  1. Honest answer: it's like my earliest memory ... well, I remember things from before then, but nothing stands out like that. Of course at the time it didn't mean anything to me, but the stress was felt by everyone and it's engrained in my memory. Honest question: were you just curious, or are you being antagonistic and trying to say that I shouldn't have posted that since I don't remember it the way you do? And by the way ... you may be old and remember ... well, everything ... but I was four years old at the time. Of course I remember it. I can remember Y2K. So there.
  2. Listen to James Galway's tribute to 9/11 in between innings. So beautiful and touching.
  3. There is a fine line between this and the issue at hand; in order to provide a separation of examples, this would be better referred to as "limited terms" whereas "term limits" would be used in reference to what is already being discussed in this thread. But like I said, there's a difference, and I'm not sure how you came up with the comparison. And as for your last comment, term limits would only happen if that was what the people wanted, so regardless of elections, we'd likely get what the people wanted.
  4. It doesn't take an invasion for Packers fans to dismantle my entire neighborhood; they're literally holding us hostage. They have sentries at every corner whose main purpose in life is to remind every outspoken Vikings fan that "if you ain't first you're last," meanwhile insisting that they were "the better team" and "we had been winning" the NFC Championship Game. As you can see by the cropped image, the Pack is not only owned but coached by the community as well.
  5. What I find interesting is that not only was he the least qualified candidate but the only non-Jewish candidate as well. I don't know if that's correct as I haven't really looked into this deeply, not to mention that I only saw that in a comment, but maybe that explains something? - if such things can be counted as an "explanation."
  6. I can ... but that's because of this: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H6LWPtp1E34/VXlmoKLGJKI/AAAAAAAAc5A/S-YbBseh_Ms/s400/061015_hunter_ejection2_mid_5o3ks842.gif But then, would we remember that pitch to Sano if he hadn't homered? Though I hear ya ... we didn't win the Torii meltdown game. You know ... we were playing the Royals in both instances. I wonder what the last series is going to be like. But I'm hijacking the thread. Sorry ....
  7. Even if we do end up making the playoffs by one game, you can't say that it's all because of that one call since we still have nearly a month ahead of us. Also, you never know what might have happened last night had Sano not had that extra chance to homer. Buxton might have done it for him to lead off the 13th; there's just no saying what could have happened. Now, if it was game 163 and we were down by a single run with 2 outs in the 9th and the same call, same pitch count occurred ... might as well add that there was a base runner and we were home ... then you could say beyond any doubt that we made it because of a bad call. In this instance, though, I feel like it's a bit extreme. Last night I checked out a Royals fan page because I was curious to see their opinion on the call, and while there were (of course) a few people ranting about it, the majority thought that it was 100% on the Royals and that they should have had the game. Some said that the Royals are getting too comfortable with the division lead whereas the Twins are battling for a WC spot, just like last year's Royals. I almost got the impression that they wouldn't be surprised if we went on to win the ALCS. Maybe I shouldn't be flattered though ... it's probably just stemming from the mentality that whoever can beat them must be as good as the Giants.
  8. Lol ... I'll give you one to get stuck in your head. It was my rendition of LeBron James's apology/explanation to Miami after his return to Cleveland. I don't remember the whole thing, but you'll get the gist of it from the chorus: Let me go Let me go Couldn't stay away anymore Let me go Let me go It's not all about the score Here I stand, and here I'll stay Let me go Let me go (The Heat always bothered me anyway.)
  9. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqpt6cBYVe1r0ojhto1_400.gif
  10. OMG I can't handle this stress. http://img.pandawhale.com/83837-Evan-Peters-covering-eyes-gif-mZGz.gif
  11. Well tbh we must be getting pretty close to game LENGTH for this season.
  12. You can see it again for all I care. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view3/1214769/moss-moonin-o.gif
  13. Sorry folks. The blame, as yesterday, again lies on myself.
  14. When do the Rays play in Kauffman again? I'm lovin' that "Sweet Baby Rays" ad for that series ... lolz.
  15. Damn you ... you have me going through my hair now. Do headaches induce white hair? My sisters and mom are always complaining about headaches and they all have gray hair(s), but I could probably count my headaches on one hand and my hair is still fine. Until tonight ... I'm sure this has to be my 6th headache at least. You know ... I wonder if I'm the instigator of those headaches.
  16. WTF?! I have the sound off because my sis is watching that GD TV show Hercule Poirot. And btw ... I'm convinced that he's the mastermind behind all these crimes ... murders follow him like the plague and he always finds someone to set up for it.
  17. YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
  18. Oh. Em. Gee. I know what this is going to turn into.
  19. http://mrwgifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Oh-My-God-Cover-Your-Eyes-Reaction-Gif.gif
  20. ChiTown ... I'm ready for some TUMS.
  21. Last I looked, he was 4-0.
