Yeah, I know ... I grew up not far from there. I think the KFC used to be a place called Chicken Villa.

Did KFC move?

Extra crispy or original recipe? We need a poll.

Personally, I will forgo the chicken for donuts.

Before that place in Winona was KFC, it was called Chicken Villa. Bet you didn't know that.

Indiana Twin is going to bring us all donuts from the Amish bakery when we clinch the playoff spot.

But he said he wanted the most interesting ...

Honestly, I'm of the mindset that the opening game within that particular playoff series, in baseball. So, at the WC game, play it at the 1st of the 5-game division series and at the 1st of the 7-game league championship series, and at each game during the WS. During season ... at the home opener, Memorial Day, July 4 ... but every game? No. I might acquiesce (as a compromise) to play it at a the beginning of a 3 or 4-game series ... but I still feel that's too much. Or maybe play it on Sundays. Again, I just feel it's overplayed and misused. And 'God Bless America' ... go away ... I don't even like the song. Again, bring it out for Memorial Day and/or July 4 ... but just let it go. I understand why it started, but now it's just overplayed and misused.

I remember this. I also remember some kids intentionally misinterpreting the message when they passed it along.

Um ... did you 'steal' this question from my FB page? One of my responders posted this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/09/24/how-the-national-anthem-and-subverting-it-became-a-pregame-tradition-in-america/?utm_term=.15b6dc323d46 Let's blame the Cubs. But seriously ... I hate that it gets played before EVERYTHING. It makes it common and many don't even pay attention anymore. To me that's worse than one player (now many) kneeling in protest. Kneeling ... not blocking traffic, not being violent, not waving tiki torches ... silently kneeling. I just don't get the uproar ... and most don't even know what the protest is about to begin with. But that aside ... I just think it's over done. For me ... despite the history of the poem itself, another can or worms that Craig put out there to be opened ... I still stand and sing it. I lived out of the country for a while, so there is personal meaning in it for me to be able to sing it (unless the 'performance' of it is so awful, which happens more often than not, rendering it impossible to sing along, then I just stand in silence). However ... I wonder if I'd feel the same if I attended every, single sporting event out there. I also really, really, really dislike many of the performances of it. For me, that denigrates the anthem far worse than a player's silent protest. We perform it at the start of every season. It used to be at every concert in that opening week cycle, but now it's just to the opening performance and special occasions. When the orchestra was on tour in Europe during 9/11, they played the Anthem to start that night's concert. It was something the orchestra voted on to do. There was discussion if even the concert should be played but this was what the group decided to do. That was meaningful. But in front of every, single sporting event ... I think it's misused.

I just read one review that said it was really good. Missed the first episode but was wondering what everyone thought.

Well, either that or no one can think of an example right now.

I knew you were saying Mauer and it was an auto-correct ... I just used it for my entertainment.

Indiana Twin will be bringing in donuts tomorrow for his office.

Gonna go out and have chicken for dinner tonight! Yay!

Who's Mayer? My bologna's second name?

On the subject of Escobar, this is all I have to say: I <3 Escobar!

This thread has gone way off topic now into the ridiculous of arguing differing philosophical business practices. While some might argue that it is related to the topic, it no longer is. If someone has any thing new to report on the specific issue of DM, and not giving your opinions on it yet again, fine. If not, move along.

You are the one who obviously spent too much time at Chief's B&B

Please stay on topic ... Sano and his injury. This is not about the Twins medical staff. If you want to discuss that, please start your own thread.

Oh! No wonder! Now you tell me!

Cheer on without me! Big gala concert tonight at work ... ugh ... I'm even wearing lipstick it's so fancy!
