Goin' to the game tonight

Gaudin, is this because I called you CSB? If so, keep it up, CSB.

Fuson Latos sounds like a delicious new culinary style.

Mic Heater. DO IT, baguettes.

I was going to say, I know from experience

I believe, under those circumstances, you'll maintain the same level of readership

but there will be an increase in the number of snide remarks from a few of those readers. I can’t say which ones for sure, but I’m sure they’re around somewhere.
