My neighbor is having a bon fire tonight with free beer and wine. I kind of wanted to stay through my 500th post but the way this game is going I think I like the free booze better. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to hit 500 (unless a Moderator can make that happen). Technically, sitting through this game and season should automatically give us a 10 post jump in our numbers. Moderators?
You and RiverBrian need to start a separate thread. The superstition will make you crazy. Here is the call: TWINS HAVE THIS GAME IN THE BAG! (inspite of the bad Twins pitching)... Trust me.
He won't pass immigration questionnaire. Immigration official: How many runs do you give up in a typical inning? Pat, "6". Immigration official: What is you're ERA? Pat, "14" Canadian immigration official: "DENIED"
I said this the other night. Going to say it again: Imagine how much fun these threads will be when we are in a World Series run... Not delusional. Just staying positive.
Just another Canadian question. Why a 6:07pm start time? I see 6:10, 7:10, 6:05, 7:05, etc. on a regular basis. Is it their national anthem that makes the start time seem irregular? Just curious.
Sorry to restart the topic but I kind of like Gordon Lightfoot. I think he's Canadian. "Sundown better take care If I've seen you been walking around my back stair" or something like that...
Great intro! Loved the GPA comments. Reminded me of the time in High School when I raced home to get the grades that were mailed home that day out of the mailbox before my parents got home...Too late. Mail was already picked up. Walked into the kitchen and on the table were my grades with a personal handwritten note on them from my dad. It was a simple note. Direct and to the point...It read: "with grades like these you seriously should not rule out community college. Look at it this way, half the people you pass in the hall each day in school are doing better than you." (my class rank was 330/678). My kids found those not too long ago. They roared with laughter at Granddads note.
