I'd buy the Pittsburgh Pirates and rebuild the franchise from the farm system up.

The Song includes the phrase, a Load of Iron Ore. How could you not know it was the biggest Oreboat on the Lakes??

So if I put a load of Iron Ore on a pontoon, does that make it an ore boat? Just saying.

Unfortunately not. Going through the locks means your main deck goes below the lock walls too, so it would get sheared off....


I guess we could always apply for the Futile Four? If that didn't get automatic acceptance, I don't know what would.

*ing Welland Canal

An arena with no spectating area, no outside windows, too-small ice, and stuck in a Lake Michigan storm in March/April? That ought to make it, yup.

Ok, get one of those ore boats, and have a college game ON. THE. BOAT. In the middle of Lake Superior.

There's a full load of something whenever you step foot on a boat, but it ain't iron ore.

Unless you ate five steaks that day.

That would be *ing sweet, actually. The waves might not cooperate so much though.

That would be your first obstacle, but you also have Iroquois, Eisenhower, Snell, then all the Canadian locks up to Montreal through the Seaway.

Quiet night around these parts.

Out having a couple drinks at Shamrock's and the Wild Onion with some friends...

Actually adulthood isn't that bad for the most part. Although the whole keeping a job and paying bills thing kinda sucks.

The whole not being able to get a job in your field part sucks too. I know there are several others here that agree with me....

Yeah, sounds like it, but, well, let's put it this way: if I told my boss that I was having a glass of wine from a new bottle, he'd accuse me of just drinking grape juice, then tell me to have someone else open it as I'd probably destroy the cork (even though the person he'd recommend had never used a corkscrew), and then, if there were any flaws in the glass or the wine, they'd all be my fault.

Adulthood, work, it all *ing sucks.

Sounds like you have one of those bosses that you want to tell to go * themselves...

Who would buy a yacht and hire yours truly to Captain it? Clearly one of you would like to cruise the Caribbean.

Similarly, who would buy an airplane and have Sloe Gin and myself fly it?

How the * are you a Minnesotan - one that LIVED in Duluth - and not know what an ore boat is?

I didn't know what one was either. But, unlike Brent, I know how to skate so my Minnesotaness shouldn't be in question.

So right now I'm into the Vegas trip for $820. The guy that's supposed to pay me half is apparently wanting to back out due to having some unforseen expenses come up (read: dumbarse got a DUI and his girlfriend blames my friend so now doesn't want him to go). My friend will make sure I get it (trying to get two others to come...but, if not he might use it), but I really don't want him to pay for it since it is his bachelor party.

You should be pelted with used hockey pucks to the tune of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald for not knowing that!!

Hmmm... a little surprised that Dirty didn't jump in here and say this should happen just on general principle.

Hi
The stars are out after a wet and windy night. It was pretty loud out from 40, 50 mph gusts, snow took a huge hit as there are bare spots in my lawn

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 99: You can get anything you want, at Fooper's Restaurant.

when i lived on virgin gorda back in 1992 i met a lot of people who captained boats around the islands for people. half the time it was just the crew keeping the boat on the water while the owner was back in the states or in europe.

"When I lived on Virgin Gorda"?!?!? Sheesh! If I were a youngling, I'd say I was major jelly, yoe.

Tequila doesn't seem like it'd mix well with chocolate milk


EDIT: And I piled on in the Union thread. I shouldn't have, I know, but...

I was dreaming of times when I could drink it.

Pulling a les' tonight, hot chocolate for me. Lots of thinking to do Why didn't anyone tell us that adulthood was going to be difficult?!

Because we would never grow up.

This.
I've always said that if I won the lottery and squared everything away financially and could live off the winnings, I'd open a bistro.

Me too. I would buy and old house that had character and restore it. It would need a really nice kitchen, not huge but well set up. It would have to have enough space for gardens, including herb garden, huge perennial gardens, and ideally would be on a lake or pond. I would fund a clinic for the working poor that couldn't afford healthcare and work a few days a week. It would NOT have electronic medical records. (Come to think of it I need a few billion to fight the move to computerized records). I might sponsor a youth hockey team and make the focus sportsmanship rather than nutty parents. (Well fantasy is fantasy afterall!)

That would be your first obstacle, but you also have Iroquois, Eisenhower, Snell, then all the Canadian locks up to Montreal through the Seaway.

Kill Joy.

Morning!

In an effort to see where my money goes I set up a budget for this year last night. To start with I gave myself $15 of daily allowance which is kind of high. Just to see if I am spending at that level.

Its never the large purchases that get you, its all the nickel and dimes.

Oh, and...

Good Morning boys!

I'm a man thank you very much.

If we're talking about rebuilding crappy teams, why not get a group together and buy the Detroit Lions?

Good morning, Lodge. Another lazy day on the horizon...
