Good morning, gentle readers. Just a few Monday morning items for you. First, you'll notice the exciting new logo, designed by Batgirl drawer and logo maker Jonathan Van Gieson. JVG runs a panel of a comic strip every day on his own blog and Batgirl is a regular reader.
Meanwhile there are new designs in Batgirl's Online Emporium; Batgirl cannot wait for Santana/Nathan '04 to begin sweeping the Metrodome.
New to Batgirl? Can't keep your Chairman from your Doctor, your Boo Berry from your Chocula? Check out this Nickname Guide, now in the "About" menu to the left.
And finally, Batgirl has put together a Legovision BatArchive, also in the "About" menu.
Have a nice day, and thank you for reading Batgirl.
Posted by Batgirl at August 8, 2004 11:35 PMDear Bat-Girl and Bat-lings,
A little housekeeping of Shoeless Joe's own as well. Having been attracted to the Bat-Girl site largely by Lego-Vision, Shoeless Joe has tried to add the insights of a White Sox fans to the rather Twinkie-centric discussion that takes place here. Diversity is a positive social goal, kids!
As loyal comment-readers will note, Shoeless Joe hasn't posted very often lately. That's because he (meaning I) have been going through the emotional process of giving up on the White Sox for the year. It's kind of like a painful birthing process, except there is the death of hope at the end, instead of a new life, and there aren't any grandparents, hospital bills, or diaper changing. But there is a lot of late night crying. But I digress.
So Shoeless Joe will be taking his leave of Bat-Girl for the year, moving on to other things. Shoeless Joe and his significant other (I'd call her Shoeless Michelle, but she has many, many shoes) have completed the first two weeks of the South Beach Diet, which leaves me in the blissless state the Germans call "fahrfrompuppin." I will also scale Kilimanjaro or eat Buffalo Wings watching the Bears at a local sports bar.
I've also picked up a small tome at a local Barnes & Noble by a relatively unknown writer about a chemical spill in a small town in Minnesota. I have grown somewhat fond of the author's writing (also the stories she writes are often painful) and am very much looking forward to reading more of it. I hope she'll take my small purchase as a small token of my gratitude for the considerable amount of pleasure provided by this site.
Signing off until 2005, when the Sox will kick Twinkie ass,
Shoeless Joe

Posted by: Andy at August 8, 2004 10:32 PMDearest Mr. Joe,
Say it ain't so! Please don't go, you are a valued BatMember, and we would miss you terribly. Who else would everyone pick on?
Love,
Batgirl
With Shoeless Joe leaving the bat-tribe, perhaps Bat-Girl could recruit a Cleveland Indians fan to provide a foil for us bat-lings. The Indians look to be our real competition coming down the stretch and the Twins have 12 games left with the "Tribe" (game 1 this Friday). I know for a fact that there are a number of Cleveland ex-pats located in the area, and most of them can write.
Hope to see a posting from "Wild Thing" real soon.

Posted by: Mimiru at August 9, 2004 10:39 AMNo Comments possible at LegoVision archive. Wasn't the Marty Foster @ Seattle game carried on LegoVision, too? There were some Canadian dandies in that, as I recall....

Thank you so much. Batgirl has corrected the error.
Sincerely,
Batgirl
Yes, we have to confess, the BATGIRL rules, is it bad to capitalize the sweetheart? Anyway, what will you do without Dougie? He was your true boyfriend, hopefully he helps those RedSox do something, they are the only team that could beat the HATED Yankyees....as in YANKYEEEEEESSSSS! I just heard the School of Fish singing 3 Strange Days, kind of reminds me of the last 3 Twins games. Keep being the BATGIRL, she is lovely.....YES!
