Well, It Seemed Like a Good Idea

[billroper]

So we're sitting at dinner and daisy_knotwise says to me, "What if we get some silly ribbons printed for Capricon?"

And I respond, "Well, the theme this year is fantasy. How about some ribbons that say 'The Cubs Win the Pennant!'?"

I don't think this deserved having food thrown at me.

*laughing out loud* But is that high fantasy or low fantasy?

Oww.

Hmmphf. "Got Grid?" it is, then.

Cubs win!

Cubs win '07 World Series. It's even true. Okay, it was the 1907 World Series, but it's still true.

LOL!

To quote Shoe, from the late great Jeff MacNelly....
"So it's root, root, root for the Cubbies
If they don't win it's the same...."

Now if the theme was more Alternate History maybe....

*(grin)* or indeed, from the late great Steve Goodman, in his cover of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame":

"And it's root root root for the home team
If they don't win" (pause, mutters): "what else is new..."

I like the '07 angle, above. :)

That's not fantasy, that's delusion. [g,d,r]

More of a Fantasy would be "The Jays win the penant" or "The Leafs win the Stanley Cup"

I'd like one please. Please... PLEASE!

Eh, you're a parent now. Get used to food being thrown at you.

Yeah, but the Jays HAVE won the pennant.

The Cubs winning the pennant isn't fantasy -- it's a sign of the apocalypse.

I suspect that the Cubs' odds of winning the pennant next season are substantially greater than the 'Nats. To revive and modify the old adage...Washington: first in war, first in peace, and last in the National League...
