Can someone please explain?
-
I didn't get that he was on first either. Though the foul line should make it easy to tell.
-
I'll admit, I didn't get it straight away. But then it is a fairly well-known comedy skit, and I've been whooshed on stuff far more obscure…
Anyway, badger is likely not forthcoming, based on @boomzilla's response to my flag

I don't know nearly enough about baseball to have known that is a foul line.

Homebase.

Homebase.
Has a different shape and is the origin (vs. on) for both foul lines. Technically you could reverse the photo and the player could be leading on the wrong side to be third, but for reasonable assumptions first is the only one that works.
Edit: the lines also don't intersect IIRC due to the batter box.

The correct answer is I don't know...

As @HardwareGeek pointed out that player is on third, your response wasn't from the skit and so sounded like confusion over what plate the player Hu was standing on.

Insert wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff here.

I'm sure eliminating costly drying and extraction steps will have a huge impact on the batting gloves in my pocket while processing algae on first base, or in Homebase, or something. Wat?
-
Well, I haven't seen anyone else say it and so I will!
"Hu's on first!"
-
That's supposed to be funny? I mean, even for a spectator of the most booooring sport, that can't be funny.

Spoiler alert.
Sorry. Among other Discourage characteristics is an inability to handle links in spoilers.

Not for the first time, and probably not for the last time either.

I was slow-witted today...
"Phone call for Hugh Jass, I'm looking for a Hugh Jass !!"

Besides my general lack of knowledge regarding sports, I also have the added difficulty of never understanding jokes based on word pronunciation unless they are spoken aloud. And reading TDWTF posts aloud at work is probably a barrier to having a job.

That's why it took me a few seconds to make the connection, aided by the fact that I had rather recently been dealing with colors in an HSL color space — "Hu" ↔ "Hue"
-
ah. took me a minute because I thought it was supposed to be a racist joke at first.
I don't know's on second though.

He's on third.
oh hell, i have it backwards. fuck me.

The position numbers for the infield (I've included the battery here) can be a bit counter-intuitive:
- Pitcher
- Catcher
- First baseman
- Second baseman
- Third baseman
- Short stop
...since you go around from right to left but skip the SS and then come back to him.

You wouldn't be a fan of Robert Rankin, then. “My name's Padraig, but you can call me Porrig, as that is how it is pronounced.”

Wait...are you saying you don't hear voices in your head, reading TDWTF aloud?
-
Does it count if
myyour lips move when you read?
-
are you saying you don't hear voices in your head
I kind of do, but it's not well-formed, and a lot of words that are homophones when pronounced do not register the same way in my mind. I'm not sure how to explain it. I do know that my reading/writing skills are FAR superior to my speaking/listening skills and I assume they're handled by different parts of the brain and all that jazz.

Being serious, I can agree with the "hard to explain part".
Both when I read and write, it's kind of like I hear the words, but not really. If I try to watch the process, it is a bit like voice, including the pronunciation. The pronunciation of my "voice," though, is the same as what I understand the word pronunciation to be—right for words I pronounce right, wrong for those I say wrong ("awl-TER-nate" instead of "AL-ter-nate" is one people are always hassling me about).
It's the same voice, when reading or writing.
Maybe the best description would be a "virtual voice". (No, my lips don't move.)
