She’s mentored by a Master.

@Steve: Subway? Blech! Nah, don’t know that show.

Ever see it? Any good?

Pulled pork, some green coloring…steamed spinach looks like a pile of mush anyway.

@Steve: @Grey: Alright, fine…you both convinced me that the joke is a strong as ever.

@Steve: Mmm…

@royce!: Reviewers say, “Pho King — Brilliant!”

A while back, I was delighted to find a pho place by our house called “Pho King.” I did an image search for it and also discovered “What the Pho,” “Pho Shizzle,” and “Pho Kim Long.” Seems like it might be the end of the road for this joke.

Might have to be Asian noodles though.

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 23:20:53 +0000 http://razzball.com/?p=21411#comment-932254 @Grey: Wow, I did not know that. Though now that I think about it, I might have known that 10+ years ago when I was living in Santa Fe and the local hippie mart got bought out by Whole Foods or something…I vaguely recall some controversy, but it probably was just based in New Mexicans’ loathing of Texans.

I was gonna add asbearagus. Be best if it was made with a bear’s hind quarters, because it could also be known as bearassagus.

Their Whole Foods is the size of three K-Marts, they have every product that any Whole Foods carries in the whole country. I like that smoked meat challenge! I call this Aspara(pork)guts…

Or will every challenge be limited to ingredients used at Sonic and Waffle House? Will they have to build a meal that appears to be vegetables, but is really made out of smoked meats? Mmm…broccoli ribe..

I actually will be playing poker tonight. Sometimes we’ll watch a game at the same time, but I don’t think I’ll be able to talk the guys into watching Top Chef. So I’ll have to lose all my money fast to get home. Usually isn’t very hard for me, though recently I’ve been on a killer luck streak. $20 buy in, .50 blinds, yet I came home with well over $100 the last two games.

At least Gordon had a good year, unlike Kemp(again, in the field). In addition, Gardner plays much more shallow(because of his great range and ability to go back on the ball, so anything at him or that he goes in on, the runner really has no chance to advance. Another word on OF assists, once it gets around that a player has a cannon-arm, less players run on him, thusly(most likely the first time I’ve ever used this word) reducing his assist chances.

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:18:22 +0000 http://razzball.com/?p=21411#comment-931707 @Wake Up: Hmm…I totally agree, but am seeing a pattern here. Gordon had by far the best arm in LF. Gordon had 20 OF assists to Gardner’s 7. Gardner has a lot better range. So Gordon probably made “exciting” catches where Gardner would have just caught the ball, and when Gordon could not get to the ball but had a chance to record an out some other way, he was more likely to do it. This doesn’t make him more valuable, but it does make him more entertaining.

And Kemp dated Rhianna, so that must tip the scales in his direction.

@royce!: On a side note, Neyer is in Siberia over there. Wonder if regrets the trade to the small market blog.

The anti-fan club known as “Tony Haters” meets the first Tuesday of every month.

August: Our speaker addressed the topic, “A Failed Season.” He said the baseball team was an embarrassment to the city. He laid the blame at the manager’s feet.

September: “Thinking About Next Year.” The speaker was outraged that Tony La Russa was continuing to play veterans even though the team had no chance of catching the Braves. It was clearly time to play youngsters and see what they could do. Why was La Russa being so stubborn?

October: Hardly anybody showed up. The speaker raised the question, “Are We Supposed to Be Happy with a Wild Card?”

November: There were only a couple of us. I was the speaker. My speech was titled, “It Shouldn’t Have Taken Seven Games to Beat the Rangers.”
