke. In the other box was a Lincecum jersey.

My friend is a Met fan.
