Rep Retirement Lodge 115: What sports do you watch in the off-season?

Today's a big day:

Battle of Gettysburg begins: 1863
Battle of the Somme begins: 1916
Battle of El Alamein: 1942
I married my lovely bride: 1995

To celebrate, we had dinner at the Golden Bee last night (a yard of Boddington's Ale for me!), and tonight we're headed up to the mountains for two nights of camping.

Life is good.

Congrats!

Just a warning: mute your speakers if you go in to the "question for the forum" thread.

Oh holy Christ! BWK learned how to embed audio into a post, and is now using it in the NMU thread...

Suspending him would be too good for him... ban him instead.

Afternoon, Lodge.

Good. Grounds for suspension.

He tossed a vuvuzela post into the Tech thread too. And yes, his recent shenanigans might warrant banning, considering that he just got off his last suspension.

I can talk, but not dial. If I'm called, I tell the people right then and there I'm driving, make it quick.

I've never tried to text while driving. It would just take all my attention off the road and onto my phone.



Alaska's driver test is like this. You have to take it every time you reapply for your license. It's sneaky hard, too - lots of random trivia like exactly how many feet you are supposed to stay back from a school bus with its flashers on. Mandatory questions about alcohol/drinking and driving as well. You need a 16 out of 20 to pass. I know several people who've failed it, some several times.

I'm going to hold on to my Michigan license, because my engineer ego refuses to believe I can pass the FE exam in one try, but not a driver's test

ETA: That was 11000 and I missed it. Yay.

In NC they make you take a written test each time you renew as well and when you transfer your license there. I still don't understand what the penalty for buying alcohol for a minor has to do with driving, but it was on the test and I got it wrong. I told the guy it didn't matter, it's not like I was going to do it so what difference did it make what the penalty was.

NH didn't make me take the written test the last time I renewed my license there, but that was 7 years ago, so I don't know what they require now.

If you drink while pregnant does that fall under the buying for a minor laws?

I'm calling it a day. There are days when I just can't deal; today is one of them.

The rozzers in Saginaw have been known to sit in parking lots with binoculars during the Click It or Ticket campaigns.

(Speaking of rozzers, what is it with NMU people and using the British spellings of words? I know several NMU people that do this.)

1. What is a rozzer?
2. What are you talking about?
3. All the things going down in Sagnasty, and they really get their panties that bunched up over seatbelts?

I've reported him twice. We'll see.

I can relate.

Ouch. Just got an estimate on a new bathroom. It's not a whole lot, but more than I wanted to spend.

I reported every vuvuzela embedded post.

Good job!

Only the Rouser or PK Ditty may be embedded as audio. That should be in the newbie guide.

Thanks.

I reported every vuvuzela embedded post.

And thanks.

If I were more imaginative, I'd figure out a way to get back at him, but how do you get back at an invented persona? Besides, 'diva already did that by posting his confession about who was behind the name.


JF_Gophers: Yeah, there should be some rule against embedding non-hockey music.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 115: What sports do you watch in the off-season?

1. What is a rozzer?

British slang for police. A sign that I've watched too much Top Gear.

2. What are you talking about?

A lot of the NMU people I know use the British (French Canadian?) spellings for words like "colour" and "cheque." I have no idea how this started.

3. All the things going down in Sagnasty, and they really get their panties that bunched up over seatbelts?

The $eatbelt i$$ue i$ one of real concern for $aginaw'$ fine$t.

(You should see the flap over the Ford Mustang the sheriff confiscated from a pot grower and now drives around town. People are trying to get him recalled over it.)

You don't. That's what will get you hooked.

I have noticed this over the past fortnight, eh.

Why don't you go over and have a seat on the chesterfield and enjoy a perogee

Lady at bus stop: Austria.
Lloyd: Austria! Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie!
Lady at bus stop: Let's not.

I have no idea what is going on. What the hell are you people talking about with this vuvuzeler thing? I have never heard of it.

Good job!

and the Battle Hymn of the Republic in very specific St, Clooud vs. #26 Onion threads.

We need to bring that back.

Ditty, Rouser, and sometimes Battle Hymn. Didn't someone once do that "You're the Best Around" or something like that, too? That one was pretty funny as well.

Brass Bonanza is also acceptable.

As you quickly click past ESPN or ABC because you see soccer is on and you wonder why they're playing in a bee hive? That's a boatload of vuvuzelers.

You gotta have a schtick in international soccer: The English get bored and riot, many of the South American countries sing the lame MSU-Mankato "ole ole" song, this is what the South Africans do.
