Hot Pockets, continued

I don’t want to lose the progress we’ve made on the Hot Pocket issue.

Please continue. . .

As I was saying, the pizza flavored Hot Pockets are good, but I get sick of them really fast. It would take me a solid week of eating nothing but BBQ Beef Hot pockets for lunch before I got sick of those ones.

Most underappreciated Hot Pockets???

My vote goes to BBQ Beef.

If they had a Keiichi Yabu flavor, that would definitely be the most underappreciated.

Government allotted Financial Aid was my friend in college. I wonder if they know they gave me like at least $7,500 that I absolutely didn’t need.

They probably did know, actually. Because now I’m paying it back with interest….

It sucked, though, because stupid Andronico’s didn’t have the BBQ Beef flavor, so I had to drive ALL THE WAY INTO OAKLAND just to go to Safeway to get what I wanted.

Andronico’s: They’ll have any kind of alcohol you want – in every aisle no less! – but they won’t have your favorite flavor Hot Pocket. Or Bagel Bites. And they’re overpriced and have awful produce.

But the alcohol.

Though my Hot Pocket consumption has gone down in recent years, I’ll say BBQ is in a class by itself. All of the other kinds seem to be variations of the pizza or ham & cheese varieties.

Taped off the radio was the best because you’d miss the first few second of the song and then have to hear all the volume changes if you adjusted anything while the song was going. At least, that’s how our recorder worked.

On the temperature gauge (if you have an electric oven) it will just read F U

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

He was just trying something new. The logic runs thusly:

Pitch Well = Lose.
Therefore, determine outcome of pitching poorly.
Proceed based on findings.

It makes me sad when one of the announcers has to pick an opposing player as player of the game, cuz our guys don’t produce well enough to merit the designation.
