So what does it say to you when a non-IT person laughs at you? :)

 

It means that I will be forever dependent on 1st graders to help me run my Ipad at optimum efficiency.

So I was getting pretty worried about Mrs Chief's hearing...it just seemed to me that she wasn't hearing as well as she used to.

 

I thought I'd talk to my doctor about it, and see if it was normal, or anything to worry about. He told me to try and learn just how bad her hearing had gotten. "Stand 50 ft away, and ask her something. See if she can hear you. If not, move ten feet closer, and try again. Keep going till she answers, then get back to me.

 

Soooo, tonight I tried it. I stood 50 feet away and asked her "what's for dinner?"

 

Nothing.

 

So I moved 10 feet closer, and tried again...nothing.

 

I kept this up till I was 10 feet away, at which point Mrs Chief turned to me and said, "Geez, for the fourth time...CHICKEN!"

Good story.

 

Reminds of the time you were driving down the highway, and Mrs Chief called you on the phone and said "Chief, you'll never guess what I just saw on the news--there's someone driving down the wrong side of the highway!" and you replied "That's nothing, I'm driving on one where a whole bunch of idiots are driving on the wrong side!"

What if there were an infinite number of RBs, an infinite number of LPads and an infinite amount of time?

I think I would have preferred your initial concoction over the supermarket fried chicken. Yucko.

 

I got some left over... If you ever stop by Grand Rapids. We can picnic.

A whole can is just too much. The first couple bites of Spam is interesting... After the third bite... You want to drive down to the Hormel Plant and set it on fire. 

 

And after a 4th bite, you're stopping at every Carl Jr.'s to use the bathroom all the way to Austin.

You'd get a couple Game Thread Openers.

Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I can't help it. If you start at 50 feet away and move 10 feet closer each time that means 10 feet away would be the fifth time you asked. (So obviously that means she didn't hear you the first time.)

Baseball teaches us many things. Some philosophical astronomers think there may be an infinite number of universes, therefore there is a possible one that is identical to ours. Well, my answer to that is: Given an infinite number of baseball games how many of them would remain tied infinitely? None. No baseball game can ever end a tie. Therefore, the philosophical astronomers are wrong.

They would type Shakespeare like monkeys.

I am at the airport right now, just purchased my ticket. I'll be at your place around 4:00am.

 

I'd be there sooner, but the only flight available was into Lansing.

She's not good at math, either.

So what about the 2002 All Star Game?

Can't we get Jepsen a glove that doesn't have Tampa Bay Rays colors?

It's like Nolasco wearing the Dodgers cap at the Wild game all over again!

 

I think as long as Jepsen can manage to pitch 1-2-3 innings, he can wear any colors he wants.

You just have to develop an appetite big enough to eat the can in two bites...

 

I have fond memories of it as a camping food.

 

Internally at the Hormel Brothers, the motto and aspiration is "98% of the pig." Understandably, the marketing people down there are rather quiet about this.
