a bunch of beginnings
So I just tallied up the points for physicalfeatdat and I realized I should have put a cap on it. Some people have just done a hell of a lot of amazing shit. Mostly I am speaking of MDilly. MDilly modestly listed a few of his superhuman feats, and I gave him 32 points because I needed to stop it somewhere. If he tried, if I tried, if any of the people he's terrorized over the years tried, we could come up with about 500 GP's worth of stuff that he's done. Here is a sampling:
1) He tore a button off my shirt, and when I began objecting to his behavior, he bent over, picked up the button, and ate it.
2) He beat a much more physically imposing Kissel in an impromptu one-armed pullup contest on a scaffold by a score of Many to Zero.
3) He dunked a volleyball at 5'5".
4) He ran the 40 in 4.4 seconds (so he claims).
5) He (claims he) did something magnificent and unspeakable on an ice patch behind the UW Southeast Recreational Facility.
6) He pummeled his roommate so severely that the roommate a) asked if he could spend the night with the R.A. like a little baby, and b) immediately requested and was granted a transfer to a different dorm across campus.
7) He killed a guy with one punch in Eau Claire.
8) He did a lot of gross bodily stuff that we don't need to talk about here.
9) He did a lot of other stuff that we don't need to talk about here.
10) He benched twice his weight.
11) He sported a mullet that defied all that we as Americans consider decent. (Photo, please.)
I could go on and on. Just take the 32 points, friend.
Also, I gave Vic an extra 8 points because he forgot to list the time he nailed 6 consecutive bullseyes to narrowly win a game of cricket against some douches in a bar. Incredible. Seeing that I knew what the fans at Yankee Stadium must have felt when Reggie hit the 3 straight homers in the '77 WS. It was an honor to be a part of it.
Lately I've been having some ideas for this here internet site. Not great ones, just some regular old ideas. But I've been posting for only about a half hour a night, starting real late, so they've gone by the wayside. One of them would be for each day's post to be the first three or four paragraphs of a different short story. We'd never actually finish the story. Just a bunch of beginnings. Beginnings are so hopeful, and without the pressure for middles and ends you could really have some fun with 'em.
See, they're not great ideas. But let me remind you that this site is free. Maybe tomorrow we'll give it a try.
Tonight I just want to alert you to the presence of a new softball recap courtesy of Kissel. Very nice job, pal. I am rethinking my opinion of this season's recaps. I now consider this the best overall season of recaps because we've had a lot of different people taking a crack at it, and they all bring something different to the party. Good work, men.
After viewing some of the pics over at Moncrief's site, I suddenly feel a longing for the quiet beauty of the upper midwest. I haven't been back to Wisconsin in about six years, and from what I understand nobody even misses me anymore. Fuckers.
I am going to try to catch up with my Midwestern buddies Brian C. and Jeff C. on Wednesday night. Should be fun. I have an interesting idea for a photo. I'll try to take that shit.
In the meantime, enjoy these two incredibly intelligent pictures:
I am about twelve years old.
I never went to a dance in high school. To be honest, I had nobody to go with. Finally, my senior year, I had a GF but by the time we started dating she had already committed to attend the prom with another dude, a (she said) platonic old friend of hers. So they went to the prom, and I went out and got blitzed with a couple of other lonesome dudes I knew. In a performance that eerily and cringingly brings to mind the "white boy sings a Motown song to comic effect" scene that was in nearly every bad coming-of-age movie from that era, I stopped on the corner of 3rd avenue and 12th street to perform an arm-in-arm duet with a homeless man. For twelve points, what song did we drunkenly warble? One guess to a customer and please note that I am not proud of this.
I need a new cellphone/cellphone service. Suggestions?
