To nights Twins

Thank you! We needed this tonight.

[Guest USAFChief]

Well, then, I'm sure you are already typing up the rejoinder, concerning the Twins half of the first.

 

/ edit - there, see? Called it

 

Seems you were beaten to the punch.

[ashbury]

In that half inning, there was exactly one ball swung at where the batter managed to get the bat on the ball, and that was chopped foul. There's a name for that kind of offense, what is it?

 

I don't know, but while googling up the word Futility in trying to answer it, I came across this abridged list of futile dissertation titles:

 

 

• “Electrical Measurements on Cuticles of the American Cockroach”
  
• “Determinants of Flossing Behavior in the College Age Population”
  
• “Classification of Drinking Styles Using the Topographical Components of Beer Drinking”
  
• “”More Fun Than Anything” (about cyclopropenium salts)
  
• “Creep of Portland Cement Paste”
  
• “Garage Sales as Practice: Ideologies of Women, Work and Community in Daily Life (Volumes I and II)”
  
• “Communication Use in the Motorcycle Gang”
  
• “‘Santa Claus’: A Mime-Opera Based on The Morality by e.e. cummings”
  
• “Ritual Drama in American Popular Culture: The Case of Professional Wrestling”
  
• “Things That Are Good and Things That Are Chocolate: A Cultural Model of Weight Control as Morality”
  
• “Jock and Jill: Aspects of Women’s Sports History in America, 1870-1940″
  
• “The Function of the Couch in Stimulating Altered States of Consciousness in Hypnosis and in Psychoanalysis”
  
• “I Am You, You Are Me: A Philosophical Explanation of the Possibility That We Are All the Same Person”

Bert got me a little exited there.

I'm going to blame the image of dog slobber that I can't get out of my brain.

 

Ughh... this picture reminds me of a vacation I took to Tijuana. I better call my therapist.

I mean Dick.

Huh.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

EDIT: I smell a set up. Too late.

I have no alibi, and so I offer as atonement this photo:

 

 

I believe they are twins.

Could be, but I am concerned with what the smaller woman is drinking.

[Guest USAFChief]

"Atonement."

 

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

[ashbury]

I mean Dick.

 

We assumed.

[ashbury]

"Atonement."

 

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

 

That is because there may well be no word for the photo I offered.

[Bark's Lounge]

I had to give cpr on my neighbors boxer today. I brushed my teeth for 20 minutes afterwards.

Gibby - Cesar Millan ain't got bleep on you!

[IdahoPilgrim]

I question whether there is true repentance here, but your offering is acceptable. Go in peace.

Futile? I got a C+ that earned me my Associate's at Willmar State Junior College with that little number. I worked on it for 4 years.

I thought this looked familiar. We used it as a reference work when I was in school.

I believe it; I cleaned up the spelling in that title before posting.

Wasn't there a thread about that not too long ago? That's not Twins baseball.
