[alabamaalan]

Ironic, isn't it, that the first tennis players I think of would not give a guy a second glance?

Well, come to think of it, I wouldn't expect a second glance (other than shock) from the two you posted either :teeth:

[Mnementh]

Well then thank goodness for god timing ;)


In other news, have you seen the Pirates 3 trailer yet?

[TwinkieMama]

Ok so I posted this elsewhere but it is funny. Background information: I teach a University class one night a week in contrast to my SAHM persona and my superfly disboard celebutante gansta persona. Lately I have been stalking babynurse1- a totally cool DISer who so funny and we were having a conversation about Dr. Christian Troy- the hunky doctor on Nip/Tuck.


The MOST embarassing thing just happened....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now that I have your attention

So I decided to do some actual work. I was going to email my class with some reminders and friendly advice about the really hard homework I assigned just before spring break. Usually they goof off and then try to do the assignment in 30 minutes before class... um.. free life lesson... if a college teacher gives you 3 weeks to work on a project you are going to need more than 30 minutes to do it

So I write a long note kind of highlighting some important concepts, stressing the need to prepare for our next quiz over my pet subject, blah, blah, blah...
so I also have a class webpage-thingy where I can post announcements so I hit control c so I could copy it to post and to send via group email. I hit post and was about to send the email to my 28 students when I realized that I didn't hit control c so I had just posted the thing before that which was


Quote:
Last edited by babynurse1 : Today at 09:35 AM. Reason: I'll sign up for the Dr. Troy mouth to mouth class too!!!!

That is what I sent to ALL my students!


So the DIS can indeedy be hazzardous to your career. I deleted it speedy quick and had to retype my actual message to post and email.

[TwinkieMama]

Well then thank goodness for god timing ;)


In other news, have you seen the Pirates 3 trailer yet?

Is is all about the timing.

And no- I haven't seen the trailer. I am hoping we will have an Indiana Jones effect where the 3rd movie will make up for the 2nd. Does it look good?

[monymony3471]

Hey twinks that was funny!

Only you!

BTW: Happy Belated. I missed out on the actual day, if UM's ticker was true that is......

[Mnementh]

Is is all about the timing.

And no- I haven't seen the trailer. I am hoping we will have an Indiana Jones effect where the 3rd movie will make up for the 2nd. Does it look good?

It looks very good, but hey, if you're one of the three non-movie-critics who didn't like the second movie, you probably won't like the third one either.

Your story was great, though. I've always been afraid of doing something like that myself. As a matter of fact, I almost did earlier today.

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

:lmao: :lmao: (sorry Donna...but that was funny!)
I like to make fun of the Steelers as much as the next person, but a bit of advice, if I were a fan of the Cubs of the NFL, I think I'd prob. just sit back and watch while other people talk football.

[L107ANGEL]

DUCK!!!!!!! I am off to have the dinner, but happy to see you! :hug: :hug:

[TwinkieMama]

DUCK!!!!!!! I am off to have the dinner, but happy to see you! :hug: :hug:



Where is our real angel??????


Monica- Good to see you!

Em- I liked the 2nd movie.... it just didn't live up to the first. Had some good ideas, some good scenes but over all was a little lacking. And I am not theater critic... I like a good comic book movie. Anyway part of the joy of the first was that it was so unexpected... the mix of drama, special effects and plain ol good humor. I think the second one needed to the two guards....

[Grammyof2]

I am smelling a Wooo hooty

Pre Hooty or post hoooty

:dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

[mousehouselover]

just one more!

a day late and a dollar short, story of my life.........

[TwinkieMama]

That was my first woohooty in forever! And Grammy was in the house so I get like double points! :woohoo:

Well, Donna- I posted it to the web page and I am pretty sure all my students get an automatic email of everything I post... so we shall see.. I am of course too embarassed to ask if they got my message about Dr. Troy :blush:

[firstmickey]

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

They are all gonna be scratchin their heads ...saying...what the heck was that? :) :banana:

I'm gonna try to 'splain this one SLOWLY. I was talking to the person who I quoted. I was telling her that if I were a fan of a team that is considered the Cubs of the NFL, I wouldn't criticize other teams. That wasn't really two slams against you, but if you have a complex maybe you should see someone?

[firstmickey]

Hey, I'm allowed a typo once in a while. :p I'm going to start pointing out every typo you make from now on :teeth:

Yeah...good luck findin one of those. ;) :rotfl:

I knew what you meant. You slammed Steelers and Cubs in same sentence. Duh. ;) :rotfl:

[Mnementh]

More like the Cubs and the BROWNS... :p


Guess you didn't explain slow enough, Duck ;)

And I agree that the Browns are the Cubs of the NFL :rotfl:

[jw50]

And I agree that the Browns are the Cubs of the NFL :rotfl:

How do you figure that since the Browns have won eight championships since the Cubs last won the World Series?

[firstmickey]

How do you figure that since the Browns have won eight championships since the Cubs last won the World Series?

and there's another country heard from....:teeth: ;) :lmao:

[Mnementh]

In the amount of time it's taken since the Cubs last won a World Series, EVERY team that's been around since then has won a couple of championships.


Well, almost...

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

How do you figure that since the Browns have won eight championships since the Cubs last won the World Series?The Cubs prob. won a lot of things too before they started World Series. Once they started that whole thing, not so much. I haven't checked lately...how many Superbowls have the Browns won/been in?

[firstmickey]

...how many Superbowls have the Browns won/been in?


oooohhh....ooooohh...I know...I know. Pick me!!!!!!!!:banana: :banana:



ZERO!!!!













WHOOPS...SORRY ROADIE! :duck:

[Mnementh]

The Cubs prob. won a lot of things too before they started World Series.

Surprisingly, no. The first World Series, of course, happened the year the AL was formed and I don't know the date offhand, but the Cubs hadn't been in existence for very long before the AL was formed.

EDIT: I just looked it up. The American League became official in 1903. The Cubs still weren't even called the Cubs back then.

If anyone cares, their original name was the White Stockings and they did, indeed, win 6 of the first 11 championships as the White Stockings in the 1800s.

[jw50]

The Cubs prob. won a lot of things too before they started World Series. Once they started that whole thing, not so much. I haven't checked lately...how many Superbowls have the Browns won/been in?

And how many other teams have not won/been in a Superbowl?

Are you saying all of those teams are also the Cubs of the NFL? :teeth:

And how many professional baseball franchises have never won a World Series?;)

[firstmickey]

popcorn:: anyone want some popcorn?



I feel like I got a front row seat to the Duck-Brat ;) -Joey show. :banana: :banana: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Mnementh]

MLB Teams to never win the World Series:

Padres, Astros, Brewers, Mariners, Rangers, Expos/Nationals, Rockies, Devil Rays


NFL Teams to never win the Super Bowl:

Cardinals, Lions, Eagles, Oilers/Titans, Browns, Bills, Chargers, Vikings, Falcons, Saints, Bengals, Seahawks, Panthers, Jaguars, Texans




Quite an extensive list in both categories.

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

And how many other teams have not won/been in a Superbowl?

Are you saying all of those teams are also the Cubs of the NFL? :teeth:

And how many professional baseball franchises have never won a World Series?;)
Of the cities that had NFL teams the year of the first Superbowl, only Detroit, and Cleveland haven't even at least lost one. You can take your pick as to which team you want to call the Cubs, and which team you want to call the Indians of the NFL.

[firstmickey]

Good Night Riddlers......I found another clever riddle for tomorrow. a different kind though!

that's right....a double dose of Donna as the riddle goddess. :banana: :banana:
