I have a feeling we're going to have very different answers, depending on the ages of posters.

Here's the next scenario: The Prince of Sex Appeal: You meet a wizard in downtown Minneapolis. The wizard tells you he can make you more attractive if you pay him money. When you ask how this process works, the wizard points to a random person on the street. You look at this random stranger. The wizard says, "I will now make him $1 more attractive." He waves his magic wand. Ostensibly, this person does not change at all; as far as you can tell, nothing is different. But -- somehow -- this person is suddenly a little more appealing. The tangible difference is invisible to the naked eye, but you can't deny that this person is vaguely sexier. This wizard has a weird rule, though -- you can only pay him once. You can't keep giving him money until you're satisfied. You can only pay him one lump sum up front. How much cash are you going to give the Wizard? Let's also keep in mind, this has to be an amount that you can afford, and ultimately justify to your significant other as to why this money has been taken out of the account.

We've got 4 documentaries and 3 hollywood movies... I'm going to keep it a tie as my answer is a Hollywood movie. I'd also like Will Ferrell to be the lead man for me. He'd bring a lot of comedy to my life.. I also have a feeling if I watched the documentary, I'd know who I need to cut out of my life, but I also don't want to be pissed off watching it.

If Jennifer Anniston is portraying ChiTown in the Hollywood movie, let's go heavy rom, light com.....

Very true. What would you choose ChiTown?

Here's something that will warm you up today... Today is National Homemade Soup Day! I used to not care for soup, because that's all I ate when I was sick. Now, I love it! Tomato Basil... Chicken Noodle.... Chicken n' Dumpling.... Does chili also count as soup? Or a completely different category? Texas chili is pretty dang good too. Today is also National Thank a Mail Carrier Day. Considering I live in an apartment, I couldn't tell you what my mail carrier looks like. But for those with homes, thank him or her today!

You're putting the "BRUTAL" in brutally honest! You sure you want your friends and family to see.......that?

These are great features you're putting together Seth. On this particular article, the most important thing I grasped is Shag-waa is how you pronounce that dang name! Every time his name is mentioned on TD, I've read it as Char-Goy... I was WAY off!

We're tied so far with 2 documentaries, and 2 movies. I'll reveal my answer when I introduce the next question. For those that choose big budget movie, think about this: you'll never know how the documentary about you is positioned. For all you know, the directors could have portrayed you as an evil being. Interview people who are long out of your life... Clean out every skeleton from your closet... Are you okay with this? For those that choose documentary, think about this: the big budget movie could be a timeless movie. The kind of movie that's shared from generation to generation. Your character is an iconic figure, like Walter White in Breaking Bad. Are you okay with this?

Would Mike Smith portray you in your Hollywood movie?

It's going to be brutally honest, and terrifying at the same time! Better hope your coworkers don't see it.

In other words, you want robot fights and big explosions involved in your story? At least the teens will show up to your movie!

I like the thought. Then again, when are you ever going to get another chance at having your story glamorized in Hollywood with an A list actor portraying you? And obviously a gorgeous model playing your wife?

That's not an option Craig!

A Life in Film: For whatever the reason, two unauthorized movies are made about your life. The first is an independently released documentary, primarily comprised of interviews with people who know you and bootleg footage from your actual life. Critics are describing the documentary as "brutally honest and relentlessly fair." Meanwhile, Sony Entertainment has produced a big-budget biopic of your life, casting major Hollywood stars as you and all of your acquaintances; though the movie is based on actual events, screenwriters have taken some liberties with the facts. Critics are split on the artistic merits of this fictionalized account, but audiences love it. You can only choose 1 film to watch, and the other movie you will never be able to see in your lifetime. You will only know the reactions from your friends and family about the movie you did not watch. Which movie will you decide to watch?

I will be upfront and say that I stole this idea from the Power Trip Morning Show on KFAN - gotta give credit where credit is due. I heard them talking about the book HYPERtheticals: Questions for Insane Conversations one morning, and it prompted me to buy the book. Since we're in the calm before the storm of Spring Training, I figured I would post a question of the day until the real baseball season begins. Here we go.

2 out of 3 ain't bad! Tommy John was a shot in the dark.

19 players signed their letter of intent to join the Gophers next season. They did lose out on WR Dredrick Snelson, who chose to sign with UCF instead of Minnesota. Good luck joining an 0-12 team pal. Here's the link of the Gophers incoming class if you are interested.

If we were on Family Feud right now, I'd be yelling GOOD ANSWER! GOOD ANSWER!

Agree 100%. I would not have learned how brilliant the shows Sherlock and Luther are without it being on Netflix.

I'm the complete opposite, where I still see value in Netflix, and not so much with Amazon. I use Amazon to catch up on The Americans, which I'm doing a bad job with (still only on season 1) I will say both services have a pretty good selection of TV shows to watch. But when it comes to movies, I think both are pretty poor these days.

1) Tommy John? 2) Gonna guess Bob Feller 3) Has to be Barry Bonds 4) Rickey Henderson.....All I can think of.

If Quentin, Mastroianni, and Benson come even close to the number of PA that Bartlett and Kubel had this spring, it will be a total buzz kill.

I looked back and realized I never posted on this thread before. So hey. My name is Eric, but most people on here call me Vanimal, Van, Van Man, or the Whine Line Guy. I grew up in Mankato, MN and also spent a couple of years in the Twin Cities until the polar vortex winter of 2013 became the final straw for enduring freezing weather. Since then I've been living in Austin, TX and enjoying the warmer temps. Heard about this site several times from John on KFAN, and I was finally drawn into creating an account when Chief started the Over/Under Wins Contest. I wasn't sure how long I'd last on here, because I was not, and still not really, a sabermetrics guy. But there's a lot of avenues and topics to get your feet wet in on this site. If sabermetrics is your thing, you'll find folks who enjoy talking about it. If scorching hot sports takes is your thing, there are threads for that too. And everything in between. There's a lot that I've learned over the last year of posting on this site: - With so many avenues and topics to chime in on, you get to know more about the people behind the screen name. There's a lot of characters on the site, most of them good - It's not all serious and bickering here. The mods do a great job of trimming the bad that you see in other comment sections (Star Tribune I'm looking at you) and you can have fun talking about a range of things. - Sometimes your ideas turn into something good! Minnesota Twins Whine Line thread would have crashed and burned without good contributors who want to poke fun at the team. So jump on in, and enjoy the site. Because this site wouldn't be as fun if everyone were lurkers, and nobody contributed to the conversations.

This is rock bottom for the T-Wolves, right?
