Concur. Elegant & refreshing. Can't wait to catch up on the next 5 pages! And for once i am posting from the central time zone myself... Not that it is significant...

Yes,

Anyway, i'm off. Have fun stormin' the Castle!

I appreciate the support! This may sound kinda obvious, but lumberjacking will have to wait until i get an axe. Hatchet just won't cut it... well, in a timely fashion, what with having to drive soon. But i still don't know the answer and i feel i should now: if a tree falls in the backyard, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound. I wasn't there... But i get to clean up after it. Once i'm back from my drive. At least i mowed the front lawn.

At least they have to be good at hockey.

Wait... Truckers are allowed to stop? There are trucker brethren? On the grand scheme of things, this sounds like a great relief, but the significance of the question "are we there yet?" is somehow diminished... I too am about to embark on a bit of a drive, so i'll perhaps only be chiming in on ye olde game thread via wireless device from gas stations and rest stops. But first... i want to be... A Lumberjack!

Chief says never to explain a joke, but yeah, this was kinda out there... Goat wins sounds eerily similar to Go Twins... Sorry i missed it on the first pass.

I thought we were an autonomous collective...

I did like the Christian Bail post to get Batman out of church... That had not occurred to me. Regarding the game, at least we had a lead. Wild pitch somehow sounds more exciting than it really is. I am glad there will be other game threads...

The end of the Billy goat gruff story?

With gently bent fingers, i would assume. But i'm no expert.

Oh, did we ever find out about Batman skipping Church? or was left as an exercise to the reader?

Actually no one has to. But that makes it special. Or something. Thanks! I shall reiterate. Go Twins! If you will it, it is no dream.

0K then!

The question "did we win yet?" is starting to take on a different significance. But it still needs to be asked...

5-0 The Regals ahead of the Bituplets in the 6th. The ball has left the um, ball room. CozyBananaUpDate... What all i miss?

Yes.

"Only be sure to call it research!" (from a song that gives the secret of success in mathematics... that i quote tongue in cheek)

Yes. Or perhaps a tight or closed structure vs. an loose or open one. Humor often does have a structure, or it tends to fall flat... Now i'm trying to come up with a pithy way to contrast dark knight and sunday as an answer... not yet succeeding.

Also very good! But i am gonna keep trying to figure out what Chief has in mind... Guessing riddles is like crosswords clues without the number of letters and inherent crosschecking...

Sorry. Yeah i knew whatcha meant. I was just being pedentic. Or something. For my own personal amusement. It does tend to get in the way of informed discussion from time to time... I'll try to work on that.

Sounds like a toughy... An es-caped crusador?

Also called a bench? Would that everyone could get playing time... Anyway, looking forward to seeing how Mr. Arcia does in his first chance to play.

Purely coincidence then , that they are out? But now they are pinch hitting options, eh? You never know when they could come to bat. I like that. Like Molitor is keeping an ace up his sleave.

This line of reasoning doesn't necessarily bode well... Just remember, who laughs last, laughs best... Maybe i can come up with a joke or tutu. Er, i mean two too.
