 But if you leave the grill in your garage when you do this, you'll have to dig the grill out from the rubble. Don't ask how I know this.

Not necessarily a bad thing, providing you were after a new garage.

Washing machine aside, is the cat fixed?

No, but I am.

 

ba-dum-tschhh

[Blake]

 

Well, you have to logic your way out of these things, Platoon.

 

"But Mrs Chief I didn't put the laundry in the washing machine."*

 

*pro tip: this works better if you never put the laundry in the washing machine

I suspect that if you really did say that, you'd get a reply along the lines of "And I'll not be putting clothes in the washing machine in the near future if you keep that up!"

[Mike Sixel]

 

Angle grinder with a wire wheel, and Dove dishwashing soap. You don't use the soap on the grill, it's to wash the blood off your hands if you're not careful with the wire wheel.

 

I have used a wire wheel....fun.....we no longer use a wire brush to do daily cleaning, since it is a choking hazard. I use a wood grill scraper  now.

[D. Hocking]

 

 I won’t have time this afternoon to post them. I’ve got to fix my washing machine, it stopped draining. 

 

I bet you missed the days when you were a kid and a washing machine was a simple rock and a river.  [i am going to pretend the hamster comment never happened).

Choking hazard? You used the wire wheel to clean your teeth? Everyone knows you're supposed to use a Dremel for that!

[Blake]

FYI, there is such a thing as "AZ time," because AZ does not observe daylight savings time.

Not necessarily a bad thing, providing you were after a new garage.

and it wasn't attached to the house...

 

...unless of course, you also wanted a new house.

[IndianaTwin]

 

No, but I am.

 

ba-dum-tschhh

 

Me too. 

 

There's a billboard on I-94 between here and Chicago offering a great deal: if you get one snip, the other one is free.

TMI

[diehardtwinsfan]

It's probably fitting that I find out that I might be moving back to Cleveland on the day the Twins are playing Cleveland. 

 

On the other hand, it's probably said that I had no clue they were playing Cleveland today in a pivotal serious because the team has been so bad that it's not worth paying attention to.

How would you ever choke on a wire brush?

You're a dentist, right?

[wsnydes]

I'm guessing that it's one of those "Hold my beer" moments. 

[USAFChief]

I imagine he put it in across the throat axis, instead of parallel.

 

Rookie mistake.

[USAFChief]

The thing is, if you squint, that resembles an MLB lineup, and one that could get better pretty quickly... 

[Puckett34]

I too have been running on optimism and hypotheticals since early April too.

[Squirrel]

I’d personally drop a Dozier’s down to 6th or 7th, but there is no one I’d move up.

[Vanimal46]

Welcome back Joe. Finally, another hitter better than .240 in the lineup!

[Vanimal46]

I never envisioned a time where I would have to know who Taylor Matter, Bobby Wilson, and Ryan LaMarre are. Now 2 are near every day players...

And that time is not here yet, Van.

[Vanimal46]

And that time is not here yet, Van.

He's so far off the radar my phone autocorrected his last name!

[D. Hocking]

 

That's the problem. You'd like to hit Dozier 6 or 7, but who hits 4, 5 or 6? I say bring up Cris Carter and se if he can catch lightning in a bottle. 

 

At this point, I think even bringing up this Cris Carter might improve the offense.

 

[Blake]

Considering the adventures of autocorrect, I'll allow it.

Admit it, you just want to see him lay out for that foul ball catch.

[Blake]

For me, welcoming Joe back is both great and worrisome. I see Joe and I cannot help but think of Koskie coming back, diving for a ball and, well...

[diehardtwinsfan]

He'd keep his toes just off the foul line to stay in bounds.

[Platoon]

Phil Cuzzi (sp) would still call it foul.
