Just don't bring up spanking, I heard you can get reported to the moderator for that. 

Enough, maybe?

Fine.

BDB, be nice, or you're gonna get a spanking.

...and not the good kind!

[Johnnie Red]

For those of you who know Doug Lawrence, a former Johnnie player, there will be a going away party for him this coming Saturday, January 13 at O'Gara's in St. Paul. The event starts at 4:00 p.m. Doug is taking a new position with Ameriprise in Boston. Hope you can join us.

From the it's a small world and everyone in it reads post patterns dept, I present the following:


I just started a peds rotation at the County hospital this week. One of the great perks of rotating at this hospital is that for the next 16 weeks I get free breakfast and lunch as well as extra money for time spent on call.

While eating at one such lunch, I noticed one of the docs looking at me from across the room giving me the "I think I know you but I'm not positive look." I thought I recognized him from somewhere but had no clue where. He comes over and says "Did you go to St John's?"
"Yep"
"Are you the rat?"
"Ummm. yeah."

Turns out he played for Central in the early 2000's when SJU beat Central in the playoffs back to back years and he is a frequent lurker and reader on these boards. He knew I went to DMU and recognized me from the pic with my deer I posted a few months back. The even better news is that I'll probably be working with him at some point on my rotation and he hasn't been offended by any of my posts 

We talked a bit more and it turns out we go to the same church down here and he had seen me there.


Then I had to spend the next 10 min explaining to a female med student who was eating with me what he meant by calling me "the on-line rat."





On a side note, my 2nd cousin is now world famous since his Underwater Hockey team that he is the captain of has an article about themselves in today's NYTimes!

KR - I believe a lot of the stuff you write (okay, I believe at least some of it), but that's a real wopper.

So that's where you are on Friday nights.   8)

Hey, remember when d3football.com used to do a "Season in Review" feature at the end of the year?  That was awesome.

Believe me, I was as surprised as anyone that he wasn't offended. I'm kind of like South Park, stick around long enough and you're bound to be offended by something I post!

Actually, those are Saturday nights. Friday nights usually consist of Mrs KR and I either studying or going out to watch a movie or renting a movie and staying in.

Here are some recent movies we've seen along with my personal ratings/opinions:

Miami Vice (rented yesterday): This movie sucks worse than Collateral which I thought was the worst possible movie Jamie Fox could make. It had more characters than TDT's schizophrenic episodes and a plot that was as interesting as TDT's love-life.

We Are Marshall: GREAT FLICK! Must see for any football fan. Great story and an all around great film. The first 20 min are a better movie than most movies I have ever seen. Plus the clothes from the early 70's are awesome, they remind me of pics of my parents before I was born and the outfit TDT wore to my wedding.

Rocky Balboa: Pretty damn good flick considering Stalone is now 60. They did a good job making the plot line of a 55 year old dude fighting and hanging with a 25 year old Un-defeated champ somewhat believable. The best part as in all rocky movies was the training montage. After Rocky V, I had very low expectations for this movie and it far exceeded them. I personally can't wait for Rocky VII where Rocky battles the trifecta of erectile dysfunction, incontinence, and dimentia.

Pursuit of Happyness: I'm a big Will Smith fan, so I had to go see this flick. Not his funniest role ever, but a good message about getting back up after the world knocks you down and kicks you where it counts.

Invincible: Another great movie starring 1970's clothing, haircuts and nostalgia about getting back up when you're knocked down and believing in yourself (seems to be a theme this pseudo-winter). Wahlberg turns in a great performance that even had MrsKR cheering like she was watching an actual game near the end.

After a long sabbatical, I'm back on the board, lured out of my retirement by the previous post about movies. And for anyone who wants to see a classic drinking movie along the lines of Animal House and Old School, I highly suggest getting the movie BEERFEST.  Anyone who is a fan of drinking is for sure going to love it.

Beerfest is funny.  I was expecting a little more, but it is a good one.  It's the same guys from Super Troopers, so it was bound to be funny.

A song in honor of TDT and MR. Great way to start off the New Year on the MIAC board.

                                  IT'S THAT TIME

MR - I don't hate you.
I've learned too much for that.
I don't even blame you.
I'm just handing you your hat.
There isn't any 'other' on the MIACPP.
I don't have the heart,
to take another friend.
Even though I am TDT, I couldn't play the part.

                                     Chorus

So-play a tune on your guitar.
Keep on following your Bethel star.
It's time to sort through what we know,
remember where you had to go, can you say 0-4?
Find our light and let it shine.
Both of us are feeling low.
Me, watching the Johnnies lose to the WarHawks,
the Royals keeping their playoff record of no wins intact.
So - MR, it's just time to go.
We gotta move on down the line.
It's that time, it's that time.
MR, it's that time.

As TDT, I need to take myself somewhere,
walk on down the road,
till I can breathe some good, fresh air,
and find my way back to Collegeville.
So - MR, pack the memories and any dreams of playoff thrills,
the good ones you can find,
I'll take what means most to me, so many playoff wins,
and some I'll leave behind.

Since I'm known to be all about football, I thought I'd call your attention to this item in today's Daily Planet...

Looks like Gagliardi gets another free trip to a warmer spot.

[Touchdown Tommy]

Ok Touchdown Tommy here, much apologies to my dedicated fan club for the prolonged absence (sun is shining, sipping an iced tea, working diligently).  Any word on if the toxic cleanup has been completed along Hwy 29 near Wausau?  So what else is new (besides the usual KR and Godfather rips on TDT)?  Any big time recruits DSJU?  Go Big Red.

Take the Gators tonite.  You won't be sorry.  That is how TDT rolls...

FW: MasterCard Wedding

You gotta love this guy... This is a true story about a recent wedding that took place at Clemson University . It was in the local newspaper and even Jay Leno mentioned it.

It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests.  After the wedding at the reception, the groom got up on stage with a microphone to  talk to the crowd.  He said he wanted to thank everyone for coming, many from long distances, to support them at their wedding.  He especially wanted to thank the bride's and his family and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception.

As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give everyone a special gift just from him. So taped to the bottom of everyone's chair, including the wedding party, was an envelope. He said this was his gift to everyone, and asked them to open their envelope.

Inside each manila envelope was an 8 x 10 glossy of his bride having sex with the best man. The groom had gotten suspicious of them weeks earlier and had hired a private detective to tail them.  

After just standing there, just watching the guests' reactions for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said "F--- you".  Then he turned to his bride and said, "F--- you ". Then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, "I'm Outta here." He had the marriage annulled first thing in the morning.  

While most people would have canceled the wedding immediately after finding out about the affair, this guy goes through with the charade, as if nothing were wrong.  His revenge...making the bride's parents pay over $32,000 for a 300 guest wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the  bride's and best man's reputations in front of 300 friends and family members. This guy has balls the size of church bells.

Do you think we might get a Master Card "priceless" Commercial out of this:

Elegant wedding reception for 300 family members and  friends...$32,000.
Wedding photographs commemorating the occasion ... $3,000.
Deluxe two week honeymoon accommodations in Maui ... $8,500.
The look on everyone's face when they see the 8 x 10 glossy of the bride humping the best man..........Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's MasterCard

See, folks?  That's how you get things done.

I'm looking forward to giving it a read.
