2. It's a baseball reference from Jean Shepherd"
"AND REMEMBER, KIDDIES, keep your knees loose and your glove well oiled." With that phrase Jean Shepherd - New York radio raconteur, midwestern baseball nut and absurd guru to legions of misfit nightowls - would sign off in the wee hours of the morning. It took a while before the deeper meaning of that bit of baseball wisdom became apparent. Knees loose: aha! flexible, ready to move in any direction. Glove well oiled: yes, ready to catch the ball, to catch anything life throws your way.

Hi, Grey! See you later. :hi:
