One of my roommates had a “brilliant” idea this weekend: get a group together and go to a restaurant that makes buffalo wings in fourteen different flavors. So we got a group of seven guys together, and ordered 100 wings, seven of each flavor (plus an extra tossed in here and there).

Not reading the flist for four days leaves a dozen pages to read. I hope I didn't miss anything important.

What do I quickly learn? Stargate SG-1 has been cancelled.This is not happy ( Read more... )

I went back to playing hockey last week, helping my team, which was undefeated, to beat another endefeated team 1-0. This weekend we took on one of the lowest ranked teams. We scored more goals (9), than they had shots on net (6). It was fun for everyone but our goalie ( Read more... )
