I AM A FOND OF THE GROUP CIBO LLIRIA, TEAM THAT HAD REGISTERED YOUR STARS, DAUSKAS AND AMERLIANOVICH. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SEND ME STATISTICAL AND INFORMATION OR THEM, AND TO BE POSSIBLE ADDRESSES OR LINKS WHERE TO BE ABLE TO SEE VIDEO OF THEIR PLAYING.

Send your emailer my congratulations!  He came closer on Adam's and Keelan's names first try than some posters did after three years!

That brings us a good point.  I wonder how those names will be pronounced in Spanish.

  I also think that we as human beings have become too thin skinned, we need to develop a thicker skin and not be insulted by others ignorance.

I suppose its easy to say some are too thin skinned when you're not on the receiving end of the insult.

I have been on both ends of insults, probably more on the receiving end than most who know me would imagine.  I am speaking from experience.

When are NPU tuition deposits required to be considered enrolled for the fall term?  Just curious when we'll know the final list of recruits - particularly the transfers.

Did Phoebe Cates go to a CCIW school or are you attempting to offend the rest of us

It could be right up to the last minute in late August. As Rob Berki will attest, NPU has a tradition of acquiring very late transfers.

"I like seriously almost had a..."

Can someone translate, please?

[mr_b]

"I like seriously almost had a..."

Can someone translate, please?

Into which language?

I think he means that he would like the statement translated into non-Californian... I would assume he knows the definition of conniption.

In the future I will remember that we are not friends here, and that all statements must be made in formal/gramatically correct English.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Now, April, don't take it so personally!  Even if you have morphed into a 'valley girl', most of us still love you!

I like seriously almost had a conniption when I saw emeritusprof's post!  What's next - are we gonna start kritasizing eech uthers' speeling?

Yes. "Speelling" is always speelled with two L's, except in some counties in northern California.

[diehardfan]

speaking of e's... check this out...

There lies an entire 50,000+ word story written without any e's! I believe that has to be the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

I'm not a valley girl, that won't ever happen. I am daily grateful, however, that God did not make me blond. Because of that fact, I get to claim that I am a budding absent minded professor, rather than a ditz.

Stereotyping? Shame. 

[Knightstalker]

Like whatever

[emeritusprof]

Know what I mean?
