Just watched the movie "Field of Dreams". At the end of the movie Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) asks his Dad, "Hey... Dad? You wanna have a catch?"

I always called it "playing catch" not "have a catch". I assumed it was an error in the movie until I saw the writers doing an interview and they repeatedly called it "having a catch".

I just wondered what others call it. I assume that since the writer is from Long Island, NY he doesn't know what they call it in Iowa.

It was always "playing catch" for me growing up. "Have a catch" sounds vaguely . . . sexual.

Not to me. To me, "have a catch" sounds like some snooty rich kid that would probably grab his glove, go out in the yard, and watch the butler and maid toss the ball back and forth.

You say "chips", I say "french fries".
You say "pop", I say "soda".

You "toMAHto", I say "Shut up you pretentious prick..."

It's worse than that, Cheesey.

If you ever hear someone ask you to "have a catch" with a ball and glove, I can pretty much guarantee he is some fruity fella from Europe that actually believes soccer is worth more than a complete reflection on the flaminality of their whole society...

I would consider a nice punch in the mouth an act of patriotism...

"Have a catch that, bitch."

I was fine until non started with his commie bullshit regarding those twerps in the wikileak pipeline. If I could just get a nice solid grip on the skinny little neck of any one of them, I'd calm down. :thumbleft:

dfosterf (41m) : Feelin' pfowish can't find the sun. No big deal, will drag a laptop out when the time comes
Zero2Cool (57m) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon
dfosterf (59m) : Can't find the toggle, lol
dfosterf (59m) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .
Zero2Cool (1h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.
dfosterf (1h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes
dfosterf (1h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same
dfosterf (1h) : *Friday*
dfosterf (1h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy
dfosterf (2h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)
dfosterf (2h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
dfosterf (2h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
Zero2Cool (2h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
dfosterf (2h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40
dfosterf (2h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in
packerfanoutwest (2h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
beast (2h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (2h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based
beast (2h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based
beast (2h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?
dfosterf (3h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol
dfosterf (3h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.
dfosterf (3h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise
dfosterf (3h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...
beast (9h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
