This site is something that I am very proud of and I think everybody who goes to it can enjoy it in some aspect. Maybe a normal teenage viewer doesn't care about our league, but how about checking out a MTV Cribs rip-off video? Possibly. What's that? You're a 35 year-old recently-divorced female? Check out the Men of Wiffleball Calendar! Bottom line is wiffleball2k.com is the place to be and that is why I started my AOL Chat's. My only objective in the chats is to get them to wiffleball2k.com. On most of them, I succeed. Some I don't, but that's ok. After dealing with many people, I realized that these HAD to be shown to others. So sit back and enjoy. I know I did.

This is a guy I started talking to from a Fantasy Baseball chat room. I was sure that anybody who spends his free time chatting with other people about his 25 fantasy baseball teams would love wiffleball. I guess I was wrong though...

VOLUME 1 -- CONDUCTED MARCH 21st, 2003

wiffleball2k3: Have a nice night Rut

Got dissed by a guy who lives in Michigan and on his free time fishes and does fantasy baseball. Not a good way to start the day. So I decided to leave the Fantasy Baseball room and go to the Gaming/Roleplaying Room. Now I knew someone in here would love our new board game!

wiffleball2k3: Hey there
Kuricali: Hello
wiffleball2k3: are you from cali?
Kuricali: yes

wiffleball2k3: oh really, ever been to Chico?
Kuricali: Yes, I use to live in Redondo Beach
wiffleball2k3: Umm...that's cool. You have a website?
Kuricali: no just a profile and pic.
wiffleball2k3:Yah, I checked it out, that was a cool drawing, did you do that?
Kuricali: No I found it
wiffleball2k3: Oh...ok, want to check out my website?

Kuricali: OH I see
wiffleball2k3: you like wiffleball?
Kuricali: never really played or anything
wiffleball2k3: oh man, it's so much fun! The competiveness!
Kuricali: Is it a college sport
wiffleball2k3: No, just a plastic version of baseball. My friends and I started up our own league
wiffleball2k3: Do you like dice games?
Kuricali: yes
Kuricali: are you on the site
wiffleball2k3: We got our own dice game. We also have commercials, WB2k3 Pads (which is a mock of MTV Cribs) video game reviews
wiffleball2k3: No, I used to be in the league, but then I moved to Seattle. My bro and I run the site
Kuricali: oh
wiffleball2k3: There is a pic of me somewhere on there
Kuricali: OH
wiffleball2k3: You can watch my commercial, want me to give you the url?
Kuricali: um ok why not
wiffleball2k3: Alright! I'm pretty proud of my acting!
wiffleball2k3: Go to www.wiffleball2kc.com/xtra then click on Terry Creighton under WB2k3 ads
Kuricali: What games do you play with dice
wiffleball2k3: My brother (2002 MVP Winner) and Scott Carmichael (2002 Cy Young Winner) made up a wiffleball game. It's called SC Wiffleball 2k3, there is a link on the site to it
Kuricali:I see
Kuricali: how old are you
wiffleball2k3: How old do you think I am?
Kuricali: no idea
wiffleball2k3: I'm 21. You like the site?
Kuricali:interesting but I don't know much about it
wiffleball2k3: what about the design part? Or are you into things that blink?
Kuricali: some um it looked alright um
wiffleball2k3: alright? what site is better than that? I want you to give me the url to a better site!
wiffleball2k3: No, I demand this!
Kuricali: oh demand huh
wiffleball2k3: Yes maam
wiffleball2k3: unless you can't find any, in which case, I understand
wiffleball2k3: you can't find any?
wiffleball2k3: ummm, hello?

Damn, got dissed again! What the hell? She can't find a site that looks better so she leaves? Not cool, her dungeon master would not be proud of her. This next one was pretty short, cuz he probably had some bad memories about wiffleball...or so I guess...what else would be the reason?

wiffleball2k3: what's up, you like wiffleball?
partydud371: no
wiffleball2k3: why not
partydud371: i jsut dont
partydud371: leave me alone
wiffleball2k3: alright partydude...www.wiffleball2k.com

Whatever, let's move on. So now I decided to make my way over to the "Bored" chat room. Apparently the people who chat in Fantasy Baseball and Gaming rooms aren't "bored," but forget them, the Bored Chat Room was the place to go. For the first one, this person surprised me at the end with some info that I didn't know. See if you can figure it out.

Zody10j: it was cool talking with ya
Zody10j: late

Ok, so that whole...female thing kind of caught me by surprise. Are you asking yourself, "What the hell was that Herb thing about?" My answer to that is...I froze. You got to remember, this is LIVE people!!! I can't just stop talking, think of a real funny response and write it 15 minutes later. This is pressure you have never felt!

She went to the site, so that's good...but she didn't see anything. I was determined that the next person check some stuff out! And it worked. Check out this loser...

wiffleball2k3:are you a communist?
bvillerockyrun83: anarchist
bvillerockyrun83: hmmmm

wiffleball2k3: Umm...about 6 min miles
bvillerockyrun83: for one mile
bvillerockyrun83: or how many
wiffleball2k3: Umm, let's say, 20 minutes for three miles. Can you do that?
bvillerockyrun83: well as a senior in high school i ran a 16:08 for three miles on grass
wiffleball2k3: but now you got the beer belly going from too much partying
bvillerockyrun83: i ran 28:15 for 5 miles in college this year
wiffleball2k3: Have you ever ran 20 miles at once?
wiffleball2k3: err, in one run that is
bvillerockyrun83: 14 is the most so far
bvillerockyrun83: or 15
wiffleball2k3: Our wiffleball's 2002 MVP Joey Creighton has. He was a pretty good XC runner himself
bvillerockyrun83: that was sophomore year in high school
bvillerockyrun83: at 7:00 minute pace in practice
wiffleball2k3: that is pretty good
bvillerockyrun83: thanks
wiffleball2k3: So you're a pretty fast runner. You would be good in the wiffleball league, dropping bunts, stealing bases
bvillerockyrun83: not for me
wiffleball2k3: you're not going to quit school for wiffleball?
bvillerockyrun83: i am quitting school not for wiffleball
wiffleball2k3: Why are you quitting school? Partying is too important?
bvillerockyrun83: i am not a college student
bvillerockyrun83:persay
wiffleball2k3: So what the hell do you do? Think?
bvillerockyrun83:you don't have to go through college to have a happy life
wiffleball2k3: No, there is also wiffleball. What are you doing? Working full time for 7 bucks an hour?
bvillerockyrun83: i probably will soon
bvillerockyrun83: for a year or two and thats it
wiffleball2k3:z Alright, so let me get this straight. You don't have a job, you don't like wiffleball, you love bowling, but don't do it, you don't go to school...and you sleep a lot? Is that correct?
bvillerockyrun83: and i hate the government yes
bvillerockyrun83: y
wiffleball2k3: I don't know man, I don't think you are cut for the wiffleball league...sorry to say
bvillerockyrun83: it happens
wiffleball2k3: I'll let you still go to the site though.
bvillerockyrun83: are you getting paid to say this
wiffleball2k3: Nope, just happen to be proud of the site I designed, is that wrong?
bvillerockyrun83: no just asking
bvillerockyrun83: you seem to only care about the site
bvillerockyrun83:nuthin else
wiffleball2k3: Well, I spent a lot of time on it, a lot of possible employers are going to be looking at it and I want to make sure it looks good by having people go to it
wiffleball2k3: And I like to hear your reaction
bvillerockyrun83: so this is the only reason u im ed me
wiffleball2k3: Well, what was the first question i asked you?
bvillerockyrun83: do i like wiffleball
wiffleball2k3: Does that answer your question?
bvillerockyrun83: ok
wiffleball2k3: Well, it was nice talking to you, even the stuff non-wiffleball related. I'm going to get going. Make sure you keep going to the wiffleball site for more about wiffleball, XC and bowling!
bvillerockyrun83: ok

So five chats into my AOL Chat and I'm the one leaving the conversation. This guy was a total winner who is going to go far in life...by thinking!
