Game Thread: Twins @ Pale Hose, 8/1 @ 7:10pm CT

[James]

Ugly? I were mine to church.

I was describing how they look on me. I'm sure they are quite flattering on you.

[LaBombo]

Totes magotes

Your new TD/Delta House nickname is Jobin.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good quote from Jack Point and I agree... But I like my quotes about humor to contain a reference of pants somewhere.

 

The final verse of the following song may satisfy you?

 

 

On another track, have we tried a rally hippopotami before?

[Riverbrian]

Are they like sweatpants?

Yes... Yes they are... Except... Don't sweat in them.

[Tibs]

Sounds good, Tycho Brohe

Still getting used to the new mobile site, how do you do, well, anything?

[LaBombo]

Ugly pants that are at least 25% of the inventory of every thrift store.

Guy down the dorm hall from me felt he needed a collared shirt for a first date.  Money being in short supply, he proudly returned from the thrift store with a polo bowling team shirt with the name 'Clyde' stitched above the pocket.  Talk about creating an unshakeable nickname for yourself.

For me... It helps if the first thing I do is... Squinting.

Do those fit tightly? I'm still a little confused on what they are. Maybe it's the name. They just look like funky sweatpants to me.

Stories like this one are what it's all about. It's not the Hokey Pokey... Like the song says.

 

Without stories like this... We'd all be trying to eat caviar while holding back farts. This is what it's all about.

If you have four minutes and three seconds, give or take, to hear a legendary Minnesota cult band's musical ode to magical pants and their role in a romantic story about a one-eyed lady in France, here's a link.

They are baggy and thin... Kind like Kleenex Pants for bigger people.

Best. Description. Evah.

You've got the right idea, with the caveat that they only fit tightly on those least flattered by them.  And since nobody is flattered by them, well...

 

The...horror.  The...horror.

I don't know what Kleenex Pants are either but I can understand the baggy and thin.

[hawkiconk]

after riding my schwinn air dyne for an hour this morning, i was sitting on the deck-still wearing my sopping wet shirt-- when the fedex man arrived

he said 'have you been working out'

i said ' no, i was just thinking about the white sox bullpen and i broke out in a cold sweat'

[Tibs]

Pretty sure those girls are waving at me

[Riverbrian]

It's Ok... There are times when I type stuff... Post... Pause... Read it... And I don't understand what I just typed.

I was down in Florida for a little over a week in the middle of July. I went to a McDonald's and I had ordered and was standing there waiting with my drink in one hand and my receipt in the other. A guy came up to me and asked if I had ordered yet. I looked at him and said no.

[Riverbrian]

The Twins Bullpen is good until it isn't.

[LaBombo]

If you want to really observe zubaz in their natural habitat, attend a pre- groom's dinner beer bust in Green Bay.

Kleenex pants makes complete sense if you've ever worn a pair of zubaz.

[Halsey Hall]

What a disgusting game!

[ScrapTheNickname]

Zubaz were created in Minnesota.

 

Back to the game ...

 

Do the Twins have ANY outfield assists this year? Yikes.

I walked into a bar in Memphis... The Bartender asked me "what'll you have".

 

I hadn't thought about it... So I said "Surprise Me"

 

He gave me a nude photo of Ernest Borgnine
