  1. Reading some reports Keith Law hates the Tigers, eh? He can suck my ****.
  2. Tigers looking good Dos cervesas por favor Come on spring training
  3. That's so awesome, I bet she killed her husband first.
  4. I went to the inconvenience store yesterday, there was one other customer, redeeming a big pile of tickets. I waited a minute, and then walked out. Lottery tickets are a big peeve.
  5. I understand. I just don't want those cashiers to lose their jobs.
  6. I just buy the index. Over time it is a low second quartile performer compared to other equity mutual funds, with minimal fees. Watch out for your bonds. If interst rates go up, which seems likely, your bond fund goes down. A lot of "financial advisors" don't seem to know that. They just remember that risk hierarchy in their textbook, bonds are "less risky".
  7. Ha ha sure, this theoretical bagger who does not exist in my world and therefore not in my peeve can go ahead and bag I guess in some alternate universe, I'm not going to try to make him/her lose their job. That's why I refuse to use self-checkout.
  8. They didn't have Andres Torres and Cody Ross
  9. Please check with me before you invite anyone, in case they are people that I don't like.
  10. That's a good system that doesn't work so well if you bring your own bags from home, which we do. So all the cashier has to do is ring up the sale and push it on down, and I bag it, because my arms aren't broken.
  11. Bagger lol. I don't think I've seen one for about 30 years. No, it's just the cashier, who rings up the groceries and then bags them while the entitled ignoramus stands there and watches, and holds up the line.
  12. Checking the lines at a grocery store is something that I always do, and get it wrong usually, but here is a rule: the better dressed a female is, the less likely she is to bag her own groceries. She will just stand there and watch "the help" do it. While I scream, silently, behind my mask, "IS YOUR FREAKING ARM BROKEN?"
  13. Yes, if you take Torque out of the team photos it gives the team deniability. There never was any such guy, and no they did not waste a pick on him. Those who persist in their inquiries will be detained.
  14. He is being photoshopped out of all the team photos that he ever appeared in.
  15. Remember when Michael said this to his idiot brother-in-law, Carlo, to let him know that Michael was aware that Carlo had deliberately helped to set up Sonny at the causeway toll booth: "You have to answer for Santino, Carlo". Answer for. Nothing specific there, but you fear the worst. No matter what other trouble this James Adducci ever gets into for the rest of his life, it pales into insignificance compared to this: he has to answer for attempting to impersonate Jim Adduci.
  16. I am glad that I don't work in a downtown office building anymore. When I did, I would park underground, where there was a mix of permit holders and people who paid cash by the hour. At the end of the day when I was leaving, I might be behind a lady who was paying cash. She might hand her ticket and some cash to the attendant in the kiosk (remember those?) and then a moment later some change would be handed back. And then for the next 25 seconds she would ORGANIZE HER FREAKING PURSE before driving off. That's where an Aston Martin with twin machine guns would have come in handy.
  17. Yeah, that's where those "Negro spirituals" came from in elementary school music period.
  18. Not me although we did have a Vic Tanny's in St. Catharines Ontario, right next door to Thorold.
  19. I have 100% faith that Rogers could have sustained his 2021 performance if the injury had not occurred. Maybe not the .800 OPS but I would bet on 24 HRs and 24 doubles in 135 games which is pretty nice for a number 9 hitter. However, next time he plays he will be 28 so it's possible we have missed his prime years with the bat.
  20. Perhaps, but you have also noticed that some of the most uncompromising non-smokers are the guys who used to smoke 2 packs a day.
  21. I know that it is PC to say "I of course respect the right of each individual to decide for themselves about their own health care, and whether or not to receive a vaccine". Well, I don't, not for a minute. They are idiots who are endangering the general population. I have read more than one opinion piece debating whether or not the unvaccinated should have to pay for their own hospitalization (it's free here).
  22. And three-quarters of our daily new cases are meatheads who refused to get vaccinated and are now taking up ICU beds which are then unavailable for people whose illness or injury is not self-inflicted.
