Lincecum was in S.I this week

PrintI 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

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.

Ghiradelli!
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.
Well, that also explains the whips.

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

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?

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 suppose it makes sense for someone with “Baron” in her handle. ;)

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.
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 like steak.

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…

I have never felt compelled to own Tom Landry’s hat.
If you like things that are funny, perhaps you will enjoy ChatterBalks Dot Com?
How about the Denver Broncos?

Oh man Lindt is pure sex. I use the dark stuff for my chocolate baking and candy making.

Luckily, Scharffen Berger does a 99%, and they’re right down the street.
