Or......the episode we watched.........a crook was hiding out and was wearing a bear costume and Yogi being the nice bear he is took him under his wing. The sheriff that was looking for the crook had a dog that was hot the trail of the crook. The dog kept sniffing out Yogi and his new friend to which the sheriff mentioned "dog quit molesting Yogi."

Did you explain how the dog was molesting the bear with no pants?

Good evening Lodge.

Regarding little gII.......I thought for sure today he would have been a little sore and grumpy and slow moving. Not! He didn't skip a beat. I am impressed. I am beginning to think that the hospital put him under and forgot to do the procedure.

In fact, I think it is an evil ploy orchestrated by the WPF. (World Popsicle Federation)

Good to hear!! He sounds like a devil

I agree with les' - party time!!

It has already been a long day. Made pancakes at 5:30 this morning, built a fort, played Legos, read a bunch of books, colored and now we are watching Yogi Bear. I need a nap. Might have to break out the narcotics and give little gII a dose............

Sounds like fun...

Slept most of the day yesterday, surfaced long enough to go out for dinner since the kitchen is dirty, and slept until noon today. This cold is kicking my butt. Hopefully the medicines will help with that when/if I can get to the pharmacy here. We've got about 4-5" so far, still snowing, and (according to tcbg) people are driving out of their minds...

Good morning Lodge. Crappy weather here, though all I have is rain, rain and more rain. Some of my co-workers, though got a bit of snow and my nieces actually have a snow day. Probably because they haven't used any of them this year.

So, last night I was out having a beverage and the TV at the bar had ESPN on. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a clip of the BU-NMU national championship game. The hell? I asked hottie bartender was that ESPN or ESPN2 and then texted mookie as I had no idea why on earth that clip was being teased during SportsCenter and asked him to watch. Hottie bartender said it was probably a top ten of events that happened on Leap Day or something. I was like dude, you know I love you dearly but don't ever question my knowledge of BU hockey history. I informed him that the game was in late March, not February, of 1991, which was not a leap year, that I was actually at the game and still have my ticket stub. Thankfully mookie was able to text me with what that top 10 was. Extended finishes? Weird. That game was #9. It's really odd to have included that given there have been a few cooler OT games since that one. Wanted to post because I thought of 'diva when I saw it, though she was but a wee young 'un when that game happened. Was it really 22 years ago????

A few years ago, one of my friends gave me one of those iPod docking stations that is also an alarm clock and radio. The digital display also includes the date. It apparently wasn't programmed properly as it did not recognize Leap Day and now it says March 2. Not sure if I can fix that.

Thanks. I have a watch that needs that change.

Speaking of the calendar. What year in the 400 year cycle are we on? I wanna know when it starts over.

Wow, that was a good lunch. Went to a Thai place, had some kind of coconut/peanut/curry thing that was absolutely fantastic. When I first tried Thai, I wasn't a real big fan, but now that I know what to order, it is some very good stuff.

Also, got a 2012 quarter in my change. I thought it was odd that they already have 2012 currency in circulation, I guess they're on the ball this year.

That's gotta be worth a lot of money!

It was from the Holy Roman Empire!

(Now I'm wondering if I guessed right, and the Holy Roman Empire was in existence in 1012...)

edit: It was! I shouldn't doubt my knowledge of European history!

So I am contemplating getting a different vehicle. I currently drive a Tahoe. Great ride but unfortunately it is too high off the ground and difficult for little g to get in and out of.

I am probably going to get a car. a car that can deal with all four seasons especially winter. There are quite a few options out there.

Any recommendations from the Lodge?

I finished my German homework a day early. I still don't see how I ever managed to keep up with five courses in college. Of course, I didn't spend any time on USCHO back then.

Keep the Tahoe and buy a stepladder. They're much cheaper.

Subaru Outback.

Almost bought one myself, but I didn't spot any really good deals and I wanted something different from everyone else anyway.

I was thinking Outback or Forrester (though apparently the Forrester is for lesbians?). Maybe the Ford Flexx? I'm trying to think of vehicles moderately low to the ground, but big enough to carry any gear you might need to take with two boys...Honda Fit or Toyota Matrix?

Keep the Tahoe, buy a Corvette for the sping/summer/fall months. Corvette's are very low to the ground and the little guy gets to ride in a bad *** car for 6 months out of the year.

****, I'm smart.

You are smart. I will own a Corvette when the kids are out of the house. In the meantime I need something a little bit more family friendly.

Suburu is on my list as is VW Passat, Cadillac CTS wagon and a few others.

Bullet?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 145: are you giving up something for lent??

Bullet?

Its just the expression, "#1 with a bullet". I thought it was a common phrase, but I may also be losing it.


Brent will like this, I just responded to a Kluwe tweet, and he sent me a private message back, apparently he's a hipster now, so he has to hate America.

Subaru Outback.

We are on our second one and our fourth Subaru. Last winter when we got all the snow, we were the ones that had to go pick up our goalie because they were on the worst hill in the SW metro (not saying much, but it is a ridiculous driveway). Until the mom traded her BMW for an Outback.

I'm now biased, but I absolutely love my VW. I have the Tiguan, which is their crossover SUV, but I can say for sure that VW is tops in the car manufacturers for safety. I've heard real good things about the Passat, but haven't been in one yet.

Not sure how much of a priority it is with you, but Subaru's tend to get pretty poor gas mileage. I'm a big fan of VW's TDI platform, although the Tiguan doesn't have it. Obviously diesel costs more than gas right now, but I believe the Passat gets up to the high 30's or low 40's with the TDI for mpg.
