My wife likes the Avast voice though.

Maybe you should program it to say other things to her

Or get a yourself an Avast voicebox.

We would just get it to say curse words

I also used to insult my brothers using Encarta pronunciation guides.

Nice DP induced by Olsen, followed up by a crap play by Dunn.

Ha! I usually unplug those

I was going to post "looks like you're using XP" along with an eye of Sauron pic, but imgur timed out on me

Yes it's XP and it's a work computer, not much I can do about unplugging things

I used to SSH into the family room iMac when my family first got one a few years ago. I would use the "say" command and freak them out.

Code: [Select]

say "what the freak do you think you're doing! Don't click that!"

My sister just slowly backed away and walked upstairs without mentioning a word.

Check the terms of use. We are severely straining them as is. They delete the files after 5 minutes and ask that you don't distribute them.

Good day for Olsen, terrible day for Dunn. Another boner.

Ehhhh. Olsen has given up six hits in two innings. That's shaky.

Ah bloop then a DP, terrible play by the 1st baseman, take away 2 of those hits, and the other was erased by the DP.

Four in two innings, six in three. Plus a run. More importantly, Zuck says his fastball's velocity is now consistently at around 88.

Listening to the Tigers announcers on XM....

1 was a bunt that Olsen fielded cleanly, but nobody covered first. This runner later scored the run in the third inning.

1 was a popup that Bernadina missplayed into a single

1 was a liner that Dunn botched catching

The other 3 were legit hits.
