1. Did anybody else notice in SI cover story on Ben that the dude who had Ben tatted on his arm and now might regret it also had Plax Burress right above Ben? What is this guy thinking? Maybe you should wait until a player retires before having them put on your person for the rest of your life.
2. Bathroom project is moving along. Since everyone needs to comment it - there were no spiked drinks or hypnosis involved. We got along just fine while working and complimented each other's good ideas. Good ideas were needed by the truckload as we ran into little issues which turned big at every corner.....literally. I would say a short estimate of about 30 hours were put in over 3 days in increments of 13, 11 and 10 minus meals. Still A Dad is a workhouse for 69 or 29. We threw the wall up very quick. I only had the headers up in anticipation. Still A Dad then did the heavy work of most of the greenback drywall with assists by yours truly. The next day was a few ceiling fixes where I had to gorilla things out, cutting the pan to size and installing, cutting the curb to size and installing and then shortening the existing drain pipe by 2 inches through a 5" hole. Fun. After that we had to add support to the 5 inch hole to make it more like 3 inches. Lastly we had to measure 9 times and cut once the interior water barrier material that I bought as part of a kit and then install it in thinset. The new shower is 48x44 and I'm tiling to the ceiling so there was a LOT of mud needed. If anything, I am now very skilled at mixing mud to peanut butter consistency.
To answer the nosey people.....sure, we may have disagreed over a solution once.....or twice......but who wouldn't after being together in a bathroom for 30 hours together? It was all good. Still A Dad got me a lot farther along than I would have been otherwise. To this point, I've done all the work myself. I actually like it that way so I can take all the credit...lol. However, I have no way of transporting or hanging drywall without help and Still A Dad is one of the 5 people on the face of the planet who doesn't live in this house who I can stand for 30 hours in a bathroom. Y'all can prolly guess who the other 4 are. No, Ben Roethlisberger cannot help me in the bathroom.
3. Still A Stroke went to a VB camp type deal tonight after school headed up by the school's varsity coach for the 'A' team. They went undefeated this year and won the district and county tournements. They came in second in the Philadelphia Arch tournament. It was the first time she's seen Stroke play but knows me from being a JV coach. I came early to pick her up to watch a little. They were doing a passing drill and three times in a row the coach called out "Perfect height Stroke, perfect!", "Beautiful arc Stroke!", "Stroke, NICE touch, really nice". Of course she doesn't call her "Stroke". I had to wonder if the balls were really that nice (they were) or if the comments were for my benefit since they always need coaches to volunteer...lol. In was great exposure to the varsity coach and she knew her name already. She was trying to learn all the girl's names but only knew about 5-6 from what I could tell so that's good. Her team is super hard to get on as there are 4 varisty teams at the school and she only coaches one of them. Since she has been coach, every girl leaving 8th grade who tried out for a high school team has made it. That's saying something in this very densley populated area of bigtime high school sports schools. She doesn't love VB the way she loves swimming, but she is muscular for her age and very coordinated so we'll have to wait and see what happens. Maybe I can call her Still A Spike in the fall?
4. Still A Dad, how is that mower running? I don't even think Mrs. Fan knows I gave that too you. How would she ever find out? She's never seen the inside of the shed. I guess when the day arrives where we're having people over on a Saturday and it rains all week and my dude can't come....I'll be out there with a pair of scissors! It wouldn't have started for me anyway in that situation.
5. Stilladog, you get a date for your trip lined up yet? Funny story about your dad. I can't imagine him blowing up over the wrong tool.

Fan- We good to go on whatever Stiller game you can score the tix for. Costa Rica trip is on hold for the foreseeable future. Mrs. Dog sez we ain't got the money for it this year. Not sure that's entirely true but sometimes she knows stuff that I don't.
I can't argue about it. I get a new grill, a new lens for my camera, and a trip to a Stiller game. That's shittin' in tall cotton in my book.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but did Sum Dum Fuk just post that he is having the face of Big Ben tattooed on his Wang?
Perhaps Santonio and Plexico can go on his Hang Yen... go ahead google Hang Yen.
Yeah, I'm starting to regret my Ricardo Colclough and Limas Sweed tats. They're just so big!
Fan was once seriously considering a Kordell Stewart tat way back in about '97 or '98. But thankfully, it was the one time in his life he took my advice, and I talked him out of it!
LIE!!!!!
