I know I've mentioned the annual trivia contest thing in here numerous times.

I guess there was some doubt as to the tournament being held this year. It's a fundraiser for the Cal State soccer team and the coach that organizes the contest just left for greener pastures. Turns out they're still doing it.

I get this email the other day from the old professor of mine that serves as the team "captain". She said that although they are having the contest this year she was considering not putting a/our team together this year.

Her reason? Because we've won the last 3 years in a row and "the lousy reception our consecutive victories" gets from the other teams. :lmao:

Then she asked what everybody else thought. I just politely replied with "I think we play again this year and continue to try our hardest". I was tempted to call her a Communist and ask "did the mother-jumping 1980s Lakers sit out a year? Do you think John Wooden 'called off the dogs' because people grew tired of watching UCLA win? Not sure about you but I want to be the G-D Dan Gable of 'The Brains of Bakersfield'".

Still not sure if we're going to have a team or not. If she doesn't want to enter this year I'll put myself on the market as a free agent. I won't settle for less than my entry fee ($40) and at least 20 drink tickets.

Please don't trivialize their feelings.

:lmao: It's actually pretty funny when they announce the winning team. Everybody already knows who will probably win since they update the scores after each round. The only thing still in question is the final round. So when they say our team name only a few people clap. Most everybody else just kind of murmurs and starts getting ready to go.

I'm tempted to make some sort of t-shirt for this year. Maybe "He Hate Me" or "Have Fun Fighting for 2nd Place".

I vote for humility.

Hey GB, hifive.

No throwing up last night, so that's a huge step in the right direction. I think we're out of the woods. She still isn't sleeping much, I think mostly due to her stomach. We're lucky if we get 2 consecutive hours. Sucks pretty hard. Wife and I haven't had a solid night of sleep in a while. It will pass eventually, but it's to the point that the sleep deprivation is making us all a little loopy right now. Our first was a regular baby, so yeah we didn't sleep a whole lot then, but it was normal new baby stuff. This is like what they do to folks un Guantanamo.

Yours any better?

Ours fell asleep last night at 9 and didn't wake up to get changed and have milk until 6am. Seriously, if I could bottle it up and send it to you so you could have a peaceful night you know I would. :(

 
So my daughter (8) and I are driving to softball practice. I'm listening to some sports talk show. Guy says so and so is an idiot. My daughter goes oooooo why did he say a bad word.

i say i don't know he shouldn't have. She says at school we just say iword, bword, aword.

i said what b word? It's ok to say it this one time.

she goes, in a whisper....butt.

:lmao:

:lmao: similar thing happened in our golf tournaments. A friend of ours works at a course and every year they gold a tournament for a cancer foundation. He always gets 2 groups from us. One of our groups won lime 8 years in a row. My group 4. The moans were the best :lmao:

:humblebrag:

 
My soccer team - which was 1-7 in the fall - won today 5-1. Not a humblebrag here....a chest thumping, hell yeah brag. We were the punching bags last year as two of my best players played classic soccer in the fall. They are back, along with this new kid who is one of the smallest 5th graders I've ever seen. He is a god with a soccer ball.

I'm going to celebrate with many beers. But not toooooooo many. Promised Ma I'd take the boys to church tomorrow for Easter.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Also, had a tremendous day off yesterday with my little girl. Took her to the zoo at 9am sans stroller and wore her little body out. She fell asleep in my arms at 11:15. I forgot how awesome a feeling it is to have a little child surrender to sleep on your shoulders, even if you have a mile and change walk back to the car. Too happy to even make the easy Homer joke there.

I kept it off the FBs but you know the obvious solution to your Hazel hair problem is to have your gay son do it, right?

 
On a serious note, Angrywife has been going through serious sleep issues related to tmj for the last three weeks or so. She's tired, cranky and half out of sorts pretty much all the time. Which sucks for everyone in the house. Mostly I want to say that I don't know how some of you have managed to deal with similar things that have gone on for a long time and kept a positive attitude. I respect the heck out of that.

 
is season 2 good? I gave up on that show after season 1. just seemed too creepy to me and I wasn't buying the super powers of empathy that they gave Will Graham.

You lasted almost an entire season longer than I did. I think I got through the first 15 minutes of EP1. Show is goofy as hell.

No better way to judge a TV series than by 1/4 of the pilot.

:lmao:

Although I did watch about 10 minutes of Mad Man once and thought it sucked balls.

How many bites of a dog#### sandwich would you need to take before you realized how bad it was?

you and ford

 
Speaking of TV...pretty sure I watch too much of it.

The wife and I were just in the store in the wine section. She sees a bottle of Manischewitz grape drank and says "classy"

Me: How dare you? You know who their advertising agency is? Sterling, Cooper, and Partners.

Her: Oh sorry. Wait...that place doesn't really exist.

Me: *pause* Tell them how you killed our baby, Amanda.

Currently have a tiny mouthpiece from the dentist that just goes across the front four teeth along with muscle relaxers. Only had the mouthpiece for a day but it seems to be helping.

You're still awful, but your acceptance of Roger (Smith, not Sterling) into your heart is at least somewhat redeeming.

GLGB. The wife not sleeping pretty much wreaks havoc on the whole household.
