I know we have a bowling thread (after all, I started it), but I'm going to brag here. Last night, I bowled my highest game ever, a 279.

X X X X X 9/ X X X XXX

That damn 10 pin hosed me in the sixth frame. :(

Chief Rum 09-23-2011 12:26 PM

Be proud. That's pretty damn awesome.

JediKooter 09-23-2011 12:35 PM

You bowled a heck of a game Pumpy. Heck of a game.

Wow! Nicely done!

SI

cuervo72 09-23-2011 02:14 PM

Well bowled, Pumpy. Well bowled.

Pumpy Tudors 09-23-2011 02:25 PM

Thanks for the warm words, folks. My highest game keeps progressing by two pins. Three years ago, I bowled a 275. Earlier this year, I bowled a 277. Last night was the 279. I guess 281 is next, but I'm hoping 300 is next, of course.

Edit: And I just realized after typing that how difficult it is to score 281. That's a really strange number to get in a bowling score. That's like X X X X X X X X X51. That would be a superior choke job to start off with 10 strikes and then bowl a 5 count. I hope I never do that.

Live HSFB webcast tonight as Athens Academy (3-0) hosts Prince Avenue (4-0) in a rivalry game to kickoff region play. Pregame at 715p, kickoff at 730p.
I'll appreciate it, the students who produce the webcast will appreciate it even more (including my own kid)

http://bit.ly/aWyR3s

*I don't know where the hell to put these links when I remember to do them. We didn't do a HSFB thread this year, I don't really want to start a thread just for this, I'm sticking it in here because, well it is pretty random.

Draft Dodger 09-23-2011 05:47 PM

was at the school today waiting to pick up the kids and one guy was talking about updating his family crest to add something that represents his two kids. One kid is Griffin, so that one had an obvious representation. But he was stuck with something to do for Carter. I suggest a peanut.

...and got nothing but blank stares

She's got some morphine based thing she can take every 12 hours and percoset every 4 hours. My sister and I both live with mom and dad so we can help take care of dad, and are trying to take care of mom as well, but so far all that's entailed is just hanging around and every 10-15 minutes or so when she is awake getting really freaked out and saying "Would you let me do that!? Stop using your arm!"


I was on Percocet when I broke my arm and it's really an amazing drug. When you're on it, you feel perfectly normal with no pain at all. You start to think, "This doesn't really hurt that bad", and you think it's time to stop taking it. Once the effect wears off though, you realize just how much pain it was masking.

I bet a lot of people really hurt themselves badly because the percocet makes them think they do more than they really can.

Mexican Coke is really good. Although now that I can find it from multiple locations, I'm sure I will tire of it quickly. I snagged a case from Home Depot the other day. Surprising to some, but it's the most Mexican thing at our Home Depot.

I will never tire of Mexican Coca Cola.. it was the one food returned to me from my youth. Marathon bars, New York Seltzer, Oreos with trans fat, Candy Raisins.. gone, all gone.

stevew 09-23-2011 11:58 PM

With 24 glass coke bottles I could pretty much rule that one African tribe. Crazy god indeed.

You know when you pull off/out your headphones just to make sure everyone else isn't hearing what you're hearing? I know you do.

No, shockingly enough, we don't have the day laborers that I hear that most places do.

Pumpkin flavored coffee......not as bad or odd as I thought it would be. I think I actually like it.

Obama tells blacks to 'stop complainin' and fight - Yahoo! News

Quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a fiery summons to an important voting bloc, President Barack Obama told blacks on Saturday to quit crying and complaining and "put on your marching shoes" to follow him into battle for jobs and opportunity.


And though he didn't say it directly, for a second term, too.
Obama's speech to the annual awards dinner of the Congressional Black Caucus was his answer to increasingly vocal griping from black leaders that he's been giving away too much in talks with Republicans -- and not doing enough to fight black unemployment, which is nearly double the national average at 16.7 percent.


"It gets folks discouraged. I know. I listen to some of y'all," Obama told an audience of some 3,000 in a darkened Washington convention center.


But he said blacks need to have faith in the future -- and understand that the fight won't be won if they don't rally to his side.


Coincidence? Poor choice of language? Subtle sterotyping?

Declining use (down to 16% from 22%), lower customer satisfaction and the upcoming cost associated with upgrading something that isn't really all that popular in the first place.

I hope to hell they don't get rid of them. I'm faster than any manned register could hope to be.

Ksyrup 09-26-2011 07:57 AM

We had a golf scramble fundraiser yesterday and for 4 or 5 hours, I kept the kids busy by throwing the football with a bunch of them. I haven't thrown a football in probably a decade (aside from the cushiony ones I throw to my kids in the house). My freaking arm feels like it's about to fall off.

Passacaglia 09-26-2011 08:55 AM

I was bowling in Pittsburgh this weekend, but unfortunately, my dreams of Pumpy showing up randomly did not materialize. I should have told him that I was going to be in Pittsburgh to see if he wanted to meet up.

My frickin' arm is throbbing from the flu shot I got today...it's never been this sore in the past. I wonder if it has to do with them putting three strains of flu in the shot this year?

JediKooter 09-26-2011 12:20 PM

Had a similar experience last year playing catch. Holy shit, that hurts.

Do you mean a Nerf Football?

Ksyrup 09-26-2011 01:36 PM

No. We have an assortment of balls that are made out of all sorts of fluffy stuff they like to throw in the house. Not quite as firm as a nerf.

Ksyrup 09-26-2011 01:37 PM

A nerf can do damage in the house. These things usually have enough give that they won't take down lamps and picture frames, etc.

Ksyrup 09-26-2011 01:37 PM

My wife hates football Saturdays in the house. lol

Suicane75 09-26-2011 01:52 PM

Ok. I thought were referring to a Nerf ball as a fluffy ball and was upset for a moment.

Ksyrup 09-26-2011 01:58 PM

I get away with it mostly by telling my wife that it's good for the girls' eye/hand coordination. Of course, yesterday a glass of milk ended up spilled, so that's gonna set us back a week or so in our "training sessions."

So you're using the Rosie O'Donnell koosh balls?
