The TVM talks about lawn ornaments.

Just as Tolkien and the Inklings used to meet at The Bird and the Baby, come in here to converse about whatever might be on your mind. This is the place for all off-topic conversation.

Hey all,

Sorry for long absence. I was busy getting married.

Vacation... Where to?

May we never forget them. :rose:

Thanks all. Sorry for surprising.

The Philippines turned out to be a very dangerous country... for a single man. I was ensnared right on the first day and never had a chance! :D

I looked in on Weather dot com and all around me was dark green with bright yellow spots.
A thunder storm!

And the Kitsap peninsula?
Yeah, nuthun...
That is sooooo messed up.
I love a good thunder storm and we do need a good wetting down here

August 15th, 2012.
Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
Felix Hernandez throws a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

I watched it on tv. It was the first perfect game I ever saw.
My Mariners had some good teams and one great team (2001)
And mostly some not so good teams.
But we had the KING!

On August 15th 2012, he earned that crown for good.

His arm is not the same now, but no one can take that crown off his brow.

Calma, they were saying on the radio yesterday that Felix won't get to pitch in the playoffs and I wondered why. He didn't do badly yesterday, and he couldn't have been expecting to step in when he did.

That's assuming Mariners get to the playoffs, of course. :P

Due to his banned substance suspension, Cano won't be able to play in the playoffs.
Felix will be pitching in the playoffs no sweat..
Well, yeah, that's assuming we get our heads out of our backsides and beat your A's once-in-awhile.


eta:
Yeah, we took one from the A's today.
But they are still above us in the standings.
Mike Leake pitched a dream, but it went into extras so he didn't get the win.
Thanks to Dee Gordon and his second homer of the year
We got them in 12 2-0.
Now home to meet the Dodgers...
