Winter winter winter. winter blues. One day it's warm, one day it's cold. holidays are over, spring training has yet to begin. What is there to do? Perhaps we should start breaking down TwinsFest.
- What's the worst month? I'm going to say November. Maybe January or February. November sucks because there's usually no snow, everything is dead and it's cold. And the Twins just got done not winning the World Series.
- So myspace blah blah blah security measures blah blah blah, sex offenders blah blah blah, new regulations taking affect in 49 states. But not Texas. WHY NOT TEXAS?
- Who the hell is Hank Steinbrenner and when did he take over for George? He sucks. K-bro baseball blog sums up the frustrating Johan to the Yankees situation by inventing a new dance.
- Sour Patch Kids are good, but sometimes they stick to ones teeth.
- When did contact lenses become so popular? That invention has seriously altered the way people see the world and how people see those people. But nobody really appreciates them. They get a bad wrap. All you ever hear about is, "ah, I lost my contact" or shit like that. On the other hand, they did kill off Rec Specs.
- What's another word for thesaurus?
- North Dakota is all mad about an article in National Geographic. North Dakota is last in tourism, has more residents leave than any other state and has no hills. Sounds like Nat'l Geographic just put it all together.
And finally..
Which Katie Holmes hair style do you like better?

I like Katie Holmes with long hair. She looks like a Cruise cult member in the other pic.
National Geographic does have it right and I've been living in and around the dissolution of North Dakota for the past four years. The majority of schools around the area where I live now spend a great deal of their time making plans for what they will do and where the remaining students will go when their school eventually closes. It is a sad and bleak situation.
My parents home town, which had a population near 1000 in the late 1970s, now hovers around 400 and their school, which has already consolidated with other towns twice before, is discussing closing alltogether.
Its funny how in a country where we are trying to keep people out in order to slow the skyrocketing population, there is a state where the population is actualy shrinking. North Dakota also has the highest percentage of population displaced to another state. And that state? You guessed it, Minnesota.
Unless decent jobs are created in rural North Dakota this cycle wont stop until there is nothing left of the state except for a few large cities.
That might be your most random tuesday notes post yet Mike. Good work.
February is definitely the worst month. Although it's the shortest there is no good holiday. Don't get me started on Valentines Day. It's colder than November and it's usually the super cold snow that doesn't make good forts.
The reason Texas isn't involved is because the AG says it's not a good plan. "We cannot endorse any initiative that that fails to implement a reliable age verification system," Texas AG, Abbott said in a letter Monday to MySpace's chief executive officer, Chris DeWolfe. "Doing so would give Texas parents and their children a false sense of security."
Hank Steinbrenner is George’s son. Yes, he does suck.
Sour Patch Kids are really good. I wonder what proportion of their sales are from movie theatres?
Contact lenses are pretty sweet if you think about them. The first approval of a Soft Contact Lens by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was in 1971. But just like the contact revolutionized the vision industry, it will be nothing compared to Lasik. How long until they perform Lasik to help you see the seams on the baseball better?
Book of synonyms, or arguably, lexicon.
Obviously the answer is clear. Legalized gambling, get some developers to build some super mega resorts that feature indoor waterslides and casinos. Like an Atlantis of the North.
Definitely the one on the left. Dawson Creek style is way better than Scientology crazy style.
What does North Daktoa have to offer the rest of the country besides farm land? Farming is easy. Pretty soon the government is going to automate the whole thing and like a dozen engineers will run the whole state.
I agree with February being the worst month. It's really cold and the snow is dirty and dry.
I dont like sour patch kids. Reeses Peices are my movie theater candy choice.
Why is the Katie Holm question even a question? Do you like the helmet head mike?
haha, didnt you wear rec specs daymonster?
I like the stepford wives hair cut.
She's a robot.
ND is kinda slowly turning into Montana.
But less cool.
And screw Feb.
ND is way worse than Montana.
And I obviously wore Rec Specs Brex. I was like the Horace Grant of spring and summer league baseball. If memory serves I think those Rec Specs saved me from a line drive from a young jeff hudson.
we should call sour patch kids and ask them what percentage of sales come from movie theaters.
and yes, katie holmes looks much better as a long haired high schooler than a crazy robot.
"We cannot endorse any initiative that that fails to implement a reliable age verification system," so without understanding anything about the myspace issue, is it fair to say that, for the first time ever, texas is being smart?
legalized gambling would absolutly bring jobs, money and tourism to north dakota. that would be hilarious to watch.
it's kinda sad that everyone agreed that february sucks - guess what next month is...
Brex, Have you ever farmed?
November is the worst. February has spring training and there is optimism that spring is only a month…or three away. January has New Years and MLK day.
I thought everyone on myspace were little girls and sex offender?
Thesaurus is latin for treasury. So, you would have to find a latin word that is synonymous with treasury, but the word would not be synonymous in English. How about bibliosynonym?
I don’t think NoDak should be upset about this article. I think it makes ND more interesting or at least more relevant. Being from South Dakota I would have no objections if the same article was written about SD. I happen to like desolate prairie and ghost towns.
Don’t tell anyone but I actually rented the first season and second seasons of Dawson’s Creek a couple years ago.
littlejo has a point brex. Us city folk dont really get how difficult it is to do something like farm.
Feb. is not the worst month. Pitchers and catchers report in Feb.
Somehow I dont think that ND would have the same draw as Nevada if they were to legalize gambling here. Also, I think the native population that runs the casinos up here would have something to say about that if that issue ever came up.
yeah, i linked to that article in the post.
i think soups right. a barren prairie does have it's appeal. If current trends hold, i could move to ND at the age of 50 and i'd be the coolest guy in the state.
Whats the draw of Nevada?... the heat? Thats why you make a super mega casino connected to other super mega casinos that is as big as Las Vegas and all enclosed. it's brilliant. I am gathering funds right now.
left.
I forgot about this website.
I should write another post again.
