The Twins play the Tigers today, and Ricky Nolasco (2-1, 9.00 ERA) will face Kyle Lobstein (3-2, 3.00 ERA), always33 will have lineups and weather after your "Five Things to Think About.” 1. Roommates— Well, one of the things we are going to think about tonight is roommates, but I have a problem, one of my roommates is a sophomore in college who likes to wake me up with songs from Disney movies, and his favorite one is Under the Sea, and here are the lyrics: The seaweed is always green In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for? Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry Guess who's gon' be on the plate Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
Know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea I don't know if I should be offended over them forgetting the cello, but I think that a cello might be offended if it were made to sound sharp in a "hot crustacean band", and by the way, after that description I'm not surprised that Ariel wanted to leave, and it sure ain't nice to hear when I get up in the morning, but you know what? That isn't the most obnoxious thing my roommate does, he roots for the Yankees. 2. Comparisons-- Speaking of the Yankees, I once had to write a paper comparing two things that most people wouldn't think of comparing, but make them think that they were similar, so I wrote a paper comparing the Soviet Union and the New York Yankees, I don't particularly remember what I said, but I might have made an attempt at saying that Stalin and Steinbrenner sound alike, Gorbachev and Girardi had similar success, Cashman and Putin (Putin was a KGB guy) look alike etc. But if I have to write another paper like that I will write a paper comparing the modern day United States Government and Minnesota Twins, both have people complaining about how lax their defense is, how they have to never stop spending money, and how they should go about trading with other countries/teams. I think that paper might get even more interesting than the other, and who knows? I might even find a way to compare Mike Radcliff and Rand Paul. 3. Accents-- Okay, we were just talking about the United States, and I would like to point out to anybody who doesn't know this (I hope you all know this), but different regions of the United States have different accents, and even different areas inside the same state have different accents, but some people like to put broader descriptions out there and just say "Southern accent," or "New England accent", but this is hard to tell what exactly a person means, sort of like how sometimes we couldn't tell what exactly an announcer meant if they all they said was, "The ball was caught in the air" because it could have been caught by any fielder, a fan, or the announcer himself. Well what I am trying to get at here is that there is such a thing as a "Silicon Valley accent," you may not have necessarily heard it before, but if you have had computer problems and call the company who made the computer, called the Twins because you wanted a schedule, or even changed garbage services you most likely have heard it, and what they usually say is, "Your call is on hold, please wait," and then go on with an attempt to brainwash you into thinking they are the best, nicest company ever, but usually have you thinking otherwise by the time they are done. My family once even had a weather radio that talked with a Silicon Valley accent, and even that would convince you to think the opposite of what they were trying to tell you, and I think that might be the Twins front office, the media, chronic liars, and countless other people's problems. 4. Garbage-- I think I just mentioned this somewhere, but I was talking about garbage services, and right now I am going to talk about the actual garbage. Have you ever smelled bananas or strawberries that were beginning to rot? That is garbage, and sometimes you actually eat it, but the thing that I ate that tasted the most like garbage was melted swiss cheese toast, and I am going on the record right now to warn anyone who hasn't tried it that it is comparable to 2011-14 Twins pitching, and there I go comparing things again, I guess if I wrote a paper comparing melted swiss cheese toast and Twins pitching I might shock my teacher. 5. Twins Daily-- The last game thread I did I talked about "The Origin of Game Threads," but thankfully ChiTown corrected me on Sunday and informed me that there was no big bang, and that Twins Daily and Game Threads had a creator, but she did not announce whether or not she came across any missing links well she was researching them, but my guess is that she did not, because Brock has done a great job keeping Twins Daily up and going, and I would like to thank all the Twins Daily owners and moderators for taking care of such a wonderful website, it has become just about the only website I go on, and that is why my percentage of missing links per page has gone down significantly, why I rarely go on my other social media websites anymore, and why I even forget to check my emails, so when I finally remember to check them I have tons of emails in my inbox, and missed all the rare bird alerts.
