I'll start us off by mentioning that yesterday Duke won by a gazillion against a team that nearly knocked off Michigan State while the Heels got schooled by Texas. The Heels are 2-3 against the Top 20 so far this year. Hmmm.
Go Duke!

As much as I enjoy a Heels loss, the youth of their team may portend better things for them. What they lack is good guard play...
Mini-trip later this week. Turn in keys at work on 12/30. Movers here 1/4. Move in LV 1/6 or 1/7. Start new job 1/12. :)Quote:

And if I may say, USC beat the snot out of Tennessee yesterday. :) What a difference a point guard makes. Heh. 22 different ways to be happy...
And ODU beat Georgetown at GT. Heh heh. :D
I can see why you'd be ticked. That's just not a cool thing to do. I'll be darned if I'd go out of my way to reschedule with her.Quote:

Edit - I was wrong on the QB - had another person attached to the name. oops!Quote:

Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas. We had a Christmas blizzard here. It was spitting ice pellets as I headed to church around 4pm. It was snowing by the start of the 5pm service. The 8pm and 11pm were cancelled. It is still snowing. I have a 3.5 foot drift on my front walk. And even better - my nephews shoveled my drive and my neighbors' walk too. It is still lightly snowing.Quote:

How's the weather in the Twin Cities? My family from St. Paul finally made it home yesterday - after seeing lots of cars off the road, they stopped 100 miles from home and spent the night.Quote:

It is snowing - again.
They predict that the high temperature tomorrow will be 9F. :D

The Pats laid an egg. So did the Bungles. Anyone want an omelet?
You can use yesterday's Iggles egg and make a 3 egg omelet. I'd like cheese and ham with mine, please, and some toast and hash browns on the side.:rolleyes::DQuote:

You know the commercial when the ref looks into the replay viewer but he's talking with patrons in a sports bar, and they say their not ready to go, can they go into overtime? Well, when Arizona was about to kick the winning field goal with 9 seconds left in regulation, I thought of that and said to myself "self, I'm not ready for this game to end, can he pull the FG attempt wide?"
Am I good or what!?! :D:cool:

Welcome, duke4life bunchofnumbers. It seems like we've been getting several newbies here recently. I've been busy falling off the radar. Although I still manage to get my nether regions handed to me by Shamm and wilson in Scrabble on a regular basis. I've got too much theater stuff going on lately and I still have a dream of getting caught up on my Lost thread before next Tuesday. Wish me luck.
Good Luck with both the Lost thread and the theater stuff :)
BD, we've already got one bunchofnumbers. :D Please don't go giving the name out to others willy-nilly. It'll get mighty confusing, especially to BON's. :eek:Quote:

This is a good opportunity to give some props to Bostondevil for that humongous thread on Lost since season one. I printed it out for Mrs. Jarhead who hates to read stuff on the computer screen. Quite a chore, just printing it out, and she has finished reading it. That was much more of a chore, but she is now telling me things I didn't know about Lost. I've been demoted, and now she won't let me have the remote when we are watching lost. Anyhow, thanks for doing that thread, Bd. Jason Evans should give you an award for a job well done.
Just saw this thread and wanted to add my "two cents" which are really nothing more than that I truly do not like Carolina...scratch that I effin HATE everything that the school, sports teams, and alumnus represent.Quote:
