I've had that oh-e-oh-e-oh but stuck in my head since watching Purpke Rain a few nights ago.

DAY GAMES ALERT: The Twins action starts early today, as Fort Myers, with Tyler Jay pitching, takes on Jupiter at 9:30 a.m. Central. If that's not enough, at noon Central Rochester is in Buffalo. Enjoy some day baseball!
Logan Darnell with a 4-hit shutout in a 4-0 win. 4 BBs, no Ks. 13 groundball outs. Buxton with a double and a triple and no Ks in 5 ABs.
I feel like a poser having never watched Purpke Rain. I will correct that soon.
Me either. I can't even sing any of the song beyond "Purpke rain...purpke rain"
I specifically went back and edited that last night and my phone acted like it was done. I keep saying it's upgrade time, yet here we are.
Have to evade the lawyer searchers somehow.
I have to admit, even in a bluegrass style, that opening chord progression sounds awesome
and the country take also works well
I watched it when Rifding Homke lent me his copy.
Hokme (damn autocorrect!)
I had that at first and went back and changed it.
Wait...which one is it? I've always thought it was "Homke", but I do have a tendency to swap around letters.
I've always been pronouncing it Hokme, and Google seemed to agree with me.
How awesome is it that teh Google can settle that vital question.
I was unaware of athletes doing this. I don't think I'd do it, but a) it's not like I'll ever have to make the decision, so it's easy to say, and b) I don't necessarily know everyone's situation to know whether it might make sense for someone or not.
What I gleaned from this article is that Wall Street will do anything to open new bond markets for investors, and the investor class have so much money now they can't find enough investments for all of it.
Well I guess it could be viewed as a type of insurance for the athlete.
That's how I see it, especially for someone like Duffey that is still years away from making more than the league minimum. Think of how many pitchers with Duffey's track record never see a big free agent contract due to injury or some other circumstance.
That and a chance for fans to play Fantasy Baseball with real money.
Plus, maybe people will stop complaining about how high players' salaries get when they might be invested in that cash stream.
Tough day at work yesterday. On the way in I met a colleague on the way out and got the heads up on the situation. I was spared, but this goy has a much deeper appreciation for Passover today.
Congrats on missing (or making?) the cut.
Ugh, I've been there. Never a pleasant day, especially when it happens unexpectedly. I expected it to happen at my old place of employment, which is why I got out. It hasn't happened yet, but I did hear two other guys recently left.
A couple jobs ago, we knew it was going to be a crappy day when a couple VPs suddenly showed up first thing in the morning. Those are awful days.
It's a free magazine, so I'm not increasing sales at all, maybe just circulation.
Circulation of the magazine or the readership?
I meant "increase in number of copies picked up from the free bin", which I suppose is readership, you're right.
Cool!
Sweet – congrats, Mags! A friend of mine plays in the People's Republic gay hockey league and loves it. Sounds like there's similar community in your league.
Good deal. Congratulations!
That's a great picture. Congrats!
You look hard core.
What does the future wife say?
That ought to increase attendance!
Asking you guys to show up sure hasn't worked! 😉
Stick excepted.
Good call on wearing the shortest shorts. I think that's what got you to the front of the line!
Honestly, it was because I taped my wrist. I tried to defer, but it quote "looked badass" unquote.
FYI if you are a slingtv user and doen't care about ESPN/2 and Disney:
This is a big deal. Thanks for sharing. I've been able to piece together enough streaming tv through password sharing and a few small subscriptions to make a nice little personal television package, but the one major hole has been lack of live Twins.
The Fox Sports Go app has the Twins on it via my parents' cable package, but it's not Chromecast compatible unfortunately.
Open Foxsportsgo on Chrome tab, cast that way?
I was doing the same, but it stopped working with the new update yesterday, which really sucked.
My Droid Turbo can cast its screen to ChromeCast, so I was able to get it to work that way. Then I realized that if the game was on the app, it must be on TV too and it made no sense to do what I was doing.
Headed home from the VA. Three polyps removed (same as last time). Ten days to get the labs back. This and the family history means I'm on a three year screening schedule.
It's gotta be in the cup fungus or false morel family.
Some are edible, some are very toxic (containing something found in Jet Fuel IIRC).
Did you pick it? If so, what did the base look like?
I didn't pick it. From my google search, I thought maybe a false morel as well.
From memory, there are no toxic cups but few worth eating.
And there are many toxic false morels and a lot of people still eat them and have no problems.
There are some false morels that look like cups.
I haven't found any morels yet, but my hunting grounds are either poor producers or get cleaned up by people that only know morels.
I've gotten great hits out of just about every other simple-to-ID mushroom species I could expect: Chicken and Hen of the woods, Lion's Mane, Enoki, Dryad's Saddle (got 2 lbs fresh in the fridge), Shaggy Mane, Resinous Polypore,* Abortive Entoloma*. Oyster Mushrooms only so-so, but good on the "Late Oysters".
*Apparently named by Erik the Red.
I've also found lots of Amanitas (possibly Grisettes, but I'm not going to risk death just to find out), Gymnopilus (apparently it's mildly psychotropic, but that means it'll be a bit trippy when you're puking your guts out for days), and one really nice Jack-o-lantern cluster (description sounds like the Gymnopilus minus the tripping).
A lot of those names of mushrooms sound like names of old English pubs.
I would certainly drink at The Shaggy Mane.
...less sure about Abortive Entoloma.
I really was only looking for morels, but I was finding plenty of other fungi that I couldn't ID. That one there was the strangest, though.
I only found four morels (down south of Sioux City IA, along the Missouri river). My morel-hunting friends tell me it's still a bit early, though.
I did see some Hen of the Woods in the same area I found the probably-false morels. I really need to get better at my ID'ing...
Hens this early? I thought they were autumn mushrooms.
Eh, after comparing what I saw more closely with other pics of Hens I can find online, yeah, I don't think it was the same thing.
Well, mushrooms don't always read the calendar (just like birds don't look at maps).
I've read that Pheasant Backs are spring mushrooms, but I found most of mine on one log last fall.

Lavendar Magazine has an article up about my rugby club. I'm gonna be on the cover of the magazine.
Blatant exploitation move to sell copies.

There is now an alternate version of their base plan that Includes fox's lineup Fox/FX and ... FOX SPORTS NORTH. The base plan is 19.99.
I already made the switch.

Welcome back, Andrew Albers!
I don't know if anyone else does much 3D CAD work, but Creo can kiss my ass. I miss Inventor.
I need help identifying a fungus I found while hunting morels yesterday-
That looks very...um...O'Keefeian
heh
Nice.
