BallWonk Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Given that the word "inaction" means "doing nothing", I would not name my charitable organization the "In Action Foundation." It would be like the United Nations creating a democracy-promoting body called the "UN Democratic Organization". You've gotta consider the homonyms.

That naming is intentional, to honor their offensive showing in the last 15 innings in the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't making fun of the program, I was making fun of the 'Stros inability to hit with RISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
