PrintThis might be nothing new for some (most?) but I just realized that I don't know where the term "hot stove" comes from. Thankfully we have Wikipedia:
The term calls up images of baseball fans, anxious for the start of the new season, gathering around a hot stove during the cold winter months discussing their favorite baseball teams.

Off topic,
but I’m hoping that this way of posing for photographs comes in vogue again. I’ve had enough of the fake smiles and kissy faces, bring back indifference, irritation and sincerity.
the number one issue facing the Mets is finding that one guy who’s going to say "get on my shoulders and ride me to the championship."

I think you should avoid MTV's new gem "Jersey Shore"

I think he should avoid MTV, period.
And by ‘he’, I mean ‘everybody’. And don’t get me started on VH1. I’m pretty sure that channel can actually give you herpes if you watch it.

At work, my mom used to surf their website, back when they first started all of the reality shows and whatever else.
Ironically, her computer got a virus. So, given that fact, I am fully sure that watching VH1 will indeed give you herpes.

I think you may have to introduce digital cameras that take 5 minutes to snap a picture

They say smile
Sometimes I don’t want to smile. I’m indifferent, let me look indifferent.

I always thought "Hot Stove" implied something was cooking
And that when it was ready to eat—that was the start of the baseball season.
Same here.
The “baseball season” was ‘warming up’, was ‘cooking’ in Nov-Feb, and would be ready to ‘eat’ in March/April.
