You should know. When it's winter in California, it's time to wear socks with sandals! 

No, I'm not old enough to wear socks with sandals. And, hopefully, I never will be.

 

Now, black socks, dress shoes and Bermuda shorts? I got that down!

This is big news!!!!!

And no matter how many times people are told not to plug space heaters into cubicle outlets or surge arresters, they do it anyway.

 

You'll also appreciate this as an IT guy... Ours was refurbishing a laptop for a new hire on Monday, and the laptop needed to be plugged in as the battery was shot. 

This is an accurate representation of him when the power was cut off from her 2 space heaters.

I can't believe it's page 4 and no mention of stocking hat night - the best of all annual Twins promotions! For the last 6 seasons these hats have been the concilatory and comforting send offs to the cold of winter - but tonight they return once more to being a jaunty and joyous accessory to your postseason wardrobe! Thank you Twins!

Be fun to have one. Sort of a commemorative token of getting to the playoffs.

1. Rochester – In this city of 112,224 human beings and 679,000 Canadian geese, health care takes center stage with a rather large clinic dedicated to the treatment of injuries involving Mayonnaise. Each year 1.3 million patients come to Rochester because of these Mayonnaise injuries. Most of these injuries occur because of mistaken assumptions that salad dressing is the same thing. These types of injuries are obvious to all so no further explanation is needed from me. American City Business Journal has ranked Rochester second in the country for quality of life based on the high levels of income and education. Those high levels of income and education create rich know-it-all’s who understand the difference between salad dressing and Mayo.

 

 

Yeah, that is about right as far as canada geese...

 

One was always reminded to wipe one's shoes after walking around Silver Lake.

Call me obtuse, but it took me awhile to figure out you were talking about Rochester, Minnesota and not the home of our beloved Red Wings Rochester, NY

Yeah, this kinda confounded me in the other direction whem following Micheal Restovich through our farm system in the aughts.

I actually found a picture of North, and we can confirm. Some times he wears clothes. 

 

Jesus, how did that picture make it on the internet!!!!

 

Oh....wait......maybe that bottle of rye played a role.

The #MNTwins have reinstated Miguel Sano from the disabled list. He is now active for the Detroit series.

I agree... it has started well. 

[Blake]

Hopefully, this thread has not peaked too soon. 

[AlwaysinModeration]

Detroit has an incentive to lose all of the games this weekend; they have one more win than SF for the top draft pick.

Weird it comes 1 day after National Drink a Beer day (I know some of you didn't know, so I had 2 to make up for it.....)

Oh, geez. Guess that means I have to drink two today.

#5 reminds me of when I pull into the garage after an errand or trip and my wife tells me to turn off the car.   Geez, you make one mistake.

Now I have a legitimate excuse not to work! A co-worker next to me decided one space heater wasn't enough and plugged in 2 space heaters, resulting in blown surge... Phones and internet is down. 

Win/win!

Identity crisis or inferiority complex?

[yarnivek1972]

Looks like Bad Kyle has returned.

[Aggies7]

This is why I didn't give a flip about "backing in"...tigers going to town on gibson

[Riverbrian]

I continue to not be concerned but I was hopeful that Gibson could maintain decentness

[twinsnorth49]

Well, Gibson's ready.

So, going to actually work today or mail it in?

 

I think we have Kyle Gibson's answer.

Well, he's in mid-season form, at least.

[h2oface]

Tuned up.

Yes, I'd be surprised if the ol' "spot them a big crooked number in the first inning before settling down" gag will work in the playoffs

5. Doors – I pushed on a pull door yesterday. Guy next to me says, “It’s a pull.” Thank God he told me because my natural instinct was to try lifting from the bottom during my 2nd attempt at entry.

Caught in the act...
