Terrapin Tables

Childhood football games

So far I've only played the vibrating football game, but I enjoyed it.

Happy Birthday to the Big Guy

Yes, I know it's a day early, but I don't think I'll have internet access tomorrow, so I thought I get the happy-time started. While on our way to dinner with friends one night last week, we came across this house and made our friend snap a photo of it to add to our collection. My favorite part about it is that there are absolutely no other decorations anywhere, just the words in all their glory:

Sorta Like "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego"

This thing is awfully addicting. So far my top score is 489,227 in Round 11. Its really embarrassing when you don't even get the continent correct.

Shaun Effing Hill, That's Who

Jerry Rice called him "the next Tony Romo" in today's post-game report. Wow. By which I mean, "Wow Jerry Rice, that's some crazy hyperbole from the best WR ever."

Still, nice to see him rip it up in his first start in 6 years.

And from Wikipedia:
Shaun loves to fish. The quarterback started reeling in fish that were inhabitants of farm ponds in his home state of Kansas during high school. When he lived in Minnesota as a member of the Vikings, Shaun caught a 30-inch, nine-pound walleye on his first try. He was able to lure the fish using a leech for bait 40 feet deep. Also in his fishing repertoire is a 48-inch Muskellunge.

Beer Pong Tables

This list of the 33 best beer pong tables doesn't include ours. Which is too bad, because I think ours is at least as good as the Lakers table.

List of Lists

Pretty self-explanatory, but seems like an excellent way to kill time, and perhaps actually learn something. Especially the "Top 20 Movie Nude Scenes" list. Apparently, the list of lists updates periodically.

What Would Jesus Buy?

Besides bling in the shape of a cross, of course. Trailer for a documentary that looks like it has potential.

Emerald Bowl

Any of you haters even entertaining the idea of flying out? I know I'll be at this game, where hopefully we can whoop up on the ugliest uniforms in sports:

Why are the linemen in white? Don't they know black is slimming?

Most of you got a text message from me, but I'll repreat: floor space with which crashing can be accommodated will be offered, in my apartment, where there will also be beer and awkward late-night cuddling. Apparently thanks to Virgin, Southwest, and others, you should be able to get round-trip tix for under $300. Not that I've ever seen this done, mind you.

This will be my first Maryland game since, like, early '05 or even late '04...I can't remember.

Thanks to Jeebus that Stanford beat Cal, because otherwise it would have been a pain in the ass to get tix to this game (Berkeley being a twenty-minute mass transit ride from SF).

Go Terps, insert "Beaver" joke here.
