Four Dodger Dogs, two sodas: $27
Crushing heads with my stepson: Priceless
Watching the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles blow a one-run lead in the 8th to lose to the Cubs: Sadly predictable.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference the los angeles flatheads:
These are the stories Wil loves to tell, because they are the closest to his heart: stories about being a huge geek, passing his geeky hobbies and values along to his own children, and vividly painting what it meant to grow up in the ’70s and come of age in the ’80s as part of the video game/D&D/BBS/Star Wars figures generation.
Lol. That's pretty cool. I like this picture, too. That's a really neat picture.

I know the feeling. My LAAoA blew a five run lead, including our closer walking a run home to tie it in the 9th. At least there are 162 games...

Bwahahahaha .... oh wait ... my mighty Mets have now lost 2 of 3 to the Braves.

As a diehard Cubs fan, I can only say...
nanner nanner nanner.
Too bad it wasnt a sweep. =P

I'm a Cubs fan, much like SandieK. However, I'm a realist. And, typically, I find myself saying that it is "sadly predictable" when the Cubs lose. Nice for it to turn around every once in a while.
Great photo, BTW. I used to do the whole head squeeze thing until one day at school when I did it to someone speaking to my class and he did it right back to me. Never did it again.

4 hot dogs and 2 sodas for $27???
Jesus Tapdancing Christ!
Ah well...ya gotta do what ya gotta do...and a baseball game without hotdogs just isn't the same I guess.
But GEEZ!
Posted by: Jennifer | April 20, 2006 at 11:55 AM
Priceless, yes. But did you have a running commentary in a fake French accnet as you mercilessly cushed their heads? Such as, "I shall crush ze hid: crush, crush!" And something about farting in their general direction...
Posted by: KaliAmanda | April 20, 2006 at 11:59 AM
Wil,
When you go to games (and places of the like) do youg et a lot of people bugging you or pointing and saying "Hey! It's Wil Wheaton!!!'"
Just always curious what it was like for you (and other celebrities) to go to such a public event
Posted by: buntz | April 20, 2006 at 12:18 PM
*pokes kapgar* Cubs seem to have a good start. The last couple seasons wouldve looked better if the Cardys hadnt gotten a huge 10+ game advantage on the rest of the league.
I should be quiet before I jinx them.
Posted by: SandieK | April 20, 2006 at 12:35 PM
Poor Dodgers. I have a $10 bet with my brother that we'll at least make the wildcard this year. There's still time, but nobody blows a lead like LA. Say, do the Dodger score dispays at the stadium still refer to the Angels as ANA?

"crushing their heads, crushing their heads". Sorry I couldnt resist.
Posted by: essbee | April 20, 2006 at 03:22 PM
Head crushing is contagious. I'm proud to say that I have gotten entire sections of sports stadiums to crush heads and speak in bad French accents. If your team is getting their asses whipped, crush heads!

***the los angeles flatheads***
Could have been worse Wil...
They could have been *Two Giant "Bobble Heads" sitting in front of you!!!...
hahahaha

Amex has a contest where you write one of their "priceless" ads. You should submit one based on this.

As a long time Cubs fan I have to say "w00t" for the homeboys (yea okay I'm old and don't use the "modern" vernacular).
However they've been faithfully reliable over the years. I was a Bears fan too but then they went and got into the Superbowl so the trip was over, I could finish being a Bears fan. Not so with the Cubbies.
And Kali forgot the elderberries!

Well hey, at least you can take pride in the fact that you sidelined DLee for 6 to 8 weeks with a wrist injury so we'll be feeling the pain of that dodgers game for a while...
Posted by: Princess Maigrey | April 21, 2006 at 07:16 AM
If you like head crushing you should check out the first season of "Kids in the Hall". I think that was the first time I was exposed to head crushing.
On another note....my system has been hacked and I was wondering if anyone can recommend security downloads I can get that are techno moron friendly?

Looking at those prices, maybe there are good things in being mired in MiLB land (our team is the Birmingham Barons the team Michael Jordan made famous).
Going to a ballgame with the kids: no question there.
But as for teams: GO DETROIT TIGERS!
Posted by: harperbruce | April 22, 2006 at 07:19 AM
Go Cubbies!

Is the dude on the left wearing an Izzy Alcantara jersey? If so, then you should be happy he didn't know you were crushing his head, or you might have gotten a karate kicked
Posted by: Max | April 22, 2006 at 02:40 PM
At least the Dodgers lost to a much better team. :P
Posted by: sburstall | April 27, 2006 at 05:13 AM
ahhh. now that brought back some brilliant kids in the hall memories...
Posted by: mainja | April 30, 2006 at 08:04 PM
Could be worse. You could be in KC watching the Royals set a new all-time MLB loss record. (On course to set a third consecutimve 100+ loss season)
If only the head-crushing worked on the Ownership....
