This made me think of Potato Wave and that made me think of this: And then I laughed

Nothing... It just waved?

I'm going to tell that one at work tomorrow.

What time is it in Hong Kong right now?

Yeah... I agree But... Damn... he really botched that Run Down... I'm thinking he may have to hit another one.

That Plouffe home run makes up for the botched run down. Kinda

I tipped a big Honda Gold Wing at a stop light in Blaine Minnesota. Waiting for the light to change and it just starting tipping over. I was around 16 and I couldn't get it back up. My brother in law just said... "sure take it for a spin if you'd like". The Drivers behind me... were not happy.

Just want to say that there wasn't one rookie involved in that run down. Our Vets pulled that gem out of that... whatever it was.

I couldn't find any Hairy Motorcycles in a google search but I did find this http://totallyradchoppers.com/wp-content/uploads/52efedeb48e6a.jpg

I'm wondering what inning my chin hits my chest and I throw my head back up and say "I'm awake" and my wife says... "Sure You Are"

A motorcycle that you have to shave. Must be quite the conversation piece when you roll into Sturgis with that.

I don't like chasing them around the plate with my fork.

You are responsible for the result tonight. Bring it home

True Story -- When I was younger I was playing catch with my friends in our neighborhood street. We were throwing the balls as high as we could in the air and we'd chase them down. Neighbor across the street had a fire hydrant in their front yard. Those pointy caps or plugs or whatever they are... well... they are about the right height for a young male such as myself. I ran full speed into it. -- True Story What do you do for that? I remember rolling on the ground for awhile and when I finally got to my feet... I remember holding my kidneys because that was where the pain was. Not sure why that happens but that was excruciating and eventually everything goes back to normal. Anyway... Your Kidneys hurt so much you don't notice any pain at the point of contact.

I think I hit 85 once... Might have reached 86 or 87 but my wife noticed the speedometer and that was the end of that.

True Stories Need to be Bracketed True Story -- Blah Blah Blah - True Story

Good Story

Max Kepler hit his first major league home run yesterday and in walk off style! A game-winner provided by someone that we hope and pray develops into a player that can help turn this franchise around eventually. It was a moment that may have prompted a phone call home… one of those “Guess what I did today?!?!” type calls, and those are the best calls to make back home. For Max Kepler… calling home is calling Germany. A little moment of joy for all of us starving for little moments of joy this season. As if Max said… “Over??? Nothing is over until we say it is!” In tribute… here some German things to think about: 1. Oktoberfest – This Bavarian celebration attended by millions annually is actually held in September. I assume it’s because Germans are basically impatient and just can’t wait until it's actually October, and they won’t change the name to Septemberfest because September doesn’t have that hard German “ach” sound that they are so fond of. You know… that “Ach” or “Ich” sound that makes Germans sound like they are always angry. You really don’t need an excuse to drink beer but if you want it in mass quantities and you want your Lowenbrau presented to you by pretty ladies wearing a dirndl… well... then you gotta wait for a celebration such as this. The beginning of Oktoberfest has been traced to a royal wedding held in 1810, so it is really a big wedding reception that hasn’t stopped; and this means that the DJ spinning “99 Luft Balloons” and “Rock You Like a Hurricane” while being paid by the hour… now has a net worth of $899 billion. 2. Einstein – Born in Germany… he was pretty smart guy. E=mc2 exists because of him. Energy equals Mass times the speed of light squared is perhaps the world’s most famous equation and it came from his genius mind after watching Herschel Walker at the University of Georgia. Later on… Einstein began exhaustive work with the principles of gravity after watching Herschel Walker with the Minnesota Vikings. His General Theory of Relativity is a pillar of modern physics and if it wasn’t for Einstein… my wife would have been the one to publish it. She never studied Einstein at all but she came up with the same conclusion on her own after she watched one of my dropped peanut M&M’s roll around a large circular dent in the couch cushion I was sitting on. 3. Ninety-Five Thesis – The Lutheran Church began in Wittenberg Germany. Martin Luther started the Protestant Reformation because he had specific points of contention with the teachings of Catholicism… 95 of them to be exact. Things like kneeling for long periods of time… there would be no more of that. No more confessions because Martin realized that people were just making stuff up anyway and keeping the juicy details to themselves. And… only Lutheran catchers needed to do the sign of the cross and only when calling out defensive plays with runners on third. 4. Ludwig Van Beethoven – Throughout his adult life… this German composer steadily lost his hearing until he was totally deaf in his 40’s. No one knew how he could compose so beautifully despite not being able to hear what he had written. In fact, perhaps his grandest work, his 9th Symphony, was composed when he was completely and totally deaf. The truth is that he never knew how to write music and he had simply taken up doodling. While some of us will doodle heavy line rectangles, block letters or hearts with arrows through them, Beethoven liked to draw ovals... sometimes filled in… sometimes not filled… sometimes with little flags on them... sometimes with no flags... and he put them all on a field of 5 horizontal lines. Bach and Brahms felt this was disingenuous and they asked Ludwig many times to stop doodling out of respect for the craft. Beethoven replied “WHAT?” while cupping his hand to his ear and continued to doodle his way in history. 5. The Autobahn – The highway system in Germany has no federally mandated speed limit and is one of two places where automobile speeds are allowed to surpass 100 miles per hour. The other place is the avenue that goes right by my house. Speeds are similar but cars that pass by my house by state law must blast rap music at over 200 decibels while the bass rattles the windows between the hours of 1AM and 5AM. ____________________ Lineups: TWINS Eduardo Nunez® SS Robbie Grossman(S) LF Joe Mauer(L) 1B Trevor Plouffe® 3B Brian Dozier® 2B Byung-ho Park® DH Max Kepler(L) RF Kurt Suzuki® C Byron Buxton® CF Ricky Nolasco [R] P ANGELS Yunel Escobar® 3B Kole Calhoun(L) RF Mike Trout® DH Albert Pujols® 1B Johnny Giavotella® 2B Todd Cunningham(S) LF Gregorio Petit® SS Carlos Perez® C Shane Robinson® CF Jered Weaver [R] P Game-time forecast: Clear, sunny (until 8:03pm local time), 68 deg F, 2% chance of precipitation, winds from the WSW at 10mph.
