Which is why I will never, ever meet any of you in person at a game!

That's cool, as long as you sit in the same section but don't identify yourself so we can spend the whole game guessing...

It is NEVER OK to say ANYTHING about a woman's weight.

 

Concur. I once told a woman she looked good and ask if she had lost weight. Immediately she wanted to know if I had thought she looked fat before. Try to do a good deed...

I hope that applies only to the Philistines and not to me.

I think that skinniness is unattractive. Back in olden times men realized that plumpness is sexy, but somehow that wisdom has been lost for most of us.

I blame the media for everything.

Once, years ago, when I was truly thing (115-120 lbs), a woman stopped me on the street and asked me when I was due! Ummm .... what??? Of course I was wearing a sun dress which could give the impression I was wearing a maternity dress, but, still ... what??

I blame the media for everything.

 

I also thank the media for this, because when I was single I had glorious success walking up to two women and focusing on the plumper one.

It's possible ... but maybe I lose some weight first! <G>

WhoaWhoaWhoa there, chief. Some of us prefer to think of ourselves as cretins.

I will never say anything suggesting that I think that a woman is pregnant unless she is crowning and asks me to help with the delivery.

I am not liking that post.

[Squirrel]

I hope Perk has a great 9th. I'm nervous.

[glunn]

I think he is going to be around for a few years at least. He and Pinto should provide a good LH/RH situation at C for the Mauer ease-off of that position.

 

I love it when one of our true experts visits a game thread. Welcome to the asylum.

[LaBombo]

I wonder if Herrmann has a long-term future with the Twins.

A younger, cheaper Doumit would be nice, at least until the minor league catching situation sorts itself out.

If I were there I would offer you a candy bar and some ice cream to calm your nerves.

lol ... you are bad ... but I'm not really a candy eater. But the ice cream would be appreciated!

[ashbury]

Carnac flunked yesterday as a Rally Avatar. I'm going to try him out as a Closer, instead.

[glunn]

Plouffe is long overdue to hit a home run and buy us some insurance.

[Squirrel]

yikes ... I do not like who's up for Detroit.

[Squirrel]

Ack!!!

[ashbury]

heh ... should I look for a Ruben painting and claim it's me?

Not really sure whether to be awed at your powers of perception or bitter about jinxing Perk...

[Squirrel]

Phew!!! Quick, the ice cream, I feel faint!

[glunn]

Ump not calling the low strikes for Perkins???

[glunn]

Twins win!!! That was a good one.

[ashbury]

In hopes of scoring Nice Guy Points with the other one?

[stringer bell]

Had 'em all the way!

[glunn]

Phew!!! Quick, the ice cream, I feel faint!

 

I would feed it to you if I was there.

[glunn]

No, in hopes of scoring with the plump one, leaving the skinny one to fend for herself.

[Squirrel]

I would feed it to you if I was there.

 

heh ... nice guys don't always finish last.

Get a ROOM.
