YOU WOULDNT CALL A PERSON PAWS SCAGGS OR CHAIRMAN MEOW

Has Eno ever tried to start a Beergraphs fan league softball team to try to play against the Fangraphs beer league softball team?

Dan Szymborski

1:45

No idea

Chuncey Wiggins

Would you rather attend a private event in the Donald Duck sailor suit (also no pants) or give a lecture in the Mickey Mouse suit (shorts with no shirt)?

Dan Szymborski

1:45

Lecture

What is the fastest time a healthy young adult could run a mile that you would call "slow"?

Dan Szymborski

1:46

I dunno, 9 minutes? I've run a 9 minute mile and I'm out of shape

mtsw

1:46

Ever play "Endless Legend?" I feel like I should like it more than I actually do.

Dan Szymborski

1:46

I have not - on my list but never got around to it

Von Schloss

1:46

Warrior or rogue?

Dan Szymborski

1:46

Warrior

JBJ Fan Club

Who's more handsome, Tom Brady or Julian Edelman?

Dan Szymborski

1:47

Brady

Make WAR not Love

1:47

Favorite bubblegum? favorite kill move (Street Fighter 2, preferably)?

Dan Szymborski

1:47

Don't actually like gum

And the Vega dive when he climbs in the background

Re: Markakis

any chance the Cubs acquire him, then sacrifice him to help rid the curse? Similar to a sign and trade. Acquire and sacrifice? Acquire and sacrifice.

Chuncey Wiggins

What's the worst way to play Overwatch?

Dan Szymborski

1:47

On a Speak 'n' Spell. You'll have a difficult time installing it

hscer

1:47

Seems more convenient actually. Like an open closet 2 feet from the machines.

OddBall Herrera

Ever read Wheel of Time? They are getting ready to announce a tv series on it...pretty exciting, Song of Ice and Fire can't hold a candle to those books, but there's a lot less rape and random violence, so it'll probably be canceled after two weeks :(

Dan Szymborski

1:47

On my to-read

Matt

1:47

Mat latos has Cat Latos. Garret Jones (should) have Ferret Jones. Nick Markakis (probably) has Nick Bark-akis. Do you think Mike Trout has a pet fish? Named Mike Bass?

Dan Szymborski

1:48

If he's Mike Trout, a Mike Trout fish should be a trout named Mike Person

Enzo Amore

1:48

Why don't some republicans like Trump? Is it just because he's not part of the club and they're looking out for their own interests?

Dan Szymborski

1:48

I think it's pretty obvious why some people wouldn't like trump

rustydude

I eat about 4 oz of nuts per day. It's advised to eat 1.5 oz. Will I be experiencing some reverse negative effect from eating too many or is their some secret hidden "good" effect from over-gorging?

Dan Szymborski

1:48

Mr. Peanut was a dude before he ate too many nuts

Guest

1:48

Jotcast or CIL?

Dan Szymborski

1:49

CIL had more features but Jotcast less likely to screw up

Matt

1:49

Did you know that, contrary to popular belief, the Greek Gods were among the worst entities in history at holding their breath?

Dan Szymborski

1:49

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LIE

Foonoo

1:49

Do you find the use of the possessive in reference to teams annoying? E.g. "My Mice have been clobbering the crap out of people, but their apologies have been far from succinct. Should we trade for a top tier apologist?"

Dan Szymborski

1:49

Mildly. I'm used to it by now.

1:50

People do tie themselves up with the fortunes of their team in a way in which they feel part of it, so I try not to be a jerk about it, even if it annoys me

rustydude

1:50

As a self declared "fat guy", do you operate under the principle that you can and will lose weight any time whenever you get serious about it?

Dan Szymborski

1:50

Yeah, but I've tested that. It's scary how much weight I instantly lose if I lay off beer. Unfortunately, I really like beer.

Matt

1:50

Dan, Mercutio is a person's in Romeo and Juliet.

Dan Szymborski

1:50

But a historical person!
