Reveal a secret...
Quote: Maverick17Watch it for what it is?
Not to drift a thread, but I can watch grass grow and be impressed if I "watch it for what it is."
I started on a marginal high school basketball team. I was not getting a scholarship to play basketball anywhere. However, I was good enough to play AAU basketball in the summer between baseball games (which I was good enough to get a scholarship to play).
I played against Semeka Randall, a woman who played in the WNBA. One of the best 17-18 year old females in the country at the time. So good she was playing with boys, etc.
She was a sideshow. She started and played for her team, but was far and away the worst player on the court, probably in the gym.
Don't give me that "Watch it for what it is" crap, because what it is, is inferior athletes playing against even worse athletes, now with tattoos.
Give me the bench of a high school all star team from the suburbs in Cleveland, Ohio, and I swear they could compete with the WNBA.
I never said that the women were equal talents to the men; Britney Griner wouldn't make an average high school team. I love watching the women play, is all. If you don't, that's cool. I don't watch pro basketball, I think it's boring. But if you like it, I'm happy. Thanks for giving women's college bb a chance, it wasn't right for you. No big deal, y'know?
lied about it. I live in the same town as the
Gerald Ford Presidential Museum, and I've
never been there once.
I'm so embarrassed..
Quote: EvenBobQuote: Beethoven9thYou sure some of those players are women? lol
Pretty sure..
Well I hope the bottom one is a woman...
Knoxville, Tn
St. Louis, Mo
Iowa City, Ia
One of us was only 483 miles away while the other two were 523 and 583. Please don't tell my parents.

When I lived in Hawaii, I was about 25 miles from Honolulu. At a
bus stop in the country, I talked to an old Hawaiian lady who said
she'd either been to Honolulu once, or not at all, in her lifetime. Had
no curiosity about it whatsoever. It's an island mentality, we can't
comprehend it.

Aren't women farther from the basket on average because of their average height? I can make a hella more shots if I can reach over the basket on a jump. Or do they lower the hoops.

Cool, we have a bet. Womens Basketball. Md Terrapins vs Notre Dame Jan21 Mon 7pm ESPN2.
Welcome to the ACC, should be an interesting season, a lot of good Womens Basketball teams in the ACC.

It’s a weird phenomenon. No matter how epic a wonder, if it’s right at your finger tips, it loses its luster. I, too, pass through the mist of the very falls themselves often, yet almost never go those few steps further to actually view them.
Quote: Beethoven9thDamn, this kills the image that I had of Face. I always pictured him as some rugged, Daniel Boone type of guy. :D
Don’t get it twisted; it’s purely utilitarian. I’m not going over myself with a lady bic and lotioning up, just a quick once over with clippers like sheering a sheep.
As someone who overheats easily, it keeps me cool enough to work harder and for longer.
It also makes parasite removal easier and/or unnecessary. They’re much easier to notice before they embed with a clean leg, and easier to pick or flick off without all that hair to cling onto.
And swamp mud? Get out of here. On a flat surface, such as a bare leg, it just flakes and dusts off. If you have a hairy leg, it’ll harden into little balls of matted misery that’ll pull them all out one by one.
So, shave my legs? You’re damn right I do =)

That's a good point, I hate that! No so much the mud around these parts, but the little burrs you'll pick up from walking through the woods that get all tangled up in your leg hair and you rip out ten leg hairs for every burr....OUCH!!!
I think I might have the calves for it, too. I have some pretty decent looking calves.
Maybe I'll try it next summer...one time...see how it goes.

It's not just that; they're slower and not as strong.
What I love is the intensity of the competition. It's like every single game is played with the intensity that the men save for the Final Four... and then when the women get to the Final Four, it's over the top. I get that others don't see the same thing I do. At one time I didn't see it either.

I suddenly had a visual image that has left a scar on my brain for at least the next 3 hours. Try and tell me you don't look like this hairless wombat!
Quote: Mission146I'll only start a new, "Minor task," such as making a phone call on a time ending in a five or zero. I will only take a shower or leave the house on a time ending in xx:00, xx:15, xx:30, xx:45...unless I have to leave for something important/urgent, but the time must end in a five or zero.
Mission, this sounds like the beginnings of a mild case of obsessive compulsive disorder. ????

That's NOT dancing! You are just standing on your head. You're friend is dancing! You would recognise this is you hadn't stood on your head so much. Lol. :-)
Which one are you?

Who knows? I've always been that way, I prefer round numbers and multiples of five, whenever possible.
Quote: rainmanWhat the? Is going on in this thread! Maybe we shouldn't be revealing our secrets, I'm not sure I should know about kewl shaving his gennies. Nor should I know MrV likes to dance around in a diaper. And hey I thought you were a white dude. :)
This thread rocks!
Here is another secret...I want a vasectomy a BUT, I have heard that the pain is extreme and there is a possible side-effect of your junk not working properly afterwards - so , as of yet, I have not gone through with it

Been there done that and mine wasn't bad at all. In fact, had it done in the a.m. and was mowing the lawn in the p.m. And everything works like it did pre-vasectomy, no problemo.

Now, Alan says he was mowing the lawn in the pm. Is that some sort of 'code' phrase for something, or does he actually mean out cutting the grass?? Because Alan, you shouldn't be cutting the grass afterwards or doing any chores for several days. Play it up and have your spouse baby you and do the chores. That is the LEAST you deserve for this procedure. :-)

I've had one and the only downside is soreness in that area for a few days. You will probably need to sit on a bag of ice and take pain relievers for a few days, but it isn't that bad. I don't know any statistics about you junk malfunctioning, but I'd hazard to guess it is very low, like 1 in 1,000 or less.

Yes, cutting grass. I'm a lawn fan, so I took some Tylenol 3's(or whatever) and went and did it(small lawn and front only).

Don't be too quick in making that claim:-) How about the 78 Belmont throw down between Affirmed and Alydar?
I stole a piece of Mica from a classmate in 4th grade during show and tell. I was so fascinated by the rock.
I like Dillatante Chocolate dipped dried Cherries.
That's gotta be like the worst day ever.
Quote: KeyserSozeWow. So you get your nuts clipped and then cut grass the same day?
That's gotta be like the worst day ever.
Balls of steel, lol ;-)

Not even ice. If you've lived a sheltered life and never participate in any activities maybe. I've you've ever played sports, or hike, or exercise or even do yard work, you've had more pain multiple times in your life and just kept doing what you're doing.

Quote: aceofspadesSo we agree the vasectomy is +EV...?
I'd say yep and you can play with the ladies and not worry about a future baby bump. However, you still have to concern yourself with STD's.

Quote: IbeatyouracesA vasectomy it's not quite 100% foolproof on preventing pregnancy. Neither is tubal litigation in women.
OBJECTION! XD

LOL didn't mean to mock your spelling, but that idea struck me as hilarious.

Besides following the Women, I of course follow the Men but alot of the guys in the tournament dont rally care as much as the Women due to a future NBA contract . The Women give 110 per cent and are generally devestated after a tournament loss. I remember years ago the Mens tournament Maryland against St Johns. We had Steve Francis. As Maryland was losing, Steve Francis told the St Johns team "I could care less about your schoolboy tournament, I'm going to the NBA" Thats a common attitude among the Men.

A divorce attorney who doesn't want any kids. I wonder
why. Doctors are reluctant to get married a second
time. Divorce can have profound effect on the psyche.

When I got mine the doctor said 1 in 500 are not effective. He went onto say that he had done 500 successfully so far, so was overdue for a failure. I was tempted to argue Bayesian probability with him, but given where he was about to start cutting, I didn't want to make him angry, so kept my mouth shut.

Gotta love you numbers guys....you never go off character. Even when maybe your mind should be elsewhere. :-)
