Welcome to the world of blogging!

Thanks, ChiTown. I know I'm hardly the personification of perfection (probably a lot closer to the other end of the spectrum), but it is EXACTLY this reason I am barely present on here anymore - and I'm sure I speak for a broad range of posters. I won't say any more on the subject because you handled it a lot better than I ever could ... but thanks. And by the way, kudos on keeping it down to 1,285 words.

Man, you guys. It's cumin. And chili powder. And Nirvana. And Nirvana. Is Mary Ann a spice or an analogy?

Yup, I said "were" - that's all you need to know. Sigh. However, when I begin to feel like we don't know how to win, I find consolation in the thought that the Twins really don't know how to win. Buxton does, yes. The Twins do not. Five things I recently realized I don't know how to do: 1 - Use a TV. Yup. I kid you not. Still learning. 2 - Use a dishwasher. Mmhmm. 3 - Laundry. Ugh. Why do I not know how to do this? I want to move to some remote island in the Caribbean so I don't have to worry about these things anymore. Anyone on board with this idea? Wait … it might be a bad idea to place this advertisement on a sports forum with a high population of slightly-below-average looking single young men. Never mind … anyway, I don't want Brock or ChiTown to ban me. 4 - Go Twins. Gave that up a while ago. (Go Sox!!) 5 - Discuss. /Edit: Sorry, Dinger. Sorry, Chief. I was busy.

I'm not on social media. I just frequently log into my evil twin's account.

Catching requires more athleticism than pitching, imo. Hrbowski and I have had many an argument on who's more athletic, the sp or catcher ... I'm right, btw. Ya'll are going to hate me for saying this, but my vote goes to gymnasts.

So THAT's where Hunter Pence finds his inspiration. When Brock shared Gone with the Blastwave, I probably read it two or three times in a row just to revel in its absolute perfectness. And then I couldn't stop harassing my friend about it. It's just so ... perfect. I need to go read it again. http://www.blastwave-comic.com/comics/045.jpg

Okay, okay, I've grown used to the constant criticism my compositions come under, but of all the things I've been accused of doing, I believe alliteration is the most far-fetched.

How about a lesson in distinguishing between plural and singular nouns? \m/

There's a reason we don't allow math in the game threads.

Aggies7: Okay, okay ... just kidding. And talking about being easily perturbed, I was teasing. Careful next time you feel like accusing someone of not getting a joke. Or ... http://i.qkme.me/3sbt4i.jpg ... or if you're dead serious.

There's a 19 yr old hot single female Twins fan here looking to remain single who objects to slightly below average looking single male twins fans associating a lack of understanding about the game with good looking females. Goodnight. :3

No need for the pleonasm; we get Canadian vernacular.

Wai-wai-wait a minute. I demand credit where credit's due. Those are no tomes ... I include all five volumes of each work. Every time.

So you mean I've been doing it right all along?

Better monitor their intake or those bases will need treatment before long.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume Van's gf didn't have siblings. Spoken from long experience, if while folding laundry a little sibling sweetly offers to help, you can count on it they're going to do a pretty ****ty job, but you let them do it anyway because the last thing you want to do is discourage them from being cheerful helpers. If it's not satisfactory, you wait to refold the whole load until after the sibling goes on to another activity because you're a great big sister. Buuuut I'm probably sounding like a bitch, and, to be clear, I have absolutely nothing against Vanimal's girlfriend ... lol.

I thought compromising was a necessary component in a long-term relationship ... Seems like we need to pull an old quote from this thread: "Just be an adult, and don't get pissed over stuff that just doesn't matter all that much......" ~Mike the Wise Mike Sixel and Jimmer's wife know how it works, at any rate. And ChiTown. ✌️

First time someone your age has made me feel like I have any worthwhile number of years under my belt ... Lyra crayons ... did I call them pencils? I sharpen them with the sharpener that came with my brothers' set ... though tbh, most my art supplies belong to the whole family, but I'm an elitist snob who doesn't let people who aren't as good as me "waste" the high quality supplies on inferior works. The only one who holds a candle to me is my older sister who went on to bigger and better things years ago. Oh, and the crayons are water soluble, so I draw with them and then use a paint brush and water to blend. I love calligraphy and learning different handwriting, and my first job was signing a gazillion envelopes for a wedding. Have you done needlepoint? I started these kitties at least ten years ago and probably haven't worked on them for five years. I'm terrible that way ... it's one of the reasons I have so much junk, I guess.

I honestly thought it was the Austin spelling. My bad ... and thanks for enlightening me on that subject.

Acheiving?

You have a craft drawer? My family wishes I'd cut down to that. I have art supplies strewn throughout the house ... fortunately, they make up pretty much all of my possessions. My sister wanted to get something out of the back of a closet the other day and could only laugh when I pulled out boxes and bags full of acrylics, watercolors, pastels, crayons, pencils, and Conté à Paris (my go-to) ... not to mention paper and boards and that kind of thing. And yarn. Lot's of yarn. I guess that's not an art supply, but you wouldn't believe how addictive yarn is until you try knitting or crocheting. Or weaving, but I haven't done that since I was nine. My mom wants me to join yarnoholics anonymous, if that's a thing. Speaking of crayons, I have these, not Crayola. They're pretty cool and are bolder applicants. I usually use them like watercolor pencils, but a while ago I was using them as lipstick. My mom put an end to that one pretty quick for fear that I'd succumb to some rare disease caused by the gradual ingestion of artist grade crayons ... and I have to admit that real lipstick tastes a lot better. I've never heard of 21 Jump Street, so I can't exactly judge. If you find my lack of knowledge disturbing, you're more than welcome to ban me anyway. And when it comes to Johnny Depp, I've only seen Edward Scissorhands and all the PotC, and I watched the former because of my love, Winona Ryder. Also, reading the Wiki article Craig shared makes me want to try daifuku and manjū ...

I've never had a dilly bar. Or a graduation party, for that matter. Am I missing out on something? I suppose if I had friends outside of the realm of online forums I might've had both, but that's what I get for being an introvert ...

Ew, why would anyone willingly eat soft serve as long as ice cream exists? I color in my own drawings, if that counts. I hardly paint anymore, but I'll occasionally pull out the old Prismacolor pencils (I'm spoiled so I have a selection of 150) and color in a sketch. Or sometimes it's a little more than a sketch, as Captain Jack Sparrow took me more than a few minutes to complete ... but as long as it's in a notebook, it's probably still just a sketch.
