Chimps have it made. Every time I go to the zoo I envy them. Nap all the time. Eat when you want to. Make funny faces at humans. Play with other chimps. Throw your own feces. Good times. You don't see any chimps busting their balls for the man.

I dunno. I think Alan Greenspun has been busting balls for the man.

Good riddance, shithole.

Say goodbye to that wonderful home field advantage, Twins.

2. I h8tedtwindome. I remember we were in a playoff series with them not long after it opened, and they hit a fly ball that hits the wall, so our outfielder is ready to play the karom BUT it turns out the wall was soft, more a curtain, so the ball simple fell straight down. Our outfielder is like NWTF?

I'm so out of touch.

ETA: Why are the twin cities called the twin cities? Wikipedia did not provide a satisfactory answer. Kind of mealy.

And why are the Quad Cities called that when there are five of them?

Next thing you know someone will decide that West Richland is a city and there'll be four Tri-Cities.

The Twin Cities are Minneapolis and St. Paul. They may have started out farther apart but now they extend right up to the river border that separates them.

But this may not be the correct answer. See http://www.infoplease.com/askeds/twin-cities.html

With the number of wineries in the region that I tend to visit, it seems like I see Six Cities.............

I grew up Baptist so I should know the answer but don't. Most of the Baptist churches I know about in Minnesota have their own dunk tank (really called a baptistry). Presumably this is because you don't want to go chop a hole in the ice to baptize someone in the winter but I don't know if Baptist churches in warmer climates do outdoor baptisms. In my home town the non-Baptist evangelical churches do baptisms either in the summer in one of the many local lakes or in colder weather they borrow the dunk tank from the Baptist church.

While I am expounding on baptism, the Baptist church (at least the one I grew up in), just has "adult" baptism (the person being baptized has to be old enough to ask for it and make a statement of faith), not infant baptism. It is a symbolic act and doesn't have anything to do with salvation.

I go to a Presbyterian church now where they baptize infants/children and occasionally adults. Infant baptism there seems to be doctrinally pretty meaningless. It doesn't convey salvation nor is it a statement of faith.

ETA: As far as I can tell, Presbys sprinkle, not dunk.

Pussies! I was baptized into the Church of the Polar Bear in an iced over lake in Canada in January of 2002. Afterwards I drank ice wine. No pain no gain.

Glad to have won. Felt horrible for Punto. There isn't a player on MN (besides Cabrera--fuck that guy) who I dislike. Great manager, players and organization.

Going to a river to symbolically cleanse ones soul - That's the part that has you puzzled?

You are a better man than I.


He likes to start with the simple stuff. After that, he gets drunk.

Oh aye, wee Presbyterian babies bound straight for hell. Sure and it's an old, old story, that is.
