Wouldn't that be a methane plant?

He looks environmentally unfriendly to me.

 

For anyone with kids, if you've ever hoped one would grow up to be a doctor and they don't, remember that photo and breathe a sigh of relief that your child did not grow to up to be the one to have to give that dude a colonoscopy. Or any other medical procedure other than shooting him with the tranquilizer gun to stop the carnage at Old Country Buffet.

If I keep reporting on what I've learned in class on these game threads, does it mean that all of TD will get the MBA as well?

 

That would be pretty cool. But for now I think we need things to talk about that don't remind us of the game that we are watching.

[ashbury]

Yes I do... They call me Smash Atom the Super Collider around these parts.

Economics? "Supply and Demand." That's it. Business is, "you buy something, and you sell it for more."

Marketing: Find out who wants to buy something and advertise to that group.

When I was a bachelor... I used to buy noodles... Tuna and cream of celery soup... And I'd mix them together and I'd have that every other night... Kraft Mac and Cheese the other nights. Unless I didn't have any clean pans to cook in... Then it was Doritos or Crackers and Cheez Whiz.

 

I was in my 20's and I could have ate Tupperware and my system would have been ok.

 

lol ... I made noodles last night for supper. But no cream of anything soup went on them. Just some grilled peppers and onions, seasoning, a little butter, a little oil and cheese. Basically what I had on hand, which wasn't much.

They do? I haven't seen that in my work experience.

Hey, just noticed USAFChief avatar change appears to go with a recent upgrade to mod status. Bringing some Arizona cultural flavor to the position?

 

[glunn]

Love it myself. Almost as much as tator tot hotdish.

 

Recipe?

 

When I was a kid my grandmother taught me how to cook. She had survived divorce by running a truck stop restaurant and thought that cooking would guarantee me a job if all else failed. So when I was a bachelor, I cooked a lot. I miss that.

[ashbury]

Meanwhile... our offensive juggernaut just scored via a walk and two infield singles. W00t.

 

/ edit - followed by a run-scoring fielder's choice plus error

[glunn]

Ahh. See I call it "Tuna Slop" if it's tuna, cream of mushroom soup, peas and then poured over toast. Also delicious.

 

At least with the peas there is some actual vegetable in there.

[Squirrel]

yes! I'm hoping I can go to work tomorrow and not have to hide out because of the game.

Watching the commercials and the Fox North Girls - I noticed Jenny is missing. Did she get traded?

My favorite target is Bonnie the 60 year old Business Manager at work. She is a super collider like myself. At least 3 times a week we round corners at the same time.

 

Its gotten to the point that it doesn't even faze me when I knock over her 60 year old body anymore.

 

I just help her up and say see you tomorrow... Same place I'm sure.

Ashbury, this might be a good time for Olivia. The Twins may be in rally mode.

You're the only person here with slower reflexes than Chief hisself, apparently. He's been mod for a while now.

People still care about the White Sox there? People have pretty much given up talking about the Twins here.

A bit early, here in the seventh; but you raise a good point, high leverage situations are when you bring in your closer *and* by extension your rally avatar.

Yes, and also I just like seeing her. Knowing that Olivia exists makes life more meaningful for me.

Why do you think I'm going back to school.

Actually, only one person commented on the game to me today. But then, I wasn't around the stage crew today ... they are the ones who give it to me the most.

[ashbury]

Twins to Sox: That's a clown inning, Bro.

I can cook for 20 people at a time as easily as 2.

Actually ... lol ... frozen ... Trader Joe's grilled onions and peppers ... bought them for another purpose that eludes me now, but they came to good use.

[ashbury]

Yes, and also I just like seeing her.

 

I kinda inferentialized that.
