I'm 13 posts away from 3,000. I have to clock out in 19 minutes.

What are my chances?

[LeftyMom]

1. Very good, I'd say.

:yourock:

[reyd reid reed]

4. Y'think?

I didn't realize I was that close...don't know what made me check.

Yeah I do. Boredom. That seems to be the root of all my...well...it happens.

:D

[LaraMN]

2. Piece of cake! What color's your shirt? n/t

[reyd reid reed]

5. Blue...

with red and white on it. One of my Cubs shirts.

They won.

[qnr]

3. Depends upon how long ago you actually typed that (the time isn't visible

when you are composing a reply).

[reyd reid reed]

6. One minute before your reply

And i've still got 13 minutes to go. And...nine posts, I think?

[Robeson]

7. We're an easy crew. Just respond back, and you'll have another...

...one under your belt...:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

9. Oh, even though it's tempting...

Yup. And since it's not really all that many, should be do-able.

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. You remind me of a man

:evilgrin:

[reyd reid reed]

14. What man?

:shrug:







:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. The man with the power

Are you there yet?

[reyd reid reed]

28. What power?

Dunno...might be, though.

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. The power of hoodoo

Well, y'think ya might check or somethin' so we don't have to go through all this again?

[reyd reid reed]

41. Hoo doo?

I'm there. You can relax now. *smooches*

[Oeditpus Rex]

You do

Unfortunately, I seem to be stuck.

[reyd reid reed]

46. Do what?

It's like a merry-go-round...one that never ends

[Oeditpus Rex]

52. Remind me of a man

Better watch out. I frow up when I get dizzy.

[reyd reid reed]

55. What man?

you forget, darlin'; I'm invincible. I've been baptised by fire...and then some.

[Oeditpus Rex]

64. The man wi...

:puke:









Told ya.

[reyd reid reed]

66. LOL!

:rofl:

You should know better than to start something you can't finish, darlin'...

Feel better now?


You remind me of a man.


:hide:

[Oeditpus Rex]

69. Okay, I'm changin' the record

"Getta you ice cream! Getta you tootsie-frootsie ice cream!"

[Broken_Hero]

10. not bad...

but what is your favorite color?

[reyd reid reed]

16. Depends on my mood...

Mostly it's either rose (not pink...there's a difference) or blue.

[Broken_Hero]

11. what was the last movie you saw? nt

[reyd reid reed]

17. All the way through?

The Natural, probably.

[Broken_Hero]

12. who wins in a fight, superman, or hulk? nt

[reyd reid reed]

19. Superman, hands down.

Hulk's too emotional. He's likely to stomp off in a huff.

[Broken_Hero]

21. all right!

Superman all the way!...:)

[Broken_Hero]

13. do you like the snow? nt

[reyd reid reed]

20. In November I do.

In May...no way.

[Broken_Hero]

24. I would love snow during the summer

it would cut down on all this effing heat...:)

[reyd reid reed]

29. Head far enough west and they've got it.

Hell, you've gotta take sweaters or jackets if you go up Pikes Peak, otherwise you'll freeze. People do it all the time...wear shorts and tanks and sandals...then wonder why they're cold up there.

[Broken_Hero]

36. Yeah, I've been to Colorado Springs

and to Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods...:) back in...october of 2000. I was working at the University of Colorado, colorado springs library. I worked for Wm. B. Meyer, a book moving company back then. There was a great place to eat there...like...Farmers Barn, or Farmers Market, they had unlimited soup/bread, oh my...very good eats...:)

[reyd reid reed]

43. The Hungry Farmer

And it yup...loved that place. GREAT food. That's where I learned to pour coffee standing on a chair way back in the early 80s. Heh...my various managers just loved the hell outta that. Made me a truckload of money in tips, though.

It closed last year, though.

:cry:

[Broken_Hero]

50. Oh damn!

you did that coffee trick, where you pour coffee over your shoulder, and fill up a cup in your...back pocket? I think the cup was in the back pocket. First time I ever saw the Rocky Mountain oysters, my boss tried hella hard to get me to order some, so I knew something was amiss...:)

[reyd reid reed]

53. I ain't quite That daring...

I used to be able to do it over my shoulder, though. Or from 8 feet up. But...in my pocket?

uh uh.

I've never tried those, either. Rumor has it that they taste like chicken...

[Broken_Hero]

56. thats a rumor I would like to keep

unless its some survivor of the fittest scenario, whre thats, all thats left to eat, period...

[reyd reid reed]

59. LOL!

If that's all there was to eat...I might lose some weight.

[Broken_Hero]

63. I need to lose weight, but

I'm not sure the Bull Ball Diet is the way for me....:)

[reyd reid reed]

67. Remarkably effective, though

Unless it's like calamari...

[Broken_Hero]

15. cotton candy, or candy corn? nt

[reyd reid reed]

23. Candy corn

Love the stuff. I like to bite off the layers.

Yeah...I'm weird.

[Broken_Hero]

18. I notice your cub logo

what are their chances next year? I thikn Prior/Wood are on their way out, but do you think the cubs will get anything outta them via trade? Zambrano is a damn horse though, he has GOT to be your ace next year.

[reyd reid reed]

27. Zambrano rocks...

And he has since he was 20. Wood might pitch out of the bullpen next year; I suspect he's finished as a starter. Prior, I dunno. They need to take a good look at him and try and figure out what's up.

I don't think Cubs'll do it next year, either. I'd just like to see 'em play .500 ball next year. Personally, I'm pulling for '08. There'd be some poetic justice there, don'tcha think?

[Broken_Hero]

32. sure would be poetic...:)

I've followed the cubs since I was a wee lad, with wgn being one of the only affiliate channels we got back in Alaska, I grew up watching Braves via TBS, cubs via wgn...yet, I'm a huge mariner fan...:) But I got to see my main man, M. Grace play in 2000...I was at Wrigley august of 2000, cubs vs cards...

[reyd reid reed]

38. I'm jealous

I've never been to Wrigley. Before they plant daisies on me, though...

[Broken_Hero]

40. It was...very...energizing,

and at the time, the Cubs still sucked, and I got to see Will Clark too, he is one of my favorite players. They serve a sandwich called the Wrigley Pig, its an overpriced tasteless excuse for a sammich, so if you go, dont' get it.

[reyd reid reed]

44. Yeah...but that's part of it.

All the over-priced, tasteless crap. Heh...I'll let one of my boys eat it, though.

#3 son's first ball game, back in '98, they went up to Coors to see the Cubs. Kid ate everything that went up and down the aisle.

Returned it on the way home.

"Mom, I did NOT have a good day."

He loved the game, though.

[Broken_Hero]

54. We just had a Royals trip last month

my wife, two of my brothers, my sister, and one of my wife's relatives never been to a mlb game, so I decided to take them up to a Royals game...it was an experience, for them at least, it felt good being in the crowd, hot dog in hand...even though everything is overpriced, but it was bobblehead night, so we did get some free stuff...:)

[reyd reid reed]

57. There's just something about being there...

being a part of it...my daughter's even gone to baseball games and enjoyed herself. And THAT tells you something.

[Broken_Hero]

22. Italian, or chinese? I"m an italian food fan myself....nt

[reyd reid reed]

30. I like both

I definitely eat more Italian but sometimes Chinese tastes better.

Variety, y'know...

[Broken_Hero]

34. yeah, variety

but If i had to choose, it would be Italian...Pizza, calzones, lasagne...calamari...hmm...damn, now i'm hungry! All the different breads, the wine...hmm, the cheese...:)

[reyd reid reed]

39. Oh, geeeze...

Now you're gonna make me hungry.

:eyes:

[Broken_Hero]

42. well if you order something,

Calamari for me please...hmm, damn, I haven't had good Calamari in over three effing years...

[reyd reid reed]

45. I've never had it

They do it at Carrabba's (or however you spell it), I just can't get past the idea of it.

[Broken_Hero]

47. I was the same way at first

and what I mean by good calamari, is lightly breaded pieces, that look somewhat similiar to the conventional mozzarella stick...the crap they serve at most restaurants, is like a hashbrown/fried clam texture, and that sucks, cause you are getting fried batter.

Calamari is good, I had the same apprehension about it, until I tried it, and I was like...WOOO! Gotta get me more of that! With good marinara sauce, hmm....

[reyd reid reed]

51. I keep wanting to try it...

And then chickening out. I'm pretty tame when it comes to my food, though. Not one for the exotic stuff

[Broken_Hero]

58. well, next time, just take a little piece..

worth a try, if you don't like it, spit it up, and make sure to do that in front of a large croud of people too...:silly:...:)

[reyd reid reed]

61. Of course...

it's more fun that way. Plus it embarrasses the kids and that makes it SUCH fun.

[Broken_Hero]

65. I'm glad we are on the same page here...:) nt

[Broken_Hero]

26. weird, im 15 away from 6,000....nt

[reyd reid reed]

35. Still?

Or have you gotten there?

[Broken_Hero]

37. not yet, 8 more to go(counting this post)....nt

[reyd reid reed]

48. You'll get there...or my name isn't reyd reid reed.

Oh...wait. It's not.

But that's okay. You'll get there anyway.

[Broken_Hero]

60. all ready there...what is funny

last month, around the 10th or so, right before becoming a mod, i was around 2800 posts...geesh....

[reyd reid reed]

62. How time...and posts...fly when you're having fun.

Amazing, innit?

[Broken_Hero]

68. yeah, I guess..:)

fun, fun, fun...lots of reading, and posting, thats why I love DU though...:) To me its like a big tent online university, where everyone has a Ph.D, and everyone always has their "one" field of expertise...:)

[Robeson]

31. Yea!!!! You've done it!.....

...nothing like a good time to party!!!! :toast: :toast: :bounce: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :kick: :grouphug: :yourock: :woohoo: :woohoo: :applause: :applause: :party:
