Your editor was a bit confused ... 'if they last long enough' ... was that in reference to the bumps?

 

Married long enough for the bumps to appear. Providing nobody leaves after this first bump. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Not to pick nits, but wouldn't a picture of the sign for the I 94 exit to Milwaukee in Madison have been a more appropriate choice.

 

 

I was in a hurry and found the picture of the Hudson just past the St. Croix Gateway to Wisconsin and went with it.

This.  This is why I come here.

I feel like we need a bottle of Bark's rum to really set this streak ablaze.

 

Bark's living the rock star life now! Rumor has it there are now 42,000 lost pairs of socks after getting them rocked off at the Terminal Bar! And too busy for us minions

they weren't nice clothes, or were you asking the other way?

 

People wear clothes when they work from home?  I think RB would be the source on this one...

Define clothes.  Like pants?  No.

Ish. Ick? Even I don't want to sit in a chair covered with naked funk of Blake.

I checked his IMDb page and I don't think I've seen anything he's ever been in. No, I don't watch Modern Family. I've heard of it, of course, but haven't seen it. I don't really watch that much television, outside of a very few things.

Other than Big Bang and excluding the Twins and the Vikes what's there to watch? Though Viking pre-season games are about as exciting as a Norwegian wake.

I dunno, I bet the wakes from Viking boats struck terror in the general populace when the Vikings were raiding hither and yon.

Stranger Things is really good if you're into 80's inspired thriller type shows/movies.

Not so much in Minnesota though. That's why the Vikings left that rock behind in Kensington; they tangled with the local skraelings and took off for home. Didn't have the stone(s).

Fireflies are fun to watch.

 

Sun setting ain't bad neither.

 

I any time i'm in the midwest, i am reminded how cool the horizon is...

That's Netflix. Not really TV... and obviously a long way from network TV

Well, if you want to get technical.  

 

The question was what else is there to watch.  I assumed streaming/cable formats were on the table.

Big fan of that show! Season 2 premieres in October!

Right?!  I wish my paternity leave would get to 10/27 so i could binge watch before heading back to work.  Alas, the little one will be here much to soon for my leave to reach Halloween.

If we're talking network TV shows, yeah, nothing is on at this time of year.... If we can move the goalposts to streaming/HBO options, there's a ton to watch. More than any normal human could consume.

Oh.  Slight oversight on my part.

[yarnivek1972]

Ryan Braun just tied a MLB record.

I'm normal.

[Hrbowski]

 

Two in Minnesota and now two in Milwaukee. In theory both teams could have been on the same flight. They could all be in cars traveling east on I-94 passing each other by.

Just imagine a caravan of Brewers cars driving through the Dells and a caravan of Twins cars stopping at a cheese shop and making up the ground and eventually passing the Brewers caravan by. Flipping each other off and laughing until the Wisconsin speed traps snare Brian Dozier.

I chose Dozier because he looks like the type who would speed.

Sounds like high school baseball.

[DocBauer]

Anyone else catch that graphic they showed a couple minutes ago? Twins are something like 28-18 or something against the other teams in the wild card hunt.

 

Granted, might have played some of those teams when they weren't playing as well, but we've had our streaks also.

[Mill1634]

Polanco really finding himself...nice to see.

[DocBauer]

Yep...timw to give up on Polanco.

[Puckett34]

Polonco!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We got us a lead!

 

And not one of them 5 run kind neither, i hope.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yep...time to give up on Polanco.

Polanco doubles down... the line.

[yarnivek1972]

Sure looked like he tagged him at first glance. Maybe not.
