Who is The Most Interesting Padre in the World (active roster)?

The Most Interesting Man in the World came up in the post "A House and The Claw". Got some interesting characters in the Padres clubhouse right now. Who do you think is the most interesting Padre in the world (right now)? I'm limited to 10 choices in the poll so I stuck with the active roster. Who is he? Does any Padre's blood even come close to smelling like cologne?

For sure it's David Wells

are you kidding me? Safari hunting, Gout, half drunk Perfect games for the Yankees. No Contest, Boomer is the most interesting Padre in the World.

Khalil Greene raps

...and is quite possibly from the future.

I am part of a team within a team. And the MVP of my team is named Kory.

Agreed

He's the ghost of Babe Ruth's kid brother.

In the spirit of the commercials

I honestly looked at this and thought, "if I were going to go to dinner with one of these guys, which one is going to tell the most interesting stories?" And it's gotta be Boomer Wells. Growing up with Hell's Angels... Babe Ruth's frozen corpse in his basement...

ok ok ok

That's a completely different question. I looked at it as Interesting as in, "Interesting as a human specimen." Somebody that scientists/psychologists/aliens might want to one day study. I'm sure that Khalil is a HORRIBLE storyteller and dinner guest. He would probably just stare at you with those cold, lifeless android eyes, trying to compute the inherent lack of logic in human emotion. Wells, on the other hand, would no doubt get incredibly drunk and regale you with tales of strangling gazelles with his bare hands, and let you know the best places in Bangkok for getting laid. If I found fat, old, and drunk interesting, I would hang out with my extended family more often.

Also, I'm glad to see no votes for Blum so far. You know you'd have to hear about his damn kids for 3 hours.

ok ok ok....dinner

Hanging out with the most interesting active roster Padre. Yea, dinner would be great. Now, going through the list given, I would have to agree with NYCPadre. Wells would be great fun. But seeing how he is probably going to wind up totally faced at some point in the evening, it has to be at his place or a third party. He is not falling down and breaking my stuff! Khalil shouldn't be that horrible a storyteller as long as you find staring fasinating. And along with staring into those cold, lifeless android eyes, you would be stuck eating that damned canned tuna and probably granola. Yuck. And would ANYONE go to a Giles' for dinner, even on a dare? Blum all kiddy talk, Adrian and CY too straight and boring, Peavy no parking, Maddux too likely to spike your food with God-only-knows what because you're a rook, Trevor's kids will drive you nuts and you'll probably get busted for staring at the hottie wife. Nope has to be Boomer. Fat, old and drunk isn't all that bad. Just gotta remember to ask him about the "cut hand" accident the last time he was a Pad. It was a Hiball glass, right Dave?

Boomer....

It HAS to be Boomer. The easy way to do this is watch the commercials and just insert Wells into that role. Can't you see him sitting there at the table, hot chick at his side, Dos Equis in his hand, spewing "...if I can count the coins in your pocket...you better use them to call a tailor."? Or see him walking up to that bear? The Padres marketing office should do a spoof of those commercials with Wells in them. Those would be awesome.

We agree again

I think I was one of the first 5 to vote and it was a no brainer to me. Boomer!

funny how hoffman got 0 votes

I'm surprised

so many voted for Greene. His most interesting Padre in the world commercial would show his skinlike rubber coating being peeled away to reveal the wires and flashing lights inside him. Then pan out to show the lab in which he was created.....

Because he is Vulcan

I tend to agree more with the "Greeny is a Vulcan" theory. All that effort into making Khalil-bot into a future HOF'er and using cheap-ass eastern European bot fingers and toes? Just does not seem logical.

Then why...

have duplicates not been created. If they can create one GreeneBot, then why not others? Or different versions, upgrades, new editions? A whole team?

by TyBo on May 15, 2007 6:51 PM PDT up reply actions

It's just like Data in Star Trek

After the first Khalil was created, the inventor attempted to improve on him by giving him emptions. However with these "improvements" he created a Khalil-Bot that was mischievious when it came to pretty girls. So alarmed at what he had done, that same inventor decided never to create another Khalil-Bot again.

Khalil-Bot 2 is still out there somewhere... causing mischief and flirting with co-eds.
