Certainly didn't expect the second half to be worse than the first half. :mad:
For some reason, I have no desire to go read the main board. It must be melting down. :mad::mad:

SHPaM = screaming howler panic monkeys, IIRC. I, too, have been avoiding the EK board.
Man, that was an ugly game. I think the loss is my fault. I watched lived rather than recording and watching later. Did the same thing against Michigan and Wake. I should know better!
This is funny. The in-game thread has over 10,000 hits. The board was going bananas last night. It was comical just to keep up.
Watched it live. Right now my best analogy is the Arizona Cardinals getting whupped by the Pats in the snow. That's what happened to us...
What a crazy year in the ACC so far.
This is awesome! :D

Oy. It was definitely a two-martini sort of day. Am I the only one who drinks a real (i.e. Gin) martini anymore? I like mine a little dirty = extra olive juice. I may need one more as a nightcap.
Do you put vermouth in with your vodka+twist?
Feel like venting and can't think of a better place. There is somebody new on my 'rhymes with witch' list. It's a theater person so the rest of you don't have to worry.
To make the story as short as possible. I'm helping with a local play festival event in March. I read all the submissions. Rated them as carefully as possible according to the system designed by the person in charge. Made her deadline. Compared ratings with the other reader. Worked out a complete list of preference. Was completely ignored. I'm still involved as I said I would direct 2 of the pieces but I won't be helping this person out again.
Thought #1 - this woman does not stand a chance. :D
Though #2 - Fish80 and his harem. ;)
Thanks DBR Babes (and Fish). I feel much better. Cyber kicking felt really good.
I just hate wasting my time. And I fear the event will be really boring as a result of the selections. Luckily, none of you have to com see it!
Sorry I missed the shin-kicking, but I am with you in spirit.
Belatedly joining the party, but I'm in as well. Shin-kickin' vibes from St. Louis! :D
I can kick up a storm! Especially if it is of help to the DBR people.
Hold the phone! What did I miss, I thought this was just a good old fashioned shin kicking! :D
I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know or always recall the gender of all posters. Although in this particular instance I kind of knew I was jumping in the middle of sisterhood. Is it okay for a dude to kick a dudette in the shins if it's in support of a gang of dudettes (or is that a gaggle)? :o
Did we ever do a gender thread, like the profession thread?
Mother of all stimuli!

If you are reading this you should ask yourself the question, "Shouldn't I be watching the game?"
You know you're a PW if:
You post during commercial breaks
Apparently, the sky is falling.
Devildeac - are games like this one good for your business?
Not surprising there has been a gap in the posting. All the PW's are at Devildeac's house! See the picture of us in the Status Check thread! :D:D:D:D
Adding a requisite PW from devildeac's.
As mentioned in the Part Deux thread, the eagle has landed. And the eagle is now PWing from the DevilDeac's house. :D
See pic in the Status Check thread. Heh heh. :)
I will be returning to LA tomorrow. :(
Need one more sentence for an emoticon. ;)
Man, what happened to this thread? Haha, I guess even PW's have to take a break.
I bought 4 tickets to Duke at BC on StubHub yesterday so I'm going to the game next Sunday!!!!! (They weren't that expensive. Wonder what gives? Maybe it's BC's less than stellar season, but c'mon, it's Duke!)
I've thought about going to the game...some friends from B-school who went to BC may come up for it. But I would put the odds at less than 50-50.
My italian team NGC Cantù just won an important away game versus Avellino... let's go Cantù!
I looked at condos this afternoon and found another cool one - very large, all original hardwood floors, a fairly recently remodeled kitchen. Lots of charm and in a very quiet area. It's currently priced at $15K under what the owners paid when they bought it. It's not quite as nice as the one I really liked last week, but it's cheaper and in a better neighborhood. And it's bigger. Could be a very good investment. The furnace was VERY loud, though. I'd be on the same street as Throaty - is that a plus or minus? :rolleyes: ;)
First, the furnace. Find out why it's loud and have them fix it, or replace it, BEFORE you buy the condo.
Living on the same street as Throaty? Well, it depends on whether or not you were an English major... :eek: And it would help to become an expert on the HPR codes :D
Good advice, Ozzie. Thanks! I hadn't even thought about the furnace needing repair. That would be something to find out. The condo has been on the market since May, which means the owners are very ready to sell. My realtor told me that the husband had accepted a job elsewhere so they bought a new house and moved. The husband was recently laid off from the new job. So, basically, I could probably get a really good deal. As an aside, the condo is bigger than both of the houses I have owned!
I wasn't an English major (chemistry, actually), but my just-for-fun classes in college were literature and foreign languages. I love the HPR, but the only code I remember well is 9F! :D
I'm home. And sad. :(
This is your 5 hour and 14 minutes without a post reminder.
Closing is in 48 hours. Have a tentative appointment with an electrician to come by this Saturday to look at some things I'd like taken care of, then set up a time for him to do said things. Next Saturday am hoping to paint, and, as Devildeac mentioned, moving in on 2/28. Wow, this is going to be a whirlwind month.
It's official, I'm going to the game Wednesday night.
LET'S GO DUKE!!!!

We've got rain! :):):):)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, OH MY! I don't know if you've read this whole thread. (Color me super impressed if you have.) My love of George Clooney has been discussed here before. Isn't that the lake where the Eric Rohmer movie 'Claire's Knees' was filmed?
Can I come visit? ;)
And after that last post I feel compelled to mention that it's the hubby's birthday today.
Mr. BostonDevil, I like that. ;)
No big plans, he's not really that into his own birthday. I had to remind him this morning that it was, in fact, his birthday. We may take the kids out to dinner somewhere family friendly tonight. I didn't get him a bottle of scotch either because, well, quite frankly, he doesn't need any at the moment. I should get him a couple of cigars on the way home tonight though. (And I do have him an actual present already.)
Happy Birthday, Mr. BD!
(And hijacking my own post, Tilly, you're out of the will.)
The loan was just approved. Woo hoo!!!! I can finally breathe and relax knowing I'm getting my house. :D:D:D:D
Ozzie, I'm doing a full-fledged GGLC dance!!!
Buy a house Wednesday morning, celebrate carolina going to hell Wednesday night. Wednesday is going to be a perfect day!!!!

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!! Congrats!!
May your Wednesday go perfectly!:)
Just checking in - I'm still at work. :mad:
On the bright side, we get ESPN 360 at work. :)
LGD!:D
GTH, C, GTH:D
I'm home but not really in the mood to PW...
You had to say something, didn't you? :eek:
If I didn't have a very strong rooting interest in the game, I would have turned it off by the 10 minute mark. UGLY isn't a strong enough word for this game, and to let carolina climb back into it and only trail by 2 at the half is ridiculous. Offense? We ain't got no stinkin' offense!
WHALE ON THE BEACH,, and no, it's not a person..
Down here on the coast ( Oak Island, NC ) last night, a 30 foot humpback whale washed ashore. It had already died when it washed ashore.. If you've never seen a whale, it is one of God's magnificant wonders.. sad to see one washed ashore..
Back to Basketball
GTH C GTH
Congrats Tilly! Can't wait to see it the next time I'm in Durham!
One problem with Facebook, since I'm from Durham originally, and some of my high school friends are getting in touch with me again, well, you know, some of them root for the wrong color blue.
A week of computer troubles left me way behind on my LTE lurking/occasional posting but I am happy to report I am all caught up.
I also have every piece of Duke clothing I own cleaned and ready to go for Wednesday. Now the question becomes what to wear
Here's some pics from Part Deux. It's a private album, so friend me or I can make it public... either way is fine... just let me know. (Ahem, DD. :rolleyes: There's some good ones of you in there.)
Well, I've had the bacon explosion already. Oh and I've had Fried Mars Bars and Twinkies, Chicago Deep Dish, Snickers Pie, Apple Pie Topped with Cheddar, and Fried Mac n Cheese.
I suppose I'd want to try these next (in order):
1. Mega Pizza
2. Bacon Tacos
3. Deep Fried Cheese-Stuffed Ground Bacon Burger
4. French Fry-Encased Hot Dog on a Stick
5. Bacon donut.
6. Anything with Baconnaise.
Anyone here have a good Garbage Plate story/photo?
No one has posted in over an hour, but this is still the longest thread in these here parts.
Please, allow me.
Gratuituous post here. Thank you. Tip your wait staff.
Well personally, I was out of the office for a week... now I'm back and playing catch up.
Plus covering for one of my staff who is on vacation this week.
Plus covering/scrambling to deal with another co-worker's responsibilities as her mom passed away and now said co-worker is out of the office too.
I'm a bit busy. :(:eek::o
Bostondevil is an idiot. Details later. When I stop being mad at myself.
random musing...
Have you ever wondered what the color green smells like?
A post for my new avatar.
There was an... outdoors show in the convention center that we were in... oh the possibilities.
There's a condition called synesthesia where people who have it join one sensory input to another - so certain sounds trigger colors, or a taste triggers a visual understanding.
Maybe there's a color-to-smell synesthete in the house? :)
I made a mistake. I set a water bowl for my cats on the counter located right above the carpet. My boy cat saw it and knocked the nearly full bowl over on the carpet.
My mistake? I still haven't bought my Shamwow yet...
OK, here's what I did. I went to Craigslist and searched on Duke Boston College Basketball. I clicked on a link that said Duke BC tickets from $1. Yeah right but I was surprised that I could get 4 tickets for $35 a piece. So I bought them. They were for the Clemson game last night. I guess the link took me to all BC basketball games, not just Duke. I never even noticed. I didn't realize my mistake until 8:30pm last night when the folks at StubHub called to find out if I was going to come pick up the tickets. Uh, no. I'm going to call customer service today but I'm not optimistic. Last time I buy tickets from StubHub but still, I should have realized something was up with the ticket price. I'm not going to the game after all. The cheapest tickets were $130 a piece and on top of the $180 I'll probably have to eat, can't afford it. (Handling fees, so they were really $45 a piece)
Has Tilly closed on her house yet?:)
Where do we send Shamwows?:D
That is indeed unfortunate. :(
Just let me know who's shins to kick. :D
I joined the self-realized-idiot's club last month. I wanted to watch a MBB game that wasn't televised in CT. So I signed up for Inside Access. Then later realized it was audio only for MBB. :o

Congrats Tilly!
Yay Tilly!! Can't wait for the first party : )
Congrats Tilly!
And in shin kicking news, I did get StubHub to refund the $15 pickup fee. Oh well, it's something.
[QUOTE=TillyGalore;256937]It is done!! I am a home owner, and have the keys. :D:D:D:D ... [QUOTE]
Congratulations Tilly!!!! I'm soo happy for you!!!
Congrats on the house Tilly! When are we going to see the 88 out back?
Hmm...9 PM on a Wednesday night. Where is everybody?
Missed a few minutes of the game. Silly me was expecting to see the game on ESPN HD. No game there...didn't think to check the standard definition broadcast because quite frankly I don't go down to that end of the dial. Finally figured it out after much cursing.
This stinks.
:-(

Bummer. Bummer. Bummer.
FB schedule is out. :( See my post in the thread.
Sorry Sue, we'll miss you. Sorta got used to having you around recently, you've been here so often! I'm looking forward to Excellent Adventure Round Deux, Part 1 next bball season! :D
DiK, don't let Sue's absence prevent you from venturing east. Brunchgates will be going strong. And let me know how many Kansas tickets you'll want for our game there (via PM).
The thread wasn't up long, but 30 minutes ago EarlJam posted a farewell thread. Seems as though he got tired of always being moderated, well, those he felt were unjustified (although many certainly were justified). Getting infracted (is that a word?) and sometimes banned also upset him. ;) He asked that those that email with him to continue doing so.
