Oh, and just so you know, not that you want to know, while you all were talking about which women you want to be on an island with, I bought 2 pairs of shoes. That was much more interesting to me.

[Gibby]

 

Your beard is as good as this? Good for you, I am jealous.

  My beard smokes that...and you should taste my vol au vent.

They have a paper catalog? That's a waste when it's much easier to just use the computer.

Why get a computer when you can spend hours completing an order form out of a catalog and wait 3 weeks for your shoes to arrive?

[Squirrel]

Oh gawd ... that was frightful. Whew! Robinson caught it!

So while we were selflessly offering to sacrifice ourselves for the Twins you were thinking only of your own feet?

I am liking Robinson and Nunez tonight.

[Willihammer]

Weeks ball... caught?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I'm back (after a short inadvertent nap) and we still have the lead.

 

With Perkins in. Keurig is for closers? Doesn't quite have the same ring.

 

Life is good.

[Squirrel]

Yeah! Wiff!

[stringer bell]

Nice to see Perk's velo up to 95.

Somehow I'm not sure the sacrifice would actually be yours in the scenarios you were presenting.

[Squirrel]

Out! Out! Out! Get. Him. Out!

[glunn]

Yes!!!

[Squirrel]

Yay!!! And in my best Chief 'voice,' since he isn't here ... Winnah!

[Gibby]

Twins are Awesome!

No, it would've hers.

I cooked chicken catch a tory for dinner tonight. They had fresh tories at the grocery store and I couldn't resist.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

8-5 after 9 innings.

 

Circus Boy Update, as expected.

 

(Oh, did i miss a PLC?)

That's right, step on the punch line.

[Squirrel]

 

That's right, step on the punch line.

Um, there was a punchline there? Guess I missed that.

[Gibby]

 

 

  My insanely great neighbor roasted duck for my wife and I tonight. Horrid execution, but I appreciated someone cooking for me, and I love his confidence, cooking stuff like that, when he knows I'll excoriate him later.

[ashbury]

  The second video down is my girl handling a post game interview, in Italian, without much of a hitch. She screws up at the end. Her teammates gave her appropriate crap afterward.

I don't speak a word of Italian, but I know an American accent when I hear one.

 

Seriously, good for her. I can't even play volleyball and she can do it while mastering a second language.

I would never ever ever ever cook for you, not even for one of Brian's insane scenarios where the Twins win the WS for the rest of eternity.

  My wife and I took Italian classes all winter, since it looks like that's where she's going to play out her pro career.

It's OK, Cicely Strong didn't have much in the way of punchlines tonight either, and she still got applause.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

_{^{No, not really a punch line per se, just the whole series of posts was predicated on the observation you made.}}

[Squirrel]

My boss is constantly correcing my Italian pronunciation. Once in his office, in front of a group of people, he asked how a pronounced a particular word. Since he said the word, I looked at him and said 'Just like that.' He laughed. And I got out of possibly saying it incorrectly.

  That dry-assed duck was like manna from Heaven. I love it when other people feed me.

Oh, you mean a whole series of nonsense posts that is the game thread?

  It's an interesting language. I took 4 years of Latin, so Italian came pretty easy, but they have a ton of words borrowed from other languages, and they are sticklers for cleaning words up and matching suffixes.

  Is that a problem?
