[Condem]

5. What's in it for me?

[happyiowan]

[Condem]

Night all!

[era veteran]

21. Happy Birthday!!

Congratulations on the anniversary.
Ms. era, Peaches, and I celebrated our 25th last week on the 20th.
I am a lucky man.

Last October in Washington at 'The Rally'.

[Condem]

23. Was that the Glenn Beck deal, era?

Or the Palin Harley get-together?

[era veteran]

25. No, pal, although that could have been interesting. LOL

The day before, I was interviewed on local TV right after I snapped this.

[joeybee12]

34. Happy Anniversary!

Although I guess I'm a little late now.

[Condem]

35. Thanks, joey!!

We celebrated by watching football and tailgating. No better day than that!!

9. 18 Years merits a Shout Out

and an all-expenses paid trip to a tropical island in February (good luck with that). Huskers triumph over Badgers, upsetting the cheese cart.

[Condem]

By the way, my wife's uncle, a former administrator & adjunct prof. of English at U of Iowa passed away a few days ago. Too bad the Hawkeyes have an off week this week - I would have picked them in his honor. Oh well.

[Condem]

12. Pick them next week.

We'll need the vibes on the road at State College!!

[happyiowan]

27. Hey Brendan...

I just read about that. I was touched by the inclusion of his golden retriever in the names of those who survive him. I never had a chance to meet him here at the University, but he sounds like a great man.

But we live in Iowa. Which means she doesn't get SHIT!!!

[GusBob]

20. Hmmm,

I checked the list of appropriate anniversary gifts. No manure for any year, even in the farm belt.

Must be hard on the crop growers that are newlyweds or longterm weds!

36. I don't mind losing I can handle it, I'm practiced.

I do mind the referees fucking up calling an SEC game with the # 1 team in the land. Was that an OVC training exercise for low rent zebras?
11 people on the field fucktard with 12 you throw the handkerchief thingy. Damn.

Two gigantically bad calls, I bet Joker gets fined. Les should pay it.

[Condem]

38. The craziness of the 1/2 point.

Sometimes it goes your way. Twice today. No. What a fucking kick in the balls.

[a la izquierda]

37. I'm afraid my Buckeye fan neighbors...

are going to burn down my apartment this season...the shouting coming from upstairs and across the hall kept scaring the crap out of my dog.
:scared:
