You guys think it will be possible in the near future to develop a nuclear bomb that can blow up in the exact shape of Toledo's geo-spatial boundaries??

I'm sorry Ohio won that war with Michigan.  Let's give Toledo back!

No

I'm watching the Reds/Diamondbacks game ...

 

Why in the hell is there a swimming pool in the outfield?!?!? wtf ... if you bring your son/daughter to a baseball game, you should be spending time with him teaching him why the players do specific things. Pathetic.

I propose the creation of a Maumee Valley Autonomous Region, including the watersheds of the Maumee, St. Marys, St. Joseph, and Auglaize Rivers and their tributaries. The region will take in a considerable portion of Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana, and after we restore the canal system for energy-efficient transport of bulk commodities, we'll become an industrial powerhouse with control of a major shipping gateway.

 

...  Handcuff, gag and blindfold, yes, but spank no.

 

What's the point in all that if you're not going to spank?

I was thinking I should buy a ticket to a Tin Caps game just so I could play in our new ballpark's splash pad.

Ha ... seriously though ... can you imagine something like this back in the day?

Ballparks today are full of so many distractions.  Food Courts, bars, carousels, ferris wheels, music every 5 seconds, water features, oversized scoreboards.  I actually call this the Navy Pier Syndrome. 

Haha, here's the pool pricing: http://arizona.diamondbacks.mlb.com/ari/ticketing/suites.jsp

 

Make sure to click "read more" where you'll find the pool's catering menu.

The catering menu is actually pretty weak to be honest.  I've been to a few corporate owned suites at minor and major league games and it's like a freaking banquet.  The amount of food and options is almost to the point of absurdity.  Plus there's the open bar, with tons of drink options.  Maybe they don't want to offer as much to be sure people's stomachs won't cramp up in the pool lol.

 

Here's a Midland vs Dayton game I went to.  They brought out Dessert.

 

And this is actually kind of cool [non cheesy] addition to a ballpark.  I'd also like the to mention this particular ballpark is solar powered

 

Is that woman praying?

Is that woman praying?

 

Yes, she is praying to Hephaestus.

OMG!!!  I'm at my Starbucks, and we just found a VooDoo doll hidden in a corner.  I can't take it anymore.  The number of clinically insane people outweigh the sane 3:1 in this neighborhood.  Not kidding. 

I wanna live in your neighborhood.

 

 

Hey maybe the person put a hex on you because you gave them rude customer service. Is there a pin stuck in the doll? lol

My neighborhood is by far the most fascinating neighborhood in Milwaukee, and a blast to visit, but it sure is exciting/difficult to live in. 

 

The doll didn't look like anyone in particular and I didn't touch it (mainly because I wasn't working) but it wasn't some cabbage patch cheapo thing.  It was definitely hand made.  I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Curtis, a regular with severe mental problems who lately has developed his own religion which only seems to make sense to the other crazy people who frequent our store. 

 

The other day he was telling me how God made an imaginary girlfriend for himself when he was Jesus, and that God told him the special recipe for making imaginary girlfriends.  Now he (Curtis) has an imaginary girlfriend, but she's gone right now because of the grass (no clue what that means) and that she'd be back when the book is good (again, no clue)  He also told me that if I was worthy of stones, he'd teach me how to have an imaginary girlfriend too.

 

Some days I wish he'd harm someone violently, so that I'd have a reason to kick him out permanently.  Hell, I'll take the punch.

 

 

 

Crazy, or Crazy Prophetic?  It sounds like you've got a chance to be let in on the ground floor of this new religion.  You know what that means, right?  Apostle status could be yours.  If he finds you to be worthy of stones, and gives you the recipe, do share.  That is, if we're worthy of stones.

...  He also told me that if I was worthy of stones, he'd teach me how to have an imaginary girlfriend too ...

 

If you can find out how to make an imaginary boyfriend, let me know. Assuming that's better than a fantasy boyfriend, that is.

Ok you youngsters and hipsters, I've got one for you.  I can't find a reference to this anywhere and haven't heard this before.  Sounds like it's some kind of jargon or hip lingo that I just don't know about.

 

scenario:  company sends client a gift of a box of chocolates.  They are plain, solid milk and dark chocolates.  client contacts the person they know at company and says "thanks for the grasshoppers."  Person forwards to sales person whose idea it was to send the chocolates and says "great job." 

 

WTF does "grasshoppers" mean?  And no, they weren't mint chocolates.

With video goodness. This is just awesome!!

I have no clue.  I just went through all 15 definitions on Urban Dictionary and none of them seem to work...unless they were pot filled...or your coworker is a homosexual (see definition 11)

Chocolate covered grasshoppers are a delicacy in Cambodia. Maybe she was being sarcastic.

I thought about places where they actually eat grasshoppers but just thought it was a stretch.  If the chocolates had little pictures of bugs on them or something, I could see it.  thanks everyone for at least thinking about it, I have no idea what they meant.

She doesn't even sound good in that video. Average/below average at best.

There's a lady catfight going on the balcony 15 feet from my bedroom window.

 

I had a little scare yesterday.

 

Folks PLEASE take a moment to review:

• Your home owners / renter insurance documents
  
• Emergency kits
  
• Make sure emergency contact information is accurate and up-to-date
  

What happened, MTS? 

 

 

What happened, MTS? 

 

 

Last night, there was a small fire next door.

Oy.

Oy.

 

I know.  I didn't know what was going on when I turned the block just saw the lights.  As I walked closer, I thought, "my that's close to my....OH F*CK it's my house!!". 

 

My neighbors didn't even know their house was on fire.  It was a small electrical fire but because it was on their roof and deck, it could have easily spread to the other homes. 

 

My imagination got the best of me.  All I could think is the entire block will burn down, since all the houses are connected. 

 

 

And it very well could have, you just never know. 

 

 

That is scary, and I'm glad everything turned out OK.  When I lived in Seattle, something similar happened- the apartment building across the street from me burned up in the middle of the night.  Pretty big fire, too.  I was worried that some of the flaming shrapnel shooting from the building could make it across the street onto my building, but we got lucky.  It was surreal to watch the fire shooting out from the windows and roof.  Even more so to see people, silhouettes outlined against the flames within, running in and out to save their possessions.  Some people are insane!

I know this sounds morbid, but honestly, that crossed my mind.  I was thinking, "Oh Lawd, my clothes - all my clothes.  All my babies (shoes) are going to parish", "I just (touch up) painted the hallway and now this! damnit!" and "TV, how am I going to watch the game?"  I know it sounds superficial, but you do think about that stuff after knowing all people and pets are safe.

Wow, that's terrifying.  Thank you for the reminder/reality check on the rental insurance.  I just reviewed mine.  Was this at the Shaker place, or in NYC?

NYC.

 

Kids make sure to keep a second copy some place safe, outside of your residence, in the event of an emergency/disaster.  You may not be able to access the hard copy (if it's in a house that is on fire) or electroically (if the power is out in the region).

 

I sincerly hope all you kids have renters insurance.  Your landlords insurance is not enough.  That $300 a year is worth it.

Yeah I have that, however, if the house is on fire, you can't immediately get to it.  lol  ;)

If my apartment building was on fire, you damn well better bet I'll be grabbing my 52" LCD and backup computer hard drives.

Anyone want totalk about Jon and Kate +8....everyone else is.

No, that woman and the twins are annoying as hell!

 

Jon, I just pray for him.    I don't know how he puts up with her shit!

She is annoying as hell, but men (like me) really do ask for it alot of the times.

 

For instance, last Friday, my wife went out to do grocery shopping for an hour when I got home from work.  So, while she was gone, I figured I would get dinner ready (I made Jumbalaya sp).  By the time she got home, I had spilled some diced tomatoes on the ground, had the radio up kind of high, our 2 year old was sitting on the counter within inches of the stove watching me cook, my 7 month old was screaming in his high chair because I did not know what he wanted and I was done trying.  Finally, my 4 year old was being kept busy by cleaning the sliding glass door with what I thought was windex, but it was some strange goopy blue solution that sprays out of a bottle that removes glue.  It was ruined. I just had a new slider installed yesterday for $900.  My wife actually stood there without me knowing for a second and just laughed about it.  As a man, I said, listen babe, this is how the memories are made!

 

Oh yes, and of course, she had to call my Mom to let her know that I am a moron.  The only time she initiates a call to my parents is when I "f" up. 

Lawd!  Why can I totally picture my brother in that exact situation?!  LOL

 

 

It reminds me of my nephew coming to wake me up everytime he made a "boom boom".  LOL

^^Or in a fire safe.

 

I really wonder how well those fire safes actually protect documents.  There were a lot of instructions with mine where it had to be set over floor joists.  It also only has a 1 hour fire rating on it.  FYI, many residential buildings have walls and doors with a 1 hour fire rating, yet after the FD leaves, you have a burned out hulk......so basically your contents will be heat damaged regardless. 

 

I should have never bought this safe, which I rarely even lock.  It's better to have duplicate copies of things in a safe deposit box instead....that includes external hard drives.

My parents have one and it's pretty safe.  They have a safe deposit box, but my parents use the house safe.  We accidentally found it when I was 18, LOL.  It was cemented in.  I feel confident it would be the only left if the house burned down to the ground.  Now, if I only knew the combination!

It's astounding how many people don't have renters insurance.  Most people that I know who have lived in apartments don't know anything about it or assume it's something they can't afford when it's actually very affordable.

Bingo!  They don't realize the upfront $300, is more valuable in "security" than having to replace all your belongs and basic necessities.

 

I know a lot of people think, just because they're landlord has insurance, they would be covered.

Plus my insurance company lets you spread it out over 12 monthly payments with zero interest or penalty for doing so, so it's like $20 a month.  I'm sure others do as well.
