How long
is too long? And what, if anything, constitutes too much?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Plus, I'm getting sleepy and need something to distract me and keep me all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

4. One risks a sprained thumb.
Or is that tongue?

6. It's a serious but under-appreciated risk
Someone should do a public service announcement about it, but sadly, society doesn't really care if millions of innocent men (and women) suffer from sprained thumbs (or tongues). :(

11. But what do you call the 4-6 weeks with your thumb and/or tongue in a splint?

17. That's what I'm saying! It's a horror...
It sounds as though our friend from FL can find the silver lining and persevere through the pain, but I have a more melancholic temperament...

13. For the thumb: time to call in the second string.
You've got two hands.

As for the tongue...I'd call that fond memories.

Too much on the other hand is never enough. ;-)

19. 'Too long'
is the 12 days between now and the first spring game.*



"Too much" is an oft-repeated lyric: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdzDMtUuMoA









*Dodgers vs. Atlanta, Thursday, Feb. 28, 10:05 a.m. PST, KABC 790 — and it'd fuckin' better be on XM or somebody's gonna get hoit.

than my Cubbies.

Cubbies play the Giants on the 28th at 1:05 MT. WGN radio. No tee vee...but they're gonna be on WGN tee vee on March 8. And March 9. And ESPN2 vs the Rox on the 21st.

ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy.

22. I may have a doubleheader
Dunno if KNBR's gonna carry the Giants-Cubs game, since it's not on a weekend. But, it is the spring opener, so they damned well oughta.

Then again, I dunno yet if XM's gonna pick up KABC's broadcast of the Dodgers-Atlanta game, since they haven't posted a schedule. If they don't, I'm liable to get destructive.
