Re: Off Topic 2012

^^ What are you going to do with your PC when you buy a new one? Let's say you don't want to keep it, what are the options here? Would you just throw it away? I'm never sure what to do with it.

If you order through Dell, you can send your old PC back to them to be recycled free of charge. You just have to pack it (I used the box my new PC came in), print out the shipping label, and either drop it off at a FedEx store or call for a pickup.

Got bored and decided to make a new twitter. Pretty much a noob question, but how the heck do you get real followers on this thing?

Welp, I might as well just go ahead and delete it then.

Just start following people from here, let them know who you are, then they might follow you back.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I started up a new franchise yesterday with the Tigers on the Show 11. The plan was to do a lot of simming and drafting. So I've simmed up to 2015 and have the worst team in baseball lol. My plan was to keep Verlander/Cabrera/Fielder and have a bunch of kids around them, whether they were real Tigers prospects or guys I've drafted. Verlander ended up refusing my offer and signed elsewhere, I actually goofed up my first offseason and let a bunch of guys leave as FAs because I was kinda confused about what I was doing.

So anyway I'm now playing my first series of 2015 against the Indians. My first two starters (Jacob Turner, Drew Smyly) each pitched well and we split the games. The rubber match now comes down to my 19 year old rookie starter Adolfo Hernandez vs Gavin Floyd. Hernandez pitched like a boss allowing 0 runs through 6 innings before tiring out and giving way to the pen. Was a great start to his career and I was pretty excited about it.

In the 9th with a 2-1 lead my reliever Matt Hoffman (I left him in for lefty-lefty purposes instead of bringing in wild closer Bruce Rondon) gave up a 2-out run scoring double to Shin-Soo Choo. Cue extra innings. Bottom of the 10th, my speediest runner Quentin Berry on 2nd, Fielder up with 2 outs, blisters a single to right but it got to the RF so fast I couldn't risk sending Berry. Big Mig comes up in a huge pressure spot and immediately falls down 0-2, I catch a break on a borderline call on the third pitch that could've been an inning ender. The pitcher (Tony Sipp) tries to sneak a slider by and Cabrera smashes it over the LF's head for a game winning hit off the wall! It was a jump up, yell, and fist pump moment for me!

Spoiler

the game then immediately froze.

Yeah as Dayman says follow guys around here. There's a twitter thread floating around in the neighborhood that has a bunch of guys and twitter names. What is your new twitter name?

Re: Off Topic 2012

So my friend is throwing a sheeshy (sp?) formal birthday party. We have to come in suits and stuff and the ladies have to come in dresses.

We're turning 25 this year, not 50.

Anyway, he did come up with a cool idea that I need some help with. All 6 of us close friends have to come up with our own signature "drinks" for the bartender to make that night and we have to come up with a name for it. Only catch is that they have to be whiskey-based, and I don't drink whiskey. I think it's either going to be Jameson or Black Label.

Any suggestions on mixes/names? I was thinking Whiskey and Dr. Pepper and calling it Dr. Harry or something, lol.

Was also thinking of taking whiskey and four other ingredients and calling it the "Rat Pack", since it's going to be a formal night, or whiskey and two other ingredients and calling it the "Triforce".

I thought about posting it in the twitter thread but that thread seems to have been dead for quite some time.

Well, if you posted it in there then it wouldn't be dead anymore.

Our ice machine is messed up, at the lake, so I stopped to buy some ice on my way up yesterday. Two bags of ice costs $5... what has this world come to ? We've got to get a new compressor for the ice machine.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Be lucky it is 2 for $5. I have seen some places where it is one bag for $4

Re: Off Topic 2012

I made the mistake of reading an article in Motor Trend about sub-30k sports cars. Top two was the Subaru BRZ Limited and its sister the Scion FR-S. I also like the new Mustangs, but feel weird about wanting a V6 Mustang. Damnit.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Former Texas WR Marquise Goodwin actually made the Olympic team, so that choice actually paid off.

Plus, we're finally going to get Bolt vs Gatlin come July/August.

What size bags were you getting? When my kitchen had the little power outage I was getting 2 bags for $3, they were 7 lb bags I think.
