You're the one responding to this thread

    She's talking about me!

Cos I think of Holophponers and make a list of every song played on the show and when, in which scene, it was played.

Here's one:

I'm still trying to use the baseball game broadcast in Luck of the Fryrish to determine Fry's exact birthdate.  At this point, that means I'm seriously considering going to a newspaper morgue and looking up the box scores of hundreds of Mets games to find one where Jerry Grote is hit by a pitch for the final play.  It shouldn't be hard because I only have to look for wins, and it is the Mets after all...

Edit: I went to retrosheet.org, and it doesn't look like such a game ever happened.  Grote has never had a walkoff bean.  Both times he was hit in 1977, when I estimate Fry was born, were in the second inning.  RIPOFF!

[Reply #291 on:]

whenever you watch a sports game you wait until the Giant Spider comes onto the field/pitch.

[Reply #292 on:]

@canned eggs: Search in the year 1975.
In the story board of SP3000 was mentioned that Fry was born on July 13th 1975.
Maybe the writers kept that date until Luck of the Fryrish?

On July 13, 1975, the Mets lost 5-3 in Cincinnatti.  Grote went 2-4 and did not get beaned.  He grounded out to start the 9th, and the final play was Kranepool grounding out. 

Grote was hit by a pitch in a win July 31 1975, in Pittsburgh, in the 8th inning, but Kranepool didn't play that game.

Grote was hit by a pitch in a win in which Kranepool played (and struck out) July 29, 1974, at home against the Expos, but he was hit in the first inning before Kranepool ever batted, the winning run was off a homerun by John Milner, and the game ended with the Expos hitting into a double play, so the chronology's wrong.

However, if we accept that the play by play could be out of order somehow, that could be the game, because it would make Fry 25 when he got frozen, which I read was his age somewhere.

Grote's batting stats

Edit: the May 11, 1973 game is another candidate.  The Mets won 4-3 in Pittsburgh, Kranepool struck out in the first, Grote was hit by a pitch to load the bases in the 7th, and the winning run scored when the next batter walked.  The final play was the Pirates grounding out, but if we accept that there could be a hiatus between the call of Kranepool's strikeout and Grote's bean, then another one between the bean and the "Mets win! Mets win!" then it makes some sense.

Kranepool struck out and Grote was hit by a pitch consecutively on May 29, 1972, in a 7-6 win in St. Louis.  It was in the second inning, and didn't score any runs, but it reduces the necessary number of hiatuses to one.

Hey, wait, today's May 29.  It might be Fry's birthday today.

These do apply to me, for a geek am I:

You take every opportunity to yell, "Shut up and get to the point!"

You continue to make up your own words. I did do that before Futurama, but now I do it more often.

You sometimes refer to yourself as a "brain-dead space jockey" and/or a "poor demented honky", and your friends have taken to doing so as well.

Whenever someone is boring you, you say, "I'm bored. You're boring, [insert name here]."

You're terminally stuck in the past (1970s, anyone?) but Futurama alleviates some of your disdain for the future.

You refer to old-school rap as "classical music".

You know that Fry's name has only one "L" in "Philip", there's no "e" on the end of "Fry", and that it's "Leela", not "Leila" – and correct anyone you catch misspelling them. (I'm a grammar snob as well as a Futurama geek.)

You've dreamed yourself into the show as a fully-animated character. Then drew and colored that character the next day.

Whenever one of your friends says something mundane or boring, you and your other friends launch into the "Nobody Cares!" song from the "Luck of the Fryrish" commentary track.

Whenever you watch the Simpsons, you always say, "C'mon, man, where are the Futurama references?"

You only go out with girls named Leela or Amy or guys named Philip or Hubert or Hermes or John.

You undergo dangerous surgery to look like Leela.

You want to be a head in a jar.

You have fantasies of having intercourse with Fry/Leela/Amy/etc.

You're upset that TV Guide seemed happy at Futurama's cancellation, didn't include Futurama in their 50 greatest TV shows or greatest Cult TV shows, and didn't include any Futurama characters in their 50 greatest cartoon characters.

You think the New New Yorkers could kick the Springfieldians's asses.

You indentify Billy West as "guy who played Fry, Prof. Farnswoth, Dr. Zoidberg, Zapp, Leo Wong and Nixon's head" instead of "the guy who played Stimpy" or whatever.

You indentify Katey Sagal as "the woman who played Leela" instead of "the woman who played Peg Bundy" or whatever.

You identify Lauren Tom as "the woman who played Amy" instead of "the woman who plays Connie" or whatever.

You only watch King of the Hill to support Lauren Tom and Dave Herman.

You only watch the Simpsons to support Matt Groening.

You pretend that Lauren Tom's character, Amy, in the 1994 film "When a Man loves a woman", is an older Amy Wong who went back in time.

You think that Marge and Lisa should have 1 eye and purple hair tyed up in a ponytail.

You think that Homer should have orange hair.

You think that Bart should be gray.

You think that Maggie should be Asian and dress in pink.

You think that Grampa Simpson should wear thick glasses.

You say "G'uh!" all the time.

You hum the Futurama theme.

You have this incredible urge to correct germanfryfan because he mixed up the first two letters of the abbreviation for "Put Your Head on my Shoulders"

You put various Futurama sounds, themes, and remixes thereof on your new MP3 capable cell phone, you have a different one for each friend in your phone book, and still have several that you don't know what to do with

Your phone rings, and friends (sometimes enthusiastically) call you a Futurama nerd

The wallpaper picture on your cell phone screen is of "the 31st century's hottest pizza chick"

You get the Robonian National Anthem stuck in your head

You enjoy having it stuck in your head (much to the dismay of your friends)

A friend watches Futurama for the first time and tells you it reminds her of you

You (try to) beatbox, just because John DiMaggio can, and he's cool

You've ever done a quick turn and look at the TV because you thought Futurama was on, only to find it was just an M&Ms or Honey Nut Cheerioes ad

You slog through almost eight full pages of "you know you watch too much Futurama when..." because you know most of them will be amusing

You use the [adult swim] message boards, but aren't seen in anything other than Futurama threads

You feel discontent towards a coworker because he thinks Futurama is stupid

Al Gore is cool, even though you agree with very few of his policies

Any band that guest stars on Futurama is cool

They are uber-cool if they did a shoutout to all the characters

You are in the process of putting together a Futurama soundtrack, and the only hangup is you don't know the name of the classical piece Beelzebot played in HIOR (help, please!)

You deliberately watched "2001: A Space Odyssey" just before the most recent airing of "The Sting" to compare the similarities of the two

You have ever calculated that more than $11 million of Bender's actual cash value is from the dolomite in him

Your sig on the [as] boards is entirely dedicated to Futurama

You vow to come back to this thread after you think of more things to say

You plan on sending anchovies to FOX in August

If all of the above apply to me... er, you.
