So, Allan says to me today at lunch – “Where do we want to going riding on Sunday?” (he’s working Saturday, no Cartersville for him). And I’m thinking…… will my legs even want to ride on Sunday? I hope so, or we will be in search of someone’s pool to crash…..

And – will someone make me a tshirt that says on the front & back – ALLAN’S AT THE FIREHOUSE! I bet I was asked 15 times why he wasn’t at wheelhopper. Or – should I mess with everyone and just start answering – We are getting a divorce and I got Wheelhopper in the settlement.

That is what I am saying. Besides, falling in love and having children are theoretical concepts to me so it’s not something about which I have to worry.

In other news….

I will most likely have some new Amish ~~cake~~ bread with me on Sunday…. unless I crash early from riding 55 miles in Cartersville and don’t get around to making it.

So if you met and, say, fell in love with someone who went to a Pac 10 school, you wouldn’t cheer for her team with her? Or if you had kids who went somewhere in the Big 12, you couldn’t support them? (notice I’m not forcing you to choose against your own conference here)

If this were the case, I shouldn’t even be able to root for the Badgers. Sure, I went to the University of Wisconsin, but at Stevens Point, not Madison. Because I couldn’t go to “THE” school, does that mean I can’t support them either?

Sorry but IMnotsoHO there is no “right” reason for cheering for a school that one did not attend. Your cheering for the Gators was convenient for me because so many in this town are against them.

Debbie you’ve got it.

I will try to coordinate my next batch with either a Wednesday night or sunday run.

Yay! I like debbie! debbie’s trying to keep me from being dead! Thanks, girl!

Now, in my defense, I would NEVER give up my Badgers. The rule to supporting the Vols is that he has to support my Badgers or Game Off (as in I’m no longer supporting him; not that we’d break up. Although…). But since I didn’t go to a school in the South and pretty much chose Florida at random…well, I guess I can be persuaded to change for the right reason. Except by an ACC fan, which I think we ALL can agree on.

Barb, I can agree with you on that too. I am pretty darn sure I’ll never “we” a Tennessee comment.

Good new from inside the protected space of the FRB… they might try to keep us in, but they just can’t. Thanks Paulie for the other way in..

And a memory of George Carlin. I owned a copy of “Class Clown” and when I got it home, was playing it on the stereo with my dad asleep in the adjacent chair. I don’t believe I have ever moved so fast to turn the volume down as when “shitpissfuckcuntcocksuckermotherfuckerandtits” came blaring out of the speakers.

Very funny Barb. The use of “we” when watching sports irritates me because the person saying it is neither playing for the team currently, nor has ever played for the team being watched.

My one rule about rooting for a school you didn’t attend – I will let you root for them, but you can NEVER say WE.

Policy states that she *must* be dead to me. It’s not only that she’ll be rooting for Tennessee it’s because she

a) Didn’t go to Tennessee
b) Was rooting for my beloved Gators
c) Is being swayed by this OTP Guy for whom she is turning her back on us

See, it’s not just because it’s a different SEC school. :p
