I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.

Check tags like Star Trek Archive and Media Piracy to find things I share for others.

We want a pitcher, not a belly-itcher!

A pitcher scratching his tum instead of throwing balls indicates a lack of focus and engagement with the game. A solid, by-the-books jeer.

We want a batter, not a broken ladder!

A nonsensical metaphor. The reference to a ladder clearly exists solely to make the rhyme work, and the rhyme itself only exists in reference to the above. Awful jeer, no substance whatsoever.

Still derivative, but back on the right track in terms of being able to coherently stand alone without losing meaning.

We want a shortstop, not a Paul Blart Mall Cop!
