I bet everytime he eats popcorn now, all he tastes is shame.

Last week a Houston Astros fan thought it would be a good idea to propose to his girlfriend on the jumbotron at Minute Maid Park. The results were not as he had hoped I'm guessing.

Here is the two sentence recap: Guy proposes to his girlfriend on the jumbotron at an Astros game. She says no, dumps a bucket of popcorn on his head and storms out.

As I see it, there are three scenarios that could possibly lead to this hilarious (and pitiful) event:

1. The guy is a moron who had no idea whether she would say yes or no. I mean who would do that? Especially in front of a bunch of people, and not knowing whether she would say yes? Plus he was probably hammered and he a bunch of other hammered people cheering him on. Good luck with that one buddy. This guy sounds like a rube to me.

2. This was a setup and a way to get on the news. This seems unlikely because nobody's name is connected with the story and there is no video evidence so who gains. No one. (Well I do because I find the story funny and have something to put up here but beyond that, no one.)

3. She would have said yes in almost any other possible situation except she couldn't believe that the guy she was willing to marry was such a moron that he thought it would be a good idea to propose to her at a baseball game in front of 30,000 people on the "kiss cam". The guy had seen way to many chick flicks and thought it would be a grand romantic gesture, however as a moron he could not recognize that she had been pretending to like baseball to be nice and wanted a romantic proposal, not a drunken one on TV. I am guessing this is the case because I believe in love and stupidity... stupidity above all in this case.

Here is a little piece of advice if you plan to get engaged some time... know that she will say yes and if you plan to do it in front of a bunch of people at a game, monster truck rally, enya concert or what have you (and more power to you if you have to balls to do it) make sure that she wouldn't think you are an idiot for doing it that way.

Halloweiners' Ball news: October 27th seems like the date. We are looking for a venue, any ideas? Preferably a place that would let us bring our own kegs and booze and destroy the place and then clean up after us.

Am I worried yet: I am referring to the Cubs, and no I am not worried but they sure can look like crap sometimes. I still think they can and will win the division but I am going to have to start watching games on TVs besides my plasma because if I am going to throw a remote through a TV, I'd rather it didn't cost me $1,200.

Spellcheck: By the by, when I spell checked this, it wanted to replace "jumbotron" with "Cambodian". I don't know why but that is funny to me.
