      1. Have to know joe's style: abbreviations. Search for "GHD" and it's the only result. I did only "gh" at first and it was easy to spot in the results.

        1. I always figured it would deter, our at least obfuscate search results leading to the images. Guessed that was something we should try to avoid.

  1. 20 years ago today... Homer and Mr. Burns were trapped together in an avalanche. (h/t Chris Jaffe)

    1. for like the 8th time in a row I've gone to exactlyasold, when I punch in my birthday I get nothing.

    2. You are 38 years, 0 months, and 0 days old - that's exactly 13,880 days!
      That's exactly as old as Beck was the day his album Modern Guilt was released.

      1. I bought a bottle of Three Philosophers for my birthday, and it's still as great as the first time I had it.

        1. Nice. I've had...probably two of those.

          Last week I treated myself to a Deschutes Abyss for the second time (I mentioned the first one here, too). It was a great beer, like the first time...and, like the first time, I suffered gastro-intestinal issues after drinking it that I really hope were unrelated.

          1. I have had it several times without those consequences. I'm guessing you are just a delicate flower.

  2. So, we're all moved into the house, I have all my audio pieces set up, and I have influenza so severe that I'm having trouble with my equilibrium. Just in time to live in a place with 49 stairs.

  3. So the Twins (get it, Twins!) posted a harmless picture on the Book of Face congratulating Beyonce and Jay Z on their impending twins (get it, Twins!) and the comment section is exactly what you would expect given the Idiocracy in which we now live.

    1. So you're saying I should remain ignorant as to what that particular comment section is saying?

      1. Yes, unless you want to learn about cop-killers and hear people hoping that money from the Twins Community Fund wasn't involved.

    1. Oh.
      Boy.

      This move is very Terry Ryanesque (scrapheap, low K rate guy, sinkerballer). Maybe this guy is better than I hope he will be.

    2. His ability to keep the ball in the park isn't fluky. Over the last 7 seasons (460+ IP) he's allowed 0.6 HR/9 despite pitching the majority of that time in Colorado. 3.08 FIP in that time. His age (36) would be my concern, but he's only pitched 80 innings combined the last 2 seasons. Not sure if it was injuries or what.

      1. Missed all of May and half of June last year. Also had a 16 day break in September. Definitely injuries.

        1. The 6 week injury was a calf strain, so at least wasn't arm related. Had elbow inflammation that sidelined him in '15. Didn't see anything about September in a quick search.

    3. He shares a last name with my mom's side, so at the very least she'll be happy about that.

  4. If you didn't watch Superior Donuts tonight, you'd better be on its regular night on Monday. Don't make me kill you.

    1. Does the boy have something to do with this? Can I just tune my TV in and walk away without watching to drive up ratings?
