Playaz hold groundbreaking ceremony for new Braves' stadium, followed by mass burial
GWINNETT CO., GA - The Playaz participated in the groundbreaking ceremony to begin construction on the new Triple-A Braves baseball stadium in the northeast Atlanta suburb.
Photographers gathered at the stadium's future location to click the first shovel-fulls of dirt removed at the site, after which the Playaz intend to fill with bodies that have amassed over the past year or so.
"This was an excellent opportunity for us," said Phil. "Most landfills were refusing to take our corpses, and frankly we were running out of options."
The Playaz played a key role in securing the former Richmond, Virginia team, convincing them and the county that a new minor league team would be a perfect fit for one of the fastest growing counties in the country. Once the site was identified for the new stadium's location, the Playaz then had their sights set on disposing of various, unnamed individuals who mysteriously deceased in the presence of, or in the vicinity of the Playaz.
The Playaz were able to gather various Georgia dignitaries, such as Gov. Perdue, County Commissioners, etc., to take up their gold-plated shovels and dig a 100' long, shallow trench for a photo opportunity that would then be back filled with persons the Playaz insisted were not noteworthy or of importance to anyone, and that we should all just forget what we've seen here today.

I hope you're doing a tie in with Kenny and Bon's Roasters for getting the collectible hat.

Of course - how about RCR's favorite, a collectible helmet filled with dippin' dots (or, if you're over the age of 15, comet dust)?

I had a lunch date at the M of G that afternoon and was zipping down GA20 when I passed the festivities on the left. I wondered what the 22 hursts parked in the median of 20 were for. All is clear now.
