Mojo he's right.  Where are you crossing the border?  If it is the Niagara River, the Buffalo/Fort Erie duty free is better than the Niagara Falls one, or Lewiston/Queenston.  Grab a case of PBR for yourself, and a gallon of Canadian rye whiskey.

Don’t forget the Poutine

Never had it.  Gravy on French fries, sure, but not the cheese curds.  No, experienced Rule V party goers will know that what is on offer, along with the PBR, is pink popcorn.

And before anyone asks, yes I have a guest room, but at this point it has become a sort of shrine to Lee Panas.  I have stitched some ribbon around each of the barf stains on the rug, and incorporated a little brass tag into each, indicating the year in which it occurred.

He uses the same barrell of popcorn from five years ago.  He just tops it off with a new bag and some melted butter.  By the time we reach the lower layers of old popcorn, nobody notices.

Barf with chunks of pink popcorn in it. That’s a great image to hold on our (US) day of feasting. 😎

The Detroit Tigers release SS prospect Christian Quintz #mlb

I can't find anything about this guy on line...

[Jim Cowan]

Dammit!  They're letting go of Christian Quintz?

[Tiger337]

I can not find anything at all about Christian Quintz.  Edman doesn't even have a spreadsheet with his name on it.

I know, I tried Google and DuckDuckGo. Nada

[RandyMarsh]

If Edman doesnt have him on a spreadsheet are we sure the person actually exists?

My first thought was Christian Santana....he ended the year on the Development List and maybe there was something with age/identity.

Vanasco is back on a minor league deal.

Not saying this isn't him, because if there is an identity issue this may not matter, but Cristian Santana doesn't have an H in his name.

It wasn’t full identity theft, just the “h”?

So there's a perp that's just getting going and starting out small to test boundaries?

But you have to buy the vowels.

I'd like to buy a "D:" 

"The doldrums of late November"

[Jim Cowan]

Grab another PBR and a fistful of pink popcorn, Rule 5 is starting soon.
