Banks are closed?

I thought so, our main co-op fund we move money in and out of is anyway.

Hm, just looked it up. Guess Good Friday isn't a normal bank holiday. Oh well, 2-hour lunch still in effect.

Had me worried for a second considering today is payday and Monday is the 1st.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Yeah, banks are open. Today wasn't all too bad....haven't done a thing since 9AM. I processed some payrolls yesterday so all I did so far was go through the packets. And...now it's lunch.

The worst part is our boss trolled the office yesterday. On his way out yesterday he told everyone have a great weekend...then said oh wait, tomorrow we are open. Douche!

Thanks to acquiring WatchESPN recently, I now understand cricket.

I've been trying to understand that game for a while since I like to watch Sky Sports News...still no clue what they are doing.

I feel the same about Lacrosse. I think that if I understood the ins and outs and rules and whatnot, it would be one of my favorite sports.

Lacrosse is an awesome sport. Fun to play too, even if you're just throwin the ball around or shootin on goal. The rules aren't too complicated, and once you pick them up it's pretty easy to figure out strategies. Some similar x's and o's to basketball. A lot of ppl I talk to find lacrosse to be unique in that the field is extended behind the goal. I'd say lacrosse is a close second in my favorite sports, behind football. But I grew up in Maryland so that makes sense.

Yeah I'd love to follow it more, but it's not a very common sport around these parts (West Texas). Do you think there's any websites you could suggest for me to read up on everything and try to get a hang of it?

Re: Off Topic 2013

There really isn't much to lacrosse. The only confusing thing is if you attempt a shot, but miss the net, you can still retain possession by having one of your players closest to where the ball goes out of bounds. Other than that, all the fouls are common sense.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I'm going to break my neck one day by "popping the bones" in it.

I can seriously sit and close my hands as many times as I want and pop the bones in my fingers. My mom used to get mad at me about it saying I was going to have big knuckles when I get older.

I try not to do it still because it could be a problem down the road, but it freaks my gf out and I'm a spiteful mother****er. I seriously still hide in the pantry and other parts of the house scaring my mother, when I'm at home.

I'm such a mature 23 year old person.

insidelacrosse.com is pretty good. There's not a whole lot of resources out there, but if you were just trying to familiarize yourself with the game on a basic level, uslacrosse.org and wikipedia would probably get the job done. ESPNU will usually have some good games every weekend and sometimes during the week now that the season has started.

edit: and there are some decent highlight vids on youtube.

Re: Off Topic 2013

kittens become cats. cats are major ****ing ******* balls of pure hate. **** them.

They lead the nation in kitten killing, though. And I just can't support that.

I have no idea how anyone could hate cats. They're smart and cuddly.

But this as well

Re: Off Topic 2013

I've begun sarcastically liking posts now (as well as genuinely liking).

Live in unknowing fear of what it means when I like one of your posts now, OS.
