Just casted a second vote for HR. (Voted the first time from work, this second time, from home.)

Now, run you stupid groping second base speedster, run!

(Also, is the past tense "casted", or is it "cast"?)

Pizda mea! Mariotti is closing on HR. A percent & an half swing, & the douchenozzle advances to face the Swami. (All the Mariotti fans post late returns, no?)

Meanwhile, I'll be pining for the Leather-&-Bloomin'-Onions match-up that could have been, SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

Yes see in Toronto it never gets cold enough for them to hide in a hide.

While anywhere up north, and considering i'm in Thunder Bay it's a logical choice to hide in the hide to stay warm, sort of like survivor guy on OLN (why they aren't known as versus yet in Canada is beyond me)

Though I would always be worried of a bear coming to eat me, they can smell a dead hide a mile away.

A-fennel: close.

2nd- don't take the Lord's name in vain.
3rd- keep holy the day of the Lord.

The third is "graven images/false idols". Hence the reference to knick-knacks.

That falls under the purview of the First commandment.

Glad to know I soaked up something during 12 years of Catholic school.

Hey, Canadian bretheren...in Canada, wouldn't you have just slit Barbaro wide open and crawled inside to stay warm? Like Han did to the ton-ton for Luke?

JB* - I think that he's basically doing the same kind of thing that they employ Wendel Clark and Darryl Sittler to do, which is serve as a "team ambassador" - do appearances, charity stuff and so on. He just retired this past off-season - the Leafs acquired him at the trade deadline and he literally tore his ACL in his first shift back with the team. I think ultimately he wants to coach but I'm not sure what he's actually doing.

That last part of the sentence goes for the entire TML family, I'm afraid.

KC -

Last time I was in Canada (early September, I think, in Hamilton), the Leafs had announced Gilmour was preparing to take on an office job with the Leafs... some sort of talent scout or something.

Is he actually doing anything with them? On-ice activity/coaching the kids that they have up? Just curiosity that popped into my head when I saw the Gilmour reference.

- Heroes
- Studio 60
- Gilmore Girls
- Veronica Mars
- Law & Order: SVU
- The Office
- Scrubs (well, only two weeks of that)

Friday Night Lights got the boot for the CW, since the wife buys into those... though Kyle Chandler may win out in the end, I think, since I think she got hooked watching him while I was gone.

I've stayed (mostly) current on these courtesy of Deadspin, of all places... go figure!

And I cannot remember if it was you or Phony Gwynn who talked about starting a race of giants (I think Phony)... but I put a pic of our Christmas card in the MySpace stuff. I think my child is preparing to destroy a small town in it.

A slight correction, Metschick. She refers to Ladee Elizabeth as "Kitty Cat Ladee Elizabeth". I assume Remington will be named in future postings as "Kitty Cat Remington". Makes no difference to Barbaro, though. Horse, dog, cat - he speaks to them all. He speaks to them all and tells them to kill their owners.

Fellow Manhattanites: if you want a true taste of suburbia and tourist hell, skip The Olive Garden and go to the Red Lobster in Times Square. I went there a few years ago and the guy at the next table asked the waitress what was the difference between the house salad and the Caesar salad.

It was a good meal, though.

From WikiPedia:

Dynaformer is the Horse Dinobot. Dynaformer's strength is considered by some to be second only to Barbaro's in the Dinobot faction. Dynaformer also has the great power to shake the ground violently and make huge tremors when stomping around in his Horse mode, which is a good weapon for shaking up Decepticons. Dynamformer's biggest weakness is his belief that the strongest Autobot should lead and not necessarily the smartest. Another weakness of Dynaformer's is that he is a horse and cannot read. He joined the Autobots in the cartoon and comics in their first year, but didn't have a toy until 1985. The other members of the Dinobots are Slag, Snarl, Swoop and their leader, Barbaro.

The best I can do is this - my best friend's Sweet 16 was held at a Chuck E Cheese. Her aunt basically dared her that she wouldn't do it there, and my friend called her on it. The aunt paid, and we all got to play and stuff our faces with crappy pizza.
