meh, I was thinking the freeways, but I'm sure the smog can clog real arteries too.

Prediction time. I predict a Twins win. This is only the second time all year I've done this. I'm 1 for 1 so far. Go Twins.

Yes

I'm eating venison tonight, so lean meat, no clogged arteries. Of course I'm on my 6th drink, no there may be a tradeoff.

I really wouldn't call it that creative.  It's L-S-L-S-L-S-L-S-R.

 

Creative would be Grossman leading off with Mauer leaning on the dugout steps.

 

Using the LaRussa Maddon strategy. Batting the pitcher in the 8th spot.

Play ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, booze just helps the cholesterol slide on through the veins.

I don't know and I personally rank these questions near the top of my list of important questions yet to be answered. 

 

Right up there with which arm rest is mine at the movie theater.

Oh goody, Roy "I get paid by the word" Smalley is announcing.

The arm rest questions is easily answered: Is the guy next to you bigger? His. Is the female next to you next to a boyfriend who is bigger than you are? Hers. Is the arm rest next to an obnoxious kid who's dad is bigger than you are? theirs. Is the little old lady packing? Hers. Is the wife next to you? Hers.

I missed Sunday's game thread.  Is it worth going to read the ninth inning comments or did people just lose their will to live and/or type comments?

yes.

Anyone who refrains from eating deep dish pizza with only their hands simply lacks courage.

No, we're wise enough to realize that pizza sauce stains are a good way to get on the bad side of the person who does the laundry.

REVENGE game for Hector the Kollector! The beard looks recently trimmed.... Let's play!!

[USAFChief]

I would toss up something about pizza, but I don't do cheesy jokes.

Yeah... That's why I stopped going to movies. No place from my arms. 

[USAFChief]

What's the difference between my jokes and pizza?

I thought the cholesterol greased up the veins to help the booze slide on through.

Yours are ALL cheese with no crust?????

I think the cholesterol narrows the veins, slowing down the blood flow, allowing more of teh alcohol to be absorbed into the brain, making my drinking more efficient.

Just waiting around for that Big Pelf blowup inning....

My jokes can't be topped.

I understand.

I think every pizza can be a "personal pizza," if you just believe in yourself strongly enough.
