Yeah, but that was a fooled you for the 4th time ... tonight ... this one thread ... 

 

I got a weak spot for sophisticated practical jokes. 

[IndianaTwin]

How old ARE you???

 

Old enough for magnesium citrate, but still a few strokes under Paar.

[Tom Froemming]

 

Uh ... you put mustard on those? Not ketchup?

Since the Twins were down, I figured I'd better put extra "catch up" on this one ...

 

OK, I'll see myself out now

[ashbury]

Yeah, okay, now don't overdo it ... you'll ruin the schtick

My card, ma'am.

Be sure and let us know when you see one. And where.

[BattleYourTailOff]

Good win. I don’t remember the Tigers rolling over for us the way they’ve rolled over for the Indians. The Tigers are awful but damn can they at least win 1?

I think that would be wise.

I ate a chicken corn dog in the middle of this game.

 

Coincidence?

 

Nah ... no way.

Did it have spicy mustard?

Because, if not, you cost the Twins a run.

New metric: DTFCTTARTSM.

 

Did Tom Froeming Cost The Twins A Run Through Spicy Mustard

Remember...

 

Umm, I think that ship sailed when the thread was started.

How in the world did this game thread make 28 pages?

 

It's like I don't know you people any more.

[Blake]

 

coincidentally, precisely how I view my age!

Through a 100 power telescope?

[Blake]

 

I can be if you add them together.

I'd rather not risk breaking my calculator. Not sure it can deal with digits that large.

[David HK]

 

Uh ... you put mustard on those? Not ketchup?

Yikes.

 

I think those things deserve only the cheapest ketchup imaginable.

 

Maybe even catsup.

 

And only at close-to-expiry-date sale price.

Nah ... no way.

While the results were excellent, I still have to ask, "Why?"

2 pages of optimism, 19 pages of "the world is ending" "this team is toast" "DFA fire everyone" and 7 pages of "woohoo"
