Game Thread, Twins vs. Athletics, 5/7 @ 12:10 pm CT

[Hrbowski]

 

 I am assuming you are male Hrb. I apologize if I'm off base.

I'm a wether.

[formerly33]

 

  His game thread was awesome, and yes, I would have a hard time beating him, but I wouldn't look at it that way. I bet I could step up and make Brian proud.

I bet you could. After all the time he spent training you in, I should hope so. All I know is that he certainly beat me And I'm not asking for a compliment, either. I hate compliments - so insincere and unflattering. I really loved his post. Got a good laugh out of it. And the most amazing thing is that I didn't have to stop and ponder its meaning in this world for a moment.

[formerly33]

Oh, I'll make all the men on here angry by saying that he's animale. But that makes up for the comment he made about women earlier today.

[formerly33]

 

I'm a wether.

So you won't deny that you're an animale then?

[Hrbowski]

Snake. But I heard that woman like to slither while men like to pop, or however you put that.

[formerly33]

 

Snake. But I heard that woman like to slither well men like to pop, or however you put that.

Run, not slither. And if men like to pop - well, women have a much more elegant way of going. Plus, it's very inconsiderate to pop since that creates unnecessary work for others.

  Interesting. My name is Snake Plissken on Straight Dope.

Kurt Russell, you mean? No wonder you know so many celebrities.

[formerly33]

Or are you trying to say that you are a fellow female?

[formerly33]

Wait, you have a wife who takes you on walks.

slither |ˈsliT͟Hər|

Or are you trying to say that you are a fellow female?

 

  Nope. I'm an animale like your buddy Hrbowski

[Gibby]

 

Wait, you have a wife who takes you on walks.

 

  Yes, because I am the most talented Weimeraner on the planet.

[Hrbowski]

I thought you were an animale.

 FTFY

[Hrbowski]

 

 FTFY

I thought there was a sign that said, "No animales allowed, it wouldn't be fair for the females."

[formerly33]

 

I thought there was a sign that said, "No animales aloud, it wouldn't be fair for the females."

No, we'd all have to wear earplugs, and I get ear infections when I do. So it's best that there are no animales aloud on this thread, and at TF there are enough women aloud to counterbalance the animals.

[Gibby]

 

  I don't get it. I'm all broken up about my rat, but nobody cares,

[Hrbowski]

Another symptom of chatting with a Turkish man and doing a game thread...

Did you really have a pet rat?

Stop using that Turkish man as an excuse. I know you're not talking to him. He's offline.

[formerly33]

He does not.

[formerly33]

My brothers just heard a horrible pounding, glanced up, and saw rain coming towards them full speed. They also ran full speed, and beat it out. I congratulate them. They worked like a woman's mind.

[Gibby]

 

Did you really have a pet rat?

 

  Yeah, I inherited it from my youngest, who when away to college. I actually got attached to the little guy.

  My wife is an amazing, beautiful woman. I don't want to even come close to understanding how her mind works.

So what don't you get?

[formerly33]

Well, I'm glad to see you pay that compliment to her. It's a rare one, and she probably won't see it until your funeral, but she'll love you all the more for it when she does.

[formerly33]

We have won as many games as the Royals now!!

[Gibby]

  I'd bet a million that I outlive her. ')

You knowingly stress her out that much, do you? Well, you'll just have to say that at her funeral, then.
