reason #98: SU fans have more than enough snow, they don't need to drive to dang IN to see snow and throw snowballs

reason #99, those pansies play in a DOMED STADIUM.

[Argh]

I'm pleased to have been of service.

[secret garden]

Oops. You caught me skimming a post. Or maybe I was trying to "negotiate" you down.

[xsmommy]

i am agog that you have not heard of GOODNIGHT MOON! that is like THE childhood staple of my kids!

[secret garden]

Football is still better. Ru-dy! Ru-dy! Ru-dy!

[Argh]

Women. Always wanting me to go down.

Maybe you should put the 20 bucks towards an ad for the Preds to lose those vomit coloured jerseys.

[secret garden]

And when else would they get the chance to nail the little effeminate dude in green tights with an ice ball? A priceless opportunity, worth smuggling snow into a domed stadium.

have you ever seen the tv commercial for ND where the girl is lighting candles in church and then gets the acceptance letter from ND? xshub and i screamed aloud in disgust the first time we ever saw that. i have hated ND since 1974. with a passion.

[xsmommy]

xshub finally coughs up detes. 9:30 on ESPN.

[secret garden]

No, because we refuse to watch their games. They show all of their football games here instead of Aggie games. The head honchos on our stations must be from ND.

[Gabz]

Sorry.

[Gabz]

Doesn't ring any bells at all.

i feel like i have to send a copy to Jax for Christmas, even though it is a book for a younger child, since you have clearly DEPRIVED HER!! ; )

there were a bunch of us from my HS who went to Pitt. one of our number went to ND, she was in the marching band. they came to Pitt for the Pitt-ND game freshman year. The ND band was full of THE MOST OBNOXIOUS PEOPLE ON THE PLANET. we beat them that year (we had tony dorsett-- at the time, still pronounced DOR-sett) we were thrilled.

i think the class should adjourn to the bathroom for a NOSE WASH....

[Argh]

I was just going to post that to Grimmy.

Gabz, the next time you are at a Walmart or a bookstore, take a minute to look for "Goodnight Moon" - it is a sweet children's story that is just saying goodnight to everything - the moon comes up and shadows change in the room - it is so calming -I still love the book.

It is odd that someone would alter a picture from 60 years ago -

[Gabz]

LOL!!!

Considering they mention the 60th anniversary of the book, you should be sending it to me, because I was obviously deprived :)

I still have a copy of "Goodnight Moon" in one of the boxes of books I haven't unpacked, along with the other books my daughter liked as a child-now you guys have me wanting to dig it out and read it-I read the Hank the Cowdog books and Ray Bradbury's "Halloween Tree" sometimes just because they are neat stories.
