An Evening with Mr. Steve Quis Part III

Now then...

Steve Quis told us all kinds of secret stuff, which I'm not really allowed to tell you about. We ended up asking lots of questions about hair and outfits. Quis and Scanlan do their own makeup. A former boss of his used to have a hair person, but stopped with that for insurance reasons. Any clothes that Quis receives is considered taxable income.

By the time we got the fashion lowdown, our tummies were growling and we made plans to meet with Steve Quis later in the game. I had the distinct impression that he might try to ditch us so I took once last long look at him before giving him a hug and letting him go on his way.

Left on our own, we proceeded to make the Gaslamp Ball Rounds. Gone are the days when we can just go to a game and watch it in peace. We had to constantly move around to try to learn more information.

We ran into Pad Squad Andre first. He introduced us to Pad Squad Melissa who, it turns out, is also the reigning Miss Escondido. Padsquadmelissa_medium

PSA asked us what we'd been up to and we casually mentioned that we were hanging out with Mr. Steve Quis.

"Oh! Well LA DEE DA!"

"Andre," we said. "You don't have to be all jealous."

"La dee da," he repeated.

Andre seemed crazy jealous that there might be somebody else at the ballpark that we'd want to hang out with.

"Really, it was always only Jonny Dub that had the crush on you," we told him. That seemed a bitter pill to swallow.

Afterwards we hung out a bit with Gaslamp Ballers David and Todd. David and Todd were a couple of the original Gaslamp Ballers when we were Padres Fans Since '76. After we joined the SB Nation, we lost a little bit of our indie cred and now David primarily participates by inviting us to concerts and texting during games.

Finally, we met Axion and his brother, NocturnalMatt. I was excited to see Axion until I remembered that I always disagree with his takes on Gaslamp Ball. He said that he didn't want to just be a Gaslamp Ball "Yes" man, always agreeing with whatever we say, like Wonko or Richard. We agreed that it's for the best.

Axion's a young, hip dude. I felt a little out of place while he and JBox talked about the Amazing Race and the most recent episode of Survivor.

Then the rain delay happened and we decided it was time to reunite with Mr. Steve Quis!

Only a little bit of Steve Quis in Part III! Will he return for Part IV? Will we see Bob Scanlan Again? What the heck are all of these sweat stained shirts doing at Weisbarth's desk!?!

This story needs a lot more Jenny Cavnar.

I want to thank the good Lord for making me a Philip Rivers fan.

Agree

We want to know what Jenny was up to during all of this.

SERIOUSLY!

I’ve been bored out of my mind reading about all this gay stuff (not that there’s anything wrong with that) between you guys and Quis, Scan & Weisbarth.

I get bored reading this comment

"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

First you get mad at me for not blogging enough

And now you get mad at me for blogging too much. YOU ARE A TYRANT.

There could have been Cavnar in this part

I showed them a picture she took with me at Fan Day.

You people and your Cavnar

She was wearing a red coat and she pronounced the word “crazy” like, “cray-zay”. That’s it. Nothing else.

You could have

posted that for all 25 parts of your series and throw some pics up there of her & I would have been a happy camper.

You guys slightly redeemed yourself by throwing a pic of Pad Squad Miss Escondido up there………..this series is now slightly less gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that….again).

Cavnar could be a story

but considering they got close to the eight wonder of world and only briefly mention it is amazing. Scanman’s hair is the real story. Does it have its own glow? If you touch it do you get internal peace? Are the rumors true that Seals use it for body armor?

it was fantastic

I was very impressive. The wave is much more pronounced and sits a lot higher on his head than you might think. There’s an optical illusion going on there. He’s easily 7 feet tall if you count the hair.

Quis seems like a tool,

can I say that?

Insert clever sig here

by bagdog on Apr 15, 2009 11:20 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

sounds like a poll question

What tool do you think X broadcaster is?
1) Hammer
2) Screwdriver
3) Hex Wrench
4) Measuring Tape
5) Lube Gun

"...like Wonko or Richard."

That may have been the funniest thing you’ve ever written.

I've completely slipped

Or I’ve lowered expectations to something beyond low.

I must be the worst yes man ever

EVER!

Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
