For some, this distinction might fall in the dubious category, but not for the good men of TWMAC...

Just more incentive for the Big Grease Burger Eating Contest of 2012.

And you guys should jump at the chance to partner with Lady Topaz in mixed; she's a good partner who more than holds her own.

as for saying monkey has been 4.0 for a long time. i have a learning disorder that makes it really difficult to improve. i guess next you want to make fun of me for still being in the 7th grade even though i have a wife, mortgage and 2 kids. screw you dood - 7th grade is effing hard!

HA - there is a 3rd team from your neck of the woods, we are actually playing our first round robin match in Columbia against our "teammates" these three guys actually are my practice partners too, kind of like playing you last year...

entry fee paid by partner, you know me....

***Side note****ran in to that guy who used to be a member, forget his name but he told me the 14 oz bandit from STRONG Island hasput the APB out on him

Schap, good luck! I was looking at it but then decided to not spend the $$$. Glad I didn't because the next day I got a huge assignment given to me that is due Tuesday. So that's how I'm spending my weekend!

Downs, monkey, JR, and Paul...if you guys are interested email me through my profile.

I wish you asked me earlier. I committed to a 7.5 team already and he's a friend so I can't back out. Maybe next year?

-BTW-I'm liking the play of the Don (cocks hat to the side)

Xisbum · 09-05-2011, 07:28 AM

We did. That was when a bunch of us (not me...too scared!) had that Thai dish, some kind of exploded chicken, afterward. Dats is still recovering I think.

I asked a month in advance. Guess you're a hot commodity Striker.

I plan on playing 8.5 next year! (aaaand...just jinxed myself)

Me too. Apparently TC is having a little contractual fight with Verizon and Cablevision.

TC has some sort of contract deal with a cable association to position their programming as part of basic cable but Verizon and Cablevison don't want to do that.

Hope they work it out soon or I may be switching to Direct TV.
