At a site I post on, during the final game of the play-offs, someone posted Go Penis!!!

Ooops - she got an extra letter in there.

We have been razzin' her ever since.

Told her we're going to make her head cheerleader...

Anybody else watching the MLB allstar game coverage stuff on Fox?

Its the last ever all-star game at the old Yankee stadium....

they laid out a red carpet all on the street, and are having a parade, with past players, and current players....

Its f'n insane.... I love it...

and Morneau won the home run derby last night!!!!!

Hamilton was insane though....

he hit like 28 homers, in one round, to break the record.... a couple of them went completely out of the stadium.... I think one of them was like 518 feet, or something like that....

that sucker is probably still orbiting....

Down to nine in the WSOP. Commence the final table delay and start up the hype machine. One of the nine guys I watched play poker the last couple of days will become the next WSOP champion.

FINAL TABLE PLAY IS IN NOVEMBER

Dennis Phillips, Craig Marquis, Ylon Schwartz, Scott Montgomery, Darus Suharto, David 'Chino' Rheem, Ivan Demidov, Kelly Kim, and Peter Eastgate.

It's gonna take a while before we find out which one of them will become poker's next celebrity.

Why is the final table in Nov? Doesn't that defeat Benny's original point - last person standing wins the title? Having a 4 mo. break doesn't seem in the spirit of the event.

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID

Unless they can advocate for online poker and get that stupid law reversed.

WHY?! are they holding this off til November?

talk about giving the guys an edge against their competition.

Now they can study each others moves over the next few months by knowing who is gonna be at the table.

I can see waiting a week or even 1 month! but no longer than that.

Usually Nov-Dec before Christmas is a slow time in Vegas, so maybe it's a way to increase tourism too.

Hey, I went to a lot of the St. Paul Parks (in one day) during the medallion hunt and took pictures in front of all the park signs.

Maybe we can do a photo slide show of Kitch in front of all the donut counters?

Now, using multiple Holiday and SA gas stations would be too easy - we've got to think this through... What other stops could we make? The cool ones are the bakeries that have their names on the wall above the pastry counters - then you can get the store name AND the donuts in the same shot. Oh, and Kitch too... :wink:

not only let me play, but let me play in minnesota?

hey, i bleed purple as much as the next guy, but i would not mind in the least having him here. right now, if i were zygi, assuming i were really looking to get my hands on him, i'd be wishing i'd have signed the dome up for renovations that would make one of the loudest stadiums in the nfl even louder.

I'll make sure to remind you of that post, Kitch, when in a week he's wearing purple and you're proclaiming him a quarterback Jesus. :pbpt:

IF he does play here, it'll be for like 1-2 seasons, then he'll retire for real....

the Vikings are like an old folks home for quarterbacks....

Mad_Dach5und

Brad Johnson, Tommy Kramer (well, he played like an old man), Wade Wilson, Jeff George, Warren Moon, Jim McMahon... holy crap!

The Vikes have been playing with fossils for several years! We NEED Favre - if anything to keep the old fart QB streak alive!
Thu, 07/31/2008 - 1:16 PM Permalink
Wicked Nick

and Randall Cunningham...

yes, he may have been good for a while... but still...

he was old, and out of the game, until the Vikings picked him up.

If we cant get Favre, they should atleast make a play for Joe Montana...

atleast that way they wont have to deal with this whole - "you're talking to a guy, who's under contract", deal....

Ken Griffey Jr. traded to Chicago White Sox

looks like they fear the Twins, that much huh?

This might actually work in his favor though... he's never been to a world series....

atleast he didnt go to the Yankees....

gonna be fun to watch though....

havent seen him play in person, since he played for Seattle

He's going to break it anyways... whether that fool is there or not...

You ever think it's possible during those long distance swims athletes lose bladder control? Think about all those marathoners that crap in their pants because they don't want to stop... :eyeroll: Hmmmm

If I was hosting the meet - I'd be 'shocking' that pool every damn night.

<--- seconds zeph's thoughts....

although as they say, having a no peeing section in a pool is a lot like having a no smoking section in a restaurant. somehow the stuff you don't want in always seems to get in anyway. i was telling the girls at the pool last weekend that i remember asking the building engineer at the y when i worked there when we were gonna start putting the urine detecting chemicals into our pool. his response: "never. the whole pool would be orange. we'd have customers coming in asking what it was and our only response would be 'hot spot'"

no... but you should hear some of the myths that we've come up with, out there....

- we actually refer to it as "The Rivler", due to a drunken slur by Steve, several years ago...

- it was decided that the rivler flows in a circle, and the campgrounds are on a huge island.... thats the only way to explain how some people float past you 2 or 3 times, in one day.

no. they dont get off, and start tubing again, from up river. thats unheard of.

- you only get to camp on one side of the rivler, because the other side is guarded by an evil beast, known only as The Assquatch (he's earned this name, because he's bathed in enough crapwater, to smell like ass, for eternity)

there are more...
