Caffeine

or

Alcohol?

actually for me caffeine always would win I guess. I don’t like alcohol as a drug, I only like the taste of the beverages it comes in.

As far as drugs go alcohol is a little weak for you?

fair enough

But you know how everybody’s got a story about the absolute last time they drank _? Mine is redbull vodkas. In Thailand. I ended up getting thrown in the sea by a bunch of Norwegians who thought I was trying to cut in the ferry line, then tried to swim from Koh Samui to Koh Pangnan to get to the Full Moon Party. Very strange night that ended with me miraculously not dying.

funny catholic story to lighten the mood

my Dad has a cousin, he is in his 90’s now, and he is a priest in Indiana (now he is in a retirment home for priests and nuns). Every year, we would get an Xmas card that said “God Bless the Notre Dame Fighting Irish”, knowing full well how much it would irritate my Dad

I also had a cousin who was a nun, but she quit

I just picture all these old priests and nuns (and all nuns are old now, they have “recruietment” issues), sitting in front of the TV at the home getting fired up for the ND games. And of course in my head they are all drinking beer.

My cousin used to bring her nun friends over and they would drink whiskey sours with my Mom

For a quitting nun. What was the bigger impetus for that decision: sex or booze?

booze is not an issue, they are allowed to drink!

but really, she went in the convent when she was 14 years old. wanted to go when she was 10, she told her Mom that “God told here to go live with the nuns”. To this day she maintains that she heard a voice

The church was very nasty to her when she left, it’s not like quitting a job.

Aside from the fact that you would have to watch BC football. Tailgaiting only opens 2 or 3 hours before the game (only 3 if you are a large donor). No charcoal, only gas grills. Tons of other stupid rules I don’t even want to think about. Awful. Don’t ever go.

I'm reduced to justin.tv with no sound.

We stayed at a friend’s studio apt. in Denver last night (going up to the mountains for a wedding at around PSU gametime) and she has (1) not even basic cable and (2) no apparent sound on her computer. Women.

I find myself cheering for Sparty

But facing a highly ranked UM team would be better for PSU’s schedule.

at least theyre real penalties

unlike, let’s say, running into the kicker.

especially if they figure out that you shouldn’t block in the back or hold during every single one of them

(UM/UW) Despite the score...

these offenses are moving the ball nicely. Wisconsin looks a lot better than most people thought to start the season. But I guess when you go a few years without a quarterback, having one that can do the job is pretty nice…

you have to admit though

that that pass out of the endzone was complete toss-up. if the sparty DB’s weren’t looking at the WR, that is a pick

so is Michigan playing defense for the first time this year or is Sparty just inept on offense?

just now? that got called back on holding call. It was still an amazing pitch and catch. I’m starting to think it’s a good thing PSU doesn’t play UW this season.

Iowa getting cocky?

The Hawks were up 14-0 early, but now going into half, only 14-6… Is Iowa going to be one of those teams that plays up or down to their opponent each week?
