Predictions for 2014: a healthy Oswaldo Arcia absolutely shatters Bobby Darwin's single-season Twins record for strikeouts. Maybe by August 15.

[ashbury]

An insurance run would be nice, and if it does not happen then maybe Olivia needs to go back to heaven.

 

Agreed. Bringing in Carnac the Closer.

Let's just get through 2013 before these predictions.

[ashbury]

Um, not sure what you are trying to do there, but I definitely don't want to see the video.

 

Just trying to separate the Unix goats from the Windows sheep.

2013 is over. This is Spring Training 2014, Target Field Edition. And I'm enjoying it- let the kids play.

[glunn]

Whew, nice DP.

[James]

Wait. This game is almost over. How am I supposed to procrastinate and not do homework now!?!?!

Another excuse to use Dilbert - we know how the Unix goats got that way:

That insurance run may turn out to be important now.

[twinsnorth49]

Whew, nice DP.

 

huh? come again?

[James]

That insurance run may turn out to be important now.

Let's hope not.

Start a thread about Ryan and free agents, and respond to each post. Problem solved.

[Squirrel]

Damn. It's over. Now I have to clean the kitchen and get to bed.

[glunn]

YES!!!

 

Thank you Olivia for this much appreciated bestowal of your gloriousness.

[twinsnorth49]

So what's the big deal with this Trout fellow? All I saw was a faceplant into the fence......

This is exactly why I get tired of reading the forums now.

This semester just started last week. I probably shouldn't be procrastinating yet.

 

I can only blame myself for this. If only I hadn't chosen to to try and improve myself by going to grad school.

Let's talk about payroll, that should cover you through Christmas break.

[LaBombo]

I had to do a search for the meaning of both of these. Ashbury's got me in trouble with the wife.

Fake a seizure. Always works for me.

I'm not going to start that one. There will be three new threads on that tomorrow... or at least three threads that turn into that.

Go with the instinct, well done. Would have posted the advice sooner but needed to go get the 18-pack of Totino's party pizzas that I bought at Costco this morning out of the minivan before they went bad.

 

Not that any of the phantom guests of a party whose primary bait is Totino pizza would notice if they did go bad...

Grad school is a good thing. Enjoy it but get good grades.

[James]

Grad school is a good thing. Enjoy it but get good grades.

It's a part time MBA program... the hardest part is getting in. They tend to frown upon giving grades lower than a B.

 

It's a big difference from when I started going back to school for a Master in Mechanical Engineering. It only took me a semester to drop out of that program. Waaaay to nerdy for me... which means it must be extremely nerdy.

[James]

Grad school is a good thing. Enjoy it but get good grades.

It's also harder to enjoy when you also work full time.

[twinsnorth49]

It's a part time MBA program... the hardest part is getting in.

 

But now that you're in, you can put it in cruise control and get just good enough grades to get a part time job with your part time MBA when you graduate.

 

Good luck!

[twinsnorth49]

Yeah, school and work do not go well together in my book.

[LaBombo]

It's also harder to enjoy when you also work full time.

Yes. Even part time is hard.

 

And while your gifts of intellect and determination make it possible for you to achieve a level of education and achievement that is beyond the reach of almost all people on the planet, even with financial considerations aside, just remember:

 

We'll be here, pulling for you, encouraging you, and offering heartfelt advice from our centuries of collective wisdom. But you better snap the f*% out of the 3 AM nap and send the ambulance if any of us press the LifeAlert button.

And don't stay up talking to TD weirdos after bedtime...
