RandolphScott Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Oh motherfucker, that means I'm handing out switchblades so all the home boys can cut each other. Fuck me. If the Mets want to educate fans about the diversity of New York City, stop trying to educated them on one god damn race, the Spanish. Sometimes this organization is just a clusterfuck.

I remember when Irish Night they would have a band come out and play. Might as well call it Stereotypical night. Pakistani Night? I guess I'm giving out C4 explosives. I'm waiting for a day when the Mets institute a "Drug User Day" where we give out free heroin dimebags and complementary spoon & syringe if you want to inject or mirror if you want to snort.
