Article: Game Thread: Twins v Mariners, 6/12@7:10pm CT

[Jax]

I sell antiques in a shop in Stillwater.  Jessica Lange visited often and Sam Shepard also.  Nice people.  But it only takes a few to ruin things. They just wouldn't leave Jessica alone. Someone flattened all her tires one time, and folks would go up to their door. Didn't take long and they moved.

Jessica Lange was a nice looking lady back in the day.

[Jax]

I do not use them a lot but could anyone tell me how to post emojis or whatever they are called.

You're telling me! Beautiful, til she had her face lift.

If I'm not mistakin she was in one of those King Kong movies and was rather fetching. Edited June 12, 2017 by Jax

I think that was Brian's reference in his game thread intro ... Jessica from Stillwater, the big ape from Wisconsin.

Lol ... I collect refrigerator magnets ... I've travelled quite a bit over the years and those are the only souvenirs I purchase for myself. I have been known to buy myself a more extravagent gift, but that really has little to do with being a souvenir and more to do with buying myself an occasional nice gift, like these Reuge music boxes from Switzerland.

And these Japanese woodblock prints:

Forgive my ignorance, but did you mean Reggae music boxes? Although I suppose the Swiss are more into horns than oil drums...

 

Seriously, very nice! Beats my shot glass collection.

Heh ... that would be interesting, and if real, I'd probably have already added it to my music box collection.

 

The last time I was in Switzerland, I was very close to the Reuge factory ... sigh ... it just didn't quite work out to figure out how to get there for a drooling visit. But one day, perhaps ...

I believe we MInnesotans should not indulge the fancy affectations of the west-coast types and should thus refer to the Mariners by the perfectly fine pronounciation "Mah-REEN-ers" when referencing their team instead of the overly-grandiose "MARE-uh-ners."

I'd like to see you stick to that.

Welcome aboard! One thing to know: USAFChief is old... I mean, real old. You'll be impressed with his jokes and comebacks to messages such as this!

 

Old...and mean.

 

Your ban will be over in three days.

Maybe, maybe not, but we'll all be groan at your grammar.

Your being such a stickler, Mike.

I HATE that one. And, I was responding to chief talking about grammar.....otherwise I wouldn't have done that. 

[wsnydes]

 

I'd like to see you stick to that.

Chief, do you have another account here?  I see what you did there.

I may have an irrational man crush on the Property Brothers.... There, I said it!

Not to change the subject of home improvements (haha) but I think to stay in the division race we need to add one reliable reliever for sure possibly two. So far the division appears to be fairly weak I think 86 to 88 games might win it.

Home improvement, bullpen improvement...both cost lots of money and require some innovation.

 

I'm not sure you're really changing the subject.

They're good looking twins! And know how to transform a gross looking house into an open concept, modern paradise!

Not that hard, rent a bulldozer, start from scratch. This whole "leave the walls standing and work around them" seems like a lot of effort and wasted expense.

There are lots of load bearing walls in a house.  Taking one out won't hurt anything...

My favorite one was the ceiling that came down on Jonathan. It was a hoot.

oddly enough, this was in MN.

Leave my Grammar out of this. I know she's getting a bit forgetful in her dotage, but still....

[Tibs]

Oh there is a game today?

[Craig Arko]

That remains to be seen.

If not, we can still talk about the Property Brothers... Not a bad consolation prize!
