Party like it's 1929
Babe: ...so finally I demanded she take the kid in for a paternity test. As soon as I threatened that, suddenly she wasn't 100% sure the kid was mine anymore. No phone calls from her or her lawyer since then.
Omar: (shaking head) That's crazy, man. Kid doesn't even look like you anyway.
Babe: No kidding! I'm telling you man, girl was nuts.
Omar: So now that she's out of the picture, you free tonight after the game?
Babe: Only if your plans include beer, hot dogs, and flappers!
Omar: Nah, I was thinking we should take it easy tonight.
Babe: (confused) ...What?!
Omar: HA! I could barely even say that with a straight face! Babe, those are numbers one, two, and three through fifteen on tonight's agenda.*

three through fifteen?!?

Flappers? Nice historical reference, Phillips, well done indeed. I'm not sure I believe the dialogue at first, but now I'm definitely sold.
Viking said:
You're getting too good at that...
Sarah said:
Mmmm, flappers.
Glo said:
I think this is a true tribute to Charlie. Meaning the picture. (And maybe the womanizing - didn't know the man ;) )
Y'know...I thought I recognized you in the Baltimore museum housing the video of the famous called shot, but I thought it just a trick of the camera...

i'm surprised, omar. i would have thought that'd be a little too much fringe for you.

I think a lot of people don’t realize how important you were to the Babe’s legacy. No way he hits all those home runs if you’re not batting behind him. It’s to my understanding that he got a steady diet of fastballs because, as much as they hated facing him, they hated facing you even more. That’s understandable considering your lifetime batting average of .962.

Babe's illegitimate child is not exactly a well guarded secret. I mean, who hasn't heard of Baby Ruth?
By the way, stripes are very flattering on you, Omar. At least baseball pinstripes, anyway. I don't even want to think about prison stripes on you or you clad in an outfit of tiger or zebra stripes.

I need your autograph.
Nadia said:
Babe looks mighty pissed that the vertical stripes aren't working for him.
(Work it, Omar.)
wendela said:
Look at what I've been missing this past week! Man, you're older than I thought. And such a renaissance man, omar.
Cate said:
You both look so serious. Maybe that's because baseball is, oh, I don't know - completely boring?
wendela the dodgers fan said:
Cate, please try to not use the word "boring" and "baseball" in the same sentence. Try substituting "golf on t.v." instead of "baseball". Wait, then that'd make no sense with the picture of Babe and Omar. OK, nevermind.
Lia said:
I think you managed to cover every possible male stereotype. Congratulations.
I said:
Yeah, that was just so that I didn't give the impression of being "soft" after that last post. I had to turn up the testosterone a bit for this one.
