We were the Archie Bunker of couples, you could say. Six couples that met at our wedding went on to marry each other. Good luck with the weather. Where are you guys going for a honeymoon? Someplace cool I hope?Quote:

not too much. the hall is 1000 and the food is about 20 a person ... other side is taking care of a few flowers, a tad bit of alcohol, and photography.
Not too bad considering the amount of people :D

Others can win it, but you won it first so you get it named after you.
Kinda like the Cy Young award, but you actually won one :thumbup:
My roast beef sandwich was wonderful, thanks for asking - oh wait, no one did ask. Well, who cares, I'll tell you all anyway. It was great.
Roast beef rocks
What kind of bread, cheese, toppings?
Alright Krono - now we're talking about my favorite subject. Me! Good job, and now I am officially on the Krono can win the last person posting/most posts bandwagon!
White sub roll, no cheese, L, T, Mayo, Oil & Vinegar, Salt & Pepper.
Hmm..sounds good
Home made or deli?
Publix Deli - I need to get out of the office everyday so I never bring lunch to work. I like the freedom to take 30-45 minutes and go somewhere and read the USA Today.
Oh, Publix is a supermarket chain - I don't know if there are any Publix's up north, although i do know we had none in New York, but its a good supermarket with real good sandwichs at their delis
When a professional athlete busts his knee, there are a few vocational routes to take. There's sports commentary, the autobiography business, personal appearances at used car lot grand openings, and the lecture circuit—all careers that A.E. Housman may have been thinking of when he wrote his poem "To An Athlete Dying Young." But more than all of those other post-athletic activities, there's coaching, shaping young talent with the wisdom accrued in years of experience.
Chicago Bulls forward Ken Reeves was talked into the latter career by his old friend and teammate Jim Willis, and that was the premise behind TV's White Shadow. Jim was a principal at Los Angeles' Carver High School, nestled right inside an inner-city, working-class neighborhood…and though Reeves was new to the world of clipboards and de facto paternal responsibilities, coaching soon appeared to be his true calling.
The White Shadow was created by TV producer (and big basketball fan) Bruce Paltrow, later of St. Elsewhere and father to Ms. Gwyneth you-know-who. It was about the sport, of course, but it was also about a growing up in a tough neighborhood at a tough time. The kids on the team had to face drugs, gangs, race hostility, learning disabilities, financial hardship, and more—so it wasn't all towel rattail fights in the locker room. Whatever the dilemma, Coach Reeves figured into the solution, be it through good advice or hands-on intervention. His players trusted him, and given the general mistrust they had for people older than them, that was really saying something.
In the 1979-80 season, b-baller Curtis Jackson was shot while standing in a liquor store that was being held up. That was also the year that a load of players "graduated" from high school and moved on…and a new batch of actors came in to take their place. In its third season, the show lightened up—there were more laughs and decidedly more singing in the shower, which some would argue the Carver players did as well as they played hoops.
On the court or off, the young men on the Carver High basketball team were a funny and eclectic group, and their coach, their "white shadow," was always there to lend an assist. There was Salami, Thorpe, Coolidge, Haywood, Gomez (Go Go) and others.
Brilliant show!
Nope no Publix up here, when I lived in Florida I loved Publix..good subs, good chicken, nice bakery as well
I miss Publix :(
I had taco for lunch..yum :D

Nottelling, I think you have to ask Krono. I believe he is the moderator of this thread. ;)

My best friend reminds me a lot of the White Shadow.
I guess that drubbing by the Giants took the wind out of this thread's sails. I'll take advantage of the doldrums by posting absolutely nothing of interest. :yawn:
I just killed the weirdest looking bug, I think. I mean, it was definitely the weirdest looking bug to ever be inside my residence, but I'm not sure if I killed.
I saw something crawling, and it looked an awful lot like a spider -- a BIG spider. So I grabbed a shoe, went over, and slammed down the shoe. That sucker jumped! And it jumped before I could even get the shoe down on the floor! Then it was sitting like a foot away from me, so I walked over to see what it was. I swear, it looks like a spider, 8 legs and all. BUT it has two really gigantic antenna-looking things coming out of its head, plus it jumps. Is there such a spider that does that?
Anyway, I tried to kill it again with the shoe. Didn't work -- he's quick! So I grabbed a bottle of pesticide I have for all my indoor plants, and sprayed it. And it jumped. I sprayed again, it jumped again. I kept on spraying it until it jumped out of my sight. It's now either dead or hiding behind the TV.
I hope it doesn't come to get me in the middle of the night! Yikes! :help:
(Drum roll please ...)
YAY! I did it! I killed the weird bug! It's definitely dead now, all smooshed and in the garbage. I swear it tried a sneak-attack on me, but my newspaper was no match for it and its crazy jumping abilities.
Whew! Now I can sleep tonight! :)
(And note to self: Pesticide for indoor plants does NOT work on weird bugs.)
Rosie again wins the Rosie award :D
(the Rosie award is awarded to the last person who posts before I get here in the morning :D )
Sounds like a mean critter Rosie, and the pesticide probably just ticked him off :MandJ:
Maybe it was a dragon fly?
Today I have no plans, what is everyone else up too?
OH I have one thing to do, figure out where the AC line is on my car so I fix it
Anyone wanna help? :D
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Is there a rule that you can't post more 2 Jack Handy quotes at once? ;)
Yeah, but what if one is your sig line?
What's your rulebook say about that?
I just made a new rule
You get away..this time ;)
There are no rules here - if RFS62 want s to write a book about Jack Handy quotes here he is free to do so.
You know Krono I supported you for awhile after you were kind enough to ask me about my RB sandwich, but I fear you are becoming drunk with power, i.e., trying to make rules.
Now if we were playing quarters and you made three in a row then you could make a rule (no drinking with your right hand and no names are two of my favorite rules), but not here, not now, not in this forum!
I have no power, just an opinion, if you wanna make 2 Handy quotes then split it into 2 posts, more posts for you :thumbup:
Drunk? I don't drink ;)
What's for lunch today Puffy? :D
Although I do hand out awards, which everyone is eligible for :D
Well Krono, I'm thinking about Arby's. Chicken sandwich, curly fries w/ a side of chedder. Good stuff!Quote:
