So do I have this correct, that if I want to book a trip to Cuba, I should go through the Auggie Tech travel agency?

Let this be a lesson to those who think Boof and Brad are good names for starting pitchers.

What do you think happened there, anyway? 

Mr. and Mrs. Bonsor are sitting around with their brand new baby boy trying to come up with a name.

The family mutt lets out a "boof" at the mailman and they look at each other like "that's it!"

Lucky for Boof that he didn't end up being named growl, bark or yip.

I think, anyway.   

He was born John. Later had it legally changed to Boof. I think he was a big Teenwolf fan. Although Boof was a female in that movie.

In case anybody's been wondering what KR's been up to during those long, boring days in Des Moines:

I expect we'll be seeing him do that number with the CSB danceline at halftime on September 2nd.

  It'll take 2 of the junior coachs to run out for coffee for the others - and that's carrying a 4 pack in each hand.

Back when I used to have to run for coffee, I could bring back 2 pots of coffee, one in each hand, and a dozen donuts.

Yeah, mini-donuts.

Coffee in pots?   In the Pacific Northwest?   In the geographic and economic epicenter of Starbucks?  I recognize football coaches don't get paid a lot, but they don't make them work under subhuman conditions, at least in Oregon.  And certainly not in McMinnville.  No way.



And if you use the three cup caddy, it might take three junior assistants.

[Kilted Rat]

Something along the lines of "gay + german+ figure skating+ Tom Jones." Would be my guess.
Regardless that is pretty damn disturbing.


Fins,
If I have enough Hamm's to join the CSB danceteam at halftime, it will be the will of God that i do so.
Even in my heavier college days, there were always a couple dance-liners who out-weighed me, so I might be able to blend.

How about this quote in today's Daily Planet from Alex Hurd, swimmer from Richfield on why he'll be attending SJU...

"Basically, what made me decide on St. John's was the fact that I really liked everything about the campus," Hurd said. "If you average it out, each student would have like an acre of land out there and I thought that was really cool.


BTW Duff, it was a baker's dozen.

We had a visiting team here a couple years ago and they brought their dance line.

They had a guy on there, and son of a gun if he wasn't the best dancer on the team.

But some of the moves a dance team makes, no self respecting, Hamm's drinking male should ever do.

I'll never forget how he pranced off the field in line with his female teamates, pom poms on his hips.

Reminds me of an old joke:


Who is the most popular guy at the nudict colony?
The guy who can carry a dozen donuts with no hands.

Who is the most popular girl at the nudist colony?
The one who can eat the last donut with no hands.

Yeah, Admit was a helluva dancer.
Nothing like the sight of a 6'4 220 lb guy with a chest full of hair prancing, but damn it, he loved those pom poms.

Given the nature of today's discussion, I feel it appropriate to post, again, the Rules of Manhood. (And to think I already violated #28 today watching that youtube thing.)

The International Rules of Manhood:
1: Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.
2: It is OK for a man to cry ONLY under the following circumstances:
(a) When a heroic dog dies to save its master. (b) The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse(tears of joy). (c) After wrecking your boss's car. (d) One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game". (e) When she is using her teeth.
3: Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his buddies.
4: Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.
5: If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off
limits forever unless you actually marry her.
6: Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden. However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.
7: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is strictly optional. At that point, you must celebrate at a strip bar of the birthday boy's choice.
8: On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.
9: When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.
10: You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she's officially your girlfriend.
11: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless model and only when it's free.
12: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts.
13: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.
14: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.
15: If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.
16: Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.
17: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.
18: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that's just greedy.
19: If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.
20: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response.
21: Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting
weights: a) Yeah, Baby, Push it! b) C'mon, give me one more! Harder! c) Another set and we can hit the showers!
22: Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e., both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.
23: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary.
24: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal, drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion occurs about what a big mistake it was.
25: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours.
26: Thou shalt not buy a car in the colors of brown, pink, lime green, or sky blue.
27: The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for
Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an Xbox. End of story.
28: There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's
Gymnastics. Ever.

Duffy - Did you see Zidane yesterday? Fear the balding, especially on Sept. 2.

Kenny Rogers is the AL starter?? Wasn't it just a few years ago he was absolutely awful with the Twins? By the book (10-1, 1.83 ERA and 103 Ks), the best starter isn't even on the team but there HAS to be someone more deserving than The Gambler.

Good thing Zidane shaves his head - he has one weird hairline.

What are the main events for the 2nd?  Who's scoring?

A husband and wife are standing in front of the bathroom mirror one morning finishing getting ready for work when the wife feeling down about her appearance says "My hair's a disaster, my arms are flabby, my breasts are sagging and my butt is too big.  I really could go for a compliment this morning."  The husband replies "Honey, you have perfect eyesight."
