I bit into a gym shoe without gagging.

My eighth grade girls won conference, outscoring the second place team by 41 . If you don't know much about track, let me just say that's a good, old-fashioned butt-whooping.

My seventh grade girls placed second out of eight teams, seven points behind first place. They beat a team that crushed us last week by 43.5 . That's a huge upset if I do say so myself.

Of course it's the girls who run and jump and throw, but considering that most of them know absolutely nothing about track and field as seventh graders, I think the coach deserves a bit of credit too :-)

I've been married to same woman for 17 years. And we still like each other.

Cool FlemGem. I ran track and field and cross country in high school. We won the state championship in both in 2003, is that recent enough to brag on :P

my second time going to a shooting range i got bullseyes on every first shot all the shots after that where broadly spaced but im still happy

Gen Lee - once a state champ, always a state champ :-) I've been close-ish a couple of time as a runner and a coach. If our cross country boys put in the miles this summer they have the talent and experience to be in the thick of things. And yeah, cross country practice starts tomorrow :-)

@Dipplayer - nicely done! My 15th anniversary is in less than a month. Pretty sweet.

I shot a man in Reno.

@Maniac - did you shoot him in a robbery, in self defense - or just to see him die?

Definitely just to watch him die.

I went 84 kilometers in about 21 hours.

I drove more than 2100 miles by myself in two days.

@ aureliano - what mode of transoportation?

@ Redhouse - a remarkable tale of tenacity and the will to live, I must congratulate you. Also an exciting and creative opening sequence by Russia.

I invented a machine that crushes and sorts (between steel and aluminium) drinks cans for recycling

Teen anniversaries. Bah! I celebrated 24 years of marriage back in January. I'm working on plans to make our 25th Legen - wait for it - married!

@draug, saw that last night. One of my favorite shows.

Only one more season left. But it was cool to finally put a face to the legs. Although I think the catering babe (her former roommate) was way hotter.

Yeah, and I could have swore, that one of the shots from the back had her as a blond. Obviously I'm wrong, because they're pretty careful about those kind of details. But I was surprised to see she was brunette.

And agreed about her roommate.

I got offered 2 promotions at work on the same day and took them both, thus meaning I can work in any position(with the exception of 1, which I will likely get offered training for in a month or two) in 5 of the 9 departments in my store. :)

Nicely done butterhead! I hope the promotions include pay raises!

@FlemGem- Thank you! yes they do. ~$2/hr pay raise for both promotions combined :)

I published a board game last September.
It's no Diplomacy, but it's pretty good if you like two-player abstracts :)

Nice, Groza! Information please!

I'm graduating with a bachelor's in International Relations this Friday and starting work at an NGO at William and Mary on Monday. They're sending me to Haiti and Senegal to be a fellow abroad for the summer.

Feels pretty good.

Does this mean you can finally assemble the other two debates?

Groza is it called Waropoly?

It's called Equinox. So far we've only printed a 100-copy short release which I believe is unfortunately (and fortunately!) sold out. But we are about done with the design phase of version 2 and we'll definitely have a larger release this time around.
