Finally. Someone mentioned raccoons, so now I can tell my favorite raccoon story. It happened back when my daughter was in diapers, on a blazingly hot summer night. My wife came home from book club and hurriedly punched the garage door opener to close the door. She pressed too lightly, and at about 1AM I hear this scuffling and chatter in the garage, so I quietly open the service door to see a large raccoon, *ss end up, reaching into the garbage can. So I poke him in the butt with the ice chopper, close the lid on him, place a construction block on top, and head back to bed, thinking it serves the rascal right to spend the night with the garbage he so covets. He's a whiner, like Dozier and bunting, so I get back up and wheel the thing out to the curb, but the stupid thing keeps screaming to get out and he's throwing himself at the lid, clearly irritated. Eventually, I fall asleep, and in the morning, all is quiet. I remove the block from the can, and tip it towards the street, thinking he'll scramble out and hobble away. Instead, he rolls out, dead, followed by about the worst odor you can imagine. Ends up he was asphyxiated by my daughter's soiled diapers. To this day, whenever someone mentions raccoons when she's around, which we almost invariably do, one of us tells the story about how she ruthlessly killed a raccoon when she was two.

What an awful way to die. Poor thing. Yeah, I feel sorry for an overgrown rodent.

I've always liked "Incompleteness Theorem" as the name for a group.

Great name........... Hard to fit on a T shirt.

Certainly, the proof would be.

 

And 'On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica' would be quite a handful.

Did anyone make it down for Twins breakfast?

 

Today's weather shouldn't be much worse than last night's game at Pittsburgh.

[bird]

 

?

 

You expected raccoons to be mentioned on a TD game thread?

 

Not quite sure what to make of that. I mean, there is a certain amount of twisted logic that goes with that expectation.

 

 

Very sound logic, Blake. Because Riverbrian.

But Saturday and Sunday will be.

Should Riverbriand and sound logic be mentioned in the same statement? Something seems off to me ...

[ashbury]

Then why are people still posting?

 

"Yes. It was my understanding there would be no more posts."

If there's a Super Group Heaven, you know that Camille Jordan and the Abelians will be headlining.

. No, me either. Of course as long as we keep copying and posting on that premise, this will make a dog chasing its tail look like not only intelligent, but a good use of time and space.

Well at least they gave you an office with a window and a view outside that is offlimits as opposed to an interior office with a freestanding window leaning up against the wall you can look out at a wall anytime Riverbain in both scenarios you get an office with a window.

Waiting patiently now for Chief to chime in with "we were talking about Godel, not Fermat," at which point I can zing him with "you forgot the umlaut in Gödel's name, dummkopf". Oh, the anticipation...

Just bought two tickets for the game...lets go!

[bighat]

Thanks Carole! I posted in the other thread about the issue. Go Twins!

spoiler alert much??

I'll probably be "working" during the game, try to be really funny so when I go back and read this later it's worth it. thanks everyone.

 

"working" in this case means unloading window treatments for our installer, to speed up the process of installing, so we pay less. I think. Not sure. It's the wife's business, I just help out sometimes.

[Dave The Dastardly]

 

I'm starting a new job at a new company on Monday. The office is located at the Dell headquarters, but we're moving locations in 2 weeks.

For the time being, the company is set up in Michael Dell's private basketball court on the 3rd floor of the building.

Basically the company I'm going to be working for is the Milton of Dell.

Are they having you jump through the hoops?

[Dave The Dastardly]

 

Meanwhile, tonight Phil Hughes will start for the Miracle. Gametime temp should be around 80 degrees.

You mean if Phil Hughes starts it will be a Miracle?

Blue Duck had a treatment. Yours sounds similar.

[Dave The Dastardly]

Oh my God! Three posts in a row? Is that like a strikeout?

 

It's hell playing catch-up on GT. Or should that be GOT?

I like to think of Phil starting at any level to be more of a disaster.

Well if this is true, Rosario is being reprimanded I imagine. But that's simply uninformed speculation, which is highly encouraged, and practiced on GT. . But on another note, if it's true, maybe it's to keep the customers warm? Booing during the lineups generates blood flow, and heats the extremities!

Rosario's taking the day off in the OF. Grossman takes LoMo's spot at DH
