And after it's over, you'll probably see the first party held for Wang in New York since 2008.
It either derives from "wangdoodle" a 30s equivalent of "thing I don't know the actual name of" or "whang" a 17th century word meaning "large, thick slice".
The former seems more likely, but the latter more interesting, so I'll go with it.
It's times like these I remember why I chose to devote my life to the 17th century.
Morning Wang?
And that's great.
But in a short time, Wang will disappoint them so they'll be less enthused.
Eventually, Wang will be pulled out, and everyone will just sit around disappointed and confused.
He's the main feature of their cable package.
Of course, that's every night...
If they yank Wang before he's finished, they have to be ready for whatever comes. It could leave a bitter taste in their mouths. In any case, the bullpen will have to clean up the mess.
Particularly when he decides to go to his backdoor slider.
It makes a hard man humble.
The problem is, he needs to keep his balls down, but if you go too low, you're in the dirt.
Yeah, he's really got to be on the same page as the catcher. If the catcher doesn't provide a good target, Wang will quickly be in a a very uncomfortable spot.
If the umpire is squeezing him on the balls, it will get even worse.
The Nationals -- Taipei's team! (Apologies to the Brother Elephants.)
As you should - the Brother Elephants are awesome.
If dick jokes are wang, I don't want to be right.
Best team nickname in professional sports?
Man, what a stick in the mud. Say, that reminds me of a Wang joke....
....And, we're back. Sorry for the interruption folks. That sometimes happens when you're dealing with Wang. You're going along fine, and them some asshole sticks his nose where it doesn't belong. Then everybody's upset and you have to come back and try it again later.
Since we're being pedantic about pronunciation here in our typing on the internet (thank you TerpNats for setting us "straight"), it's:
If dick jokes are wang, I don't want to be wight.
That honor goes to the Nippon Ham Fighters, I don't care that it's "Nippon Ham" Fighters. In my world, it's Nippon "Ham Fighters" because that's more awesome.
and this is the worst
You know who uses magicJack? Wang.
I believe I made my feelings on the subject clear in this thread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're all proud of you for putting yourself on the line like that. Now back to the Wang jokes. Do you have a contribution to make or not?
Let's try to get this party started again:
We need to see if Wang's completely recovered. The last time he was out there, just couldn't pump it up there like he used to. Now all he's got left is his junk. It's almost like he was playing for the other team. His heart just wasn't in it.
Man, that joke just doesn't measure up. I don't want to get into a pissing contest over this, but I'll go to great lengths to put down a pathetic attempt at a weenie joke like that.
You're wrang.

I didn't want to sound wacist.
When he gets into a rhythm, and he's not working up a sweat--getting in and out of each inning with a minimum of effort--then, he's in the zone. But you never know when he's gonna explode. If only there was some way we could prevent these messes in the first place....
"wewease Woger!!"
Why should I? It'll just blow up in my face.
I'll go farther than that. The guy's a dick. He's had an up and down time of it, and several of the guys reported that he was all over their asses for the littlest things. To be quite honest, he's so bad at it, I'd say he can't tell an ass from an elbow.
You don't want to be the last one holding the cookie, that's for sure.
Not that there's anything Wang with that.
Depends on who's doing the bodypainting I suppose.
Obelisks are nice. Very tasteful...
We know politicians in Washington are eager to please, but they never seem to get in sync. And in the end, they'll probably blow it.
WANG FORMS A BRIDGE BETWEEN CULTURES.
HEALTHY WANG A WELCOME SIGHT FOR LOCAL FANS.
STIFF WANG REMOVED AFTER GROIN PULL.
WANG GOES DEEP IN RETURN
The article just says "free breakfast". Could just as easily be eggs or pancakes, right?
So unfair. I haven't worked in years and no one ever throws me a party.
No, if my wang only worked once every two years, they'd have to throw me a wake.
That's Numberwang!
Although, if you shake the dew of your lily, as the expression goes, what is the equivalent for your Gorzelanny?
Divide by zero.
??????
Much love. (As I'm in Germany right now, I immediately thought 'Das ist Numbervang!)
