I'm in alignment with everyone here that pistachios>>almonds. One of my coworkers has me hooked right now on the salt and pepper pistachios from Costco. Those things are crazy addicting.

I think a really pressing matter in whether or not I want to use this Dream DVR is this... How fast can we fast forward through the commercials to get back to the dreams? What would the commercials entail? Is it just a blank screen until we get back into REM sleep in order to dream?

Good find, I wouldn't have put that piece together. I wonder if Gus will be introduced this season, or if he's going to come into play in a future season?

Floor To Ceiling: Berrios, Jay And Stewart
Vanimal46 replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'm just piling on here but yes, the floors for both Jay and Stewart are way too high. Berrios is close enough to getting his shot in the MLB that his floor/ceiling makes sense. I'm sure if this article was written 3-4 years ago Meyer's floor was back of the rotation starter, and ceiling top of the rotation starter.... Now we're hoping he can be a 6th/7th inning bullpen guy. A lot of things can happen between A ball and AAA to get these players off track. -
Thoughts on the season premiere? So far so good in my book.

Charting The Competition: Chicago White Sox
Vanimal46 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
From a long term perspective I agree, the Twins have the depth and upside over the Sox and Tigers. What the Sox and Tigers have over the Twins is a larger payroll. The Sox have both Danks and LaRoche's horrific contracts coming off the books next year, $40 million total with their other expiring contracts. Who knows if they make a splash in FA or choose to sell/rebuild beginning next season. EDIT: Math isn't my strong suit anymore.... -
Charting The Competition: Chicago White Sox
Vanimal46 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'm with RiverBrian. As Twins fans, I don't think there's a team in this division that can be overlooked. From a pitching standpoint, the White Sox seem to have the upper hand over the Twins in at least 3 spots, possibly 4 if Latos finds his way again. This division is tough to predict. You can make cases for any team to finish in 1st place, and just as many cases for any team to finish in last place. -
I would say that if you do it, your friends and family also have to do it. I rarely remember dreams, so it'd be interesting to know what I do dream about normally. The only ones I remember are the NSFW ones and being chased by a serial killer type person.

You don't want to open that can of worms, eh Craig? May have to explain to your wife why one of her friends is dressed a certain way in your dreams?

*Browses the Twins forums* *Still sees that Mauer's blurred vision is a main topic of conversation* *Crawls back into the Sports Bar* Well we haven't updated this in a few days... Today is National Almond Day! I like almonds, but are they the best nut for a snack? Debatable. Today is also National Do a Grouch a Favor Day! I think we're all doing Mike a favor by keeping him more positive......

Dream DVR: At long last, someone invents "the dream DVR." This machine allows you to tape an entire evening's worth of your own dreams, which you can then watch at your leisure. However, the inventor of the dream DVR will only allow you to use this device of you agree to a strange caveat: When you watch your dreams, you must do so with your family and your closest friends in the same room. They get to watch your dreams along with you. And if you don't agree to this, you can't use the dream DVR. Would you still do this?

North answered the question perfectly yesterday. That would be my answer as well. On to today's question....

That's why I wanted to be #33 in hockey and baseball as well. Patrick Roy was a great player to watch growing up. I just read this on his wikipedia page, and he may have mentioned this on the video too... "Morneau had a superstitious routine on game days in Minnesota. Before each home game, Morneau stopped by the same Jimmy John's Gourmet Subs, on Grand Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota and ordered the same sandwich from the menu: Turkey Tom with no sprouts. Later, he drank a slurpee from a slurpee machine in the Twins' clubhouse made of one-half Mountain Dew, one-half red or orange flavor" Do we respect him less for his choice of Jimmy John's before every game???

Duplicate articles?

Those poor souls... They'll never get to experience the pure joy of a Minnesota Simpsons thread, Hypertheticals, National Holidays, the latest and greatest TV shows, or Minnesota Twins Whine Line..... -
Brilliant!

Reusse article on Adam Brett Walker
Vanimal46 replied to gunnarthor's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Agree with you 100%. While I'm more aggressive with our other elite prospects like Buxton and Berrios with wanting to see them in the MLB ASAP, Walker seems like he needs to take more time in AA to improve on the peripherals before they toss him to the wolves in AAA or MLB. I don't see the harm in him repeating AA for April/May. If he's hitting the snot out of the ball while decreasing his k rate, that's a win win and should be able to transition to AAA better. -
Today's Question: Synesthesia: You are forced to give up one of your five senses (smell, sight, taste, touch or hearing). However, you may choose to compensate for the loss by means of synesthesia. For example, if you decide to give up your sense of sight, you can choose to smell colors instead. Or if you give up hearing, you might opt to taste music. If you give up taste, you could replace this sensation by feeling flavors. Basically, whatever sense you reject would be reflected through an alternative medium. Which of your senses would you surrender and how would you replace it?

Happy Monday. I woke up and thought my vision was blurred like Mauer's seeing article after article about Mauer's blurred vision. I'm going to stay safe in the Sports Bar until further notice... Unless there are scorching HOT Mauer takes that I can't help myself but reply to. Anyways, to answer my question from last week, I'm choosing the body boost. As I already mentioned I'm 25 with 2 hip surgeries under my belt. I'd love to continue to play goalie in hockey again without the chance of hurting my leg again, and be able to golf until my 90's with no pain thank you very much. I'm not sure if having more intelligence is a blessing or a curse. I think a lot of friendships and relationships could be ruined because you're no longer able to have the same conversations with each other.

All 3 are incorrect... at least they weren't mentioned on the website I found this obscure baseball trivia question on/
-
Here's a brain buster for you. Who was the first player in All-Star game history to bat against the same pitcher 10 or more years apart? Bonus points if you can name the pitcher and years of the all star games.

I would imagine it would. I'm not married yet, but I do remember one thing I took away from an intro to Psychology class I took in college that people typically have a more successful marriage if they choose a partner with the same education level as them. Which makes sense; if you were a PhD and married a high school dropout you probably wouldn't have a lot in common.
-
Another thing I thought about. For those that are choosing intelligence, is it worth having that over never catching a common cold, flu, or allergies? Now that I've been in TX for coming up on 2 years, the allergies are catching up to me. Cedar allergies are no joke....
