an “I only kiss Padres fans” shirt. Need.

"I'm a Padre at heart. Always gonna root for the Padres. Twenty-five years [with this organization], how can't you? Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers

I got this image

Of some goofy guy in a retired numbers shirt minding his own business, eating a hot dog or something. Then, an image of some goofy girl in the "I only kiss Gaslamp Ballers" shirt wandering up to park at the park. Their eyes meet. They sprint at each other. Maybe someone trips. And then a big, sloppy open mouth kiss with bits of hot dog flying out.

I’m cracking myself up with that daydream. My eyes are watering.

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
