Last night during my FF draft... someone said they wish they could draft Andre the Giant.

I said "anybody want a peanut?" and nobody knew what the f**k I was talking about.

a -- they are not old enuff to remember princess bride?
b -- they are not american?
c -- you need new friends?

who did you draft?

lunch today was lumpia, pansit and rice.

Topaz · Sep 5, 2012

Definitely C.

That looks yummy. I've only had coffee so far.

And no dinner last night. Did 12 hours of clinical and then a singles match. Which, was not my brightest idea, but I got lucky and had an easy match. But my plantar fasciitis flared up badly and I'm hobbling around like an 80 yr old today.

hollywood9826 · Sep 5, 2012

PF sucks.

For some reason mind has subsided. Im not complaining though. I did a good bit of strecthing with towel thing. But I think time just helped more than anything. But not a doctor or nurse or involved in the medical profession in anyway. So who knows really why it stopped.

Also

Dats

apparently they will let ANYBODY become a parent.. no questions asked!
nobody asked for my rap sheet or an iq test or nuthin!

but j-woww is the real boss. she risked her life to bring
our little princess into the world.
she's on bedrest for 1-2 weeks cuz her blood pressure
went through the roof. we resisted all of the orders
that jwoww get epidural, pitocin, and magnesium sulfate
and we had a natural birth. maybe we were crazy cuz the
docs said we were but they both made it!
bp was 180/120 and it is still in the 160s/100s range now.
j could have a stroke or seizure any moment now but
if she chills in bed like queen of sheba then everything hopefully
will be ok. im actually doing chores and doing cooking and cleaning
etc as well as changing stinky diapers. it SUX but i guess i gotta
grow up a little bit now. maybe
the baby is awesome and rarely cries so that is a real BLESSING!
shes kind of cute too!
we made such friends with the delivery nurse cuz she helped keep the
med-crazy doctors away from us that she is coming over to our house to
give the baby a present! the nurses were almost all amazing but the docs were almost all terrible.
wish us luck... not sure what to do with these 2hours on/2hours off deal especially since i dont have boobs. well i sorta do but no milk.
time to sell my racquets. although i did get out for some horrible basketball tonight.
how jrs is doing this with twins and a toddler i have no idea. unlike mckayla, i am impressed!

thanks guys! i do feel like the boss-man!

Congrats Dats!

Wow - scary, glad to hear everyone is healthy.

Pitch in as much as you can - Jwowww will love you for it.

As for 2 off / 2 on - try bottling the breast milk - means you can give the wife a rest and help with the feedings.

Don't sell the rackets yet - if you only have one you can do tag team baby care and still get out on the courts occasionally, especially after the kiddo gets on a schedule and starts sleeping through the night.

a -- they knew who Andre the Giant was, so they couldn't be too young.
b -- I'm guessing they were American... the draft was through the interwebs.
c -- They were my younger brother's friends from college.

I picked Janikowski for my kicker... that's all I remember.

That food looks good. There was a Filipino place up the street near me but they moved closer to Springfield.

datsveryinterestin · Sep 5, 2012

3.5 days old. still not sleeping thru the night! unbelievable the nerve of this kid!
meconium gone! YAY! but now 12 diapers instead of 3. BOO!

goin to play b-ball now and tennis tomorrow.
this week is going MUCH easier than i ever thought.
prolly when everyone stops visiting and bringing food and
helping with chores and its dark and cold outside i will not
be as thrilled.. but so far... this is CAKE! <woot>

i like holding my little 6lb football while watching tv or listening
to music. too bad they have to grow up. sigh.

tennismonkey said:
congrats dats! no more rhyming and i mean it. anybody want a peanut?

topaz from your vantage point you must not have seen my 10 double faults. yes 10 in a 2 set dubs match.

zap/sobad -- i feel like i'm missing out on some awesome joke. but that joke is in martian.

cb -- i had probably 6 big chunks of goat plus the bone and tendons. so probably not huge portions. but they do have a well priced lunch buffet during the week and weekend. i didn't go last night but tonight it's on!

I have a 2pm AA meeting tomorrow.

tennischemist said:
Georgetown's outdoor courts suck though, are the lessons in the bubble in Yates?

I haven't been inside Yates in ages.

They removed the roof and replaced it with a bubble? Talk about economic crisis and bleeding hoya blue...

coolblue123 · Sep 5, 2012

I heard comic con is this weekend at balt. anyone going?

The_Question · Sep 5, 2012

So I see nothing really had changed around here, still talking about food as always!

Recently bought this 90's collectible car as a daily driver...

Any meet going on?

coolblue123 · Sep 5, 2012

Speaking of food. Co-workers and I went to Rosa Mexicano. They continued Restaurant Week:

sorry for the cloudy pics. Phone Camera Lens was alittle dirty.

Topaz · Sep 5, 2012

Oh TM. Thanks for the encouraging fist pumps. We turned it around but a little too late. Lost 10-7 in the tb. My foot is totally farked.

TheJRK · Sep 6, 2012

Get kneed (by accident) in the eye at practice last night = fail.

Get home and see Cowboys are winning = win.

Should have drafted Ogltree = fail.

Drafted Demarco Murray = win.

Not too bad.

Sup - Do you want me to send you some of my Cowboys sweat bands? I have a lot.

tennismonkey · Sep 6, 2012

topaz -- sorry you couldn't pull out the W last night. your partner hit just about everything hard. they didn't always go in, but she hit with authority. i like her moxy. i need to learn to swing away with gusto.

JRK -- i didn't know you were a cowboys fan. i thought all this time you had good taste. it's almost as disappointing as googling andre the giant yesterday to see what he's been up to and finding out he died like 20 years ago.

sobad -- the mister two is a fun car to drive. i'm afraid to google the MR2 because i'm pretty sure that also died like 20 years ago.

CB -- that mexican food looks yum. they seem to like throwing around that sour cream though. went back to my curry kingdom. had their tikki misala and butter chicken. it was yum. i'm going to do my best to make sure that place stays around. my neighbors right next door are indian so i'm considering knocking on their door and making it worth their while to make me awesome food and leave it at my front door.

Yeah, I come from a Navy family.

Grandfather & Father were Navy (and so was I) --> Roger Staubach was Navy --> went to the Cowboys --> family moved from Philippines to here and decided to cheer for Cowboys --> I was born here and was brainwashed into being a Cowboys fan. My mom used to dress me up as a Cowboy (hat, guns, assless chaps, etc.) for every game. She would dress my sister up as a Cowboys cheerleader. My little brother was dressed up as an Indian (Redskin) and I would beat him mercilessly.

tennismonkey · Sep 6, 2012

JRK -- don't make it seem that being a cowboys fan is a navy thing. my grandfather was a master chief electrician in the navy, my dad was a seabee in the navy and i was an armed forces broadcaster in the navy. i root for the redskins because it keeps me humble and grounded - a lot like the redskins offense for the past 20 years.

i believe xisbum is also ex-navy. he probably roots for the chiefs or rams.

Heh heh...yeah she played a year of D1 before she had to quit and have surgery on her elbow. Self rated 4.0, played a year, got bumped to 3.5 where she was stuck for a while, then moved back up to 4.0, did NOT get bumped last year (woot woot) and thus ended up as Downs' mixed partner. Hahaha!

We were both off last night, which is a recipe for potential disaster. Its somewhat impressive that we didn't lose by more!

I will go hit their lunch buffet morrow, the place doesn't seem big. how many tables are in there?

it's pretty small. you may be asked to sit on a stranger's lap or eat outside on the curb.

also i think the london's are hypnotic. i've had 2 matches and 1 practice session and i have not yet tested out your awesome string jobs on the mfil 300's. i am literally unable to put the london down. i keep one by my bed and hold it to fall asleep. true story.

I'm just providing background on why I'm a Cowboys fan. I lot of people ask me "Why are you a Cowboys fan if you're from Hawaii?" I usually reply "Because this is America motherf***er!" and kick them in the junk.

I guess it's called crazy monkey love?
If you like the London, you have to try the NYC. I was watching fed match with it last night. Wifey is officially calling the stick the mistress of the house.

Just re-found a new love for sardines.
My fav brand:

Was so surprised that Costco was selling. Any other brand I should try?

datsveryinterestin · Sep 6, 2012

nice one Monkey! humble and grounded like the DC tribal honorary team with name i cannot get myself to say. id be all about this team if they had the chutzpah to realize the name is totally racist. just go back to the arrow on the helmet too. geez. i think they are wearing awesome retro unis for a few games this season that is what they should always wear. but i guess "true fans" would disagree with me. bah. maybe i just should be a Falcons fan cuz i like their colors.

madden 13 reviews anyone? i just want to play as RG3 but most reviews say the game sort of suxors. 60bucks too.. bah. ill just keep shooting on BF3 or sumn i guess

was going to play tennis today but then it rained. phew. i was worried id have to dust off my racquets and embarrass myself. saved for another day.

have i mentioned i make the BEST lasagna? glad i made 2 of them while jwoww was beginning to moan in pain. keeping us well fed for weeks prolly! dunno why it tastes so good but i did splurge and by some fancy sauce for the special occasion.

looks like i get baby duty from 5-8am which is totally NOT my normal waking hours but dealing with is ok for now. i just hold the baby and play different songs on spotify and see which ones she likes.
all i can say is thank goodness for swaddleme blankets.
i even wore the bjorn this morning while i did some chores... but drinking hot coffee while wearing bjorn is recipe for disaster! dont worry, i figured it out before causing 3rd degree burns on little baby!

guess its back to bed or sumthin.. l8rz

tennismonkey · Sep 6, 2012

dats -- agreed on the racist team name but they missed the chance to come up with an awesome new team name when the bullets changed to the wizards. they could've become the washington foreskins.

baby bjorn + travel coffee mug + metal drinking straw = profit?

datsveryinterestin · Sep 6, 2012

go foreskins! super bowl bound.. unstoppable! best team ever.
ok, now the season can start and we can see how bad they are again.
go "raljon/ashburn area native american tribal tributary team"
HAIL!

i've been patiently waiting for sappy to show up at my door with a few slabs of these:

sigh...

even a food report would be nice from his travels... but NO. nothing! geez

Yup, ex-Navy spy, used to be Baltimore Colts fan until they slipped away in the darkness to Indiana in the back of a pickup truck. Kinda still like them, but jumped on the Rams' bandwagon when they won SB XXXIV, despite my friendship with Roger the Dodger. We go way back; covered his last game as a Cowboy, playoff loss to, ha, LA Rams, Dec. 30, 1979.

The new maps are a lot of fun. I don't like the fact that it takes 5 stinger missiles to shoot down the AC-130 though. I suck at using any of the vehicles so I just run around and plant mines everywhere and shoot down airplanes.

My wife usually gets Titus Sardines to eat with Kenkey (fermented maize meal) and hot pepper paste (****o). Don't know how they stack up to your brand though. Usually have to run to the African store to pick them up.

Did you try the demo. I haven't played Madden in years so I has no clue what was going on. I played on rookie level so I managed a few 50 yard runs for touch-down.

Armored Kill for BF3 looks pretty cool though. Borderlands 2 also looks good. All this really doesn't matter since I have 0 time to play any games. Seems like one of the twins is always awake on watch during nap time.

I have not liked any football game since Super Tecmo Bowl. That game and The Nigerian Nightmare are the main reason I still like the Chiefs.

I got Borderlands 2 one preorder. One was tons of fun I got it late though so didnt really do much with it online, by the time I played it the modders had taken over. I was tempted to pull out the old hex-workshop as well. But I just played somethign else. Never did finish fallout even though Im like at 110 hours. Side quests are distracting in that game. Main reason I never got the newest elder scrolls.

You coment the stash but not the blazer. Theyare both pretty sweet.

They released the Arcade version of Tecmo Bowl on XBL. But it doesnt have the NFL guys.

They need to release Super Tecmo bowl. maybe slightly upgrade the graphics and add the online play to it. for 1200 points poeple would buy the heck out of it. but they need to have the old players in it. Okeye could break like 500 tackles in a row in that game. It would suck to have to play it with these new guys without cool niknames.

If I cant do this I dont want it.

Sweet score on the tix. Check Serena while you can I dont think she can dominate forever. But who knows.

see lots of horses but i don't see any being prepared in tasty dishes.

i'd like to request a pic of you serving a tennis ball into the grand canyon.

Sappy, great pictures! Thanks for sharing...and I think my bucket list just got longer.

Angle Queen · Sep 7, 2012

Nice pics, Sap. Glad to know I'm not the only one who snaps photos of their food.

When I have a bit more time, I'll write on the mind-blowing Asian market I went to down in NC. I could get lost in there. Seriously. I'm determined to gather every wild/exotic recipe/ingredients from my library here at home so next time I go visit Sis, I can go Shopping. Cha-Ching.

Also, finally had the opportunity to checkout an Aldi. Sigh. Wish we had one here.
