After all these years I got an indication that Mrs. 57 might keep me. We went and bought our cemetery lots today     although...................
she hesitated slightly when the lady asked if we wanted them together 

Just as long as she didn't already order the tombstone - complete with date of death!

My pessimistic grandparents bought their cemetery plots and tombstone in some sort of a package deal in the early 90's. I was about 10 when I discovered them hidden in their basement beneath a dust covered sheet. Kinda gave me the creeps.

The pessimistic part is they already had the 19__ in the year space for date of passing... needless to say that had that corrected, but waited until about 2002 to do it.

I read somewhere (don't recall where, and won't vouch for the accuracy) that hundreds of thousands of tombstones had to have 19__ corrected!  Sometimes planning ahead ain't too smart!

And if Mrs. 57 had it inscribed '2008', I'd be very nervous!

Ya if you or your wife purchased more life insurance on you and she put 2008 on the tombstone you better watch what is in your coffee and food.

For the cobbers to win they must accomplish 3 things:
1) Have a successful ground game, this should open up passing options
2) The defensive backfield needs to play this year
3) Think they can win at Clemens Stadium

I think the Cobbers will accomplish them all after last weeks win

Prediction:

CC 27
SJU 24

TC-I will have your case of PBR saturday morning.

I will state with some confidence that everyone reading this can get a tombstone with 20__ inscribed on it without much worry.

Speak for yourself!  Though born in 1948, I'm aiming for 21something, then get shot by a jealous husband!

As you may have guessed, my wife never reads this board!

hey cobbernation....

good luck to you and the cobbers this weekend...

but, I must say that I saw the cobbers win more than their share of the games against the johnnies in the 60s and 70s...so I'm going with ........

Please keep it well hidden (and I'm not referring to problems with Life-Safety )

Just got word that Governor Pawlenty and the First Lady will not be making it to the Bethel-SJU game on October 4. Anyone out there have connections with Sarah Palin, who will be in Blaine today with John McCain? It would be wonderful to have her stick around and make it to the Stiftungsfestivities tomorrow and then congratulate coach Gagliardi on his record setting 589th game as a college coach. She could also present him with a bottle of the "Whump Ass" chardonnay that is now on the market with her picture on the bottle in a bikini holding a shotgun after the game in recognition of the Johnnies whumping the cobbers.

Retagent,  I am immortal.  I'm kind of like Duncan Mcloud from the clan Mcloud in "Highlander".  I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings, I have no rival, no man can be my equal.  Oh yeah, I change my mind on my SJU/Cobbs prediciton.  With Nelson at qb for the Cobbs (the white tarvaris of d3) I think they lose to the tune of 28-13.

It's Friday, right? +K to the usual suspects. Cubs magic number 2 and SJU will cover tomorrow.
57-hold down the fort tomorrow, my son's game is at 1:30, so no internet coverage of SJU for me.

Mrs. 57 and I considered the Abbey Cemetery, however................
I want my friends to pour a quart of single malt over my grave and I figured the monks wouldn't like it when they passed it through their kidneys on the way.

Got it as long as I have stanbob there to help keep bennie under control 
I have plenty of Redenbacher's left since I only needed the first of a 10 pack for the UWRF game. May need more than one for the Cobbers. 

[LBean]

Wooderson, I'll be there tomorrow.   Stop by.

Ritz,
Nice job on the preview. Who is your ghost writer? We all know that linemen can't write a complete sentence.

I'll be here 57.  I got to thinking though that Bennie may have to send her Official Hannah Montana watch to Oz to ensure him making it on time    Or should we give him one more week?

Cubs number is 2, but Soto on the way to the hospital for an x ray on his hand as we speak.
