  1. If you spilled half a beer on a six pound laptop, no wonder it's having problems. That's a BAC of .339! Even 12 hours later it's still a high .135. Give it a full day to sober up.

    1. If it's still a little groggy, go ahead and pour some coffee on it and shove some dry toast in the optical drive.

    2. obviously, your laptop can't hold its liquor.

      on the other hand, it's certainly under age. WTF are you doing? That's irresponsible parenting!

  2. So I've watched two non-Twins athletic contests featuring Minnesota Teams now in 2015.
    1. Saturday night Twolves choking against the Portlands.
    2. Sunday afternoon Vikings not even showing up against the Sealths.
    I don't think I'll be picking up either as a habit.

    Saturday, I couldn't stop calling the home team the Twins.
    Sunday, I kept calling the home team the Wolves.
    Neither of these tics were intentional.

  3. Saturday night 10 of us including Mrs. Runner and I were at a 60th birthday party for a good friend held at one of US's premier Italian restaurants, Tony's, just a couple blocks from the Arch. I had Stuffed Quail/Beef Tenderloin with wild rice, and Mrs. had a grouper dish paired with some delicious wine. The next day none of us went out for lunch together. I know it took some time after I woke up before all systems were online. I'm no foodie, but I could get used to that experience every now and then.

      1. not a charge because Griffin was in the restricted area.
        KG got a tech for taunting after the dunk

  4. The last 30 seconds of this Wolves game is why I'll always love baseball more no matter how appealing any team is. It's been nothing but intentional fouls and timeouts. It's like finishing a NASCAR race under caution.

    1. I love basketball and all that, but this was excruciating. Watching a close, exciting game turn into this depressing free throw exhibition is always irritating. Both teams made the best of the rules available, but it sure was a drag to watch.

        1. Not bothering to research anything, but intentionally fouling someone is supposed to be even more egregious, right (according to the rules)?

          (spoken as someone that also hates the end of every close game.)

    2. It's bad enough when the team losing is fouling intentionally to try to get the ball back, but when the team winning is doing it to avoid a 3-point attempt, that's just awful. It's not sporting. It's not fun or exciting. They have to change the rules. They changed the rules to prevent Hack-a-Shaq (or DeAndre Jordan in this case), they can change the rules to prevent this.

    3. This!
      It's one of the things that bugs me about the NCAA tourney as well. It's 38 minutes of fun, followed by 2 minutes (extended to 20) of play-pause-play-pause-play-pause.
      Gimme baseball any day.
