+k to all on the last 2 pages because it's TGIFriday and,...just because I can.

That sounds like a good idea - take that Smiting Schmucks
Oops - got to wait on BDB - 24hrs not up

I wish the board masters would base the karma restriction on once per day instead of 24hrs apart.  Reset it at midnight instead of after 24 hrs elapse.

Midnight where? 

Pat Coleman's house.

I can't wait to see Saturday Night Live!

[OzJohnnie]

And in Twins news, Bonser had a good outing in a three pitcher victory for the Twinks.  I can't wait for the season to start and I can get my press pass.  I love listening to the radio call of the game.

One of the best summers of my life was 1984.  I was a weekend DJ for a local radio station, 1320 KOZY ("When you hear your favorite songs from the 50's, 60's and 70's you know you're listening to the best of Grand Rapids, 1320 KOZY" and "1320 KOZY, home of the Twins, Vikings, North Stars, Gopher Hockey and Grand Rapids High School Indians Hockey and Football" - plenty of sports going on).  I couldn't believe I was being paid to listen to ball games every weekend, and if I was lucky I would get two games in.

'84 was a particularly great year as the Twins finished at/above .500 for the first time in 12 years.  It was most notable, however, as the year Kirby came up.  But Bruno, Herbie, and Sweet Music all had standout seasons as well.  I remember once when Herb Carneal went through the twins roster during an extended rain delay (I was playing music waiting for the delay to finish - he was killing time).  I ran to the tape machine to record the roster announcement but didn't get it.  There are two I still remember because I was laughing so hard: Tim "don't hit it to me" Teufel (prophetic of '86, no?) and Tom "strikes out more than a lonely bachelor" Brunansky.

Well done MIACPP!

How about adding the 2 year pit stop?

1984 was the year of Jamie Quirk, ruining the Twins season in front of about 300 people in Cleveland with the first (and only?) homer of his career.

1984 was the year of Jamie Quirk, ruining the Twins season in front of about 300 people in Cleveland with the first (and only?) homer of his career.

Well, ruining is a bit strong.  I just had to look it up to make sure, but Quirk sealed a stolen game with his only at bat for Cleveland.  He hit a bottom of the ninth dinger to continue what ended up being a 6 game losing streak to finish the Twins' season.  Of course, the Twins finished '84 at .500, needing to win only one of those last 6 to finish in the black.

Interesting for Quirk: Cleveland picked him up on Sept 24, he hit a game winning homer in his only at bat, and was released on Oct 15 after seeing no more action.  Thank your mother for the rabbits, as they say in Oz.

Edit: Only at bat for Cleveland, that is.  Quirk had about a 17 year career with about 6 teams.

Price paid for a gallon of gas this morning - $3.24
Price paid for my frozen Lean Cuisine at lunch - $2.00 (5/$10 at Rainbow last Saturday)
Price paid for a large Caribou coffee to drink with lunch - $1.92
Logging in just to smite Ole Fan - priceless.

Glad I could help you out with your lofty aspirations this glorious day.

Just for displaying such a postive attitude towards getting smited I'm going to reverse it into a +k.

As a level 4 is mercifully coming to an end, Janesville O'flash is resting up for a big St. P weekend.

Well done MIACPP!

I haven't been able to figure out what makes this babe worth $4,500/hr.  Now if it was Lisa, it would be obvious.

... it's her tiny body and her schoolgirl uniform.  An hour with Elliot would take care of 1 year of parochial.

Breaking News....

[janesvilleflash]

Mrs. Flash said I could only have 6 or 7 beers this afternoon.

[stanbob]

You have the right idea then Flash.  Happy St Patrick's day to all!!!! Today and Monday, Fairbanks is double dipping.

[snoop dawg]

Ahhhhhh St. Paddys day.....an excuse for all us non Irish to have an excuse to drink all day and do it with purpose.l

And a little Irish humor for ye.......

An Irishman walks into a bar and orders three glasses of Guiness, drinking them one at a time. Noticing this odd ritual, the bartender explains that the beer goes flat when poured and informs the man his beer would be much fresher if he ordered one glass at a time.

The Irishman explains he began this custom with his two brothers, who have moved to America and Australia, respectively. This is their way of remembering all the time they spent drinking together.

The man becomes a regular at the pub, well-known for always ordering three beers at once. One day he walks in and orders only two beers. Assuming the worst, a hush falls among other patrons.

When the Irishman returns to the bar to order his second round, the bartender quietly offers his condolences. The man looks confused for a moment, and then explains, "No, everyone's fine. I gave up beer for lent."

St Paddy's Day?  No true Minnesotan celebrates St. Paddy's Day.  The true Minnesotan knows that the real celebration is the day before on St. Urho's Day.  It is a celebration of the day that St. Urho chased all the grasshoppers out of Finland.  Where's the Scandinavian pride (even if it is for Fins)?

This year my folks headed over to Squaw Lake to enjoy the festivities at the world's shortest parade, 300 feet, in celebration of good ol' St Urho.

(Let the record state that I do not know any of the people in these photographs.  I merely found snaps of last year's celebration and thought I would share.)

OJ,

Did you find someone to show you the Bloody Mary recipe?  Now, that would be cool.
