Hey, you should be happy. The Yankees are in first place but the Rangers are improved.
Its almost summer vacation for you Baja.
OUinFla is ALWAYS on summer vacation.

I edited your post since I KNOW that's what you really meant to say!
And you are just jealous that I have 4 days left - but the kids get out early on Friday, so it will be like a half day!
I can hardly wait for things to slow down for OUinFla so he can post more....
Still looking for my new OESD. Sly was adopted..... sigh.
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo! #1!

Ah hem......check my post count! Now, I know I am no thunder, but then my fingers are older and get tired easily. Perhaps one of the reasons I am having to work as much as I am lately is because of the initial race to get to 3 stars???
Nah, that cant be.
I am looking for a break in my life within 2 weeks.
I'm ready to not look at this thread anymore.
It would make my day if Admin would lock this worthless
steamer and dock everyone's post count in the "ender"
thread X2.
It could be worse ...we could make this thread a poll.
BTW, have a drink. Its too early to be this bitter.
My kids rock the flock!
Poll?
Did someone say poll?
So bitter, so jealous. Hey, if this thread didn't exist, I wouldn't know about Baja's being dangerous to be around, Thunder's over the top love for golf, and TU's knack for finding the most trivial of trivia. I say if the guys that look at this post don't like it, they can let it die a natural death. Haha!
I'm working up a Rondo thirst.
So anyway, I am watching the Wizard of Oz with my kid for the bajillianth time and I rewound a few parts to catch some things that I haven't caught before. There were some awfully biggy wordies in that movie and I did some further research... yes, I am a dork.
There is a site that has these words listed as the vocabulary of Oz. This makes me feel dumb.
pusillanimous - lacking courage and resolution
Used: "Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the earth,
or slinks through slimy seas has a brain!"
(The Wizard before giving the Scarecrow his Diploma)
__________________________________________________ __________
aver - to confirm as authentic
Used: "As Coroner, I must aver, I thoroughly examined her,
And she's not only merely dead, She's really most sincerely dead."
(The Coroner, singing in Munchkinland, verifying the death of the
Wicked Witch of the East)
__________________________________________________ __________
cruller- a small, sweet cake in the form
of a twisted strip fried in deep fat
Used: "Here, here - can't work on an empty stomach.
Have some crullers."
(Aunt Em speaking to the farmhands before Dorothy goes to Oz)
__________________________________________________ __________
beneficent- performing acts of kindness and charity
Used: "The beneficient Oz has every intention
of granting your requests!"
(The Wizard speaking to the four as they first meet)
__________________________________________________ __________
The following words were used in
"If I Were King of the Forest" (sung by the lion)
----------------------------------
chintz - a printed calico from India/glazed
printed cotton fabric
Used: "Would be satin, not cotton, not chintz"
_______________________
genuflect - to touch the knee to the floor in worship
Used: "The chipmunks genuflect to me"

Hottentot - a member of a people of southern Africa
apparently akin to both the
Bushmen and the Bantus
Used: "What makes the Hottentot so hot?"
__________________________________________________ __________
caliginous - black, misty, dark
Used: "You dare to come to me for a heart, do you?
You clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk!"
(The Wizard speaking to the Tin Man as the foursome first meet him)
__________________________________________________ __________
affrontery - to insult to the face by behavior or language
Used: "And you, Scarecrow, have the affrontery
to ask for a brain..."
(The Wizard speaking to the Scarecrow as the
foursome first meet him)

Used: "Therefore, for meritorious conduct, extraordinary valor,
conspicuous bravery against wicked witches, I award you the Triple Cross."
(The Wizard awarding the Lion with his medal after
melting the Wicked Witch)

Are you arguing for or against the thread?
Just stopped by to say Hi. The rain is never ending these days here in Tigerville. The water is almost up to the bridge to my house. Last time that happened was Tropical Storm Allison, they closed the bridge and the whole town was flooded and it was hell getting the kid to day camp and to work. So much water.
Hey TG-
I made 3 (count 'em) trips to Red Stick this weekend. I even drove right by Tiger Stadium under construction (I only gagged a little!) and Alex Box (replete with tailgater's under tents in the rain). Saturday, my youngest played half a state-cup semifinal game before the storms hit. Then we got to come back at about 7:30 SUuday AM to finish the game (and lose to a Batom Rouge team). My oldest can't play yet after knee repair, but she wanted to see her team in the championship game at 3. Nobody wanted to wait all day, so we went home and then she & I came back....just in time to hear that the game was rained out. And to think I spent all season bragging about how soccer is not affected much by the weather....mmmm, mmmm. Aren't we close to the record??
You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.

Is this it?

Or is this the record-breaking post? Where that Fake Don Dokken when you need him? Wasn't he the one that knew the record?

I coulda sworn the record was 138-something.
