They would, but it voids the warranty (both the pads and the car)...

But when the midday downpour happened, about 60% of the crowd said "f*** this" and bailed, so it was pretty quiet, plenty of good seats for the super mongo-huge "challenge caber" competition (which was temporarily interrupted to find a new caber when Wout Zylstra snapped the sucker in half on a throw). After not taking the camera out of the bag once on Saturday, I burned three rolls today.

Wow, what happened to this page..!? Looks like Ricardo got a whole weekend's worth of posts down in one stream of conciousness..! What happened to the trifectas and hat tricks, R?

Had to get it all out of the system. No interweb up in Lincoln, all I had to get online with was my Treo, and trying to read much of mini2 on that was a pain, so I just saved it all up. Binge and purge. Plus I knew I'd be waaaay past a mere hat trick...

How did your couch rate..? Is this the same one that survived the flooded apartment..? Does that make it more desireable to goalies?

Something tells me "smile and nod" isn't part of Pat's repertoire. Maybe "laugh maniacally". Although it was discovered that if you give him a detailed, mechanical task to work on, he becomes earily quiet for a little while.

So, where does one find "Simple Pink"?

We are very upset that we missed the breaking of a caber. Next year this will not be missed!

While we were watching the games I remarked that usually people go to sports events that they could potentially play (or do) like baseball, there have been many a drunk overweight men that try to play that game (or its sister softball). But there is no way that anyone could do any of the things that they were doing. I couldn't ever see getting myself to the point that I could toss a 15-20lb bag of hay over 32 feet in the air, throw a 100lb stone or pick up and toss the equivolent of a telephone pole. It was very exciting (as stated before).

No more games talk.
Today at Staples I had a customer ask if we sell syringes. I thought that was the winner of things that customers believe Staples should carry. He wanted it to fill the inkpots of his inkjet printer.
So the lesson: Think before you ask.

Thank you for your support

My couch has been well received. But it's never been flooded, as far as I know (could be a repressed memory thing, I suppose). You must have me confused with another goalie!

Yeah, you would have said that for any place north of Chelmsford!

The highland games are an international competition, my boy. Had a Zylstra from the Netherlands (or the Nether Regions, as I believe Beth said), a guy from Iceland, etc. As long as they wear a kilt and can lift a caber, they're welcome. We're "big tent" people. At this very moment, Louis is working on designing the MacCassorla tartan...

That's not godlike. Somewhere above a mortal but below a god, but not quite Dodekatheon material...

I don't know that Louis' looming skills are up to snuff to create a tartan for his new Scottish moniker. It may end up looking alot like the MacLeod tartan. maybe he should just adopt the utilikilt as his tartan, I think the purple boxing type would do just fine. Speaking of which did you end up getting a utilikilt? What about Rob (hope I got his name right, one syllable names I am no good with).
