Met Agnostic. Troublemaker too. Yankees are the only real team NYC. Mets are like the Jets. They hold no majority of fans in any county in the US, even their home City.

What about this guy. I love it so much I stored it on my clipboard: "Worst case: Despite the new owner and all the good tidings from the offseason, the Mets prove to still be the Mets. The rotation behind deGrom can't stay healthy. The bullpen implodes. The defense is one of the league's worst. The Mets stagger to 80 wins and a fourth-place finish. Discord ensues and Lindor decides there has to be a better situation for him somewhere else. -- Doolittle" 😆🤣 Back to the 🐻🐻‍❄️🧸Cam! 😆

I clearly call it FakeNews. It has vinegar in it. It's already safe at room temp.

Nothing! 😆 It was designed in Buffalo, 1950-1960... The lock & dam that is. 😃 Honest! Au jus is for Chicago Italian Beef. Dipped, Wet, or Dry:

What do you know... You're not from Buffalo. We might like ketchup! 😜 It's bar food. Why people make more out of it than it's worth is silly. The beef is done rarer first and then finishes off well in the gravy.

They rebuilt. That was the first one. You mess with beef, you play with fire 🔥... 😉😜 I never got why it needed to be refrigerated. Doesn't it contain vinegar?

If you want it done right... Skip the au jus... It's working man's food... Original invention of the recipe calls for gravy: How the coastal elites co-opted it with au jus is beyond me: https://buffalonews.com/news/local/history/torn-down-tuesday-bailos-famed-for-beef-on-weck-and-an-urban-legend/article_c401f97b-2d78-5ac5-91ee-b3d85bb4546c.html "...The draft beers were big. The shrimp cocktail was big. And famously, the beef on weck was huge. The well-done beef, usually topped with GRAVY and horseradish at Bailo's, poured off of the full-sized kimmelweck roll. Again, at a time when dozens — if not hundreds — of corner saloons were carving up beef on weck around the region, Bailo's was famous all over the city for people who'd make the trip for what was universally recognized as one of the city's best roast beef sandwiches."

Here's a whole soundtrack:

Does anybody remember the cheat to: "Kid Chameleon?" So... You can skip right to the Boss (Heady Metal) Level (Plethora)? Well... Here it for a refresher: https://kidchameleon.fandom.com/wiki/Plethora_cheat

No. They played a regular schedule. Few blips... But played alloted teams thru season. The NFCeast just sux.

A record losing streak. Or, let's look on positive side. A team out there could have had a record winning streak. I suspect both are more easily attainable with the Bush League antics... How this whole year and part of last year, if it doesn't get an asterisk is beyond me....

The other 26 teams the Sabres never get to play? Only about 6 teams get to play the Sabres... How did the League not see something like this coming?... I guess the Sabres get an excuse. It's like Groundhog Day out there. Who do they play next?

😆... But there's no tolls at any Federal lock in the US! Industry pays the fees for the average Joe. 😉😜😘 Getting ordered around is better free! You can take your chances in Somalia 🇸🇴 or Yemen 🇾🇪!

It's the 1st time canal transit fee that dings you for $2 grand. The Egyptians don't trust green sailors!😉😁

FYI: @BringBackFergy @Gugny I am hard @ work calculating what it would cost Gugny to bring his 16' deep-V boat through the Suez Canal south from the Mediterranean Sea. Let me know if my numbers are correct. Lowest I can enter is 1m draft and 1 ton each for Suez Canal Net Tonnage (SCNT) and 1 ton for Gross Vessel Tonnage (GRT)... https://www.wilhelmsen.com/tollcalculators/suez-toll-calculator/ The bad news is Gug, your transit toll will be: $6,465.38. BUT, the good news is, your dingy qualifies for a 65% rebate! You save: $3,555.96! for a grand total toll of: $2,909.42! Good deal!!!! Happy sailing ⛵💓!

https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2021/03/29/suez-cargo-ship-ever-given-viral-app-boston-public-library-curator/amp "The enormous cargo ship plugging up the Suez Canal was set free after nearly a week Monday, but now you can customize your own catastrophic global blockage of world trade thanks to a web app made by a staffer at the Boston Public Library. If that floats your boat. Garrett Dash Nelson, a curator at the library’s Leventhal Map & Education Center, whipped up the applet Sunday morning between cups of coffee. It lets you place an aerial image of the Ever Given over satellite imagery anywhere. ..."

Thing is, it wasn't just the "mud." I read the bow was stuck on rock. FWIW... Not really simple... Try to get it unstuck one way, it gets stuck deeper the other way. Or, like trying to go through a 3 foot door opening with a 5 foot 2x4 length wise. The ship is 300m long, the width of the canal is 203m. Ships are simply getting too big for it... They probably need to dig an emergency lane? 😉

Probably didn't want to unload it so as to unbalance it... I guess there's a systematic way to unload those containers... Counter balance it with filling the ballast tanks? ??? Why they just didn't rush in and start unloading containers... Would be worse.

Wasn't the load acting as ballast? Why would there be anything else acting as ballast other than fuel?

"We didn't start the fire It was always burning, since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it..." Anyway... It may have been human error: https://nypost.com/2021/03/28/human-error-may-be-behind-ship-blocking-suez-canal-authorities/amp/ Blame the Indians... The whole crew I believe is being worked by Indian Nationals... You think 🤔... ??? Ain't just call centers folks? Cheapest labor wins!

That's not bad! But, that's a BIG boat! I wonder if Moses had knowledge of that way back when? 😉 If you look closely at the map of the world tides... It looks like it's more pronounced @ Suez... Anyway, the boat is stuck inland, wonder what the effect is?

4x... Dog's name was Major and he was getting outta the shower nekkid... Can happen to anyone when you move too fast. 😉😜😘
