We're in the midst of them, but not a lot of news so far. What's been your favorite rumor so far? Or your least?

December 9, 2017: Cartoon Elephants
I was explaining the "Topsy" episode of Bob's Burgers to someone (which I first kept referring to as "Stampy"; wrong series), and that song has been in my head ever since.
December 8, 2017: Party Time
I'm crazy busy at work trying to close a deal (ABC!) while also getting our work holiday party together tomorrow.
What festivities does your place of employment provide, if anything?
Mitski – How Deep Is Your Love?
For those of you inside both the "Mitski" circle and the "Hannibal Buress" circle, she on his podcast is the gooey center of that particular Venn diagram.
I don't think I've ever heard the original of this song though it appears to have 1.2 billion views.
December, 7 2017: Swing And A Miss
The Twins miss out on the Ohtani sweepstakes. They had the "small market" box checked off, though there was a bit more distance between them and Japan compared to the West Coast teams.
Though we'll likely never know, I wonder to what degree their past handling of Nishioka (as well as Park) played into the situation. They probably never were actually in the running, but I could see those past case studies causing a quick axe against an option that wasn't appealing to begin with.
December 6, 2017: Updated Expectations
I know I've previously spoken about the 2017-2018 season for both the Wild and Wolves in glowing terms. I'd like to amend that enthusiasm...
Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile – Over Everything
Not sure how we haven't played anything from this yet.
December 5 (for real this time), 2017: Nicollet Mall
I mentioned it before, but it sounds like there's going to be an awesome series of free concerts over the course of 10 days on Nicollet Mall before the Super Bowl.
That's a pretty sweet lineup. However, as the NFL keeps insisting the Super Bowl should be a multiweek event, in what ways is the upcoming Super Bowl likely to affect your daily life?
December 5 4, 2017: Are Those Real?
Okay, sorry to keep the holiday theme going, (apologies to those that don't care for various/obvious reasons) but: real tree or fake? We started using a real one last year, and might as well do it again.
Paul McCartney – Birthday
To my esteemed colleague, who seems to be sleeping in today. 😉
