  1. Lorde writes a hit inspired by George Brett. Royals make the playoffs for the first time in 29 years. Coincidence?

          1. ...however, the gag wore thin for me by the second use. If you say "retire this because the joke is over," I can live with that and pull it after today.

            1. retire this because the joke is over in light of the broader, emergent context of renewed attention to sexual violence.

    1. Honestly, it wasn't removed because I have limited time on the computer with access to the source. Last time the issue was raised, I simply forgot when I had access 12 hours later. This time, it's only four hours and it's been removed from the rotation.

    1. We just had Crostini with Crab and White Beans. Delish.

      I used backfin crab, altho jumbo lump would be better, but it's twice the cost...

      (Recipe for 2)

      Squeeze 1/2 lemon juice into medium bowl. Scrape lemon zest also into the juice. Add 1/8 c. olive oil, salt, pepper, 1/2 finely chopped jalapeno, and chopped garden oregano. Mix, then add 1/2 lb. crab meat - toss and throw into the fridge to set.

      Slice a baguette on a long bias into 6 3/4 inch slabs. Spray with olive oil Pam and cook at 350F for 10 mins until crusty.

      Juice the other half of the lemon into a blender - add 1.5 tbsp oil, 8 oz Cannellini beans, 1/3 garlic, some salt/pepper and 1/8 c. water - puree to a paste.

      Right before serving, spoon the bean paste onto the crostini, then top with the cold crab salad. The bean paste serves as a nice binder for the crab mix.

      Enjoy, my Friends!

  2. I started by looking to see if any Twin's baseball was on (isn't till later), then surfed past some beheading news reports, and landed on the History Channel - featuring the Hittites. I don't know much about the H'ers so started watching.

    They must have spent $75-82 dollars to produce this documentary. All of the announcers have a poser accent. There are at the max 11 reused actors/actresses. Lots of flames and people pretending to be dead. All their historians wear John Denver glasses.

    Click is the sound just made by my TV remote.

    1. In 7th grade church class, a classmate pronounced Hittites as hit titties. That teacher never had a prayer the rest of the class.

      1. During confirmation class, a classmate was reading us a passage for discussion and accidentally said genitals instead of Gentiles.

    2. If those History Channel features weren't allowed to reuse graphics or to summarize what's been said every 10 minutes, they could get those one hour shows down to 20 minutes, tops.

  3. Goofers absolutely rolling Michigan at the big house! Little Brown Jug is coming home.
