But man, what a match so far! I was SO HAPPY when Federer pulled off that second set win. Holding out hope...!

I would create a tennis thread, but it would be just me and Rico, so... the Random thread has to put up with me actually caring about a sport around Wimbledon time. :P

That's still more people than post in the MLB thread.

As an update:

a) I start Yoga Teacher Training in September!

b) My annual job performance review was today and it was amazing. The word "haberdashery" was used.

c) Been doing a lot of things with my work bros like kickball league, tubing, barbecues, day cruises, and food tours.

d) Miss y'all!

Nice to see again Mongoose. I thought I was staying busy.

The only things I know from Canada are Joey Votto, Rush, and the Canadian Rockies.

Oh, and the Women's World Cup.

Yeah I'm not gonna lose those pounds anytime soon.

Wouldn't you rather lose kilograms instead?

Sounds like there's potential for that threesome now.

If it's on TV, it was never in my time.

Clearly before your time.

Mafia is expensive in Finalnd.

I just noticed Enrique has been promoted to Side-Mission Host.

Good things must be on the horizon.

Black Butte Portner.

Enough said.

Bea, I expect you to make time in your busy schedule for when I run my Craft Beer Mafia game. It probably won't happen until fall.

How's the new gig?

Now what is that supposed to mean?

I never noticed that before. Perhaps you are a closet sadist? Or perhaps you have a cult following of mafia geeks that gather at your shrine to pay homage and procure the annual sacrifice?

That is tragic

It is especially so since I am majoring in math and computer science.

Hahaha, my niece and nephew do the same thing to each other on Minecraft. They love picking on each other, even in cyberspace.

I don't really like grapefruit either

In fact, I don't care for juice much anymore. Milk based smoothies are good though.

I want some beer also.

I'll certainly have some tomorrow

Epigribnosis?

I know what I'm having for dinner now.

Rib?

Well they kinda do. The law suggests that they ride on the road, especially if there are no bike lanes or shoulders. But also, cops don't pull them over for running stop signs or red lights. So yes cyclists take advantage of this (I do too, but with safety in mind), but cities aren't currently set up for cyclists to get where they need to, so for now, that is the only option.

But the more bikers there are, the less congestion from automobiles there will be, theoretically.

thellama73 wrote:I haven't driven a car in fourteen years, but I also hate cyclists.

I can understand the hate for some cyclists. But like many generalizations, the whole community is not reflected by those few.

Canucklehead wrote:Cyclists are the best.

I haven't been behind the wheel of a car for almost 10 years now, and I don't miss it one bit. Granted, the city I currently live in is not exactly designed with the cyclist in mind (and the local motorists sure as hell haven't figured out how to share the fucking road), but with a combo of public transit and my trusted steed, there's really no need to own/drive a car here.

(The only exception to that is when I want/need to get away to the mountains...but that's what the boyfriend's car is for, right? :giggle: )

Every bit of this is exactly how I feel, except replace boyfriend with friend in my case.

I do the bicycle/bus hybrid. It's nice to have a bike handy.

Understandable

But I'm glad I don't have a 4 hour commute.

While the rest of the country is getting blasted. It's still 55 and sunny here in Oregon.

You could even have your honeymoon in the car.

One does not simply walk into Mordor.

I saw that picture when I was shopping a couple weeks ago. Your video of Rob reminded me to post it Alex.

It's Logan!

I was thinking of dear vompernoodles recently.

I was playing Apples-to-Apples, and the adjective 'expensive' came up. I happened to have the 'Finland' card in my hand, so I played it. My family didn't understand my amusement, but I don't care. I thought it was funny, and ture.

If you were at a bar with Alex, would you get him drfunk?

MattMatt, I can't find any words (or smilies) that can describe the cuteness of that llama.

I was supposed to catch a flight home today to Cincinnati, but I was (unwillingly) bumped off the flight because it was overbooked. So now I've got a check for $1000 and am catching a later flight to Ohio.

Christmas present from Delta!

Now I have all this time to kill waiting in the airport though.

Yeah, maybe I'm old, but FUCK YOU NARCISSISTIC ASSHOLES.

I live in a subculture where people don't do things like that, so I keep forgetting that there are people that actually do, and a lot of them.

That reminds me. We had a drill back in the spring to practice proper protocol if a rogue armed gunmen appeared on campus. We're supposed to quickly line up our desks near the classroom wall to create a barrier and secure ourselves behind them. Then someone (I volunteered for it) had to call the campus emergency hotline to warn the campus police. Well we did all of this, and I went ahead and called the number like we were supposed to. The lady who picked up flipped out on me for actually calling. Apparently we were only supposed to do part of the whole drill.

People sure are hard to please.
