Hi! Iβm trying to make a Latin American dish called the quimbolito that I discovered in Ecuador. Does anyone know if any chain grocery stores in the US carry achira leaves?
Just returned from my twentieth ni-gun game of the season, and while I usually don't post, since my area is mostly up and coming players in the Japanese minors, I thought people on this subreddit might be interested in a few details of the Chunichi/Orix ni-gun game this afternoon:
First of all, if you are a Orix fan--Yamada Nobuyoshi is the real deal. I watched his bullpen session before the game to check his pitches. According to the best reports I have, he throws a four-seam fastball (that moves like a cutter), a change-up and slider. Before the game, a few Chunichi batters informed me that they were told to look slider in pitcher's counts. The problem is, as I explained to them after seeing Yamada's bullpen, he throws two types of sliders, and based on what I can see--one comes from over the top and cuts 12 to 6 (but faster than a curveball) and the other from a more slanted arm angle, sweeping across the plate and hitting the outside corner on a left-handed batter. Apparently, the Chunichi batters didn't know this. During his bullpen session, Yamada was hitting all his spots and locating in the zone, so I told the Chunichi batters to watch his arm angles and release points to differentiate the sliders. Gakki (Ishigaki) and Uregelles (new ikusei player from Cuba) seemed happy to get this information. But no one could hit Yamada for six innings, in part because he waited on working his curveball into the mix until the second time through the lineup. If Yamada can get a bit more ride on his four seam (maxed out at 140 km today) and command his change up earlier in the game, I see no problem with this kid translating his skills to the Pacific League. A very talented and cerebral pitcher. Impressed to say the least.
Remarkably, though, Yamada was out pitched by my man, Achira, who I have written about before on this sub-reddit. Achira went the the distance in this game, a true rarity under Ogasawara-kantoku, who tries to get everyone their innings. Achira was that dominant. According to my in-game notes, Achira got 22 swinging strikes in nine innings, 13 on his curveball. Both are career highs. More impressive for me was that Achira, as he has been making the transition from reliever to starter, has learned to translate late-count curveballs to flies and pop-ups. In this game, he got 4 pop-up put-outs on his curveball--another career high. Lastly, although it is a minor point, I was very impressed by his efforts to work up in the zone with his four-sea

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
BamBOO!
Theyβre on standbi
But thatβs comparing apples to oranges
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?

So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
