I have pre-made Negronis in the freezer

On more casual days I go for the simpler MrsFinch, which is a Klonopin chased with a beer.

OMG I NEED THIS IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW

They’re calling it “brooch warfare”.

We also make excellent beer (though that’s generally not the stuff they sell at the ballpark...)

I thought that at first (and considered it grade-A trolling) but it shows up on different sites if you google “kelly gruber xanthos”. My theory is that Kelly Gruber himself is putting it about because he thinks being called Xanthos was cool.

I have been justly corrected, the first Mrs Gruber was an Argonaut cheerleader. But the Jays do have some form of cheer squad:

I am stumped, myself.

It most certainly wasn’t the Toronto Sun or Steve Simmons.

Even when he was a Blue Jay Kelly Gruber wasn’t famous for his smarts.

I think he married a Blue Jays cheerleader ...…

That was oh so gratifying to watch. “You beat on my snout? I beat on your snout! How you like it?”

I can’t express how desperately I want to wear that costume and stalk around the office.

OMG SEUNGRI *jumps up and down while clapping hands*

I believe yes, Oprah was wearing Stella.

I believe yes, Oprah was wearing Stella.

Lady Louise looks adorable in that adorable hat. I forgot she’s 15 now.

I went for the realistic:

The real collector’s items are the Edward VIII ones, since his reign was so short and ended with such a big oopsie. I keep an eye out but people know when they have the good stuff; all I’ve been able to score lately is a toffee tin featuring “King Edward VIII”.
