Desipio Message Board

I guess it's offical now, boys.

I say Hendry stays in his hospital bed until October.

Okay, as a charter mamber of this here jerkfest, I am embarrased to admit that I don't understand these Aardsma references.  Yes I've been out of town a bit, but Desipio is sort of my American Express, particularly since I began going wireless three weeks ago.  In other words, while I've been busy, I haven't been so busy that I go more than a couple days without reading the posts.  I don't know how I missed the etymology of this reference, but somehow I am completely in the dark.

So, at the risk of being mercilessly mocked for my glaring ignorance, please.  Help me.  Will somebody be able to stoop this low long enough to explain what it means to get "Aardsma"-ed?  I'll sit down and listen for my answer.
