See it all the time. A word here, a word there, we try to figure out what's going on, sometimes we overfigure. This site has been known to do this.
I'm going to do it now.
Today's Picking Games Against an Unlucky P1.
Caller: Vinny.
We learn that Vinny is in "tax."
Musers: "Generic."
Then a Muser said something said that I don't remember, and Vinny responded:
"Yeah, Fernando woke me up."
Did anyone other than your overlistening Plainsman slam on the brakes, veer into the JOAN RIVERS RIP billboard on the Tollway, smear Sausage McMuffin with Egg all over the windshield, and go: "Whoa -- the Unlucky P1 is not just some random spare caller waiting on the line on Friday morning, but is known to and selected by The Ticket, or Fernando, well in advance of bedtime Thursday night on some non-random basis?"
George (I believe), awkwardly, before immediately changing the subject: "I don't think Fernando called and woke you up."
And that was that.
Vinny may have been making a joke.
Sure, gotta be it.

Hey, thanks for the wakeup, didn't want to miss my big moment on The Ticket.. See you later. Go ahead, put Georgio on, I'll give that big shaggy noble mon some picks, you betcha." |
