OT: Mariah Carey's First Pitch at a baseball game.
I saw this video on YouTube this morning and I thought I'd share the laugh.
It wasn't just the first pitch that was funny to me, but the whole setup. Mascots and all...

Do any of you have other funny "first pitches" that you can remember?

Did you notice
the long camera pan up her legs?
This possibly beats Roseanne as the most ridiculous celebrity-related sporting mishap.
On second thought, no. No one can top Roseanne.

slight correction
A camera “tilts” up and down, and “pans” left and right. Sorry, it’s part of my job.

I can't believe
How many people look like absolute idiots throwing out the first pitch. You can bet your ass that if somehow in my life I was able to throw out the first pitch at a ML game, I would be practicing my ass off to get it right.
It pretty much disgusts me when a perfectly healthy person gets up there and bounces one to the plate. What a waste of an opportunity. It’s not that far to throw a baseball people. If you can’t do it, then decline the invitation.
BTW I did not watch the video so I have no idea if she made it to the plate or not, but I’m just guessing.
It’s fine if it’s some 100 year old guy tho, I understand that :)
Eugeniooooooo!!!!

she bounced it
about three feet away from her. looks like she held on to the ball way too long before letting go.

Man, Mariah Carey is sizzling hot, but she looks like she’s beyond high maintenance. Derek Jeter had the right idea, hit it and run. Nick Cannon must be out of his mind.

I would have expected her throw to be bad, but not that bad.

I didn’t notice the first time I saw it, but the Giants are the Home team.

The Mayor was a good sport
He appeared on Jimmy Kimmel later after the event. He said got advice from many people including Pete Rose, and that he practiced beforehand! Jimmy joked, “are you sure you’re right handed?” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtFGLbsidZc&feature=related

I'm not sure which sign you are thinking of, but this one is appropriate.

Primate sexuality is a really interesting sub-field. It’s basically wall to wall sex. What’s not to like?

Oh no you didn't !!! You just triggered a flashback !!
So in college I took an Anthropology class and dammit if we didn’t spend the better part of three weeks discussing relative genitalia size and it’s correlation to primate mating habits.
I have no idea how that was supposed to make me a better Architect, but ya…whatever. I’m pretty sure that by the seventh time I was taking Racquetball, I’d pretty much taken everything from that course and applied it to my future field of work.

Wow we didn’t even touch on that sort of thing. I was mostly amused at how bonobos use sex as their main social interaction. Males with males and females with females (and mostly females with females as females are dominant in bonobo groups) are the main pairs for social interaction with sex, while males with females is just used for mating.
I’m not sure what a polisci major like me would glean from watching a video where female bonobos are doing it, but I got an A in the class so I won’t complain.

It was so good they made a “real men of genius” viral spot about it. (not sure how the obnoxious laughing got tacked onto the end of the video though)
