Rally Mantis and Music Loveing Kittens

Okay - I am not a baseball fan.  But the ongoing story of Rally Mantis - a praying mantis rescued from the trash by a KC Royals player in the dugout a week or so ago that is now a good luck charm/mascot of sorts is amusing me.  Rally Mantis is now going on the road with the Royals.  Yay Rally Mantis.

And yes - I think Praying Mantis are interesting.  To this day I feel bad for not pulling over one day and helping one off my car window.  The poor thing stayed on my window for a 10 minute trip at 65 to 70 mph for most of that trip.  I saw its struggle.  It made me feel awful and I have to live with that memory.

 

Now to cats.  A Malaysian singer/guitarist was ignored by everyone - but a group of kittens.  Someone recorded this.

As a Royals fan, I have to say that the rally mantis masks some fans wore last night kind of creeped me out. But if having an insect in the dugout helps them keep winning in some bizarre way, then I'm all for it. This year has been a roller coaster with a tiny little good runs followed by injury after injury creating losing streaks.

Is it cynical of me to wonder if the busker had tuna or some other yummy treat?:my_biggrin:

I was just popping in to ask if you had seen Rally Mantis Jr. 

Baseball players are all insane.

      Any bets on whether the baby will be going home from the hospital in a penguin onesie?

      Oh penguin that thing is ugly. Someone in their circle should crochet them a cute one. Here's another option for when the child is a smidge older; it even includes a bow so you can distinguish that she's a penguinette.

      Yes. There are always reasons for if it didn't work out. The people involved are blamed as the problem not the cult-like teaching.

      It's weird how it's never the ideology that is flawed or incorrect.  No, it's definitely that people are doing it wrong, because if they were doing it right, it would work.

      (I still feel bad for Kelly, frankly.)

      Katie (Bates) and Travis Clark are having a boy. They uploaded the gender reveal.

      After so many girls, the Bates have been on a major boy streak.

      I feel like maybe it's a regional thing, more than religious. My Appalachian relatives who don't darken the door of a church outside weddings or funerals also adorn baby girls with giant bows. Most recent baby girl born has bows around 4 times the size of her head in most photos. 

      Yeah, it's a big thing in Hawaii/Alaska too, and I don't think it has anything to do with religion or Jesus.
