The ***OFFICIAL*** Friday/Saturday Night Singles' Thread

Jan. 13 and 14th, 2006

Obligatory cute animal pic! (the kid is pretty cute too)

FRmail me if you want on or off the F/S Singles' Thread Ping List. It will only be used for pinging to the official thread, and will never be used for any other purpose.

This is a thread for singles, not a thread about the misery of singleness -- no moping allowed! :-)

Do you remeber when we all send valentine days cards to Dan Rather?

Roses are red
violet are blue
I watch FOX and not you

And other silly stuff

[apackof2]

I have an idea that will maybe be some fun if anyone is interested.

Go for it!

[day10]

Actually, your tag line would fit right into the game. :-)

[scott7278]

I thought it was important to put that as a guideline, IMHO -- no need for a pity party!

That's no fun for anyone.

[day10]

Hey Scott - hope all is well with you!

[WalterSkinner]

I wasn't in on that one, but even back then the wheels were starting to come off for Rather. I'm sure the Valentines from some conservative activists warmed his heart.

[scott7278]

Yes, it is. How was the volleyball game tonight?

[RosieCotton]

Ah, OK! I went to a movie like that once, years ago...couldn't remember if that was IMAX or not.

We saw a movie about the Grand Canyon, and I got horribly airsick. ;-)

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Awesome!

I actually was forcibly removed from an anti-Gore rally in Manhattan because I decided to use some sarcastic signage that hadn't been pre-approved by the demonstration's organizers.

It was kind of amusing, because I almost came to blows with a febrile Gore supporter just as I was being told to leave.

Luckily, an NYPD officer restrained her from doing anything stupid, so the conflict pretty much fizzled out.

I threw out my torn sign and headed back on the R train to Bklyn.

[scott7278]

I remember as a kid going to one that featured "thrills" -- you got to be in a high-speed chase, when all of the sudden a fire truck pulled out into the intersection and...new scenario.

Man, that was cool.

[day10]

Volleyball at church is always fun. Nothing serious, just a group of people laughing it up.

Just curious - have either of you heard or seen the "Upward Basketball" program for churches? We are starting it this week and I am seriously looking forward to it!

[day10]

I am very curious about your screen name - can you exaplin it to me, please?

[scott7278]

Yes, I think it's a tremendous way to foster friendships and more importantly, point people to Christ.

It's great to be able to compete with people who are fun, friendly, and courteous.

[day10]

I am really fired up about it. I get to coach a team, and will probably help with other stuff as well. The program seems just great. For example, stopping in practices and having devotions with the kids - could be really good.

[RosieCotton]

The one we saw was a helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon, and a lot of the history of the area.

I've forgotten all the history. ;-) Just remember I was amazed how you could get soooo motion sick without actually moving. I'd probably have the same trouble with more recent first person shooter type games, now that the graphics are more realistic.

[scott7278]

As long as it's done right, with everyone knowing what it's about, I have no problem with it.

I don't like bait-and-switches, whatever the reason.

[apackof2]

Actually, your tag line would fit right into the game. :-)

Oh goody, a timely tagline!

[WalterSkinner]

..great story.

[scott7278]

Just remember I was amazed how you could get soooo motion sick without actually moving.

That's true!

[day10]

We are definitely aiming to keep it friendly and build the kids up rather than have tough competition.
