Well, speaking of Doc McCarthy, it reminds me of a story.

A gravely ill man was at the doctor's office for an examination. After the examination the doctor motioned for the wife to meet him outside the exam room in the hall.

The doctor told the wife that the only possible way he could recover would be for her to prepare very healthful and nutritious meals and feed him these 3 times a day, make certain he has no stress whatsoever during this period of recovery, and make certain you make mad passionate love to him at least once a day.

On the way home in the car the ill husband asked her what the doctor said. She very calmly told him, "He said you're gonna die."

Could be an interesting evening tonight folks. It seems that this is reunion weekend at CSB, and lots of old hens from ROR's class have pre-registered. I plan on setting up shop at the LaPlayette tonight in case any of them wander in, I can check out how gray their hair is, etc. Many alums from later years will, no doubt, be exposed to the Finsleft wit and charm (which always seems to turn up a notch at the La).

Shoes and I will be part of a group making the voyage up this evening.  Our plan was to spend some time sitting in a circle and drinking outside before heading to Sal, but this beautiful weather will likely send us to the bar sooner than later.  I'll keep an eye out for you if we make it all the way over to La.

Give Mr. Shoes my regards - and remind him that I'm looking forward to printing articles from JFB.com this year, with pictures!  So he better have his new stylesheet ready. 8)

I can only imagine the spectacle.  I'll be expecting to see a commercial on late night television for "Girls gone Wild, CSB Edition" with Fins shouting "please don't show us your hooters."

I wish KR had actually gotten into an A$$ kicking contest with the one-legged man so he could give us a first hand recount of just how busy such a person actually is in those bouts.

snoop - Although I play in the Championship Flight, to recount the holes that kept me from the club championship would take too long.......... much too long.

[bennie]

I went over to the Olympic Trials festival during lunch to check it out. The only beers I notice them selling was Windmere Bros. Hefeweizen and Budweiser. Five bucks for the microbrew and $4 for the Bud. Hell, they would have to pay me to drink the Bud! No Hamms in sight! What are they thinking??

[snoop dawg]

retagent,   I hear you, but those two holes are still fresh in my mind, they were last weekend in 100+ degrees.  Oh well, on to the  weekend skins game and the $5 nasaus.  Life is good. 

While I was in Ensenada, I had a really great margarita.  The bartender used fresh squeezed lime juice as the mixer, and a mysterious clear sweetner, some good tequila and a touch of grand marnier(sp?), lots of ice( from bottled water of course)  Wow, 2 of them knocked me silly.  Im sure the double XX lager helped. 

KR......if you get a chance to go south the Coral Hotel in Ensenada is pretty nice.

KR,

Was the guy a Twins fan? 

Nope, he was wearing a Chargers visor. And he wasn't even speaking english to his kids!

You'll get over the guilt.  You're just starting your active service.  If at the end of your time the worst you have done is play rough with Blackbeard at a Twinks game, then you'll be a rare sailor indeed.

Well put my friend, well put!
I'd like to hope that's the worse I'll do!

Let's consider that you are a young, strapping man in the prime of your life, with countless years of enjoyment ahead of you. The one-legged man on the other hand may very well have been trying enjoy himself for the last time in his life. Getting that ball just could have been the highlight of his life, a memory he would have taken to his grave. (probably a pauper's grave at that)

Having said that, I would have probably knocked the son of a bitch over if I had to in order to get the ball.

He was only in his 30's, but yeah, at least I didn't knock him down!
I wondered where you were headed with the phoney-baloney holy roller crap... I hoped it would end as it did!

Besides, he's headed to no pauper grave, the guy had seats for himself, 2 kids and his mom 2nd row behind the dugout and was buying every vendor item in sight!

I think it is OK as long as you didn't :

1.    Spill his beer;
2.    Steal his beer;
3.    Push him over the railing.

As a kid, I saw a guy catch a foul ball in a popcorn cone, the guy next to him grabbed the cone, ripped it apart and then they went at it.  The cops had to break it up and eject both of them.

He had no beer, I maintained control of my beer and didn't spill a drop, and there was no pushing let alone any railing.

He didn't seem like the type to put up a fight and someone else caught a foul ball later in the game and gave it to one of the girls, so I feel like that helpoed absolve me to some degree.

I wish KR had actually gotten into an A$$ kicking contest with the one-legged man so he could give us a first hand recount of just how busy such a person actually is in those bouts.

He would have been very busy indeed, however he had crutches, which reduces the advantage! 

I was waiting for someone to bring that one up. I had odds in my head and while Fins was the favorite at 2:1, you were at 7:2.

That has officially been added to my list of places to go before departing this fine city!




OK, now back to work 

At least I get tomorrow off before my 28 hour shift from Sunday 7am to Monday 11am

Fat chance.

Probably found some shyster lawyer to sue his doctor for malpractice and twelve one-legged jurors.

Ouch. And to think I haven't even insulted Notre Dame's DII football team in months!



GF,
That was one of my thoughts.

They just don't have to lift their shirts up as high anymore.
It was an interesting evening indeed last night. A very enjoyable extended happy hour at the La with some of the Zimmer boys and other assorted locals. Ended up back in town and then back at the gee-rodge and the hot tub on the deck got a workout.

Just because I didn't bring it up, doesn't mean I wasn't thinking it.
What do you say to a one-legged hitchhiker?  "Hop in."

Off to the Eagles for a warm-up Hamm's before heading down to the Twins game. We are close to the handicap seating section. If you see a guy knocking down small children and tipping wheelchairs to catch a foul ball, that will be me.

You know the one about the two drunks watching the funeral of a Navy Captain, don't you?  After hearing the minister begin his prayer, "We come here to bury an officer and a gentleman ... " one drunk turned to the other and asked, "When did they start putting two people in one grave?"

Inquiring minds want to know.  What member(s) of CSB class of 1978 participated in giving the hot tub "a workout?"
