Pitchers & catchers, man. Pitchers & catchers.

I'm sure I don't know what you're getting at. Baseball season hasn't even started yet, has it?

edit: rave: Fallout 4 has given me the first genuine shudders/shivers out of a game in a long, long time. Thanks to that Deathclaw right outside of Concord that I killed with a bloody pipe pistol. Super scary. It moves so fast!

Iowa? Is that the state after which you people name your potatoes?

Pitchers and catchers reported for Spring Training today. It's the start of the "baseball season", but for a casual fan it's really a groundhog day sort of thing: month and a bit till opening day!

I was expecting a euphemism for a dirty sex act.

 

[Takhisis]

Why a dirty one?

 

[gay_Aleks]

Who's got a new keyboard, huh? Huuuh? Also, it seems its more silent than my predecessor, which was pretty damn loud and kept everyone awake.

60 degrees outside this morning, and a couple of intrepid women on the subway decided to wear skirts to work.

I waited until it was fighting some Raiders and then used explosives. Still, it nearly got to arm's reach before it dropped.

 

[Arakhor]

What's that - 15 C? That's hardly freezing cold.

 

[Snerk]

I wear a skirt when it's -15C all the time.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Hmm, it's more worrying you're wearing a skirt in first place...unless I have failed my Spot check and you're female?

 

[Snerk]

Haven't you heard about the norwegian kilt? I'm shocked.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Here I thought it's limited only to Scotland...

 

[Snerk]

No no the vikings introduced the idea of man-skirts to the Scots. True story.

 

[gay_Aleks]

See, beyond raping, pillaging and burning, the Viking also introduced bad fashion.

 

[Snerk]

I like to think of the Vikings as the original hipsters. They were so hipster they were hipsters before hipsters existed.

Spoiler :

 

[Borachio]

Hahahahaha! Yeah. Kilts.

Scots and Vikings aren't the only ones to wear them of course.

And I've stumbled on a whole website devoted to Confronting the Objections of Trouser Tyrants, which has tickled me more than a little.

And made me very glad that I don't, and very likely never will, wear a kilt.

Nice slippers, though.

What's that - 15 C? That's hardly freezing cold.

It's not even a little bit cold. At least, not around here (New England). It's Spring-like.

 

[Lohrenswald]

-15 C is very cold are you guys high or what

 

[Snerk]

Yeah -15 or colder isn't very common here. -10 isn't all that unusual but usually doesn't go much below that.
