September 6, 2020: Tinker, Twitter, Soldier, Spy

35 Comments

I have a small and humble following on the Tweeter. However, I was going through the list and I realized I have 5-6 accounts that have been following me for awhile but also have 0 tweets and few if any followers though they've been around for years. Should I be worried about that?

  1. Probably should be more worried that you are going through your followers. 🙃 So what if I have 5-6 burner accounts? Leave me be!

    2. touché.

      let's just say i was having the types of "conversations" that we don't have here with other, uh, passionate folks. was just taking an inventory of what information exactly is available on my profile in case anyone was taking anything personally.

      also, as someone that has roughly 15 email addresses, i respect your burner game.

      1. fair enough. Only a joak. I post pretty publically in most forums and have noticed a big uptick in spam followers already.

        2. I feel like spam followers have been pretty consistent for me. If I notice one and have a moment, I'll block them, but I probably only started doing that in the last year or so. The vast majority have photos of white dudes and tend to include words like sincere, patriot, or God.

  3. I'm fortunate to only get a few nightmares a year, the wake you up and can't fall back asleep kind. Last night was one of those nights. I was assaulted by a former Oakland Athletic who is now an attention whore. It sounds funny now, but man. My chest is still a bit tight. I blame the horrible pizza I had last night.

    1. Ha! It's a running gag here to blame pizza nightmares, to the point that I'll tell Mrs Runner there was pizza in the Kung Pao Chicken I'd had the night before. Although I don't get true nightmares anymore

    2. I had a doozy this week too and it's like three days later and I'm still thinking about it. Oi.

    3. i'm not a person that really has(/remembers) any dreams at all. awhile back though i had a proper nightmare and it was terrifying. it woke myself up because so.

    4. I have pretty wild dreams sometimes, but nothing that ever wakes me up that I can remember. I'll sometimes wake up in the middle of an awesome dream and then get really annoyed when I can't get back into it.

    5. I had a very vivid nightmare last night too. Following up with a friend just in case my subconscious was picking up on something...

    1. He's Mantle without the alcoholism (AFAIK).

      B-R most similar by age:
      Vada Pinson
      F. Robinson
      Mick
      Mick
      Mick
      F. Rob.
      F. Rob.
      Mick

      Mick had 320 through his age-28 season. He debuted at 19, but also only had 154-game seasons.

      Frank Robinson had 291 through age-28.
      Willie May's had 250,but missed almost two full seasons due to military service.
      Bonds had only 222, but that was mostly before BALCO.

  5. I still can't get over that Bux "walk"off from last night. Cisnero afterwards looking around like "I mean, what are you supposed to do with that?"

    1. I missed the game, but just went back and watched the highlight and that was pretty cool. He damn near tripped on his helmet, though.

  7. Today's entry for we're goin' gourmet ---> roasted red pepper whipped feta and house made pita chips bag of Stacy's. Left over whipped feta will be sandwich base next week. If there is any.

    3. got a pork shoulder in the slow cooker with an unknown but aromatic dry rub i found that i mixed some time ago. based on the consistency some brown sugar was involved.

    5. I am working at the joint today, so had a Walleye Sandwich with American Cheese on it cuz it brings me back to my middle school favorite lunch. Side of fries with our Fry Sauce. A bit more calories than my diet calls for but I skipped breakfast and probably won't eat dinner til after 9. Why is that?? My one stronger kitchen supervisor called today and wrecked his knee last night long boarding drunk. So, I was already going to have to jump back and help cook tonight due to a busy holiday night and weak staff. Now I get to anchor the line. Even though I only cook on line a few times a year, I can still throw down. However, I know I will burn some serious calories sweating in this hot kitchen tonight... so I am excusing myself on the Walleye Sandwich cheat. On a good note, my back feels better than it has in over 2 weeks. Hopefully I can still say that when I wake up in the morning.
