I just finished the new episode of Giants talk with @colemk.bsky.social & @alexpavlovic.bsky.social That final 30 minutes with Mike was just wonderful & not long enough. Go listen if you haven’t. We’ve been so lucky to have him in the booth these years. So lucky. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

I can say with confidence that the person (or the parents who got the plates for the teen driving) spoke a truism as they did indeed what signal cut in front of me at an intersection I was driving through and had the right of way. 10/10 no notes.

Missed todays Giants game but I feel that after that meltdown busting out @lolknbr.bsky.social ‘s classic barf dumpster is in order.

A question for @susanslusser.bsky.social @andrewbaggarly.bsky.social and @alexpavlovic.bsky.social re: Mike Krukow’s announced retirement. It’s well known Kruk has THE ‘book’ on all the umps and their proclivities. Will he pass it/a copy on to Flem or the others in either the radio or tv booth?

It’s mid July and now it’s not raining in California but it’s muggy as all get out.

I love the county fair.

When I was little there was a commercial for Thomas' English Muffins on TV that said something to the effect "they're such a bargain". Little me took that their name was 'bargain'. That became their name in the house and what my parents and I have called them since.

Hey @colemk.bsky.social and @alexpavlovic.bsky.social Got a Giants Talk Q for you that feels relevant with our first 'big' call-ups of the year. For equipment & uniforms, who pays for what? Are the players on the hook for shoes, gloves, bats while the team handles uniforms/helmets/wearables?

I love discoveries like this and I think @mystupidrecords.bsky.social might as well.

Oh so glad baseball is back.

Principal skinner am I old, no it’s the kids meme that states in the top half, ‘Didi Webb and Skenes have a bad first outing?’ And the lower half states ‘No, it’s the WNC’s fault’

And the fan rage after game 3 of the season about how the whole season is already over because they're 1-2 is unparalleled.

Seen? Ashamed? Not Sure what I should be feeling here but it’s definitely one of those two.

I was one of the angst ridden teens in the “Last Resort” video, and you will address me with the respect I deserve.

Thehardtikesnews: That’s right. How dare you deign to look me in the eyes and speak so boldly. Can you be seen in plain view next to Sacramento’s greatest nu-metal band as they gifted the viewer with heavily censored lyrics over a recycled Iron Maiden guitar lead?

Hey @colemk.bsky.social and @alexpavlovic.bsky.social get me a file to print and I got you. Happy to make a stopgap / fill in for you to hand out if you wanted to carry any around. My fancy paper is a good paper for a handout flyer and I can pick up some good thick cardstock too.

Dealing with getting a new cell phone is just as bad as buying a new car and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Ah, new years… when you can’t tell if the neighbors suddenly shrieking and screaming coupled with bangs and booms are from fireworks and then celebrating or something bad is happening at their house.

So I’m catching up on @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social and just finished listening to the Apple episode while grocery shopping and my local grocery store doesn’t even carry the episodes subject matter anymore and I didn’t even notice it. That’s kinda funny @agoldman.bsky.social

The mac & cheese recipe I've made for years is economical, filling and when made in the 2x config you'll be able to eat for a good while. Just need 1lb block cheese, 1 box pasta, some milk, flour and butter and about an hour. macandsteve.blogspot.com/2012/06/in-l...

Ya don’t see many Smart fortwo’s in the wild any more and I can say with certainty I’ve never seen one that’s been kitted out as the ultimate off road vehicle before today. I feel like @papapishu.bsky.social would have enjoyed seeing this as much as I did.

A white Smart fortwo with cure off road knobby tires, a roof rack and a metal front bumper that was all business with off road lights. If only it had a winch too…

Ah, the ever present mild anxiety gnawing itself through me as I sit waiting for coworkers to show up for the volunteer event that starts in 15 minutes when no one is here besides me (Tries to not think too hard about how 5 people backed out yesterday and other attendees just didn’t bother to do so)

The great Limp Bizkit once sang. “We’re gonna do things my way, it’s my way or the highway” And now I’m left questioning who’s way, the menu designers way who don’t countless hours building flavor profiles for us or my way. And is it really my way. Or is it Fred Durst’s way?
