More free beer might help.

So far it's 0-0 heading into the First.  This has been your Wild Turkey score update, brought to you by Wild Turkey. http://www.winemarket.co.il/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/100x100/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/5/0/5000027.jpg

So that's the contest? Fill in the 'and' with Chiefian comment? Oh ... so many ways to go with that ...

Psst. ChiTown. It's like Jeopardy, you have to word it in the form of a weird west coast hippy idea, whatever that may be.

 

Like this:

 

'We don't like us no west coast hippies nor their weird ideas about "daylight savings time" and "Punch Line Contests"... We just wanna talk us some BaseBall!'

 

Anyway, i'll try to talk baseball too... (Pause to gather thoughts...)

Er, ashburyjohn is far faster and better at the explainings than i.

 

Yeah, you got it.

Well ... if it's to punchline Chief ... it has to be something like this:

 

'We don't like us no west coast hippies nor their weird ideas about "daylight savings time" and get off my lawn'

ftfy.

 

Was afraid the rate you were going, you might not get past the fifth...

 

 

 

'We don't like us no west coast hippies nor their weird ideas about "daylight savings time" and new-fangled contraptions like fire'

 

Okay, I'm done. I think that about covers Chief.

 

Looking over the lineup, am i right in saying this is pretty much the standard Twins starting lineup, now that Dozier and Hunter are settling into their new roles?

 

No strange platooning/substitutions, we're running out our best in the abstract, and giving them a chance.

If Brian falls asleep after all that coffee, and does not wake up, drooling will not be his only problem!

I saw my first flock of wild turkeys in a pastoral setting last fall.  We saw them all the time within the less populated areas of Sioux City but somehow they don't make a great impression when they are blocking the road.

 

But last fall I saw a flock in the country amongst old trees in pastureland.  What a gorgeous site.  Not as majestic as Bald Eagles but still beautiful creatures.  I'd love to see a fight so I could see those blue heads!!  I did see some with tails fully spread.

. While they don't make a great impression on the road they will in the grill of your vehicle! If you really want to see turkeys fight, couldn't you just go to a KC/Chicago game? Hell, you might even get a Hawk involved also!

'...and "_________"'?

 

All right, sounds like a Punch Line Contest to me! As usual, the Winner^* gets bragging rights until the next PLC.

 

I'll go first, 'and "Education Beyond Third Grade"', but I'm sure someone will do better.

 

_{^* Determined by acclaim, or else arbitrarily by me in the coming 24 hours.}

"Universal health care"

.......and......Indoor Plumbing!

Wild Turkey.  When we came back from Nam in the Navy we stopped in Guam and could each bring back 5 fifths of hootch.  One of my bottles was Wild Turkey, naturally. 

 

Having survived the long drive from Ft Myers to the north shore of Lake Superior, I probably won't make the end of this game, but ill stick around long enough for us to get a lead. 

From what I understand, Brian's NW Mn turkey had gotten a nod from the chicken in the road ditch! So he decided to try and sneak across the road, because he figured Brian would not see him in time! Just as he got to the centerline, Brian looked up from his IPhone and sped up his 2003 Hyundai, and nailed the Turkey just before he reached the far shoulder. While the argument rages whether Brian should have sped up the Hyundai, the fact remains the Turkey should have been happy where he was!

Brian sold the dodge??!?

 

So that's the contest? Fill in the 'and' with Chiefian comment? Oh ... so many ways to go with that ... 

I left it open-ended enough to go many ways. Just as long as it's funny. Chief just wrote a post that seemed like it was missing the last few words. So here's our chance to help him out.

Since it's a Chiefism, I think he should pick the winner.

 

'We don't like us no west coast hippies nor their weird ideas about "daylight savings time" and "Punch Line Contests"...

By George I think he's got it.

Oh ... since this was a sentence Chief started, I thought we had to finish it like Chief might. 

ftfy.

COL.  (Chuckle Out Loud. Not a full LOL but pretty darn good.)

Here's my rather detailed prediction.  Hughes and Felix are both effective, with each team only scoring a run in the first seven innings.  Felix leaves and the Twins score big off the bullpen and win comfortably 9-2.

Hmm ... so Hughes goes the whole game?

So far no bench-clearing incidents in the ChiSox-Royals game, but it's really cold out there.

 

and could each bring back 5 fifths

I think that's technically called a "One".  "Hey guys, look at this, I brought a One for the party!"

Oh ... since this was a sentence Chief started, I thought we had to finish it like Chief might. 

That's approximately the idea. But if it's a cartoon version of Chief, so much the better.

As long as it is cold.

 

I have it on good authority that "a one that is not cold is scarcely a one at all."

If only we could have our ace going up against theirs, but Big Pelf pitched the other night.

 

If you think a 9:10pm start time is bad, I wonder what it would be like if you were living in the Eastern time zone ... just sayin' ...

 

 

 

 

I don't know why the entire Eastern time population doesn't move to Kansas. They could at least watch Letterman or Kimmel at a decent hour.
