And Honor, I'm not putting Mike Golic on my list but I won't give you a hard time, he does have a certain teddy bear quality to him.

Bill Cowher lives in Raleigh. Just thought you'd want to know... ;)

I'm on vacation this week (technically more of a staycation) and am using the time to get back into the habit of working out. It started raining on me when I tried to ride my bike, so I've been going the Wii route: a combo of Wii Sports (tennis and baseball), Wii Fit, and EA Sports Personal Trainer. I've worked out at least twice over the past couple of days and am hoping to get in the habit of working out first thing in the morning before going to work.

On a related note, the EA Sports Personal Trainer program rocks. It's Wii Balance Board compatible, for any of you who have Wii Fit and want some more variety. There are an increasing number of programs that are compatible with the Balance Board - I saw a Pilates one today. Does anyone else have recommendations on good workout programs for the Wii?

BD - BE cautious of Craigs list! I would say out of your pics, that Bill Cowher might be the one!!!! I've always thought he was VERY cool, and Craig (hmm....) .... but I've NEVER THOUGHT OF DOING EITHER, but they may possibly be doable (remember they have to play wide receiver! :oops: ) Well, you and I (maybe just me) but WE need to have some more drinks to start drafting the others in your line up........!!! Just saying.... NOT GONE THERE.... EVER!!!! :oops: ;)

Wow, Wilson; that's pretty impressive. You probably don't even have time for a Scrabble game with all that reading!

Not really...I've been trying to cut my internet time down across the board.

I'll likely jinx myself by saying this, but I'm winning a game against Shammrog right now. The game is titled, "ImaFingSoreLoser;" he challenged me to this game when I beat him in the last one. Don't know if I can be lucky enough to win against Shammrog twice in a row. I was ahead of Lavabe, but he came back and won in the end. Maybe I need to challenge him to another 4-person game. He loves those.

Lavabe is TRICKEY LIKE THAT!!! Try M/W dictionary, he loves that game!!! ;)

Nitey-nite ya'll!
Was that Southern redneck enough?

Damn, digging my way out of this hole.... Oops :oops: :oops: :oops:

I believe I'll be staying outta this one...

UGH! We tied 2-2 tonight, after 20 minutes of overtime. I got a yellow card for doing pretty much NOTHING, and the guy that ran into me from behind (after the play was over, and after he pushed me back to the ground while I was getting up) got one as well. I was so ready to rock him during overtime, I'm pretty sure he was trying to set up to beat me 1v1 the entire time, which basically removed him from being a threat. I didn't get a chance, which might have been a good thing. We scored in the last 2 minutes, but the ref made a BS offsides call. I try not to blame the ref too much, but the ones tonight absolutely blew. They were terrible.

UGH.
At least we played extremely well/hard for the last 40-50 minutes of the game (better than we have all season).

I hope she likes me! I don't think I've seen her in four or five years.

Send me some vibes, please!

Sending many, many vibes ((((((((

It went decent, she's writing one for me!
Luckily she is a family friend, otherwise it might have been kind of awkward. She isn't the easiest person to talk to.
Anyways, bedtime!

BONes: May I use TRICKEY to bingo you? ;)

I've actually hit a bad run of tiles against Shamm. If I see another 7 vowel hand, I will scream. He will win two consecutive games against me. I think he must have met with some important SCRABBLE officials while down in Columbia.

I'm in a fun end game with BONes.

Is there anything worse than mistakenly entering a word in the chat instead of in the dictionary?

That is annoying, isn't it? Especially when it's not a word. :oops:

My Dad earned a yellow card for my entire team, which I wasn't even aware was possible. Opposing team player kicks ball out of bounds, ball is headed far far far out of bounds until my Dad jumps in front of the ball and saves it. He then hands it to one of the guys on my team at which point the referee, quite curtly, informs my father not to touch the ball and get out of the way. He then takes the ball from our player and hands it to the other team. My dad was livid and let the guy know. He whistled my dad, drew out the old dreaded yellow card and threw it in his face.

My coach just laughed. What else could we possibly do at that point?

Or especially when you don't use the letters in your next word, so that the opponent knows what you have.

I need to get moving southbound! I am missing my girl!!!! ;)

Hurry up! But drive safely!

I wonder if throaty read all of the posts on the LTE during his drive-by today.

Haha, he's probably still working on it if he did/is.

P.S. Right now you have 1337 posts. For all of you non-computer nerds it means "leet", derived from the word "elite".
