I thought May left for the Mets?

You are correct.

And is May having a baby shower for the two buns in the oven?

Of course...it's Wednesday!

I'm hoping that you know what that's supposed to mean, because I don't...

I do in fact, even if i don't recall how to type small.

"It's Wednesday" is what the soldiers say in The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen  (at least the Gilliam version) as a reason for taking time off from guard duty to watch the game on youtube. That was the age of Reason.

 

And Mudder's day is a riff on an old Abbott and Costello routine.

So cord cutting is a thing? I can tell people my folks were cord cutters before it was cool?

Is this an OB/GYN joke about your birthday? ?

I haven't been paying that close attention. News to me. Just tell him not to take greens from the witch next door...

National Wine Day, you say?

Well then, I should go down to the basement later and pick from the many options. Also, I guess, make decent dinner to go with the wine.

It could be. That woulda been clever or something. 

 

No. I grew up with out a tv. So i listened to the 87 world series on the radio, or watched at a neighbor's place.

I was thinking the same thing.  Problem being, I have too many leftovers to make something new.  And I really should eat a brat.  I bet I've got something that'll work.

(PS. I still get ads on Twins Daily despite giving up my old timey member monicker)

Screenshot and PM it to me. And next time ads appear, right click "View as source" and save it to your desktop. Email it to brock.beauchamp@twinsdaily.com.

I've been trying to replicate this issue and simply cannot make ads appear under any caretaker account.

I grew up cable-less, so Herb Carneal and John Gordon were the soundtrack of my childhood summers. I remember getting to stay up late for Game 6 of the '91 WS because it wasn't a school night

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Anyway, without the game yet, the this thread is 

"lovely, dark and deep.

But i have promises to keep

And miles to go before i sleep."

Rose or a sweeter (not sweet) white works with brats, I'm told

My first cord was cut over 69 years ago and my second cord was cut 30 years ago. It's why I'm enjoying the YouTube broadcast today .

Yup, I can verify.  Just need to figure out what's actually "in stock"!

I'm a fan of Smurf Piss Blue or Antifreeze Green

Yeah, Wills do, though it will involve learning to screen capture. it isn't very common. And in this case it came up on the first view of the thread and is 't there now. 

But it was one of them cool ads that stay put as you scroll past, and there were others in the intermittent places.

I'm guessing that Antifreeze Green is going to be too sweet for brats.  Smurf Piss...um...pass...

Okay, so it's happening on your phone? Does it ever happen on desktop?

That's not as cool as those ads that cover the "Submit Reply" button, stay fixed over it and can't be closed.  Those are the coolest!

Good friends coming for wood-fired pizza tonight and he's a wine buddy, 2015 Domaine Drouhin "Edition Limitee" pinot noir is getting ready and smelling better by the hour. Perhaps I'll have to taste a bit this afternoon to make sure... He's bringing a couple of heavier reds to complement.

They still make Boone's Farm? I remember that as the cheap drunk of my youth.

[CRF]

Just checked the radar again, and we might get lucky and get the game in. It might spit a bit from time to time, but there's a break for a while. It's pretty cool and windy though...only around 50 degrees. Pop ups might be an adventure. Let's hope Bundy has a decent outing.

Sure do! 

Quasi-related: I once made a comment along the lines of, "Hardees is like the Jordache jeans of fast food. Used to be big back in the '80s and now you're surprised when you still see one."

My head still hurts just thinking about it.  Nothing quite like a cheap alcohol hangover.

And the ads that extend the page wider than your monitor or phone screen. Love those too.

That line probably still holds true, you just have to know what Hardees and Jordache jeans are!  Both are rare in the wild these days.

To be clear, not TD's fault and the site is still worth coming to.
