Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

I'm sure that's very clever and all.
I just didn't understand a word of it

Lovely chap you posted a pic of. I was scared for a second that you'd got yourself pierced. Yes, yes, I know. I am bloody awful with faces - said it before and will say it again.

So, reading between the lines and still needing subtitles - because I don't understand the American terms for the various years, you got yourself some tail?! (as opposed to no-tail, in a League of Gentlemen stylee?)

You go boyo!

ETA - every time I tried to load the 16 things (or whatever it was) it took my system into smackdown

It's some lyrics from a famous song in the States. It's about the excitement of two people engaged in foreplay about to enter into actual intercourse. It uses the euphemism of making it to home plate in baseball and scoring, and is told from the point of view of a young man.

edit: what Pie said. Also, it's a favorite at wedding receptions.

Though actually, things are over with the cute junior. He wanted a real relationship, and I can't really do that right now. On the other hand I've got a real good thing going with a purple-haired freshman girl now, so... =]

it felt really weird giving the 'sorry, I can't handle an emotional thing, let's just be friends' thing to a guy older than me. but, hell - i'm in college, i'm a freshman, i'm gonna have me my fun.

I love that college kids still do that! My dorm-mates and I would act out the baseball game in the hallway...way back when.

Once when we were high, my friends and I made a move for every baseball term we could think of.

But, by the way we defined it, Ibram's boy would be getting jail time....

...and in news just in, the odds of Ibram getting any actual study done as a freshman have been revised to 1 in 850...

Nah, I bet he can get a tutor. Those college seniors love helping the young freshies get up to speed.

Every house has a safe sex kit, complete with condoms, lube, and... Latex gloves. Condoms are not in short supply.
