Someone starts a thread about how awesome their poached egg was this morning. A few posts in someone, like you, mentions that they don't like eggs. The OP chimes in about how maybe they would like eggs if they poached eggs the way they do. You say no, that probably won't work. A third persons asks how do you know unless you've tried it?

You didn't mention the guy who tells the OP he's poaching his eggs all wrong and needs to work on his technique. Also the guy who gloats that the eggs we eat here are inferior (a year ago, he switched to eggs from a different farm, and they bigger, tastier and have more golden yolks - and he comes here frequently to remind us how good they are). And then, the guy who got tired of carrying hen eggs home from the supermarket because they're too bulky and heavy, so he sold them all and switched to quail eggs. Most of us think they're too small to be of much use, but he insists they're as versatile as any other egg. Lastly, the chap who had his eggs delivered from the supermarket, and they were broken. So now he's convinced that all eggs, especially the ones we're eating, are terrible quality and insists on telling us before he disappears for good...

And we're paying Tulo 20 million for playing for the Yankees.

You're paying Tulo 20 million to be on the IL for the Yankees...the Yankees have $88 million on the IL...

A mere pittance when the entire NYC area just has two Major League teams, and usually just one that's any good. In a just and good world NYC would have always had 14 teams and the Yanks wouldn't have any more cash than the Reds or the Orioles.

Ever had duck or goose eggs?

Pretty much the same as cackleberries from a barnyard buzzard.

But use duck or goose eggs in cooking.

If the recipe calls for 2 eggs, 2 duck eggs will be too much. Even only one goose egg will be equal to more than two chicken eggs.

But use two duck eggs in place of two chicken eggs in, say a cake recipe. The cake will be taller and fluffier. Way better.

Even only one goose egg will be equal to more than two chicken eggs.

So now we get onto the whole goose egg (full frame) vs chicken egg (APS-C) vs quail egg (Micro 4/3) debate. Yes, the goose egg is bigger and arguably a little richer... but, it takes longer to cook, and it's more expensive. I can carry a quail's egg in my pocket, but it doesn't make for a very satisfying breakfast - and it's not as cheap as you'd expect. The chicken egg - surely the APS-C sensor of the egg world - is relatively compact, quick to cook, delivers decent results and is good value for money... So many eggs, so little time...

LOL!!!!!

And then there's the poster who derails the great egg debate by insisting on the equivalence between chickens and eggs, causing feathers to fly on that topic!

Finally the moderators come in and force everyone to walk on eggshells to avoid thread closure.

When do we start talking about cheese?

Edit: I have to mention that Bautista only hit .300 once in his life, and was a .247 career hitter.

Look at his on base percentages. His last year in Toronto .211 batting average, only one year in Toronto did he have an on base percentage less than .300, with 2 over .400.Including for 3 years with over 40 home runs. 4 times he had over 100 RBI and 4 times over 100 runs scored.4 years with 200 or more runs score plus RBI. Twice an Allstar, 6 times on the ballot. Also 2 home run titles during that time. You just showed how you can make a top 5% guy look average using stats using selective information.

But he's a jerk, and was a Blue Jay. He inexplicably got good at an advanced stage of his career. I'm an Oriole fan, and this is the internet. I'm supposed to selectively pick the facts that make him look bad!

"But EVFs give you all this great information!"

"Maybe, but they give me headaches and they don't look natural"

"But OVFs are useless in really low light!"

"Yeah, but EVFs are really noisy in low light!"

... (three pages of forum posts later)...

"I'm an EVF fan and OVFs suck!"

"Well, I'm an OVF fan and EVFs suck!"


Sorry, fellas... couldn't resist

"Alternative facts" just about sums up the problem.

A Baltimore fan, I sympathize, boy we had a great series of games a few years ago. Mark Trumbo was our absolute nemesis. Amazing how many of those guys are gone, on both teams.

We already did, check my Balderson Cheese post.

Yep, there's been a lot of good games between the teams over the years. Going back at least to Gregg Olson bouncing that curveball in the 9th of the penultimate game of the '89 season.


Trumbo is still, unfortunately, on the O's. Just on the DL. Another ill-advised contract for an aging hitter without a glove.

Oh no! Another wedge issue coming our whey!
