Not in the majors. Had a solid debut as a Braves pitcher, but was traded to the Angels and never was able to duplicate his early success.

my co-worker, who typically comes to my desk with the most obvious questions (that's I've answered previously) or inane thoughts to share- often lunch related- came over and interrupted me around lunchtime today as I was talking with our studio head about something pressing.
chewing food and pointing to his mouth as if to say- now this... this is amazing (that's the kind of thing he could do). I tell him as I often do- let me finish this and I'll get to you in a minute.
he starts getting angry and gulping/clearing his throat- pointing more dramatically at his mouth. I look at him
... oh! ... you're choking? yes? choking? no answer- starts scraping in his own mouth and as I get up and start pounding on his back with a move to the heimlich imminent, he pulls away- with his fingers- whatever he was choking on.
hasn't spoken to me since- aside from chastising me to for telling him to come back later.
first off- PSA- I'm the last guy you want to save your life in an emergency.
second... pretty sure pointing to your mouth while you chew food is not the universal choking sign.

Making up grape names is the worst thing California has done other than electing Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I did this about six times today to various office mates:
[stands at cubicle/office entrance, staring intently]
Hey man, what's up
"It's Veterans Day tomorrow.
Don't forget to thank me.
FOR YOUR FREEDOM."
[walks away]

Calling pinot grigio "pinot gris" is pretty much the same thing as calling Denali Mount McKinley.

Yes. This is what we call a "teachable moment". Tell Chokey "I didn't think you were seeing me for important, and certainly not life-or-death, because 99% of the time you're bugging me about stupid crap."please see point #1.It kind of is.my co-worker, who typically comes to my desk with the most obvious questions (that's I've answered previously) or inane thoughts to share- often lunch related- came over and interrupted me around lunchtime today as I was talking with our studio head about something pressing.

I meant point #1 being I shoudln't be the go-to guy in life and death situations.
and I really want the teachable moment to be the hands to throat thing as what I thought was the universal "i'm choking" sign... I wanted to correct him in the moment- "wait... you're choking? you should really be doing this {hands to throat}... I don't even know what you're doing there.... anybody else agree?"

Update
The city of Austin came to the realization that not issuing building permits to flood victims was probably a bad idea.
So, other than four days of strife, grief and paranoia over the permits, life is back to the standard strife, grief and paranoia of trying to rebuild my home after a river runs through it.

I was talking to the #2 muckity muck in the permit office after the meeting and he was telling me that he could personally waive the code on a case by case basis. So i told him, I'd really like to fix him a nice dinner. He got all "integrity is paramount yada yada, " and i told him not to worry about it, that being a smart ### was what was important to me. He almost smiled.

Just unclogged a pipe that has been clogged for about 4 days. I want to meet the jagoff who designed the plumbing for this place and jam a pipe wrench up his ###.

So I was planning to go to Hawaii next year. Instead I will be the proud owner of a new HVAC since mine has to be put down. Looking forward to 2017 Hawaii trip barring another costly disappointment. 2 long weekend trips are the plan. Either hiking in Sedona or outside of Vegas (Death Valley) in the Spring and Vermont/Philly in the Fall. I want to scare Mrs. Osaurus by showing her where I grew up in the cesspool known as far NE Philly.
