Look at this, just like old times.

[Larkin Fan]

I just looked up Ted Ginn Jr. for the heck of it since I was already in the directory. :MandJ: I had no idea he was an education major.

[Larkin Fan]

Team RL :D

Good, you're on the winning team. :gac:

[RosieRed]

After your "strip" or after your "ST trip"?? When Adam's involved I always have to be concerned about shenanigans.

There will not be any stripping! At least not any planned in advance. :p:

Dear Stormy,

I've missed you. Would you like to have a latte and discuss the enchanting mysteries of biochemistry together?

Warmest Regards,
Larkin Fan

Ummmmmmm.......... :help:

[KronoRed]

Look at this, just like old times.
You're making us new people feel bad :(

It's not our fault nobody told us about this place :cry:

[RosieRed]

Good, you're on the winning team. :gac:

Exactly! :gac:

[Larkin Fan]

It's pretty cool to look up my name too and see all of these official appointments. I even have an office address/phone number (even though I don't personally have an office. LOL) I'm going places people. Who would have thought that a few years ago?

[KronoRed]

TMI stormy! :dflynn:

[RosieRed]

Krono, I just noticed you and I both joined in June 2003. :)

Quite a few of us did.

And still do.

How can it be just like old times when Krono and I weren't around then, but are around now? :confused: Are we on ignore? :confused:

Gotta double check that ;)

I think we are...... :help: :(

That means we can talk about them :mhcky21:

Good, because I have some complaints!! ;)

[RFS62]

Rosie, Rosie, Rosie....

You and Krono, even though you're gonna get whupped like you stole somethin' in the mother of all softball games, are an integral part of the juggernaught that is RedsZone.

I'm just waxing poetic, pining for the fjords.

[Larkin Fan]

Come on now, you two know we love ya (Krono, in a manly way of course).

We just get a little nostalgic at times. We fought many of wars together over on that other board and banded together at the start of this board. All of you newcomers are just icing on the cake. :)

[KronoRed]

Thanks RFS, LF :)...I was starting to feel like nobody wanted us around and I would have to break out this guy http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v408/Kronosb/moon.gif


;)

[RosieRed]

My name sounds nice when it's said three times. :)

Thanks 62. Too bad you're wrong about the softball game, but the rest of what you said was good!

[Stormy]

I'm just waxing poetic, pining for the fjords.

"Pining for the fjords???" If there's one thing I hate, it's people who are intolerant of other cultures... and the Swedes!! (with their damn fjords).

Otherwise, I agree it is like old times... only in old times, the part of Rosie was played by a Turkish mime.

[RosieRed]

I certainly don't feel like a newcomer to this board anymore. Seems like I've been around here for ages.

[RFS62]

Stormy, I teed that one up for you, and you fouled it off.

Dig deeper, man!!!

[KronoRed]

Uh oh, be prepared for an essay. ;)

Yeesh..I though you were gonna say Naked people or something :MandJ:

[Larkin Fan]

Team RL rocks.

[RFS62]

Owner : Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.

Mr. Praline : Look my lad, I've had just about enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I bought it not half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out after a long squawk.

Owner : Well, he's... he's, ah... probably pining for the fjords.

[RosieRed]

Team RL vs Team Puffy!

[Larkin Fan]

Cbus, how can Team Puffy win with you batting leadoff? 'Nuff said.

[Larkin Fan]

Wetzel needs to post in here.

[KronoRed]

I though the smack talk went in the gathering thread? ;)

[KronoRed]

So..double posts get by the 20 sec filter ;)

[RFS62]

Cbus, how can Team Puffy win with you batting leadoff? 'Nuff said.


He'll only be hitting leadoff once in the first inning. The rest of his first inning at bats, all 12 of them, will be in RBI situations.

[Stormy]

Sorry that I failed to follow suit by playing Cleese to your Palin, RFS. This is like a batting practice session for me, as Krono mentioned. However, unlike Krono I haven't been away from the game so long that I've forgotten which side of the plate I take my cuts from. ;)

You just worry about taking your intentional passes in front of me from the #4 spot, and practice trotting home in style (and please, no 70's style shorts). ;)

You know you're my dawg, Dave!

[KronoRed]

Actually having taken some swings, I bat well from both sides of the plate, just hope TeamPuffy doesn't try and bring in a situational lefty :D

[letsgojunior]

I'm a righty, just so you all know. I know Team RL will attempt to put extreme infield shifts on me, but I can lay down the bunt too.

[Stormy]

Cbus, how can Team Puffy win with you batting leadoff? 'Nuff said.

How could we not. We've got the softball equivalent of a 750OBP 900Slg% Adam Dunn clone at the top of the order (that's a Raisor fantasy sequence by the way).

[KronoRed]

I hope we have a walk off homerun and then a big hop at homeplate :D

[Stormy]

I'm a righty, just so you all know. I know Team RL will attempt to put extreme infield shifts on me, but I can lay down the bunt too.

Is Puffy channelling Miley by batting you #2, and instructing you to give yourself up, hit to the right side and lay down bunts? If you tell me you are also playing SS, I'll know the answer! ;)

[RosieRed]

I hope we have a walk off homerun and then a big hop at homeplate :D

Which brings up this:

Who is the home team??

[CbusRed]

Cbus, how can Team Puffy win with you batting leadoff? 'Nuff said.

Well, lets see, given the power of our lineup, and the absense of a mercy-rule. I expect to have at least 13 at-bats. Players like me arent judged by batting average, they are judged by home run average, in which I am batting around .400.

So, 40% of 13 is 5.2

So providing that every time I am up, there are no RISP, I will account for 5.2 runs just by swinging my bat.

Now granted there is a huge margin of error involved, as I am sure to see at-bats with runners on and such. And I am likley to hit more than 5 homers. and in the at-bats that I do not hit homers in, I will definitley be hitting extra-base hits.

So this puts the projected number of runs that I have responsibility in at approximatley 32.

add that to the at-bats of my teammates when I am not even on the basepaths, and we should be scoring close to 80 runs.


With our infield full of gold-glove caliber players, (we probably wont even need to field an outfield), I am estimating that Team RL will score no more than 2 runs.



Final projected score..... Team Puffy wins by a score of 83-2

[RFS62]

Just tryin' to school the kids in the finer points of the Flying Circus.

Some things need to be passed down to a generation that thinks "Yes, Dear" is cutting edge comedy.

Those Red Leaderettes are gonna think they've been through the Spainish Inquisition when we get done with them.

[letsgojunior]

No I'm playing short field

And I'm going to swing for the fences too... I've been testing out some of Bonds's flaxseed and arthritis cream

[KronoRed]

Which brings up this:

Who is the home team??
Flip a coin :)

[Roy Tucker]

Can't commit to anything, but if GoGoSox and I can make the gathering, would you folks be interested in some chicken and andouille sausage jambalaya?

We'd have to ask for help with the cost, but might make a good post-game picnic.

Of course, we'd also have to make sure we can cook at the site.

Can't make any promises, but just seeing if the interest is there.
Sounds good to me. I haven't had good jambayala in, oh, about 20 years.

The female person in Roy's life previous to the current Mrs.T was a Louisiana native (from Alexandria and USL). With a last name of Soileau, she was a true ragin Cajun. She cooked up good jambayala, gumbo, crawdads, etc. She did a good job with deer, rabbit, and even squirrel. No possum though. Spent some time in Alexandria and felt like a stranger in a strange land. Good folk though.

[RFS62]

I hope we have a big hop at homeplate :D



If by "big hop" you actually mean "big limp" or "big crawl" or "big please call 911", you are prophetic, sir.

Yea, and nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. We'll go all Torquemada on them like they were, ummm, people who like said stuff the church didn't like, or something. Or who molested the sheep in a nativity scene, like kevin Bacon in Diner.

[RFS62]

You're back on your game. :RedinDC:

[Stormy]

Forget home field.... What are we playing for? The right to see either Rosie or LGJ in a pair of $500 pink high heels? Access to Tedd Ginn Jr's private chat line?

If you buy me the $500 pink high heels, I'll wear them even when you lose. :)

Pretty sweet, Rosie. I'll bet Red Leader will want that on the front of your team's jerseys.

[Stormy]

http://www.faraandfriends.com/ff-web-images/icon%20friends/rosie.jpg

That makes me think happy thoughts, about befriending Team Red Leader and trying to understand their rich cultural history... before dropping another 4 spot on them. :)

With Cbus, Puffy and RFS on base in front of me... after LGJ pops out to herself. ;)

[RosieRed]

I'm starting to feel sorry for you Team Puffy folk.

So much smack talk has to mean you have very little confidence. Aww, you poor things! :(

[KronoRed]

If by "big hop" you actually mean "big limp" or "big crawl" or "big please call 911", you are prophetic, sir.
Come on now..we're all one big family :)

[Roy Tucker]

Took the spousal unit out for a rare Friday night date (yes, I still date my wife). Went to see "Spanglish" at the Rave. A good movie. With a stronger actor that Adam Sandler, it could have been excellent. James L Brooks does good stuff.

Went Bravos after the movie for pizza margherita and salad. And a couple glasses of a good red. Just hung around the table after dinner and talked. Haven't done that for a while.

Gotta hit the hay now, big hike tomorrow.

[KronoRed]

Oh, ouch Rosie. That really hurt. It makes me want to reflect on my life and contemplate the true meaning of fellowship and competition.... nah... you're goin' down... down to Chinatown!!!!

[letsgojunior]

What is up with all of this trashing of my game? First I was *given* away for nothing, not even a case of beer, and now I'm popping up to myself.

Seriously, you all are going to be sorry in June. I've been working out and listening to Puffy's tapes. And I'll wear those 4" heels to the game, and take care of anyone who gets in my way on the basepaths.

[Stormy]

I'm starting to feel sorry for you Team Puffy folk.

Damn. If there is one thing that really effects my swing negatively, it's being accurately psycho-analyzed by the opposition. It makes me feel all "Lefebvrey"...

[KronoRed]

Glad I'll be playing the outfield :D

[KronoRed]

What if a bench clearing brawl starts? who decides the suspensions? ;)

Dont worry about what they say LGJ..

We do our talk on the field... and its more like shouting, really loud, like as loud as 83 runs.

[RFS62]

Dude, you don't want to mess with a woman in heels.




That has never been my philosophy.

This is our way of motivating you. Hopefully you'll take Larkin Fan out with those spikes flying high early in the game. If that doesn't do it, maybe Zombie will accidentally wing him while advancing from first to Left Field later in the inning. As for popping out to yourself, it's more a matter of Puffy's smallball infatuation (have fun with that one) with the bunt, rather than a referendum on your skillz. Plus, it could be worse... Dante Bichette once double himself off first base while with the Reds.

[KronoRed]

How bout we all play in heels???

Hrmm..beer + heels = OUCH

;)

[Stormy]

What if a bench clearing brawl starts? who decides the suspensions? ;)

Creek... we'd tell you more, but it's classified and we'd have to wake Tom Ridge from his long winter's nap. :)

[letsgojunior]

I'd like to see every male try to walk in 4" heels. That would make the entire trip worth it.

[KronoRed]

If that guy shows up I'm leaving ;)

For how long? an hour? the game?

[RosieRed]

I'd like to see every male try to walk in 4" heels. That would make the entire trip worth it.

Agreed.

[RosieRed]

I did it! Looks kinda funny ...

[KronoRed]

Thanks Krono! :) I'll try it on for a day or two.

Ouch. It's been about six years since I've been spiked at second. I'd like to keep it that way. :MandJ:

[Larkin Fan]

BTW, what's all this talk about taking me out? Haven't I spent enough time on the DL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

;)

[Larkin Fan]

And I must warn all of you on Team CreamPuff, I can hit and field in a manner that would make my namesake proud. ;)

[RosieRed]

I can't believe I'm still at work.

:dflynn: :dflynn:

[Larkin Fan]

Yikes, Rosie. How much more work do you have left?

[RosieRed]

Yikes, Rosie. How much more work do you have left?

I myself am done with work. Have been done for about an hour.

But the way it works is we all stay until we're all done. So who knows. Shouldn't be much longer ... I hope!

[RosieRed]

Well, I've officially been here way too long. So I'm taking off!

G'night everyone :)

[DunnersGrl44]

Cbus is at my house right now and he is being mean to my friends!!!

How many game threads have we been in together?? You know I hate Bob Boone/Dave Miley hitting Castro/Randa (I loathe the Joe Randa signing!)? No small ball for Team Puffy!!

[Puffy]

And I must warn all of you on Team CreamPuff, I can hit and field in a manner that would make my namesake proud. ;)

Team Cream Puff????

Not cool. Not cool at all.

[TeamCasey]

Good Morning, Peeps.

You already got dung! :allovrjr:

[GAC]

You talkin about baseball or eating supper? I guess we'll know if he comes up to the plate wearing a bib and has a spoon and fork in his hands.

Why does this image come to mind when I see Team Puffy at the plate? :mhcky21:

[RBA]

I searched RedsZone with the word "Porn" The reults were 86 threads.

[Redsland]

I can confirm that it pays to stay on these banks with fees. They were going to start charging me "teller fees" if I went in the bank to do any banking. I called them when I got the notice. I gave them an earful about elderly people like my Mom and Dad who only do banking that way. I told them it was disgusting, and that I was going to close my account.

Suddenly, I'm a preferred customer of gold or something ..... anyway ..... the fee doesn't apply to my account.
"Preferred Customer Gold" must mean the same thing in banking circles that "Ma'am" means in retail and foodservice. ;)

[creek14]

Man I hated it when people started calling me ma'am. Talk about feeling old. Now I just accept it as a fact of life.

And it beats some of things I have been called.

[MWM]

Spent yesterday in St. Louis. Nice town. Went to dinner at Chuck Berry's restaurant called Blueberry Hill.

BTW, isn't the new stadium supposed to open next year? It looks like it's barely started. I remember the year before the GAB opened, you could see the stands and a lot more than what I see there. And it's going directly next to Busch just like the GAB.

[RosieRed]

Rosie. Love the new avatar, although its not "jersey worthy".

It fits you well, sunshine.

Aww, thanks RL! :)

[TeamCasey]

I make a hella rawkin' clam chowda! Just saying.

Elvis French Toast

Peanut Butter and Banana Stuffed French Toast.

I'm all shook up.

Bolton is just about to take Arsenal to their 3rd loss this season, Aresenal has been off balnce and they went substitution on offense in the 68th minute and haven't sniffed a chance yet.

No!! we need 2 umps. One for the plate and one for the bases. Plus, they all are going to have to do some serious sucking up to us for the next 5 months!!

Oh Creek, have I mentioned how lovely you're looking these days? Why I swear, it hardly seems possible that you're old enough to have children.

And TC, you ravishing thing you...... We'd be lost without your expertise at the game. Pleae reconsider and share your immense knowledge of the game and your unfaltering sense of fair play and justice.

And TC, you ravishing thing you...... We'd be lost without your expertise at the game. Pleae reconsider and share your immense knowledge of the game and your unfaltering sense of fair play and justice.


:RedinDC:
Now that's what I'm talkin about. :thumbup:

[KronoRed]

Maybe I'll just be a beer vendor. I can make a few bucks doing that too. ;)
You could retire on what some of them will drink :mhcky21:

[KronoRed]

Forget compliments, we have cash and RosieRed awards to offer ;)

[RFS62]

Forget compliments, we have cash and RosieRed awards to offer ;)


Oh Krono!!!!

I'm shocked and embarrassed that you would imply that those two paragons of virtue and honesty would stoop to such a vulgar display of heathen bribery!!!!

[TeamCasey]

No!! we need 2 umps. One for the plate and one for the bases. Plus, they all are going to have to do some serious sucking up to us for the next 5 months!!

O.K. You can do home plate and I'll go out in the dandelions. Anyone passing me on the base baths has to drop off a beer, or I call them out ....... even if there isn't a play. :MandJ:

[TeamCasey]

62 is starting to get the idea!

[TeamCasey]

2 cups of chowda and a little hair of the dog.

[Puffy]

No!! we need 2 umps. One for the plate and one for the bases. Plus, they all are going to have to do some serious sucking up to us for the next 5 months!!

Wasn't drafting you and having Mr. Creek on Team Puffy some kind of good karma type thing?? I mean you are still a member of Team Puffy with all the perks and benefits that go along with that......

[RFS62]

Wasn't drafting you and having Mr. Creek on Team Puffy some kind of good karma type thing?? I mean you are still a member of Team Puffy with all the perks and benefits that go along with that......


Oooooo, ix-nay on the arma-kay there Coach Puffy.

I'm sure we'll get fair and impartial treatment from both these lovely ladies.

:mhcky21:

[TeamCasey]

I'm going to enjoy all this sucking up over the next few months. :D

[RFS62]

I'm going to enjoy all this sucking up over the next few months. :D



Yeah, I'm really sorry you had to hear that bribery stuff from poor misguided Krono. He must be pretty desparate and stressed out over the whuppin' he's signed up for to imagine you could be swayed like that.

He seems like such a good kid too. Who'd a thunk it?

[creek14]

with all the perks and benefits that go along with that......
Keep talking.

[RosieRed]

I find it nothing short of amazing that I am instantly bored when I walk into my office. I've only been here half an hour ... and when all is said and done tonight, I'll have done maybe an hour and a half of work. :help:

[RosieRed]

Keep talking.

http://www.snrmedia.com/gallery/2004superbowl/bb_bs_saturday/images/10dunn_jpg.jpg

[TeamCasey]

Go Steelers.

[CbusRed]

Go Steelers.


Agreed, and it kills me to say it!

[TeamCasey]

The cat just dragged Chip in.

[RosieRed]

Agreed, and it kills me to say it!

I was just thinking the same thing.

I don't want to root for the Steelers, but I have a hard time rooting against Roethlisberger.

[CbusRed]

I was just thinking the same thing.

I don't want to root for the Steelers, but I have a hard time rooting against Roethlisberger.


Thats really the only reason I am rooting for them too.


I went to the MAC Championship game last year and watched him throw all over my Falcons, I knew then that he was special.

[creek14]

Dang, Rosie really speaks my language.

[RFS62]

Wow, Rosie plays dirty.

I like it.

[RosieRed]

Wow, Rosie plays dirty.

I like it.

:RedinDC:

[creek14]

I'm off to lose money at one of the boats. I have a serious gambling problem. I'll drop at least $20 tonight.

[RosieRed]

:eek: :eek:

I'm starting to get nervous for Big Ben. This ain't looking good.

[TeamCasey]

:eek: :eek:

I'm starting to get nervous for Big Ben. This ain't looking good.

No, it's not.

[RosieRed]

WOW.

I can't believe he missed that!! Twice!!

[TeamCasey]

Wow

[MWM]

Ben was definitely hurt today. Did you see the video clip they showed on ESPN before the game where he was trying to throw with the glove on? There was something wrong with his thumb they were hoping the glove would fix. He played the first half without it, but put it on for the second half. It was obvious his throws were missing something. I don't see how anyone could throw a football with a glove on their hand.

[RosieRed]

Really? I hadn't heard anything about his thumb. Thanks for the info MWM!

[MWM]

Is there anything more annoying in ALL of sports than watching NFL referees trying to spot footballs, especially when they were almost 10 yards up the field?

[RosieRed]

MWM, I just noticed your sig ... that is hilarious! :lol:

[RosieRed]

Wow, that FG just barely made it. Crazy.

[MWM]

MWM, I just noticed your sig ... that is hilarious! :lol:

SNL at its finest. :D

[KronoRed]

2 cups of chowda and a little hair of the dog.
Dog hair in chowda????


EWWWWWW :eek: :eek:

[KronoRed]

Poor Jets...they need a kicker, but then so did the Chargers ;)

[KronoRed]

I find it nothing short of amazing that I am instantly bored when I walk into my office. I've only been here half an hour ... and when all is said and done tonight, I'll have done maybe an hour and a half of work. :help:
At least you have the thread :D

[KronoRed]

Wow, Rosie plays dirty.

I like it.
Glad she's on our team ;)

[KronoRed]

At least the Steelers have Maddox ;)

I went down to the Travel, Boat and Vacation show at the Convention Center this afternoon. The only construction going on was on the outside of the building and on the 2nd floor. It appears that Coug's ruling on my call of SHENANIGANS on the Reds was correct.

[RFS62]

Sorry Krono.

Mailbox emptied now.

[letsgojunior]

Hola amigo :)

Definite SHENANIGANS there.

:thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown

[RosieRed]

It's been a rather stress-filled night at work. Not for me, so much, but everyone else seems to be really on edge.

[CougarQuest]

I finally get back home and find I had to catch up on20 pages in this thread. 20 PAGES! And I had to read just to find out what happened with LF, only to find out she did not show up to class. And I had to read who would get 50,000. And I had to read what LF's milestone post would be. Then Stormy's post. Great to hear that lgj is still in the mix. I must say I was a bit surprised that someone would think I would possibly ask someone in here to see their under garmets via a PM.

I must say I know that creek and TC would never endanger the integrity of the game to be swayed by simple things as money, dates, and compliments. They have too integrity to fall for that type of shenanigans.

[CougarQuest]

I went to the boat show early this afternoon.

[Chip R]

Makes one wonder why the real reason was that it was cancelled for the next two years. I can only think of two reasons. 1. It's a money loser. Revenues don't make up for the cost of feeding and housing the players. or 2. They couldn't get enough players to commit to it.

[RosieRed]

Either way, it sucks.

[Super_Barry11]

I must say I was a bit surprised that someone would think I would possibly ask someone in here to see their under garmets via a PM.

I don't think anyone really thought you did that... You just happen to have the same first letter of screen name as that certain person, so they threw your name out there as a guess. Besides, it wasn't like he PMed out of nowhere asking to see my underwear. It was a joking thing during an online conversation. Not a big deal, but I just thought it was kinda funny at the time.

[RosieRed]

I must say I was a bit surprised that someone would think I would possibly ask someone in here to see their under garmets via a PM.

Surely you know that was said in jest!

[MWM]

There was a six part, six hour documentary on the SS Gestapo that I DVR'ed off the History Channel today. Should be interesting.

[Chip R]

My name was thrown out there as well. And by Rosie of all people! :eek:

[CougarQuest]

Surely you know that was said in jest!
Obviously, if I was going to do that, I would have asked in here

;)

[RosieRed]

My name was thrown out there as well. And by Rosie of all people! :eek:

For heaven's sake people, I threw out everyone's name that started with C! Even Creek!

[Chip R]

For heaven's sake people, I threw out everyone's name that started with C! Even Creek!
Perv. :p:

[RosieRed]

Perv. :p:

You really shouldn't talk about yourself like that Chip. :p:

[CougarQuest]

Rosie and SB, I was just setting it up so I could say 'I would have asked in here'. I was not upset.

[Chip R]

You really shouldn't talk about yourself like that Chip. :p:
I know you are, but what am I? ;)

Buy a boat today, Coug?

[Super_Barry11]

Rosie and SB, I was just setting it up so I could say 'I would have asked in here'. I was not upset.

Good. I have the worst hangover EVER, so I'm not exactly feeling very perceptive right now... I'm just glad you're not upset, cause then I would feel bad. :)

[KronoRed]

Hey..maybe they needed the money to sign Milton ;)

[KronoRed]

Great..RFS emptys his pm box and I forget what I was going to say to him :help:

[Chip R]

Good. I have the worst hangover EVER, so I'm not exactly feeling very perceptive right now... I'm just glad you're not upset, cause then I would feel bad. :)
Not possible. I had the worst hangover ever. Of course it was many moons ago but it was memorable.

[KronoRed]

I've never had a hangover :D

[CougarQuest]

I know you are, but what am I? ;)

Buy a boat today, Coug?
I was going to buy that $400,000.00 one since it was on sale; but I didn't feel like waiting in line to go through it, I didn't want to put those paper shoe covers on my feet to go through it, and I left my cash in another pair of pants.

I did sign up for every free trip they offered. I expect my phone to ring off it's hook the next couple of months. Not that I will win, but they'll want to sell me something.

Although they did have a couple of good deals on fishing trips. Lodging, boats, bait, and meals included. I'm interested in one in Canada, one in Tennessee and one of the Walleye trips on Lake Erie.

I asked my fiancee if she was interested in making the trip to Tennessee a two-4-one deal. She asked me what I meant. I said we could go down there and get a fishing license and marriage license and make this a Honeymoon/Fishing trip. I think she needs to think about it. I told her she should look at the brochure. I then pondered, out loud no less, if they had the same kind of deals on marriage license as they did fishing license. Three-day, 7-day, etc.

Strange thing, I've noticed women don't seem to have the same sense of humor as guys do one certain subject matters.

[KronoRed]

You keep 400,000 in a spare pair of pants??!?!?!

Umm..need your laundry done CQ? :D

[Chip R]

As long as you two have been engaged, I'm surprised she didn't take you up on that offer.

[CougarQuest]

You keep 400,000 in a spare pair of pants??!?!?!

Umm..need your laundry done CQ? :D
No I said I left my cash in another pair of pants. The cash amount in the pants wouldn't pay for the paper shoe covers they were giving away.

[KronoRed]

Oh, then forget the laundry offer ;)

[CougarQuest]

As long as you two have been engaged, I'm surprised she didn't take you up on that offer.

I told her that I would be the envy of every man that loves to fish. And I might make the "You might be a Redneck if ...." hall of fame.

[CougarQuest]

She made a comment that she has a gorgeous wedding dress and I quickly added that the shimmer from the lake would really add to it.

[KronoRed]

Make it? you'd be the president ;)

[Super_Barry11]

My hangover and overall feelings today are complicated by the fact that I did something really stupid last night. :thumbdown

Last night a bunch of friends came up to Cleveland to visit, including the guy I was kind of dating last summer (and really, really liked) who started ignoring me out of nowhere in the fall (obviously really hurting my feelings). It was the first time I'd seen him or talked to him since his unexplained "vanishing" act. Anyway, we went out drinking, and so predictably, I kissed him. :dflynn: :dflynn: :dflynn: Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!

He said he really missed me, blah blah blah, and my inebriated rear end believed him. So yeah. I still really like him and I kissed him. STUUUUUPID!!!

He did call me today, but I was at a movie and had my cell off. My friend told me not to call him back... What do you guys think?? :confused:

[Chip R]

The Jets lost tonight. :jump:

[KronoRed]

No jet fans around here? :( ;)

[KronoRed]

If you do call him SB, make sure to ask WHY he started ignoring you last summer

[Chip R]

Is this the boy who has that anxiety disorder where he weirds out around people like Ricky Williams?

[CougarQuest]

I think it was just a kiss and nothing to beat yourself up over.

How would you feel if you called him and he didn't call you back after last night?

[Super_Barry11]

Is this the boy who has that anxiety disorder where he weirds out around people like Ricky Williams?

:MandJ: Yep, that's the one. Great dilemma, huh?? He's not a bad guy, but I can totally see him freaking out on me again. :(

[KronoRed]

You could ask him about all that maybe, CQ is right, it is just a kiss, you didn't say you'd marry him :)

[RosieRed]

SB, if he called and you want to call him back, I say call him back. At least now you know his situation.

[Chip R]

:MandJ: Yep, that's the one. Great dilemma, huh?? He's not a bad guy, but I can totally see him freaking out on me again. :(
I believe you are overanalyzing the situation. Like Coug said, it was just a kiss. You obviously still like each other and neither of you are married or engaged so what's the big deal? If he's getting help for this problem, that's great and it would lessen the chance of him freaking on you again. However, if he does, you now know why he is doing that and it doesn't have anything to do with you. If you don't think you can deal with his problem, tell him to have a nice life. If you can, take it from there.

So how far was your tongue down his throat? :devil:

[CougarQuest]

Chip,

Nothing like giving great advice. Then ending it with a sentence like that. BRILLIANT!!! LOL

[KronoRed]

:MandJ: :MandJ: :MandJ: :MandJ: :MandJ: :MandJ: :MandJ: :dflynn:

Exciting isn't it? Here's the view from the pool where I'm staying the week I'm there... Spring Training can't get here fast enough.

http://www.ritzcarlton.com/resources/sarasota_home_pool.jpg

[RosieRed]

That is a nice view! I cannot wait to get there.

[RosieRed]

OMG. I just got an email from a boss-type asking me if I'm bored, in a general sense of the term, with my job. What does that mean? What do I say????

:eek: :help:

[Stormy]

That is a nice view! I cannot wait to get there.

Same here. Sun, sand, sea and Spring Training sound awfully nice when it's 25 degrees and sleeting outside. :) I like this picture better though it's from the hotel club, rather than the main hotel.

:eek: :help:

Yikes! Hopefully, it's just an arbitrary query. Act natural, tell him you're enamored of your work, and whatever you do - don't let him/her ever see your contributions to this Thread. Seriously, hope it all goes well... and you may want to check your office for wiretaps, monitoring devices, and hidden cams (oh, and if you do find a cam, send me the video feed immediately). ;) too bad there aren't any "helpful types" around tonight, to give you some better advice.

[CougarQuest]

Rosie, ask him if he is offering you a higher paying position.

[CbusRed]

OMG. I just got an email from a boss-type asking me if I'm bored, in a general sense of the term, with my job. What does that mean? What do I say????

:eek: :help:

If your boss is beating around the bush at something, which it sounds like he/she is, it is very un-professional, regardless if the nature of the email is good or bad.

[RosieRed]

Thanks Stormy. I'll get right on that video feed. ;)

I think it is an arbitrary query. When I switched to this dept., one of my big complaints about my last dept. was that I was always bored. I wrote back what I hope is an acceptable answer.

And now everyone is leaving, and I don't know if I'm supposed to sit and wait for a response, or if I can leave too? :confused:

[RosieRed]

Rosie, ask him if he is offering you a higher paying position.

'Tis a she, and I doubt it. No positions are open. I'd love more money though!! ;)

Hmm. She's on the phone. I don't know what to do. I think I'll just leave ... and then I'll be checking work email from home later tonight, to see what she said!

[CougarQuest]

No positions are open.

That you know about. You just never know

[RosieRed]

MEMO to whomever drives the WEBN Assault Vehicle: Your driving is assaulting. 20 MPH is NOT an acceptable speed on a 45 MPH road!

Anyway! I'm home now, and have checked my email. Everything is fine; there's was just a concern I wasn't being challenged enough by my job. I'll write back tomorrow. I would love to have more "challenging" work to do; I work best under pressure and with lots going on.

[MWM]

Anyway! I'm home now, and have checked my email. Everything is fine; there's was just a concern I wasn't being challenged enough by my job.

Actually Rosie, that's exactly what I thought when you typed the message. It didn't occur to me that it could be a bad thing and I figured someone was just exercising some leadership by making sure their people are happy and being challeneged. It actually took me by surprise to see that it might be a bad thing.

[Super_Barry11]

So how far was your tongue down his throat? :devil:

:eek: :MandJ: I'm gonna hafta go with a "no comment" on that one. ;)

It just freaked me out because I was complaining tonight about being bored, prior to getting that email. Then I worried that maybe there was a perception I wasn't doing my share of work, but instead of saying "Do more work!" she came at me with the "are you bored" approach.

I should have known it wasn't anything bad. All my bosses are actually really great.

[jmcclain19]

Evening all,

So i just returned from my trip. The little lady had a work emergency that requires her to be in tomorrow at 8AM, so we high tailed it home so she could get some sleep. She got the call about four hours ago, so we quickly packed, threw the gear in the car and ran home. For whatever reason I bought a four pack of Red Bull, to keep me awake, and drank it all in the process of going home.

I covered 240 miles in a little over three hours, only stopping once for a quickie restroom break, so yeah, looking back that was a little on the fast side.

Fun though, went snowboarding today, and apparently the majority of the Phoenix metropolitian area had the same idea. I spent easily most of the day waiting in lines and hanging out on the lift, then would fly down the run in no time at all. But it was an incredibly sunny day out, still had great snow. I didn't wear sunscreen so now I'm red like a lobster below my goggle line.

Good to see that RT had a day night last night. Always a good thing, keep things fresh and original. I think I'm disturbed by RBA looking up Redszone porn. The idea of posting a photoshopped image comes to mind, but I would like to not get banned tonight, no matter how hyped up on caffine I am.

I don't drink caffine at all, ever. I don't drink coffee and only have a rare soda, so yeah, I'm bouncing off the walls like a hyper pre-teen.

[DunnersGrl44]

What a night
A "shooting" right outside my work..... which was actually a table that fell from the top flooor to the bottom floor, and someone screaming gun, which caused a stampeed.
Then an arguementative table.....
Thank god for Craig for calming me down!
Appreciate it!

[jmcclain19]

So I have a wide angle lens option with my digital camera I hadn't used before. Stopped this weekend and decided to try to use it.

Took the time to take two photos

http://www.offcenter.us/images/openroad.jpg

http://www.offcenter.us/images/wide.jpg

well, I didn't take the 2nd one, as I'm in it (I'm on the right) but those two turned out pretty good. Some of the others, didn't, with that wide lens.

Still will take practice.

And one of my fellow snowboarders needs to learn how to block out the sun, here's one of many, this one is me sitting on the side of the mountain. He had the camera for several runs of me and our other cohorts, and almost all have the sun glare in them. *Sigh* Oh well, maybe next trip.

[jmcclain19]

I see the NFL games went off without a hitch. And both teams I predicted to win would win.

And the best part, I'll be home tomorrow to watch the games, that's something I didn't expect to be doing.

[jmcclain19]

maybe, in light of the fact that I'm the only one on the thread, I'll stretch out my legs and zone a little here.

Do people know that Florescent clothes went away in the 80's?

Not that I'm a fashion guru or anything, but floresecent orange is not manly. Ever.

I could count on all my toes and fingers and still not get high enough to see the amount of people I saw decked out in bright, and oh do I ever mean bright clothes on the slopes. Please tell me this isn't making a return and I missed the boat. Cause that is one ship I never want to set sail on again.

[jmcclain19]

So pitchers and catcher report in a month.

I'm making the official change back to the baseball avatar.

It's time for the season to begin again.

I'm so excited. Was coming home from work, saw the guys working on the Angels ST field, got me geared up for it. Been thinking about it ever since.

[jmcclain19]

Looking back on last night's and todays pages.

You guys realize that the game, the softball game is about five months away.

That's 150+ days. Over 3600 hrs.

And your still talking smack?!?!

Might want to ease up on that a bit. Or otherwise it'll get old. There is a long, long way to go yet before the RedsZone outing.

As Puffy states. "Just sayin"

[jmcclain19]

Anyone else catch the story that they, being the scientists of the European Space Agency, discovered that Titan, one of Jupiter's moons, have what they believe is a sea of methane gas on the surface, complete with islands inside the methane sea.

There are all kinds of bad jokes to throw in here right now, but I'll let them go.

[KronoRed]

Nice zone JM..also VERY nice pictures :D :)

[KronoRed]

Rosie, ask him if he is offering you a higher paying position.

I was going to suggest the same ;)

Rosie, it's nice you have good bosses :)

I just had pizza at 2am, I know it was a bad idea..but I was hungry :D
