I was watching when that happened. I recommend not trying to find the video of it. It's one of those things you wish you could unsee.

It's on my to-do list right after watching the Joe Theismann injury, which, 40 years later, I still haven't seen.  (When I get a shot or have blood drawn, I have to look away.  I'm not big on gross stuff.)

You do you … the closest DQ closes at 10 … I think I can make it. All the roads around me are messed up for that stupid NASCAR urban road race

Miranda is just kind of worthless of late.

One of the announcers nailed it when discussing Buck and Correa's slow start. Both guys were "in between," that is, they were ahead of the curve ball, but behind the fast ball. Buck has now fixed his swing, and Correa is in the process. Miranda looks like he's "in between" real bad. It's like every time you think you know what's coming, it's exactly the opposite. 

In the past, hitters would sometimes break out of a slump by laying down a couple bunts. That no longer appears to be an option in this league. Too bad, Miranda looks like he could leg out a bunt this year.

Satisfactory result.

If I had a factory job, I'd want to work in a satis-factory.

Dad joke.

I'm just going to have to be satisfied with the slow churn caramel swirl in the freezer tonight.

 

You enjoy your frozen blended chicken!

I think we sort-of voted for it in his poll by an overwhelming margin (until you realize that the 66.67% is actually 2 votes) (and chicken wasn't actually mentioned.)

Unfortunately I know several folks who work in the sadest factory

That was pretty funny, except for the ‘his’ part 🥸

You do realize you voted yes, yes?

I do.  I may have had too much Scotch to responsibly drive, but I'm not incoherent!

And what does that have to do with a chicken blizzard?!?  That's not in the poll!

Sorry, I didn't know.  I've been pretty inconsistent in my attendance here and I think some screen names have changed, so I don't feel like I know people as well as I used to.  Besides, wsnydes  fixed it for me before your reply, so I should be safe, right?
