According to Matt Stairs, there is no better feeling than having your ass hammered by a bunch of guys.  You don’t believe a professional athlete would say that during an interview??

I’m not an art expert.  But how is a giant pink stuffed bunny considered art?  Wouldn’t every stuffed animal made be considered art?  So then the child labor workers in Asia would be considered artists?  I can’t be wrong on this issue, can I be??

During last nights debate, The Basher mentioned to me how John McCain’s upper teeth are rarely seen.  And it’s true.  It’s kind of scary how someone can be in the national spotlight so much and not show their upper set of teeth. See….all bottom row when he speaks.

While this is a great topic of discussion, I really only wrote about it because I wanted to post the picture below of McCain.  Some might say that he missed his calling and should be on America’s Next Top Model.  Just look at the desire and dedication in his eyes.  His intense look makes me think that dear Mr. Puddles went missing.  We can only pray that he did not.

CHINO, CA—In an unprecedented and historic event Monday, the “I Am Under 18″ button, an Internet security device which if selected restricts access to websites featuring adult content, was clicked for the first time ever. “I knew I could simply claim to be over 18 and continue onto my desired destination, but I also realized that I would have to live with that lie for the rest of my life,” said local resident Garrett Kinley, 17. “I admit, I was curious to see what type of material I would find on www.juggworld.com, but that button was clearly placed there for a reason, and let’s face it: 17 and three-quarters is not 18. I plan to return to the site three months from now, when I will be mature enough to handle its content.” Moments later, Kinley’s friend Dave Gerrard, 17, pushed Kinley aside and clicked the “I Am Over 18″ button himself, at which point a tactical police unit broke down his bedroom door and arrested hi

Man opts for ‘I was stupid’ sign outside plant

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. – A man who caused damage at a waste water treatment plant in Eau Claire has decided to pick public humiliation over jail time to pay for his crime.

Eau Claire County Judge Paul Lenz gave Shane McQuillan an option after he was found guilty of criminal damage to property for ramming his car into a closed gate at the plant.

McQuillan could spent time in jail, or spend a day outside the plant holding a sign that says “I was stupid.” McQuillan chose the sign sentence Wednesday.

Cops nab pair in same vehicle for drunken driving

FARGO, N.D. – Fargo police said two men were arrested for drunken driving in the same vehicle. Police Lt. Pat Claus said an officer pulled over a 23-year-old man early Thursday morning. Claus said while that man was taking a sobriety test, a 24-year-old passenger got behind the wheel and tried to drive off.

Claus said the passenger was also arrested for drunken driving. Both men were taken to the Cass County jail.

Claus called the case “unique.”

Brett Favre’s old house in Ashwaubenon has been put up for sale.  Doesn’t he know that the housing market is terrible and the economy is in the pooper?!?  Micoley and Company have the listing posted here.  $475,000 seems a bit steep in this market, but then again there’s probably someone out there who will buy it because it’s Brett Favre.  Maybe Lil Wayne can buy it!! There are some interesting pinks and greens inside, and by interesting I meant disgusting.

Edit: The picture of Brett Favre’s house was taking way too long to load, so I substituted this fine picture.  Even a well trained eye won’t know the difference.

Hopefully you didn’t play by the rules for the 1st Presidential Debate Drinking Game. You would have been very very very close to dead. Anyway, we need to move on and look forward. Thursday marks the Vice President debate at the beautiful Washington University in the Loo or Lu or Lou, whatever. The rules might seem a bit odd, but with Palin you never know what she could say.

  • Take a shot of choice if either candidate talks about the bracelet they got from a parent of a soldier
  • Take 2 drinks if someone mentions the “Bridge to Nowhere”
  • Take 5 drinks anytime someone says ‘pork’
  • Take a shot of vodka if someone says ‘hockey’
  • Finish half a bottle of Watermelon Pucker if Palin makes another stupid lipstick joke
  • Do 2 beer bongs if Green Bay is mentioned
  • Slam a Guinness and perform 1 Irish Jig if Palin freaks out, starts crying and runs off the stage
  • Finish half your drink every time you hear ‘Maverick’
  • Take a shot of Tequila if someone talks about Facebook
  • Perform a 10 second keg stand if Palin talks about Russia when asked about her foreign policy experience
  • 3 Drinks if Palin mentions her husband
  • I have no idea what Biden is going to say, so take 1 drink every time he gives the creepy old man smirk/smile.

That’s all I have for now, please add your thoughts or ideas.

This Twins team scored the 3rd most runs in franchise history (829). That was more than all the playoff teams in the 2000’s. Hard to believe, but true. I think a healthy Neshek will help and Mijares seems like a good arm. The Twins will not buy a bat, they never do. I expect them to trade either Cuddyer, Kubel or Young in the offseason. I’m leaning toward Kubel just for the simple fact that his value is the highest at this point since Cuddy was hurt all year. We have one too many outfielders…Span and Gomez are fixtures which leaves 2 spots (OF and DH) for 3 guys who should play every day. Maybe they will move Cuddyer back to 3rd?

I see them adding a middle of the pack SP to compete with Perkins for the last spot in the rotation, maybe a bullpen arm and a 3rd baseman via a trade of one of our outfielders. We will not sign an impact free agent.

What scares me is that we had a lot of good things go our way this year while Detroit and Cleveland had down years. Both of them will be back as well as an improved KC team. Can our starters do it again? We shall see…

Rant continued below

It seems like we don’t score a lot of runs because they come in spurts. Although home runs aren’t everything, it would be nice to have a better balance. The Twins are very good at manufacturing runs, but every now and then, it would be nice to have a couple of guys who could tie the game with one swing. Case in point was last night; once Thome hit that bomb, I knew the game was over because the Twins don’t have that guy or two (Morneau should be, but he was in a slump) who can jack one when needed. It’s tough to get multiple base hits against a tough reliever; we were able to do it last week with Gomez and Span, but the Twins are too reliant on the single. We all know that….

The White Sox, on the other hand, will not advance far in the playoffs. They are too reliant on the home run and are susceptible to scoring droughts; they are the anti-Twins. They can’t manufacture runs because their hitters are slow.

If Young can hit 10 more shots next year and Cuddy stays healthy while hitting 25, I like our offense a lot. Morneau needs to hit 30, not 23.
