Johnny:

 

All right fellow babies, that was the Doors, and this is sort of Johnny Fever, kind of Doctor. And after [slurs] nine drinks, Venus Flytrap is catatonic, and I myself have personally just seen a giant pig. He is currently painting the walls of our lobby.

It might be a wee bit early for this, but I actually don't want to see Tommy Milone in the 2015 starting rotation.

 

Then again, it'll probably be either him or Pelfrey. Ugh.

While I disagree with you, Milone has shown nothing to suggest that he's a quality starting pitcher.

Warren Zevon wrote a song about Arcia..."Excitable Boy."

Slider down and away.

Cops's gotta hat. I wanna hat.

When Younger... I once said on the radio... "A tornado warning has been issued for (blank) county". You are advised to take shelter immediately... If no shelter is available... Head to your basement... Or an interior hallway... Stay away from windows... Mobile homes should be abandoned... If you see a tornado... Don't touch it... Leave it alone... They don't like to be handled and sometimes react violently to human contact.

 

The next morning... My boss chewed my ass out for the leave it alone comment.

It's hilarious until it turns into a fatal storm of any kind.  Your boss probably had something go bad on him like that once.

Roughly 3000 WKRP references and not one pic of Loni Anderson.

 

I don't know whether to be proud of the TD game thread crew, or disappointed.

[ashbury]

Are you really Dr. Johnnie Fever?

As God is my witness, I thought tornadoes didn't like to be touched.

[Riverbrian]

Alright... I gotta shut er down.

 

Head over to the watch ESPN App. It's UND kickoff time.

 

Rest easy all... I hope we can preserve this tie.

[ashbury]

Hey gang...request:  I'm taping the Gopher FB game and would like to watch it later...can everyone please refrain from posting scores (if anyone besides me is even interested.)

0-0 just before opening kickoff.  HTH.

We haven't even brought up Scum of the Earth yet.

Yeah, the improvement under Kill is remarkable.

Burt ruined her. She never seemed the same after he got his nasty hands on her.

Yeah... In all seriousness... He was right. I was like 20 years old at the time.

 

If anyone would have been killed or injured and that comment was out there. The station would have gotten a black eye. A big ole black eye.

Just wait until some night the wind is blowing out...

[GCTF]

This game will probably be decided late, like all the other two games in this series. Bless you, Dazzle.

I actually preferred the Baily, the Mary Ann of the show.  Here they are in what I think is the soft ball episode (Jennifer's shorts were a  plot point) -- which if fitting for this forum.

Anything else would be over Kill.

It is hard to imagine the serious, more mature, older person posting here was once kind of a smart ass who liked to make jokes.

Dickbert trying to cover for Milone still in the game.  

[ashbury]

Just got settled down from dinner and caught up on the thread, and I turn to the paid mlb.com video feed for the first time in, oh, a month, and I find that the game is their Free Game of the Day.  Don't know whether to be glad or mad.

[stringer bell]

Let's go Pressly!

Gardy just doesn't want Tommy to be known as a 5-inning pitcher.  Get that popout for 5.1, and now he can go grab some bench.

[stringer bell]

Milone showed just a little bit more today, but with his stuff, he has to have better command.

[ashbury]

Let's go Pressly!

I'm just glad the inherited runner wasn't handed over to Samwell.  He'd have scored already.

I choose Baily!

[ashbury]

Phew.  Don't need 3 more innings like that one.

What was it, "save the Plim building"?
