ND is known for its high Polynesian population.  I believe it is the highest outside of Winnipeg.

 

As a kid - Hawaii 5-0 was past my bedtime.  I used to thing the wave was so cool, I would sneak out of my bedroom to  catch a glimpse of it going into commercial breaks.  Back in the olden days kids did not need an i-phone or game boy to be entertained.

 

Game Boy? You mean Pong.. right?

[ashbury]

She said cuz next week all the college kids were there, music, noise, drunk guys, girls taking off their shirts! I asked if my room could be extended a week!

Game Boy? 

 

 

I know - I am so far behind the times, even my crabby old man rants or ramblings have outdated references.

If I had to live in Texas and could choose anywhere in the state. It would be either be Austin or the Gulf Coast.

Me, if I had to live in Texas, I just wouldn't.

I've been to Austin once, very fun town.  The rest of the state I'm not so sure about.

That's all right... I know you meant to type Atari. 

[USAFChief]

 

I remember Staying on So Padre Island and the woman at the motel told me how lucky I was to be there when I was. I asked why? She said cuz next week all the college kids were there, music, noise, drunk guys, girls taking off their shirts! I asked if my room could be extended a week!

True story...during one or another of my four years at junior college, some friends and I drove to the Padre Islands for spring break.

 

There were indeed those things.  Well, three of four, anyway.

Ash, how many purses have you lost?

[DiscGolfer]

If you ever drive from MN to Mexico once you get to Texas you're half way there.

Actually, once you get to San Antonio you're about 110 percent of the way there.

[ashbury]

Ash, how many purses have you lost?

Too many to cou-... hey wait, none, none at all!

[DiscGolfer]

Maybe try to not hit it toward Beltre

[Riverbrian]

Dear Twins Offense,

 

DO SOMETHING

 

Sincerely,

 

Riverbrian

Music hadn't been invented yet?

That's what dawned on me how big the state is. Took 11 hours of consistent driving to get to OKC from Bloomington. Another 6 the next day to end up in Austin.

 

And 7 hours to get to So. Padre Island from Austin....

[USAFChief]

Who is this "Guy Yardoh" feller anyway?  Sheesh.  Never even heard of him and he's got a shutout into the 6th.

The easy half...

And 7 hours to get to So. Padre Island from Austin....

Yeah, it's huge.

Beeville to Corpus was about three and a half beers...

[Riverbrian]

 

Yeah, it's huge.

 

I wonder if you could even see it... If you did that with Rhode Island. 

[USAFChief]

Every series, Dickbert are flabbergasted at all the hard throwers coming out of opponants' bullpen, like it's the most amazing thing they've ever seen.

 

At some point, I wonder if it dawns on them where the unusual bullpen lies?

[D. Hocking]

I think he has to be considered a finalist for the Cy Young award, because our offense would eviscerate anyone of a lesser quality.  I suppose there is some minimal chance they are having an off day offensively, but that does not seem likely.

[Bark's Lounge]

 

Yeah, it's huge.

Is that picture accurate? I cannot recall when Texas was convicted of a crime and sent to the USA's most horrible prison. How awful.

[USAFChief]

 

I wonder if you could even see it... If you did that with Rhode Island. 

Nope.  I kid, I kid...but even I know Texas is bigger'n Rhode Island.

 

C'mon Bri.  This is simple geog...geome...

 

This is simple map stuff, bri.

[ashbury]

unusual bullpen lies?

I have heard enough of these to last a lifetime.

I have been all over Texas, and frankly have no idea why Davey Crockett put up such a big fight for it?

[USAFChief]

Actual true story...we are in the midst of a thunderstorm so severe I lost the TV signal.

 

CBU's please.

[spinowner]

 

Only by people who flunked Phonics in second grade. Tuck-son, obviously.

It's spelled P-H-O-E-N-I-X. Sheesh!
