  1. I bet Bark can cobble together a photo.
  2. The Twins vs. the White Sox It's not just an important game for the Twins. It's important for the White Sox as well. We can all talk about playoff contention for the Twins because it's so obvious just being 1 game back. However... it's not like the White Sox are out of it. The Twins would be silly to focus all that attention on the Rangers and it would be silly to focus on any of the other teams in striking distance. Too many to keep track and too many possibilities. All the Twins can do is focus on themselves. Win games and keep winning games. Here are some things to Think About: 1. September -- Well... that's it... August is over and things start changing now. Football has started, the kids are back in school, and they are placing ice houses on Lake of the Woods. As a sure sign of the changing seasons... I was struck in the head yesterday by a falling leaf. When you consider the height of the tree, the laws of gravity and the thickness of my skull... my doctor says I was lucky to survive it. The word September is derived from the Latin word "Septem" which means seven. There was a time when we used a 10 month calendar and during that time September was the 7th month but with only 10 months they found that people were aging too quickly so a couple of months were added on and this has resulted in longer life spans. The "ber" in September, October, November and December is also Latin and it means "Brr... I'm freezing my nuts off." "Uary" in JanUARY and FebrUARY means "Move to Florida and Arizona." This September... means something. The Twins are firmly in the playoff race. 2. Room to Breathe -- Breathing room is gonna be hard to come by. Currently the Rangers have the last playoff spot but the Twins are just 1 game behind. The Rays and Angels are 2.5 games behind the Twins. If you look at it closely... every team is just one big winning streak from getting into serious contention. If you think about the phrase "Room to Breathe"... I think every house should have a room to breathe... actually, all rooms need to be rooms to breathe. If you have a room that isn't equipped this way, I'd never enter... If you need to retrieve something from it, ask your neighbor to get it... the neighbor that mows his lawn at 6AM. 3. The White Sox -- There was considerable optimism on the South Side this year because of the additions of Samardzjia, LaRoche, Melky and Robertson. That optimism has waned and turned into a long look at the pocketbook and asking questions like... why did we spend all that money on Adam LaRoche? We all do the same thing when we spend 100 dollars to get into a water park just to wait in line all day. I guess it just seemed like a good idea at the time. 4. Lefties -- The White Sox in a stunning lack of creativity will start nothing but left-handers against the Twins. Sale tonight... Rodon tomorrow night... Danks on Thursday. Scientists are not sure why people become left-handed. There is no specific left-handed gene... it just kind of happens to people. Much like there is no cock-eyed gene... it just kind of happens to people. Also... like there is no gene that will keep you from getting hit by a safe falling from the 20th floor above... it just kind of happens. 5. More Left Hand -- Around 10 years ago... I invented a left-handed hammer and I was sure that I was going to get rich. Turns out there were no left-handed nails and the venture failed miserably. -------------------- Game-time forecast: 86 deg F, mostly cloudy, 1% chance of precipitation, winds from the SSW at 6mph. Lineups: WHITE SOX 1. Adam Eaton CF 2. Tyler Saladino 3B 3. Jose Abreu DH 4. Melky Cabrera LF 5. Avisail Garcia RF 6. Adam LaRoche 1B 7. Alexei Ramirez SS 8. Carlos Sanchez 2B 9.

  4. You can't tempt the wrath of the whatever from high a top the thing.
  5. I will... I think it's about 95 percent right now.
  6. Don't forget the Chicken Crumbs and Vegetables mixed in to it.
  7. I'm thinking so... However.. My next big adventure will be next weekend... Shuffling off to Buffalo for the Buffalo Wing Festival.
  8. Jimbo... Dude... You were too soon... Quickly take that back for a moment
  9. Yes he recommended my re-location to Michigan as a public service to North Dakota.
  10. I apologize... I probably ruined that for you.
  11. I lived in Grand Forks for 25 years. Home of Marilyn Hagerty As a matter of fact... I know Marilyn... She's a great Old Lady. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Hagerty
  12. My favorite line from that movie After "But Daddy says i'm the best".
  13. Yeah I didn't... I then saw the instruction and turned my phone off while trying to turn it back on. I spent the next day wondering why my phone wasn't ringing.
  14. LOL Got up to get Ice Cream Turns out I left the oven on I checked the instructions on the box. They say nothing about post heating.
  15. I'm wondering how long the vegetables will sit on the floor before I clean them up.
  16. I think I've seen it a couple of times.
  17. The funny thing is that I honestly thought I had saved it with the eggs and cheese. I took that first bite expecting success.
  18. I can't The 10 second rule was impossible to beat because they were scattered.
  19. Hungry Man Report Page 7 and final I was wrong... Quite a few Vegetables ended up in the Apple Dessert. Along with Chicken Crumbs. I've decided to not finish the dessert and am going to finish with Ice Cream instead. I hope you all enjoyed my review. Thank You all So Very Much.
  20. Hungry Man Report Page 6 With my Vegetables scattered on the floor. I only had a couple of them to sample. The Veggies end up with the poorest grade. I'll give them a two.
  21. I'll really like him here if he hangs a zero
