    For the record, I have graduated from cornflakes & beer to Kashi & Vodka.

    [sm=rotfl.gif]Goin' top-shelf, are we?

     
    Well of course.  I could be considered high maintenance.  I have moved up to Kashi & McCormick's Vodka nonetheless.  ($5.15 a gallon)[&:]

    Dear 3-Head-
    I am a single, available woman who has come to realize that despite my giant intellect, my superior social skills, and magnificent beauty, I just can't seem to attract the right man.  
     
    It seems all my hopes for being part of a couple in this area hinges on my ability to  follow, enjoy, and converse about the Boston Red Sox.  Living just an hour north of Boston, there is no chance to avoid this, and I am in a perpetual cycle of friends attempting to set me up on dates...only to be dashed by my lack of experience (or enthusiasm over) the Sox.  Despite my affirmative answers that I love sports like football, basketball, hockey, etc, all deals are off when I reveal that I don't watch, understand, or enjoy baseball - let alone any particular team.
     
    So, my question is, can you provide counseling or guidance for someone with Sox-aul disfunction? 
    Desperate for foul balls-

    Dear smelly-man lover, (get it- "foul balls"- i crap myself up!)
     
    i am not qualified to answer this question, seeing as how lack of baseball knowledge is a deal-breaker for me....
     
    but if i HAD to suggest something, i would suggest trying to meet someone who isn't american, seeing as how all of new england is possesed with "bo-sox" rabies, especially at this time of year.  that or move to a city with a crappy team, or no team at all.....

    I have only this to say....Disturbing.[:'(][:'(][:'(]
     
    Sara, you know that soap & water will help with that whole foul ball situation.  Just to be nice, I'll mail you some soap & a gallon of water if you really need it.

    ohh i think we're gonna need a whole lot more than a gallon........................
     
    (read this any way you like:  either, the balls are that far into foul territory, or they are large enough to require far more than a gallon's worth of water....[sm=devil.gif])

    Are there no classes or counseling I can take, to cure me of my Sox-ual disfunction?  Your response has led me to believe it's incurable and only manageable by moving to another country, considering Red Sox Nation expands well beyond the borders of New England.  
     
    Also, I meant to add, that I am positive my arrogance is not the cause of my solitude.  Cosmo magazine has reassured me several times that men like self-confidence (as well as well-endowed frontal lobes).  So, it's narrowed down to this Sox thing.  I feel confident I could learn to enjoy it, if watching one game out of, what, 150-something?, didn't chew up several hours of a day.  Is there an accelerated Sox-immersion plan available? 
     
    I'm hoping the other heads have alternative advice to provide...

    Dear C-head,

    Perhaps you should get help for that? [sm=blush.gif]

    Dear sox-ually inept,

    the best way to immerse yourself in red sox nation is to GO TO A GAME, especially a game they are inclined to win!  do not go to a yankees- sox game; they're too intense for beginners[;)]  i tell you, the energy is contagious!

    i would be happy to give you a crash course in sox-uality, if you feel it's the only answer.  i find learning quite easy because the uniforms are so becoming!  ETA your first lesson is in my avatar.

    best regards,

    sox addict

    Well your idea of wearing the glove to bed is a good one, but I think that you may be better protected if you double gloved & carried Lysol at all times.  Always remember that "foul balls" are never allowed to be on/in the nice clean playing field.  The field is sacred & doesn't need to be soiled by a set of "foul balls".

    Knowing nothing of the game, and therefore which games the Sox would be inclined to win,which team would you suggest?  Judging by the prices on Stub Hub, it looks like tickets/packages range from $19 - $132,500 - how on earth do you suggest I support this habit?  Not many of the Sox men around here are particularly endowed in the wallet.
     
    No longer desperate for foul balls, but certainly for bulging wallets-

    Oh, I understand now.  So if dirty playing field & foul balls go together.  My only question is... Did the dirty playing field make the balls foul or vice versa?
