I'm too smart for this job.

I'll take it

(can ya guess I'm trying to get up the nerve to go out and find work everyone?) :MandJ: :MandJ:

[Puffy]

And isn't that just the perfect 5,000th post for this thread??

I applaud myself!

[KronoRed]

Online training is so bunk. I really enjoy having to wait 3-4 minutes between page refreshs so I can read another sentence chock-full of invigorating information, such as: "To export this form to Excel, choose "Export" from the File Menu. The File Menu is located at the upper left hand corner of your window. Try it now!"

Please save me.

That sounds familer....

Eh, you'll be fine, I'm sure. If my mother's fourth husband can find gainful employment, anyone can.

If not, you can always try out for Survivor or something.

[Roy Tucker]

I'd guess Illinois.

[Red Leader]

Nope, not Minnesota, but this state thats part of the Big 12 needs ditch diggers too

I'd rather be a bum then go on Survivor :help:

That is the perfect post for any thread, at any time.

Speaking of "at any time," when we carpooled in to work this morning the first person to be dropped off was XXXXXXX, who manages a Chipotle restaurant here in town. He told us to wait in the parking lot for a moment while he disabled the security system, and then came back out with three frosty bottles of Negra Modelo for us. At 8 in the morning. On our way to work.

He looked a little baffled when we put the drinkage in the trunk. :ipoke:

[Puffy]

Nebraska

Did you know that - or was it the Big 12 hint? Cause you are absolutely correct. Danny Noonan mentions it to Ty Webb the first time we see Ty, right before the blind-folded wedge shot to the green

[KronoRed]

He just wanted you to have a nice day ;)

YAY, Team Casey, well done, your first Mental Midget Award. One of my favorite cartoons of all time. I still laugh out loud everytime I hear Muttley laugh in that show.

[Puffy]

Football - Brians Song

Soccer - Victory



Good call - I forgot soccer and Victory

[TeamCasey]

People tell me I laugh like Muttley.

(smoker)

[Roy Tucker]

Racing - Gumball Rally
This was based on a real race, the Brock Yates "Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash". Highly illegal but a lot of fun.

With a couple friends, we did a downsized Columbus to Dayton version of this back in the day with v1.0 versions of Fuzzbusters and lookouts. It's actually very hard to drive fast on the interstate.

[westofyou]

It's actually very hard to drive fast on the interstate.

I did 125 from the Norwood Lateral to the WHT Exit on 71 in a 73 Cougar with a 351.

[RFS62]

Yup, it is WOY - he was a developer/construction company owner.

Good job WOY, congrats on your second STK - catching up to RL.

For extra credit, and this is almost unknowable because it is only mentioned once and only in passing, but does anyone know what state Bushwood Country Club is in?

That was going to be a STK question but I just thought it was too hard


The course used in filming was Rolling Hills in Florida. I've played it.

[Puffy]

I knew that. However it was filmed in Florida.


I am extremely impressed.

I did not know it was filmed in Florida. I just found out Jaws 2 was filmed partly in Pensacola, which is cool, nice little city Pensacola is

[Red Leader]

I'm outta here for the day, folks. See everyone tomorrow. Have a great day, and Krono, good luck with the job search.

Tell Mrs.RL hi for us :D

Have a good one

[Puffy]

I'm thinking Italian sub for lunch. See, I already know I'm throwing some chicken on the grill tonight (it is marinating as we speak) so I think a sandwich is the way to go for lunch. I had RB friday but RB is always good, aaarrggghhh, decisions, decisions

[KronoRed]

The sub sounds good

I was gonna have tacos but I'm thinking maybe some steak fajitas would be nice too

[Puffy]

Oh, see, you mention steak, which leads me further down the RB road. I need to ponder this decision a little more

[KronoRed]

Flip a coin

[zombie-a-go-go]

I'm having another training session for lunch. :thumbup:

[Puffy]

Some actors who were considered for the part of Chief Brody in Jaws - Jeff Bridges, Jan Michael Vincent.

The first choice to play Quint was Lee Marvin, but he turned the part down because he did not want to work with an unknown, rookie director (Spielberg had only done TV and one small budget movie at that time)

[westofyou]

Impressive

What year was this?

1980, maybe 79?

Perhaps I was on my way to the Lighthouse Limited or Tomorrows.

[westofyou]

one small budget movie at that time

"Duel" starring Dennis Weaver

[Puffy]

"Duel" starring Dennis Weaver

Actually no - Duel was a made for TV movie. The small budget movie he did was The Sugarland Express, which had a movie release, etc.

He had been doing TV movies and directing TV shows (like Marcus Welby, MD), but Sugarland Express was his first motion picture, Jaws was his second

Did you see that documentary on Jaws this weekend?

[Puffy]

Did you see that documentary on Jaws this weekend?

Yup - the E True Hollywood Story. I love those things.

[westofyou]

Yup - the E True Hollywood Story. I love those things.

So does my wife, personally E is the bane of my existence, that and the VH1 bios.

It's a running battle in this house, I can't stand the thought of knowing the particulars of George Michael or Vince Neil's lives.

Currently I'm anti celebrity, I hope they all have nice lives and all that but I could care less.

I guess I'm event driven whilst Mrs WOY is people driven.

[RFS62]

Any groundhogs? ;)


Uh, I believe you mean Gophers, laddie.

[RosieRed]

The RosieRed 5 in a row trophy will be presented when Rosie wakes up :)

:lol:

I'm here, but I'm kind of afraid to see this trophy. ;)

[jmcclain19]

A poll over at another website got me thinking.

If you were an olympic athlete, what would be your event?

Mine would most definitely be the shot put/hammer throw. I just love the field part of track and field.

Also rowing, huge rowing fan.

If I was a winter olympian, I would be a speed skater. Love watching those guys and gals fly on the ice.

[RosieRed]

Hey Rosie, since Krono is leaving your job to be creek's assistant :luvu: , I figured that I'm next in line and am due a promotion, what'd ya think?

I think you might be onto something! Hmm ...

[jmcclain19]

Ugh, I hate VH1 True Hollywood story.

However, the true bane of my existance is the HGTV channel.

Since every other night is my better half's TV night, that's what I get. That means I'm reading on the porch, or putting on the living room carpet.

[TeamCasey]

If I were an Olympian, I'd like to do rowing.



If I were a winter Olympian, I'd win the gold in falling.

Can you just sit in the bobsled with your eyes shut tight and pray you reach the bottom ........ or do you actually have to do something?

[RFS62]

I'm into javelin catching.

[Chip R]

Can you just sit in the bobsled with your eyes shut tight and pray you reach the bottom ........ or do you actually have to do something?
In the 4 man bobsled all you really have to do is push at the beginning if you are one of the two middle people. In the two man, one's the driver the other runs the brakes.

[jmcclain19]

In the 4 man bobsled all you really have to do is push at the beginning if you are one of the two middle people. In the two man, one's the driver the other runs the brakes.

That's why they always get the football types, only job is to push and get in the darn thing swiftly.

*pictures self being dragged down the chute behind the sled, screaming holy &%$&!*

[westofyou]

Winter - Biathlon - Because the world can never have enough people who can ski and shoot a rifle at the same time.

Summer - Boxing - because a blow to the head can only do you good in the long run.

[creek14]

If I were in the Olympics I would run the 400. And I would anchor the 4x4 and come from behind to win the Gold for the US. Then I would put on my Reds cap after the national anthem and Adam would see me and say "hey, I have to meet that woman", and the rest, as they say, would be history.

Not that I have given it any thought or anything. :o

[KronoRed]

I'm having another training session for lunch. :thumbup:

Sounds like a blast

I'm having pizza Meijer failed to have the proper ingredients for steak fajitas

[KronoRed]

Uh, I believe you mean Gophers, laddie.

My mistake :D

[KronoRed]

I think you might be onto something! Hmm ...

Hey now! I've got a contract and I haven't quit yet ;)

[KronoRed]

I'd do the walking in the summer..winter I'd fall flat on my face in any sport :thumbup:

[KronoRed]

:lol:

I'm here, but I'm kind of afraid to see this trophy. ;)

Have no fear...

It's very well done :thumbup:

[Chip R]

Well done, Krono! :thumbup:

[creek14]

Krono, aren't you supposed to be at the temp place about now? Hmmmmmmm?

[zombie-a-go-go]

Krono...

you do need a job. :mhcky21:

[westofyou]

Since the olympics now has beach vollyball (nice outfits :eek: ) what's next

Marco Polo?

Chicken Fights?

Flashlight Tag?

[KronoRed]

Thank you Chip :)


Krono, aren't you supposed to be at the temp place about now? Hmmmmmmm?

Apparently that's now going on tommarow..I have been tasked with doing the laundry while the Mrs goes to the doctor

[KronoRed]

Since the olympics now has beach vollyball (nice outfits :eek: ) what's next

Marco Polo?

Chicken Fights?

Flashlight Tag?

Marco Polo would rock

[zombie-a-go-go]

I'd take bronze in pool-chicken-fighting, no doubt.

[jmcclain19]

Can you imagine the commentary for Marco Polo.

"See John, his form on sounding out the Russians, hunting them down and catching a target is flawless.

No points however, for missing Nikoli Kreshnikov when he slipped out of the pool."

[RosieRed]

Have no fear...

It's very well done :thumbup:

Aww, thanks Krono!! Very well done indeed. :thumbup:

[KronoRed]

Thank you :)

and thanks to AngryAngel from another board who gave me the idea :thumbup:

Beer chugging?

I think this guy might be the favorite:

Fastest keyboard

[KronoRed]

I'll give it up for this one..if this thread lives on ;)

[RosieRed]

Did anyone else see that article the other day about the possibility of making cornhole an Olympic sport?

I guess if they can have curling ...

Sports I think they should consider:
1. Tag
2. Red Rover
3. Dodgeball
4. Kickball
5. Jump rope
6. Hide and seek

[KronoRed]

Red Rover would be awesome!

I can see that in a big stadium :thumbup:

[westofyou]

Things I hate

When Refs call penalties in the final minute on judgement calls (Southampton just got a W over Blackburn on a PK in the 90th minute)

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Celery - I loath celery with a passion most reserve for nazis and the yankees.

[westofyou]

quiz:

musical

who said

Buck Mann on the keyboards...... Buck Mann

[KronoRed]

I dunno

[RosieRed]

I dunno either.

[Roy Tucker]

5. Jump rope
Not that I want it to become a Olympic sport, but if you ever get the chance to see the Kings Firecracker jump rope team, go see them. It's a team of 4th-7th grade kids that do the most unbelievable jumprope stuff you've ever seen.

(Roy who was pretty fair at jumping rope in the day because his HS basketball coach was an ex-boxer and had us jump rope for conditioning and footwork)

[Chip R]

quiz:

musical

who said

Buck Mann on the keyboards...... Buck Mann
Peter Frampton "Do You Feel Like I Do"?

[KronoRed]

I used to be able to jump rope, now I'm afraid I'd pull something trying to :MandJ:

[Super_Barry11]

When I was in the 5th grade, I took a jump rope class at the Y... I had a blast, plus it was great exercise!!

[westofyou]

Peter Frampton "Do You Feel Like I Do"?

Bingo!!

[Puffy]

Today is the aniversary of the very first episode of South Park. With that, tonight at 9:00 Comedy Central will be showing the first episode. The title of tonight's episode is Cartman gets an anal probe.

I'm pumped!

[RosieRed]

I'm going up to visit my parents and my brother tonight. I'm so excited because mom's cooking a huge meal, and I can't wait to stuff myself silly on some good home cooking!

Plus, my brother (who is 13) just got braces, and I can't wait to tease him about them. :evil:

[Super_Barry11]

I've never seen any episodes of South Park!! :o

Thanks, I will! Maybe we'll even watch South Park. (My dad and brother love that show.)

SB, how was your first day of classes?

[airalex]

I've never seen any episodes of South Park!! :o

Don't worry, neither have I. :)

[Puffy]

It is a brilliant show - you guys should give it a try. The movie was awesome as well

[Chip R]

Plus, my brother (who is 13) just got braces, and I can't wait to tease him about them. :evil:Don't tease him too much. He's probably really sensitive about it and the male ego at that age is fragile.

[westofyou]

Don't tease him too much. He's probably really sensitive about it and the male ego at that age is fragile.

But later on it gets as sturdy as a Pinata.

You must have not seen any then. ;)

[Unassisted]

Be sure to let us know when they do the "very special" episode of South Park where no one speaks in falsetto. Then I'll watch. ;)

I do dig Crank Yankers, though. :MandJ:

Allright! just what we need ;)

[Roy Tucker]

I've seen a bunch (friend used to watch it) just not my cup of funny
I had a kid that worked for me that would come in every week telling me how hilarious the show was. Like, quote the show verbatim, tell me about all the characters, plot details, blah blah.

I finally watched it one week and thought I was watching a different show. I just didn't get it and thought it completely stupid. I chalked it up to an age thing. I figured there were things at 25 that I thought stupendously hilarious that I watch now and think "it must have been the drugs".

But then, I never got the Grateful Dead either.

[westofyou]

But then, I never got the Grateful Dead either.

I did.

[Unassisted]

Krono, I am close to the royal flush. At this moment, I've got the last post in 4 forums here. :RedinDC:

[Roy Tucker]

I did.
I tried hard. Listened to them sober and under a variety of substances. Got to the point where I thought they were pretty OK and liked some of the songs. Have few Dead albums and a couple NRPS ones as well.

But I had some Dead head friends where it was a religious experience and their entire existence was oriented around the Dead, what Jerry was thinking about as he played a guitar solo, the cosmic ramifications thereof, and where to score dope from next. I finally just moved on to a different circle of friends. Different strokes was all it was.

[airalex]

Different strokes was all it was.

Whatchu talking about?

[westofyou]

what Jerry was thinking about as he played a guitar solo, the cosmic ramifications thereof,

Ahh yes, I know(knew) lots of people like that, I was a big ole deadhead in the 80's, early 90's actually made thousands of dollars in school selling t-shirts to stores, on tour ect.

Never left the planet though.

Got to meet the band during a film shoot in 92.

Jerry by far was the coolest and the only one to talk to me.

Kinda made it all worthwhile, and also made it easy to walk away from it too.

[creek14]

Gesh I just go to the eye doc and come back with over 80 posts to read to catch up.

[Unassisted]

Really ;)

:DJust got back from the photos forum. I figured you'd take the bait. :lol: It's tough to do that during the daylight hours. With your schedule, I imagine you could rack up a royal flush at 3 AM just about any day of the week.

[KronoRed]

Gesh I just go to the eye doc and come back with over 80 posts to read to catch up.

I'm sorry creek, but! half of em are mine so they're short :D

If I joined fantasy something I could do a clean sweep :D

[creek14]

Eyes ok? :)
Yeah, thanks for asking. I had cararact surgery last summer. Yes, I am old, but not old enough for cataracts. Aren't I the lucky one. Anyway, the lens they implanted needed a little clean up work so I had that done last Monday and today was a follow up.

I will be anxiously awaiting word of your trip to the temp place tomorrow. :thumbup:

You know if you get a CDL you can get a job just about anywhere.

Not that it has much of a career ladder, but it does paywell and pays the bills.

[Super_Barry11]

SB, how was your first day of classes?

:D It went pretty well!! Much better than I was expecting due to some certain circumstances... Last Saturday, one of our cheerleaders was killed in a car accident, and while he was only a casual acquaintance of mine, he was very close to my best girlfriend here, who is the captain of the cheerleading squad. I spent most of yesterday bringing my friend flowers and being a shoulder for her to cry on, plus mourning quite a bit myself.

I was somewhat reluctant to attend classes today since I thought it would be extra difficult, but it turned out that they served as a nice distraction. It was a nice touch of a familiar routine, which made me feel better since things are pretty chaotic at the moment otherwise.

My bio class is about cells and proteins, which I find fairly interesting (compared to the evolution class I took last semester- EWWW!!). It'll be a good challenge, but then, to me, all classes here are challenging, especially the science ones!

Physics is going to be interesting... I loved physics in HS, but this is going to be a completely different universe, I'm sure. Oh and here's a shocker- I can barely understand the foreign prof... :MandJ:

Creative writing could be very, very bad for me... The instructor is, well, comprised of every single stereotype that deals with the English and Language Arts department. I'm a very concrete, precise thinker, so I really hope he's not going to be too tough on the grading. He almost drove me INSANE today with his sloppy handwriting and meaningless scribbles on the board (yes, I am THAT obsessive-compulsive :p: ). If you're going to use the blackboard, USE IT FOR A PURPOSE AND COMMUNICATE SOMETHING CLEARLY!!! We had write sentences, stand up, and say them to the class without using any consonants... WHAT?!?!?! My sentence was (of course)- "And this one belongs to the Reds." :thumbup:

Social psychology was pretty much what I expected- interesting, but not as meaningful to me as the other sciences. We spent 45 minutes taking a survey about love. Such as- True or false: Opposites attract. I said true, and that turned out to be correct... Woohoo!! :D

I've gotta go eat some yummy dining hall food with my girls... Oh well, it's great to be back in the swing of things at least!! Hope I didn't bore you all too much with my in-depth analysis!! ;)

And I for one, would like to also lament that this thread has yet to revert to it's roots, namely, Haikus.

Make yourself comfy
Hi Welcome to Krono's thread
Someday it will stop

[jmcclain19]

And we'll continue on the talking to myself thread.

I'm grilling out tonight.

It's a balmy 98 degrees right now, and I'm itching to fire up the grill and eat so I can go hit golf balls when the sun goes down.

Have some lemon pepper chicken on the brain. Think that will be jmcclain19's winner this evening.

[UKFlounder]

Haikus? In this thread?
A wonderful idea.
I think I'll try it.

[Super_Barry11]

That sounds like a good dinner... This is what I ate today- Cocoa Pebbles for breakfast, plain bagel with hummus for lunch, and a salad for dinner. I'm craving some meat right now!! :lol:

[airalex]

But its dry heat right. ;)

Nothing beats hitting golfballs in the evening IMO. :thumbup:

[jmcclain19]

Ever wanted to strangle one of your pets for doing something, then got a look and wimped out?

That was me earlier today. My youngest of three boxers today decided it would be very fun indeed to push open a closet and get into my backpacking stuff, and tore apart my backpacking pillow and ripped a hole in my sleeping bag. My older two apparently thought it was funny and must have cheered her on.

I went outside and she knew I was angry, and she gave me this face, and I just became a big wimp.

I'm a big wuss.

[airalex]

I still go w/ Rice Krispies and sliced Bananas from time to time as well.

I played a links style course last week when, my boss was *ahem* under the impression I had pressing engagements out of the office.

Put up a snowman and 3 double bogeys, not happy about that at all. All deserved, but my goal is to at least putt for par on every hole. That will make me happy.

[jmcclain19]

I remember the cheesy Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercials when I was younger. Right up there with Count Chocula and Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop.

[airalex]

That's about how I feel, except it never works out that way. I'm actually pretty good with the driver, but I'm just way to inconsistent with my irons.

[jmcclain19]

That's about how I feel, except it never works out that way. I'm actually pretty good with the driver, but I'm just way to inconsistent with my irons.

I'm the polar opposite. I can't hit my driver straight to save my life, but I hit my 7 140yds straight as an arrow and so on down to the sand wedge, but I always seem to have one stray putt that I butcher and half a dozen drives that snake out all over the place.

[RFS62]

Cool, golf talk.

What's in your bag, fellows? Golf wise, that is.

And what distances do you hit your clubs?

[airalex]

The reason I'm probably much better with the driver than the irons is I go to the driving range much more than I go golfing. I just love the sound it makes when you hit a perfect shot with the driver.

[jmcclain19]

Cool, golf talk.

What's in your bag, fellows? Golf wise, that is.

And what distances do you hit your clubs?

I'm a Ping guy, I have a friend who's been working for Calloway for 2 years now who's been trying to get me set up w/ a setup of Calloway's but I've been stubborn.

I found a used set of Ping Eye 2's a few years back for dirt cheap and I've been using them ever since. Have a Ping TiSi driver that I can't hit straight to save my life. An Olimar 3 wood that I'm fantastic at hitting straight up in the air every other shot. And an old beat up Titleist sand wedge, my best club that I can nail at 95 yards.

As far as distance, I can hit my 6I 150 yards and slotted every ten on down to the wedges. Any lower numbered clubs and it's litearlly hit or miss.

How about you fellas?

[airalex]

Cool, golf talk.

What's in your bag, fellows? Golf wise, that is.

In the bag I got Clevelend woods and Taylor Made irons (if that's what you're asking :lol: )

Four signs she's high maintenence


Most men have been there. Many won’t admit they’ve been there: involved with a high-maintenance date or girlfriend. You can run from a high-maintenance woman and you can hide, but your best chance of going unharmed is to avoid her all together.

“Once I get a whiff of one, I steer clear,” says Brian, 40, an advertising manager in Omaha. Ross, 43, a consultant in San Francisco, found that he hasn’t attracted one in recent years. “I really don't date high-maintenance chicks as a rule.”

To avoid them, you’ve got to know how to spot them. Consider these tips on spotting the classic high-maintenance woman:

High H.B.A. factor. Rookie observers, remember the H.B.A. acronym (which stands for “Health, Beauty & Accessories”). As in, obsessed with H.B.A. Scan the latest trendy store, restaurant or bar and you’ll spot high-maintenance women easily in their natural habitat. Ground zero for the high-maintenance species are beauty salons, malls and occasionally, the health club. (Yes, female gym rats can be high maintenance, although scientists say it’s a rare occurrence.) Is she dressed to the nines at the grocery store? Is she sporting full-tilt makeup and big hair at the health club when other women are in sweats and no makeup? Look closer and you’ll find what constitutes high-maintenance is as varied as her patchwork quilt or designer bag, her intricately painted toenails or her voracious appetite for beauty treatments.

Emotional insecurity. High maintenance women can be as insecure as a lost toddler. They can freak out if you even so much as give an extended glance at another woman, among other indicators of emotional neediness. Her neediness often requires her to control and direct your behavior.

Controlling. Is she always instructing you to call her or sets rules around things? (Example: “Call me at work tomorrow at 2 p.m.”) Worse yet, she might express anger or manipulate you to get you to do what she wants. A range of ploys such as her demands to call frequently, fix-it items, and transportation needs (“Can you pick me up?”) are all ways to keep you on a short leash or otherwise attempt to control your behavior.

Communications. Guys, if she talks like this, run: “Like, oh my God, I was on the way to the mall and…” (At your own risk, remind her that “Valleyspeak” went out in the 1990s with Frank Zappa.) Pay attention to what she talks about for it’s the critical indicator of what might – or might not be – going on in her brain. Is it all about her, shopping and her friends? Chances are you have a high-maintenance girl on your hands. I say “girl” because rarely are mature women really that high maintenance. If they are, they may be limited to the divorcée set, who brandish fake dark tans, fake body parts, overprocessed hair and enough bling-bling to make you squint.

And, if you still have doubts, consider these stories:

Look in the mirror. Make absolutely certain that you’re not the one crying foul. Could you be high maintenance yourself? Consider the case of Michelle, now 42, who a decade ago broke up with a serious boyfriend, Jeremy. They had dated a year and a half and Michelle graciously declined his proposal for marriage and broke it off. “He accused me of being a materialistic you-know-what. Guess he was pretty raw, even after I told him not to buy an engagement ring.” Michelle was never high maintenance. She drives an older car that’s paid off, makes her own coffee every morning and has owned the same home for many years.

The picnic test. If you have doubts about her high-maintenance level, put it to the test. See how she handles an impromptu picnic. Suggest casual food from the deli, a cookout, or wine, bread and cheese. Then, gauge her reactions carefully. Dirk, a Minneapolis marketing manager, didn’t discover he was dating a high-maintenance woman until it was too late. When he was in his early thirties, he dated twentysomething Jodi for a couple of years. “On our way to a picnic, we had to stop so she could buy a new outfit, out of my pocket of course, because the one she took an hour to pick out on her own wasn’t good enough for the picnic.”

That was the first “picnic incident.” The second one was even sadder. The couple had spontaneously decided to go on a picnic, so they stopped by a deli at a grocery store near a nice lake area. “When the clerk weighed each of our salads, hers weighed more. She stormed out saying that I made her look like a pig because I wasn’t eating as much as she was. Kinda nuts, huh?”

I guess I'm alone on here again, but to me the only thing that tops a good day of golf is a good day of fishing. :RedinDC:

[RFS62]

I just switched from Mizuno T-Zoid Pro irons to Hogan Edge Hybrids 3 through PW. I've got Cleveland RTG wedges.

Ping SI3 Driver with a Harrison Striper shaft. McHenry Metal 3 wood.

Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport putter.

I hit my 7 iron 152, PW 120, carry the driver 240 to 260 depending on conditions, 3 iron 195.

[jmcclain19]

How do you like that Scotty Cameron Putter?

I've had the same Ping Pal4 for 10 years.

Been checking out the Odyssey Putters for a year now, debating.

[RosieRed]

Okay, I'm going to try to catch up on this thread in one post <deep breath> ...

1. SB, glad classes went well. Sounds like an interesting variety, if nothing else! I sympathize with the foreign prof. situation, that can be tough. And sorry about your friend's friend, how awful. :(

2. Creek, glad your eyes are okay!

3. Krono's not here b/c he's asleep (I assume)

4. Even so: Krono, good luck with the temp people tomorrow!

5. Despite all my talk, I did not tease my brother about his braces. He's in some pain, and had trouble eating dinner, and I just didn't have it in me to make matters worse. Plus he starts school Wednesday, and I'm sure he feels self-conscious already.

6. My golf clubs: They're some cheap brand you can probably find at Wal-Mart or something. (Knight is the brand.) But I have a very pretty blue bag for them! :)

I'm probably forgetting something, but that's all I can remember!

[RosieRed]

Oh! One other thing!

When I came home tonight, with my arms full of leftovers, I came across THE biggest bug EVER in the hallway to my apartment. Of course, it was flying around right outside my door. I honestly don't know what kind of bug it is, but it is UGLY. Looks like something they'd make people eat on "Fear Factor."

Anyway, I was standing at the bottom of the stairs looking up, watching the bug fly around, figuring out how to get into my apartment minus the bug. As if on cue, my two (male) neighbors from upstairs came down, and one was attacked by the bug. They both were freaking out, then they came around the corner and saw me standing there. I was thinking "Please one of you, kill that thing!" And one of them said "Do you want us to kill that for you?" So I said "Yes, please, that would be so great." Well, one guy got a better look at the bug and said "No way am I killing that thing! What is that?! That thing is HUGE!!" We all agreed: It's one big bug.

But did the boys kill it? NO. They were too freaked out by it, so they just wished me luck getting into my apartment minus the bug. I then offered them beer to kill it, and they STILL wouldn't do it. I thought that would work for sure.

I did manage to get into my apartment okay, but it was freaky. And I'm a little disappointed in the boys upstairs.

[RFS62]

Don't Golf

A good way to spoil a walk.


The only criteria I have for a good golfer is to play fast and have a good time. I hate golfers who are always mad and complaining.

And by play fast, I mean be ready when it's your turn.

Everybody struggles when they're learning. It's a hard sport to master. You can find out a lot about someone's personality watching them play golf. You'll definitely see how they handle adversity.

If you work hard enough to be a low handicapper, it's like physical chess, a beautiful blend of mind and body in a sport.

It's got tradition, history, strategy, tactics, and despite what most uninformed observers will tell you, it's a great physical and mental challenge when played on a high level.

[westofyou]

You forgot my biggest peeve, the guys who play up your butt, always pressing you even though they could sit still for 5 and enjoy the scenary.

I was kidding about the walk part, that's a Twain quote, I live right by a public course, about 200 yards, maybe I'll take it up again someday. I played it quite a bit in my teens and early 20's.

My short game was dreadful.

Yeah, "A good walk spoiled" is a famous Twain quote, and the title of an excellent book on golf.

By play fast, I mean think out your shot while the other guy is hitting his. Don't just start your thought process once it's your turn.

When I play my best, it's switching back and forth between the intellectual-analytical side to the totally conceptual-visual mode at will. That takes a lot of work and discipline, but it's pretty sublime when you can do it without running out of gas mentally before the end of the round.

You assess the lie, wind, distance, and conditions... chose your club, and decide on the shot with your linear thinking side. Then you switch totally to visual imagery, visualizing the show without any internal dialogue. Then you get into your pre-shot routine without any linear thoughts, only visual and rythmic.

When you can do that, it's very zen like.... "inner golf", if you will.

And that leaves all the other time to enjoy the beauty of the course, between that minute and a half mental and physical routine at each shot.

[RosieRed]

*ahem* If I may interrupt the golf talk again *ahem*

I can HEAR the bug flying around in the hallway and bouncing off my door. I can hear it OVER the TV and air conditioner. :eek:

How will I ever leave my apartment? Jump out the window? :help:

As for your bug, you got any bug spray? You could stick the can out there and spray the big bugger into oblivion.

i grilled some chicken tonight - marinated it for two days. It was awesome!

[Puffy]

I really hope my NY Giants win more than 5 games this year. But I'm not that hopeful. Tough division.

And stupid Accorsi trades away next years number 1 pick for Manning, even though the Chargers GM had no leverage whatsoever - now we are gonna be bad and not even get the fruit of our frutility.

[Puffy]

I quit chewing tobacco 10 months ago.

Started again for luck playing poker - big mistake, cause its working. Now when I play online poker I have to have a dip near by or else I get smoked. Stupid! Of course I have to dip on the golf course too, cause I play better with one in - man, the gods have conspired against me quitting!

[Puffy]

I love golfing

[Puffy]

People who need people are the luckiest people

OK, thats a good enough start - tomorrow I keep the pressure on, I dare to be great, or really really good, oh whatever, I dare to pad my posts to entertain

Now only a little over 200 posts behind the world-famous 'Movie' thread.

[Super_Barry11]

Aww, Rosie, sorry to hear about your horrifying bug dilemma!! :( Good luck with conquering the evil bug!!

I'm glad you had a good night with your family!! I never thought I'd miss those "normal" things like dinners with the family, but I really do!

There was a girl who reminded me of you in my creative writing class today... She had long, pretty reddish hair. I didn't know anyone in that class, so I sat behind her just because she reminded me of you!! :lol:

[RosieRed]

As for your bug, you got any bug spray? You could stick the can out there and spray the big bugger into oblivion.

I do have pesticide (it's for indoor house plants) but I suspect it wouldn't even phase this sucker. I don't have Raid or anything.

Seriously, you guys would not believe this bug. I'm sorry to go on and on about it, but it's getting even scarier -- the bug *makes noise* too. It's this screeching sound that gradually gets louder, then abruptly stops. It's *awful.* I've heard it twice so far. :help:

Anyone have any clue what it could be? I would love to know. It's about 3 or 4 inches big, it can fly, it makes noise, it's ugly as can be, looks to be dark brown with maybe a little green on it. At first I thought it was a really really big fly, but the wings aren't the same as a fly's wings.

I've been keeping an eye on it through the peephole in my door. Two people have walked through the hall since I got home, and both ended up running away from it. :MandJ:

Aww, that's so sweet! I hope she's nice. :)

I don't know if I'll conquer the bug, I'm kinda waiting for someone else to deal with it! :lol: I just hope it doesn't get into my apartment somehow. I'll probably call the maintenance guy tomorrow if it's still out there, and have him come get it. Wow, I am such a girl when it comes to bugs! :lol:

[SandyD]

SB, I had a physics professor whose native tongue was some form of Chinese. Most of the course was Optics. He couldn't distinguish between "reflection" and "refraction" so his explanations were useless. Very frustrating.

But it forced us to figure it out for ourselves, which is sometimes the more important lesson.

And Krono, a temp agency can be a great place to start. Go for it.

creek, glad you can see Adam clearly now. ;)

Rosie, sounds like a nice evening with the family. Sorry about the bug, but it'll probably be gone by morning.

Don't much like golf. Don't really know why. My brother in law is into it bigtime.

Roy, I don't get SouthPark either. Just not my thing I guess.

Zephyrs won, but nobody came. Does it still count?

[SandyD]

Oh, my Olympic sport would be fencing. :duel:

Never come close to trying winter sports, so I have no clue there.

Wow, that had to be tough... I'm not sure what country my prof is from, but she's definitely from somewhere western Europe. My uncle has the most hilarious stories about an old Chinese diff eq professor of his... I think he taught himself most of the material in that class too!!

I'm off to bed now, but all I have tomorrow is my physics lab from 8:30-11:30 am... Then I'm free as a bird for the day!! :thumbup: Sweet dreams, everyone!! :)

[RosieRed]

I'm a little afraid to go to bed. I feel like I'm trapped in a horror movie, where a bigger-than-life bug is waiting for me to make a wrong move (like going to sleep).

I can still hear it slamming into my door. :help:

That boxer puppy is ADORABLE! Don't you dare scold him!

Rosie,
Nail it with a frying pan! Speaking of ping - there isn't a more satisfying sound as when a large bug or bumblebee hits the center of the pan. It's like a tibetan gong. It's in chapter five of my book, "Things You Learn From Backyard Grilling".

Well, I'm outta here for a couple of days, heading to the outer banks to look at hurricane damage.

Osmosis, amoebas

The Rosie Award doesn't makes sense to me. After a couple weeks of observation, it's obvious that we simply have shifts.

It's my award :D

Have fun (if you can) RFS :)

Today is creek jr's first day of school. Mr creek is at work. This is my day off work.

The day is mine. All mine. To do with as I please.

Where's Adam when you need him?

Hey Krono, are you getting ready for the trip to the temp agency?

SB, ymmmmmmmmmmm hummus. I love hummus. Especially roasted red pepper hummus.

I just like typing hummus. But I do love it. Hummus, that is.

I like Rosie's hair too.

I hope she survived the bug of 23/24 Aug 04.

Puffy - you dip? Ewwwwwwwww. Just ewwwwwwwww.

Who here is going to kiss Puffy now that we know what he has in his mouth?

Anyone? Anyone?

My golf clubs haven't seen the light of day since I broke the ankle.

Salami and cheese for breakfast.

[KronoRed]

I was never going to kiss Puffy anyway so that doesn't bother me ;)

What plans do you have for your day creek? other then a rather odd choice for breakfast :help:

Temp place is not open yet, and I'm still on the fence on going to the people here recommended or the one the Mrs has gone to before

Ooh, good luck to Creek Jr. on his first day at school!!! Aren't first days so much fun?? :thumbup:

Have a wonderful day doing as you please, Creek... I'm sure you'll find something worthy of entertainment, even if Adam is unavailable!! :)

Ok, I'm off to physics lab... I have a distinct feeling that it's not going to be a rocking good time... :lol: Oh well, at least it's my only class of the day!! (I always try to set up Mon, Wed, and Fri to be my class days, with Tues and Thurs reserved for labs and recitations.) Have a fantastic morning, everyone!! :D

[KronoRed]

I always though if you were rocking in physics you would have stuff blowing up...that's not a good thing ;)

Salami and chees - low carb.

I've been doing a lot of reading about green tea lately. Anyone here drink it or take the extract in capsule form?

Go both places, Krono.

I envy you, SB. I loved college. I like to learn. I don't know why I don't go back for a masters. Maybe familly and work and RedsZone get in the way.

Anyone have a "best" friend (not your spouse or significant other) who is the opposite sex? How's that working out?

I used to, it worked out quite well before me and her both changed a lot, now all we do when we get together is say a bunch of "remember when" stuff

From what I understand, you need to drink gallons of the stuff to reap much of a benefit, Creek.

I may be bugging you after the holidays for "salami and cheese" advice.

Just for you :thumbup: and not one of those are spam :mhcky21:I saw the remnants of your cross-forum barrage this morning. You even found your way into the fantasy forum. :) Congratulations! :thumbup:

[KronoRed]

Thanks :D

Gallons of green tea? :help:

Yeah I am starting to get that impression. At least 64 ounces a day. I think the capsules might be the way to go. I'm looking for something, anything, to relieve some of the ankle discomfort. Some research shows that green tea might help with some arthritis pain.

Salami and cheese. I know that a lot of people think low carb is crazy. But I feel so much better when I do it. My blood sugar is like a roller coaster when I have a lot of carbs. And the weight does pretty much melt off. Let me know when you need some info.

Hey RL. How are you doing with the low carb thing? How's the wife?

[Unassisted]

Lisa on Six Feet Under?There's a good show. At least, I think it's a good show, since I've only seen the first season on DVD. Read something recently about somebody's wife dying in that show and realized I was far removed from current events there. I don't even know who this Lisa is. :)
