Oh yeah, and get your picks in for CFB.I'm sure that missing 1 (or is it 2 now?) weeks of picking is doing wonders for my score there. :cry:

[Roy Tucker]

BTW the papers are in the 4 Way Street Album.
Recent true story...

Roy was extolling the virtues of Duane Allman's slide work in "One Way Out" on the Allman Bros. "Eat a Peach" to son Zach. Since he didn't have the CD, he dug out the album from the boxes in the basement.

Opened the album up and out rolled some seeds and stems with a few stray leaf fragments with that distinctive herbal smell (and I don't mean Rosie's soap).

Roy just shrugged and gave a little nervous heh-heh.

[westofyou]

and I don't mean Rosie's soap

Though it probably was in the same price range.

Hey kids, remember .... a "lid" is a shoebox full to the top and uncut!!

[jmcclain19]

you guys kill me with your "forward" thinking.

When a rocket launches, the thousands of little parts inside are subject to all kinds of vibration from the propulsion that shoots it upward.

A piece the size of an M&M breaking off could destroy an entire mission by bouncing around at high speeds shattering and rupturing everything in site.

So everything, and I do mean everything, gets put in a huge box and shaken to high hell, much worse than you'd encounter in mission settings.

It's a box about the size of school bus, and it's in a huge sound contained room because it's hella loud.

Nothing dirty about it :p:

[westofyou]

Boy, Rerun, Rog and Dwayne sure gots into lots of trouble back in the day!!

Hey hey hey

Nope, I think your making that up.
Vibration Room.... yeah .... def not G-rated
Nice Try thought.... can't put anything by me :rolleyes:

[Puffy]

I was in a vibration room once. It was in NYC at a place called the "Dungeon" - wierd place, but the vibration room had it going on!

I was right behind him until I missed a week cause I tried to do my picks on a Friday but, apparently, that one week, they used a Thursday game and I was locked out. Stupid Karma.

[Puffy]

I'm gonna have leftover Pizza for lunch. I ordered a pie last night after the whole accident fiasco, and now I have leftover pizza to look forward to. You gotta love $13 for a pizza and getting three meals out of it. Of course I remember 15 years ago when pies were $7, but I digress.

[zombie-a-go-go]

I remember fifteen years ago when the most important thing in my life was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and trying to will myself to grow facial hair.

Now all the cartoons on teevee suck and I hate having to shave every day.

I started shaving when I was thirteen. It was hella cool then. It sucks now.

[Puffy]

I was just reading FHM. This month they have a feature on Alyssa Milano. She shaves her legs for dates and stuff, but when in a relationship, not so much. I gotta admit that freaks me out a lot. I hate shaving, but any girl I date, etc., has to shave the legs, under arms, you know, else I get the willies. I suck, I know, but thats me.

Though the women may call us sexist, Puffy, I gotta stand in solidarity with you on this one. :thumbup:

It's not like they don't complain when we don't shave for three days.

[zombie-a-go-go]

Or ten days, two weeks... you know, whatever. :MandJ:

I broke my rule about political threads, Puff. Twice, even.

By the way, I shave everyday... i feel weird if i don't. But.... i also expect the same from my guy... shave alllll the time... just walk around wit a razor in your hand.

It's Old Spice Red Zone (yeah, I decided to see if it was as good as Marty is always sayin' it is ;) ) 'Artic Mountain' or "Cool Mountain' or some other nonsense like that. It smells almost like I'm wearing cologne, which is amusing to me, because I have never worn cologne in my life.

Morning everyone. :)

I'm afraid I'm getting sick. I feel like utter crap today. Woke up with the worst headache I've had in years, my back hurts, my sinuses hurt, my stomach doesn't feel right ... I *almost* called in sick, even though work would kill me, but I think I'll go and try to make it through the night. I took aspirin three hours ago, and can't wait until I can take some more.

Ugh. :thumbdown

Even in the winter? I've been blessed with fine blond hair. It's great for keeping your legs warm in the winter. Hey, someone in my family was European somewhere along the way, right? :)

[Puffy]

I knew the joke and run wouldn't work for long Z - it was a good effort though. Being a mod, having to read through the thread, just too much temptation.

Well.... i spent a substancial amount of time in Puerto Rico so i am used to shaving everyday, it's part of my system. During the winter time... i have heaters everywhere and comforters everywhere.... so i am usually warm.

[TeamCasey]

Poor Rosie. Lots of creeping crud going around.

Someone down there bring her some soup!

TeamGriffey and I are always sharing drinks and stuff. I'm being a little more cautious about that this winter.

Thanks. :) I wish I could blame all this on alcohol, because I know how to deal with a hangover. But I didn't have a drop of it last night.

[Puffy]

At the gym they are now advertising Nair for Men. I haven't pick any up, but I gotta say I'm tempted if it didn't take that much time. I hate body hair, even on me. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if it was socially acceptable for men to shave all over I would be first in line at one of those laser hair remover places.

From the neck down babeeeee.

[jmcclain19]

Just like to add, that at least one time in my life, I would love to fill out one of these.

1/2 Jagermeister + 1/2 Rumplemintz = Screaming Nazi

Them's are good.

For waking up the next morning wondering why someone turned up the sunlight and who hired the percussion band to play in your skull.

Before the image loaded, jmc, I was certain that you were going to post a picture of a bra. I honestly don't know why.

[TeamCasey]

There's things you should NEVER do with Nair. I'll just leave it at that. Trust me. :cry:

[DunnersGrl44]

There's things you should NEVER do with Nair. I'll just leave it at that. Trust me. :cry:

Haha.... one of my friends at school.... a guy.... tried to use Nair on his chest..... and when he got into the shower it ran down and yeah..... lets just say the burning sensation wasn't pleasant... we could hear the screams from all the way down the hall. We might see his name pop up sometime... he is a really good catcher named Percy Reir.... might go into the draft.... who knows... haha

I called into work. I can't believe I did it, but I did. I feel so horrible for leaving them a person short tonight, but I feel so sick that I can't even imagine getting dressed, let alone working all night.

:( :( :(

[Chip R]

Rosie, if you're sick you're sick. That's why you have sick days. Don't feel guilty. When I broke my ankle I did it the week before classes started and I missed two our busier weeks. I felt bad but what are you gonna do? If you go in and infect other people, they might get sick and then they'll be even more shorthanded.

I know you're right, and that's exactly what my boss said to me. I just know how crazy it is on Friday nights, and if I could go in and do even half my normal workload, that would be better than nothing. But, it ain't gonna happen, so good luck to them! I think I'm going to go back to bed.

[Chip R]

I think I'm going to go back to bed.
Good idea.

[TeamCasey]

Friday has begun! :gac:

[TeamCasey]

The Teamster weekend mission: To assemble a Teamster scarecrow family for the front bench. Orders from the littlest Teamster - to find clothes for our respective scarecrow.

When asked if we need to make scarecrow cats for Tia and Ling, he looked at Mom like she was nuts and said, "No Mommy, cats don't have clothes!"

He's at that age where he learns stuff that we haven't taught him, and leaves me scratching my head. He was telling me how the biggest birds in the world were condors. Not sure where he got that, but it cracked me up. Took him down to the creek afterward to show him fossils. He was more interested in why the water was all gone and that we couldn't build a dam. It's fun having someone to play in the mud with. :)

[Chip R]

He's so cute. Tell him I still have his cookie in my fridge. He put it there for safekeeping. :)

Good Evening thread dwellers

Good morning everyone!

This Is Not A Secret Place.


No kidding ;)

[KronoRed]

Wow... the debate thread cracks me up.

And there is someone in this thread right now, I won't say who because they're invisible, but... what ON EARTH are you doing up at this time of the morn, eh?

They were watching you ;)

[KronoRed]

But for the record, I haven't been ejected from anywhere since the first Reds-Pirates series of the season. So :p: .


I don't think we can trust you :D

[KronoRed]

Although I was really looking forward to playing Fable, and now I have no videogame box, and will probably not have one for a long, long time. Such is life. But I can feel better about spending my leisure time on other pursuits that are more emotionally satisfying - I don't know why, but when I read a book or do some painting or writing or whatever I feel better, like almost in a spiritual sense, then I do if I spend hours plopped down on the couch watching television or playing videogames.

No video game system?

With GTA Sa about to come out?/

Pity!!! PITY! ;)

[KronoRed]

This post exists for the express purpose of establishing a zone.

As does this one, honesty rocks :)

[KronoRed]

I'll second that. I wouldn't mind quarantining this joint from the political topics altogether.

This is our very own room with our own rubber walls! Surely we can find more amusing activities for it! :)

I can think of many..some involve food fights :D

Oh, good luck to Ms Krono at her job interviews. And Krono, have you considered calling the colleges/ universities in your area for career guidance? If your unsure what you want to do, perhaps a Co-Op program would be good for you. Just something to consider.

The interviews went well she said, she got up as I went to bed, she was worried but calmed down and went, said both were cool.

Yes I have though about that, but need job to pay for school :(

[KronoRed]

The Invisible man rocks :D

[KronoRed]

TC, friend, talk? Krono, job? I swear, I'm going to pull over right now.

Z, I've got the DT book 7 too. Going to start reading it over the weekend.

TC started it ;)

[KronoRed]

Another busy weekend...

Working the concession stands at the MHS football game tonight. It's Homecoming so there should be a big crowd. I'll be schlepping the pop/water/Gatorade in my trusty cart. That is some serious labor. Advil and Budweiser after the ballgame (yeah, I know you're not supposed to mix them but just this one time...)

My middle daughter has a soccer tournament over in Indiana (Nightmare at the Rock in Center Grove). We'll be driving over tomorrow AM, 2 games tomorrow, stay in a hotel, the girls have a blast hanging out, monopolize the indoor pool, we get a party room in the hotel, parents bring adult beverages, have a stack of pizzas delivered, and have a good time. Then another game on Sunday. Drive back Sunday PM. Since we're playing a bunch of premier teams, we'll probably get killed (we're just a B team) but it should be fun.

Things are not boring with a team full of 13-14 yr. old girls, none of which are shrinking violets. It gets kinda wild.

Have fun Roy :)

[KronoRed]

I believe I just experienced a K-zone. It was awesome.

Over to other windows for work... Later....

Hooray Roy!

everyone should zone once in life :D

I think the appeal of this thread is basically the reason I keep coming to Redszone.

It's fun to hang out with people you like.

Everyone here has opinions on all the different things that are being argued about on the other threads, we just don't want the ill will that seems to permeate those threads in here.

This is our happy place.

I'm just now getting caught up on posts from the last week or so when I was on the road. I must say that Creek and Roy provide excellent adult supervision for this thread. You youngin's better listen to their advice. Those two have lived very interesting lives, and the stuff they're telling you now is excellent, excellent advice.

Zombie, you're a brave and solid man. Not a dude anymore, you're a man now, with the thoughts and emotions you're going through now and the way you're reacting to life altering changes in your path. I'm just sayin'.

And keep the freakin' politics out of here, for sure. I can't wait until this election is over.


Stated perfectly ..this thread is awesome :)

[KronoRed]

TC, you should be ashamed of yourself. :devil:
:gac:

[KronoRed]

I prefer Botox.
I prefer the robot body I'm building in the basement...

I've said too much


;)

[KronoRed]

So, how does this sound to everyone?

Ginger Apple Squash Soup. I think I may tackle it. Sounds perfect for this time of year.

I'd try it, never had squash before though

[KronoRed]

right now I'm everybody, so I say...

order pizza. :p:

Pizza is good all the time...

How bout apple squash pizza?

:D

[KronoRed]

I heard a good one the other day, too.

It went something like "Zombie, you couldn't find your butt with both hands and a flashlight."

I found that somewhat clever. I chuckled. Then I punched the guy right in his teeth! Yeah me! ;) :devil:

Did you hurt you hand? :D

[KronoRed]

Thamks for the thought Roy - it was in super slow motion, you know, but just nothing you can do.

And TC and Krono - you all better get hoppin, don't make Roy pull the car over cause its not a pretty sight when he does!! :devil:

I'm so far behind on my reading. I usually eat up the Dark Tower books as soon as they come out. I'll have the final three to read. I put the 7th book on my wish list and made absolute promises not to purchase it.

[KronoRed]

Oh yeah, and get your picks in for CFB

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/college

Done

In the 2 leagues I'm in I'm in 4th in both..better then last :D

[TeamCasey]

I think I like this desperate housewives show. It's pretty funny. I wish it wasn't on Sunday nights though. It interferes with whatever Sunday movie is on.

Can't offer an opinion cause I usually don't watch TV on Sundays

[TeamCasey]

I'd try it, never had squash before though

Squash RAWKS! I love the autumn fruits and veggies. That's comfort food! :)

I miss New York apples. McCouns were awesome.

[westofyou]

That show is my life.

The quality of fantasy TV from 64-70 is amazing and an attempt to mask the domestic and war problems in America, in a manner that has never been matched.

Compare the TV during that era to todays law and forensic orgies nightly sandwiched between car wreck lives and staged reality situations that autamatically become "unreal" once the 4th wall is broken and that pig and Eb look pretty good, not as good as Captain Nice or My Mother the Car though.

One thing is for sure Mr. Haney would have been shot if he really existed.

[KronoRed]

I remember fifteen years ago when the most important thing in my life was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and trying to will myself to grow facial hair.

I'd like to say that the MODS here do a pretty good job. :D

Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

New York is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

...The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square

You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there

Probably as much as I hate keeping my lab notebook. I keep swearing to write as I go. I keep falling into the trap of writing my experiments and calculations down on post-its and paper towels ...... then deciphering them later. :MandJ:

It's actually not too bad, as long as I don't get more than two weeks behind.

15 years ago today I was sitting in downtown Santa Cruz.

3 days later the downtown was essentially gone.

15 years ago, I was starting at my current company for $18,500. I started at a higher amount because of previous experience. Pretty funny now.

OK, I know some of you who read this thread smoke, but I'm going to gripe about this anyway.

One of my co-workers is a feverent smoker, he smokes at least once an hour, every hour, without fail. I know this because he has to go by my cube, which is in a corner, when he returns to his desk. He always stops by to check my workload, he's a senior member of my dept and I'm just an associate, so he always stops by to check my workload and see how I'm doing. And he makes small talk. All of the time. If you don't know this, to people who don't smoke, when you do smoke a lot, you stink.

And when he comes into my cube, he brings with him an invisible cloud that lingers for sometimes 10 minutes, of smoke.

It's gotten so bad, the smell of smoke when he comes into my cube, that I am bordering on being rude to him when he stops by. I don't stop working, i'm cordial but I keep working whenever I see or hear him coming.

It's just a gripe, but one I'm getting sick of. Every day, just makes me irriated knowing that I'm going to have to smell smoke aftertaste several times a day.

ok - rant over.

[RFS62]

The quality of fantasy TV from 64-70 is amazing and an attempt to mask the domestic and war problems in America, in a manner that has never been matched.

Compare the TV during that era to todays law and forensic orgies nightly sandwiched between car wreck lives and staged reality situations that autamatically become "unreal" once the 4th wall is broken and that pig and Eb look pretty good, not as good as Captain Nice or My Mother the Car though.

One thing is for sure Mr. Haney would have been shot if he really existed.


Yeah, I agree. We've got a corgi who reminds me of Arnold Ziffel. My remodeling contractor reminds me of Alf of Alf and Ralph. My wife and I communicate pretty much like Mr. Douglas and Lisa. Garrett is Eb. They don't think it's nearly as funny as I do when I explain that to them.

I introduced my kids to Green Acres earlier this year with the box set of Season 1 from the library. Now, we DVR it off of Nick or wherever it runs. They think it's a riot! I never enjoyed its parent show, Petticoat Junction as much, though.

Did you know that Frank Cady, who played "Sam Drucker" was the only actor to play the same character in 3 series at the same time? That character appeared in The Beverly Hillbillies, too.

[RFS62]

Sam Drucker's General Store is very similar to the building I grew up in. It was a 100 year old building. It was a general store, a dry goods store, the post office, and our house, all in one building.

My grandfather would have been the Sam Drucker of our little town.

[RFS62]

I always loved the name of the newspaper in Hooterville, on Green Acres.

Sam Drucker was the editor. It was the "Hooterville World Guardian".

The actor who played Sam was also in a mess of Capra Films, one of his stock players.

Uncle Charley from My Three Sons was a stock player in the great Preston Sturgis screwball comedies.

Three Great Mystery's in TV History.

#1 Why didn't Mike from "My 3 Sons" ever come back and visit? Was he afraid of Ernie?

#2 What ever happened to the family members of the deceased parents on the Brady Bunch? Didn't they care about the three children their son/brother/cousin had?

#3 What really happened to Chuck Cunningham?

Woy, those characters probably moved on to stardom in the Bizarro World. That's the place where Corey Haim is the hottest actor and Ben Affleck and Julia Roberts are relegated to starring in reality shows.

jmmclain- I'm a smoker, but I understand your woes. I rarely go out during work, Fridays being the only exception. If I do, I go to the ladies room and clean up. I can actually smell when someone's been smoking and it isn't pleasant.

[Chip R]

The interesting thing about a lot of those 60s TV shows is they told the story of the show during the theme. Gilligan's Island was a prime example. A lot of these "rural" shows were on CBS. They all did very well in the ratings but by the late 60s the CBS execs saw that most of the people watching those shows were starting to get older and a lot of those people lived in smaller towns and the country. Times were changing too and the country was ready for more shows with an edge. So CBS basically decided to, as some have said, cancel every show with a tree in it. So goodbye Petticoat Junction, goodbye Beverly Hillbillies, goodbye Green Acres, goodbye Mayberry RFD, goodbye Gomer Pyle.

Interesting note about Petticoat Junction. The head of CBS at the time Jim Aubrey had an interesting programming philosophy. An aide was fired once when Aubrey's memo got into the hands of the press. In essence, the memo said that Aubrey was dissatisfied with some female casting and wanted "bigger (breasts)".

[TeamCasey]

I'm thinking of trying spaghetti squash with a little red sauce and parmesan. Is it really that good? I NEED to get back in diet mode, but my head hasn't been in it. Trying to come up with healthy and interesting options. I'm going to miss pasta and rice.

That whole wheat pasta isn't that good. Brown rice isn't rice at all. I wouldn't feed it to my dog .... well ..... if I had a dog. ;)

I got me some new roommates.

So... I'm off to the party (and to tell my girlfriend; expected reaction: "you asked your ex to move in with you? what? it's over, Quentin) in Findlay... assuming that she doesn't leave me stranded on some lonely highway somewhere, I'll talk at you cats come Sunday night/Monday @ work),

Go Red Sox!

(only thing I can count on is at least one win @ Fenway... gawd, wouldn't that just make this week perfect? getting shut out by the damnable Yanks???)

I take two elevators at work now. Two levels down in the parking garage, and up to the 14th (really 13th) floor of the office bldg.

Today, after the elevator dropped off the last person from another floor, our elevator got all the way to level 12, and started to go back down again. The guard called it down because he thought it was broken. Or something. Didn't make much sense.

A few comments on our new office:

The commute is not as bad as I thought it would be. Lots of traffic lights; TWO intersections ranked among the most dangerous in the country; there's an awful glare on a sunny day that's almost blinding. BUT the lights are mostly synchronized. Unless I get behind a slow moving truck or something, I make pretty good time, all things considered.

And I don't weave in and out of traffic, race through lights, etc.

I have to park on level 4, 5, or 6 in the parking garage. I've decided to ALWAYS park on level 5 so I won't forget where I am. If I forget, I'll just think Johnny Bench.

The new building has a concierge ... for anyone in the bldg to use.

ATF has an office in the building.

So does a dermatologist. I needed to see a dermatologist, and he was on my health plan, so I made a 10:40 appt. I dealt with two skin problems, had a growth above my eye cut off, ate at the coffee shop downstairs, and made it back to work for noon. Monday the stitches come out. Kind of convenient.

There's a great view of the 17th Street Canal and Lake Pontchartrain from our office. Kind of hard to ignore it, since the office is surrounded by glass.

They have a cop direct traffic after work. Imagine a 17 story office building at 5pm emptying onto a small two lane street (one in each direction.) Only exit from the lot. Takes about 20 minutes to get out of the parking garage.

All in all, it could be a lot worse. I like the fact that I don't have to keep an umbrella at my desk anymore.

My traffic will suck until December. I have a double detour for awhile.

It's a great view, but I can't see it from my desk. Only when I'm up walking around, which I'm not supposed to do. Can't be helped sometimes. Saw a fish jump in the canal today when I walked to the file cabinets.

Still, I do appreciate being able to see the outdoors.

Roy was pizza guy at the home side concession stand. We must have gone through over 300 Donato's pizzas at the MHS game. If I hear "2 cheese" again, I'm going to blow up.

We must have sold 5000 cups of hot chocolate. It was a lousy night but a good crowd.

Mason won 34-7. They had a 34-0 lead at half and played the scrubs the whole second half.

Rushed home for ALCS and its rained out :(

Off to Indy early tomorrow. See you all Sunday. Everybody behave now. No parties and no boys over. The neighbors will be watching.

For those of you who are living away from your home states .... what items do you miss?

I miss apples, salt potatoes, Grandma Browns baked beans, GOOD corn on the cob, real Buffalo wings, Wise chips, Helluva Good cheese curds/dips, Old Vienna, LaBatt's, clams, Field Days, Spiedie sauce, NY pizza .... very thin and crispy .... just different there, Hoffman's Franks, good italian sausage and breads, knish, easy access to fresh fish dinners - walleye, bullhead, perch, etc.

I do NOT miss snow that I can no longer lift over the banks. I don't miss having to shovel a roof. I don't miss snow, period.

I live at home now, but man TC, do I miss some stuff on your list from my time in NY!! Salt potatoes ... I loved those. Helluva Good was good. The commercials cracked me up. I also miss Wegman's, particularly their take-out section. I don't know why, but I can't duplicate their pasta for anything, and I loved it. Some olive oil and garlic, marinara, pasta and parmesan ... so, so good. I miss all the easy access to LaBatt too. And I miss all the good bagel shops.

I miss being close to Canada, and to NYC, and closer to the ocean. I really miss the scenery of Ithaca. I'm so glad I always took advantage of all the waterfalls and gorges and swimming holes, including Cayuga Lake. We were out in one or the other nearly every day in the summer. I also miss outdoor ice skating (Fountain Square just ain't the same), and I miss some things about winter. Like going snow shoeing ... to the local theater when there was two feet of snow and we couldn't drive there.

I even miss the people of upstate New York. So many good souls. So many characters in Ithaca. It's a small town, but rarely dull. I used to think I'd live there again one day, but it'd be hard to leave my family.

I don't miss the mass quantities of snow, that's for sure. It cracks me up now when it snows a couple inches here and everything is cancelled. Wusses! Things aren't cancelled until snow is measured in feet! I also don't miss the DMV. ;)

I miss good corn on the cob. I miss cheese curds too. That's about it. I also don't miss the snow. Well, I don't mind snow I just don't like shoveling it.

I miss...well fresh oranges from right down the road when I lived in Florida..I also miss the beach being 30minutes away :D

Ding, Ding, Ding! RBA gets the win with Gladys Gooding! Very nice. :)

I'd post an organ award, but that'd get me banned for sure! :devil:

Don't..please...ever :help:

[KronoRed]

Had quite a shock when I walked outside this morning ... 52 DEGREES!! Do you know how long it's been since I've felt temps on the 50s? Outside at least.

It'll be mid 80s by Sunday, though.

That weather always played havoc with my nose.. :(

[KronoRed]

Shush, Southerner! ;)

Feels like home to me. Wish it would dry up just for the weekend. We have scarecrows to stuff!

Don't be starting on Southerners you yankee fan ;)

[KronoRed]

The baseball game screwed me up tonight. I've found myself watching a movie called Thought Crimes. Mental telepathy, espionage, troubled heroine ..... should be O.K.

Has anyone ever changed the brakelight bulb on a Toyota Corolla? My truck used to have a nice little access door. Not this car.

Small domestic car, easy..should be a little panel inside the trunk that you can pull off and replace the bulb

[KronoRed]

Krono was in the outfield picking dandelions! :devil:

I really though you made it up and the answer was Nobody

Funny story..one of the Mrs job interviews was up in that area, not sure where, she just mentioned she drove by the freaky scary looking P&G place ;)

Have a good weekend Roy :gac:

Why does EVERY sitcom feel the need to do giving birth episodes? They are almost always one of the worst episoes for that sitcom.

[Larkin Fan]

I was just thinking. I know, I know, that's dangerous. But anyways, with the recent events that have transpired with Barry and the Reds, am I gonna have to change my name? :cry:

[Chip R]

Don't change your name unless you aren't a Larkin fan anymore.

[Larkin Fan]

Don't change your name unless you aren't a Larkin fan anymore.

Not a chance of me ever becoming a non-Larkin fan. So I guess I'll keep it!
