Lay's Potato Chips recently held a contest for regular schmoes to suggest their next potato chip flavor. In an era that has seen the advent of the Dill Pickle potato chip and the Hot Dog With Ketchup And Mustard potato chip, this is a pretty tall order. Lay's chose the three best ideas and is presenting them to us with a flourish.

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It’s fun to lose
And to pretend
She’s overboard
And self-assured
I know I know
A dirty word

Doc, I would love to read your take on what specifically makes Felix such a rare and unique player/personality.

YouTube channel Toddle Tale compiles older videos for all of our "look at the weird things kids do" needs. In this instance, a baby who is taking her first steps. The end result is somewhat... soiled... by their dog, who clearly desires some of the excitement.

I can't believe that the greater Seattle internet intelligencia isn't blowing up over this little tid bit of information that came out this past weekend. During the off season Nick Franklin went from 160 lbs to 195 lbs. That is an increase of 35 lbs of bash-brother muscle! I can't wait to see him in action! Doing this tells me that he is preparing to transition from SS to 2nd or even 3rd base.
WHOOOOOOOOOOPS
So, we're looking at an imminent roids ban eh. Michael Morse got dinged on it ... when he was a minor leaguer, before he had the MLBPA behind him, that is.
Our resident boot camp instructor offers a more hopeful scenario:

Bat571: Actually, having been around 19-22 year old sailors for my naval career, then around high schoolers in my second career, and having sent 2 19-year old boys on 2-year church missions, I wouldn't be too alarmed at a gain from rail-thin to Ackley's size. And I bet Ryan is about 190 (B-ref says 195 for him, too.), So, I know Florida is under suspicion, but I would guess Franklin is clean.Bat571: I went to boot camp at 128 lbs and came out after 11 weeks at 158. I weighed between 155-160 for 25 years in the canoe club. When a kid grows, he grows.
Two things:
My son's best friend is doing his 5-star hotel night as I type this, before flying off to boot camp in the USAF (sorry Bat!). I watched him use P90X to gain 40 pounds of muscle in three months ... well, he claims it's 40. Maybe it was 28. Or 31. Or something. The kid was skinny and now he's got guns. He had trouble curling 30's more than a few reps and now, three months on, he concentration-curls the 50's like a rat pressing a bar.
I know everything seems like a metaphor for a Monday morning on Monday mornings themselves, but let me tell you, this dog gets it. Having found his joy of joys, he refuses to leave his beloved stick, even if it means an existential woe. Listen to that adorable whine and tell me that dog doesn't have a bad case of the Mondays.

When people go to pick out their pets, many are very particular about what they’re looking for. Instead of thinking about how healthy an animal is going to be and thus how long it’s going to live and be their companion, people seem more preoccupied with the way the animal looks and, unfortunately, the quality of its breeding paperwork. While having “good breeding” may seem like a beneficial thing simply by nature of what it implies, the truth of the matter is that purebreed animals are notorious for having many complicated health issues.
San Francisco is a city built around innovation and busy people. Put those two things together and you get food trucks. Give those food trucks a few years to perfect their offerings, band together and create an exquisite buffet of sorts that tours the city bringing amazing tastiness to all corners of the city and you get Off The Grid.
One of the more delightful and also slippery aspects of Seasons is the special holidays. Not every season has a party, and not every holiday has a party. Some parties you would want to hold in some seasons but not others. Given that each season only lasts seven days (at the default settings) it can be a tricky bit of timing to get everything lined up just right. But that's the fun part of the challenge!
