  1. I'm sure any of these providers would be happy to bring you something Greek to eat:
  2. The conditional option comes into play if deGrom undergoes a Tommy John surgery or any sort of right elbow/shoulder injury during the 2023-26 seasons that keeps him on the injured list for 130 consecutive days during any season, or 186 days in a row during any service period, according to The Associated Press. The 2028 conditional option is worth at least $20MM, but that number jumps to $30MM if deGrom pitches at least 625 innings during the life of the contract or finishes in the top five in Cy Young voting. Should he pitch at least 725 innings and record at least three top-five Cy Young finishes, the option will be worth $37MM. If deGrom doesn’t meet these specifications in 2023-26, the option can still be worth $37MM in 2028 if he pitches 160+ innings in 2027, has a top-five Cy Young voting finish, and is judged by an independent doctor to be healthy heading into 2028. The deal includes a full no-trade clause.
  3. My best friend texted me a pic this morning. I don’t keep track when I sign her up for magazine subscriptions. Today she got 5 copies of Harper’s Bazaar. Which must have made her mail carrier think how (much) bizarre! this is true, btw.
  4. (tradition, that is...) BBC cancels Christmas Day ‘Top of the Pops’ after nearly 60 years The BBC has canceled its iconic Christmas Day “Top of the Pops” show, a holiday television mainstay in England for 57 years, due to financial reasons. It began as a weekly series in 1964, featuring the Rolling Stones as its first band. It debuted its first Christmas special on Dec. 24 that year. The next year, it ran on Christmas Day. The series was the longest-running weekly musical show on television when it was taken off the air in 2006 amid faltering ratings.
  5. Florida man busted after trying to steal from Walmart during 'shop with a cop' event
  6. maximum confidentiality and seriousness. Available for meeting in maximum privacy with pleasant and respectful people. I guarantee and require maximum cleanliness and hygiene. Somebody please give this guy a thesaurus.
  7. One of these days, somebody will start a topic "Why is my printer working normally?"
  8. Box truck tumbles off California highway onto separate crash scene
  9. I know this will break your heart, but I expected the final show to end with these two crazy kids realizing they were made for each other and deciding to get back together, but alas... (hey- if Ben & JLo can make love work the second time around, so can T&C.) I watched the first part of Leslie Jordan's appearance on CELEBRITY IOU, and he was as enjoyable as you'd have expected. I also watched the first half of Terry Crews' episode. The highlight was when he and Drew had a shirtless Jackhammering contest. I think the last time Drew's torso got any sun was in 2012. You wish he gave you his willy. Or maybe it was you who wished he gave you his willy. They talked about their evolving style choices as the years went on... and on... and on... As Patrick Swayze once famously said, I think only if he had a nail gun at this point.
  10. I thought Texas' signings of Seager and Semien were dumb and dumber last year, but they have now reached dumbest status... 5 YEARS! $185 million for DeGrom. Great pitcher, but how healthy will he be during that contract? And, of course, there's an option for a 6th year at the same salary.
  11. Rumor has it that George Clooney may be the mystery guest star they've been hyping all season. Dan's & Jackie's mother in law is an ignorant slut.
  12. It's actually easy with a bit of practice. Then you can correctly pronounce Chanukah and Christmas.
  13. An elderly Arizona couple decided to tie the knot where it all started — in the mayonnaise aisle at their local grocery store where they first met. Brenda and Dennis Delgado found love while shopping for the creamy condiment in aisle 8 at the Fry’s grocery store in Casa Grande last year. So they decided to trade vows in the same place earlier this month. “I’m 72, he’s 78 now,” Brenda told Phoenix NBC affiliate News 12. “We don’t have that many more years to do something dumb and stupid.” Brenda was looking for a jar of Miracle Whip when her future husband approached her and made a remark about the masks they were wearing on their faces. The two immediately hit it off. “We both had masks on, and I say to her ‘you know the best thing about wearing a mask?” Dennis told her. “You could pass these [people] not wearing a mask, and curse them out under your breath, they don’t hear a word you’re saying,’ and she started laughing.” The two talked for a half hour and even continued their conversation outside of the store before exchanging phone numbers. The next week, Dennis attended a service at Brenda’s church. The two quickly bonded over their shared experience of loss. Brenda had recently lost her husband of 30 years to cancer, while Dennis had just lost his wife of 45 years. Dennis told the outlet that the grief he felt over his wife’s death pushed him away from God before he met Brenda, but found his faith again as his heart healed while spending time with Brenda. “I was angry at him for taking her away from me and I wanted to apologize to him,” Dennis said. By April, their relationship was serious enough that Dennis wanted to propose. After he told her that he was going to get her an engagement ring, she had to call him a few hours later to make sure that he wasn’t drunk, Fox 13 reported. When she learned that he was not drunk but completely serious, she suggested he propose to her in the grocery store aisle. Over a year after they first met, the couple returned to the spot to wed, surrounded by friends, family and mayonnaise. “It was my idea to get married there,” Brenda told News 12. “I’m kind of weird okay.” “They hid me in the aisle next to the condiment aisle,” she recalled, smiling. Dennis, meanwhile, waited on the other side. “She came around. They cued the wedding march over their loudspeakers in the store. It was wonderful,” Dennis said. The staff of the grocery store even bought the newlyweds a custom flower arrangement complete with Miracle Whip and mayonnaise. “You never know when you’re going to walk down the condiment aisle at Fry’s and you’re going to meet someone that you didn’t know you needed in your life,” Dennis said.
  14. Christmas is around the corner — and who wouldn’t want to celebrate the holidays in an actual gingerbread house made entirely out of Pop-Tarts? On Zillow, an off-the-market home described as the Pop-Tarts Gingerbread Lodge at 1 Kellogg’s Square has been listed. And it looks, well, delicious. The only problem? It’s probably meant for one of Santa’s little helpers. Spanning a tiny 35 square feet, Pop-Tarts described the home as “just north of the Wild Berry Woods in the foothills of the Applefritterlachians.” The pantry-style farmhouse features “frosted finishings” and “a toasty interior,” the listing notes. Features include a baked kitchen and living room with a frosted chocolate-chip archway. To celebrate their limited-edition gingerbread Pop-Tarts flavor, the company has featured the home on the real estate site. According to the listing, the home features built-in frosted raspberry cabinets, with frosted cookies-and-creme counter space. The living room comes with a “crafted Eggo Frosted Maple Flavor” area rug with mid-century modern Frosted Chocolate Fudge furnishings, the listing adds. It also comes with frosted gingerbread Pop-Tarts above the fireplace, posing as an art piece. The bedroom features Frosted Apple Fritter wallpaper and a sun-drenched reading nook, which “looks out on all .0006 acres of property,” the listing says. It “is fit for a full-on party that is anything but cookie-cutter,” the listing jokes. “This pastoral palace has to be seen – and tasted – to be believed.”
  15. He assures me he has not created a new username and is not posting at all. He is fine, though.
  16. The Angels acquired Hunter Renfroe for 3 players, one of whom is a former Yankee farm hand with the great pitcher's name of Janson Junk. (ALSO) I've always known the Red Sox are an organization without scruples, but they're not even trying to hide it anymore... they have signed a crook to play for their organization: Red Sox ink outfielder Narciso Crook to minor league contract, according to transactions log at MLB.com. He is not to be confused with Matt 'I am not a' Krook, a starter in the minors for the Yanks.
  17. One of the survivors of the Walmart shooting, whom the killer shot at but missed, is named Briana Taylor. Different spelling, but that would have been eerie if she was also shot dead.
  18. Ex-Texas HS football coach accused of wrongly touching, spanking students So what is the right way to do it?
  19. no, i don't
  20. The elementary school I went to for 7 months in 5th grade had their choir chosen to sing with Kelly Clarkson at the Rockefeller Center Xmas Tree Lighting.
  21. Why don't you take a gander at a recipe? 😁😇😜😝
  22. This should've gone here: My sister will serve turkey, but I'll bet more of the BJs' Mac & Cheese will be eaten. Does that count?
