1. I hope you're more specific as to which team your challenge name refers to

   1. Well, sometimes the magic backfires. I did one challenge where the players were to name five players who would play, but be futile at the plate, that day. It was the day that seven different guys hit grand slams, and two of them were among those chosen by the Survivor players.

2. Question: What software would you use to rip a DVD and then save to shorter clips? It is NOT a copy-protected DVD. Just home movies.

   1. Dazzle

   2. I've used Handbrake with great success to rip my DVDs to an external HD.

3. I may have missed the discussion when I was out camping (which might generate a post) but congrats to Mags for winning the 2016-17 EPL contest. Pretty much cleaned up.

   1. Philo's already been a little salty about it

      1. Ah, yes I was out of wi-fi that day.

         1. How was Utah?

            1. Great, I will probably do a post. in the next day or so.

               1. Cool. Looking forward to it.

4. I love everything about this story

   1. I happen to be a close personal friend to the business manager for Jones Shapiro Axis, which could be the house band for that club.

5. Higher OB%, Joe or Gimenez? Huh, yeah, me neither.

6. Escobar and Castro suddenly have triple-digit OPS+. Put Escobar at short and Grossman in the outfield for one of Buxton or Rosario, and Vargas at DH, the Twins could have a lineup where 8 of 9 players have 100 OPS+ or better. If Rosario is in for Buxton, every player would be 97 or better.

7. One of the sad aspects of watching the Twin Peaks revival is seeing the handful of great actors who passed away in the short time since the filming. Catherine "The Log Lady" Coulson, Miguel Ferrer, Marvin Rosand, Warren Frost, and just missing the cut was David Bowie who had to bow out of a cameo reprising his FBI agent role. In the most recent episode Ferrer had a hilarious scene where he exits a car in the pouring rain (NSFW)
   

8. Sri Lanka makes it illegal to take selfies on railroad tracks or close by moving trains. If that's what it takes, good.

   1. Context?

      1. context. context.

         1. I see, they just did it. I wasn't sure if you meant that they make it illegal in general, or if they just made a new law. Personally, I would outlaw selfies altogether, but I don't think I'm going to win that battle.

            1. Whoa, get off your lawn!

               I have hardly ever done selfies, so I have no mad sklz, but I think there is a time and place. And the time is a lot less often than currently.

9. A meditation on Wisconsin's soul.

   1. Now I want a brat. (pre-boiled in swill, spicy brown mustard and kraut.)

10. I made the mistake of listening to Reusse with Kaat on the way home. It doesn't get much more Get Off My Lawn than that!
