Lincecum was in S.I this week

I opened the weekly edition of Sports Illistrated this week to see the wonderful suprise that the enchanter was in there

most specifically the "pop culture grid"

this is where they ask about 3 players certain questions about pop culture (obviosly) and some other random tidbits

one of the questions asked was "what was the wierdest thing a fan has ever said to you"

 

and lincecum replied "that i looked smaller than a bat"

 

this doesnt make any sense, any general comparison would show that a bat is much bigger than lincecum, maybe even twice as big

another interesting side note, he also admitted that he has "never been to a concert"

personally, i think this means the guy needs to get out more, give his arm a break.  Something tells me he had a very baseball centered childhood

Fanpost hijack!

Favorite candies. I love me some Skittles and Jelly Belly jelly beans.

I used to say my faves were Caramello, but I don’t know that they ever were.

I can eat Junior Mints until they kill me, though.

I love me some sour candies

sweet tarts or sour patch kids, specifically. Until they make my tongue hurt.

I also like dark chocolate. A lot.

Dark chocolate with raspberry. Mmm…

I don’t like making my tongue hurt. Therefore, I don’t have a good time with sour candies.

I’d rather make my stomach hurt. That’s why I go for sickeningly sweet!

Back in 8th grade, Warheads were all the rage, so my friends and I would by packs of them and pop those little buggers in our mouths all day, sucking the sour powder til our mouths went numb. I’m pretty sure I missed a lot of good tastes that year.

Warheads are too much

They aren’t enjoyable to me.

I love sour stuff

I think it’s because I enjoy pain.

I think it was the warheads that eventually put me off sour candies for good. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy a sour patch kid every now and then… I just don’t have the zest for it anymore. Too many days without the use of my tongue in my past….

im sure Natto hated the fact you couldnt use your tongue

by Giant Voodoo on Jun 7, 2008 12:28 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't like making my tongue hurt either

But there is a length of time before one’s tongue hits critical mass in which the mouth is in mouth is in taste heaven. It is so worth it.

I thought that said favorite candles.

But to answer your hijack, Kit Kats anyone?

by withclubsauce on Jun 6, 2008 11:56 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Random pirate talk, for reasons unknown...

arrrgh! Kit Kats be splendid, matey.

Kit Kats are awesome

I only like chocolate when there is stuff within the chocolate, preferably crispy wafers. Second would be whatever is in a Snickers bar.

Seriously

The only chocolate I can stand plain is dark chocolate. And even in that case I prefer something with the chocolate.

Nah, I could eat pounds of dark chocolate straight. That stuff is savory in all the right places.

You know if you eat 25 pounds of it you can get high.

Yeah, but the weight you gain from it will bring you back down

And I am okay with dark chocolate straight. I just prefer something in it.

Oh you and your fancy candies

I just like making a huge mess in the kitchen when I make the candy. It looks like a chocolate bomb went off in there when they’re finished. Plus the “wow you made these?!” comments do wonders for my ego.

Though when I’m being a braindead slob and not slaving over a double boiler, my favorite candy is saltwater taffy.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cakes. I could live on that for a month.

..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.

by Cookyman on Jun 7, 2008 5:31 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I actually don’t like Reese’s cups. Fake weird peanut butter FTL.

Maybe if it was fake weird chunky peanut butter…

Peanut Butter Cups are interesting

I love them. But only if they are fresh. I have no idea how long it takes but there comes a point where the “peanut butter” in the middle starts to get…rancid. I don’t like Peanut Butter Cups in those cases. And, in fact, those few instances have kind of soured me on them overall. But if I get a fresh one, I still will enjoy it.

And the Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard from Dairy Queen is still one of my favorite ice cream related treats.

I’ve long said that a Giants swimsuit calendar is a great marketing idea. You know how fast those things would sell?

Of course the flipside of that is Omar parading around in an animal print man thong…
