Probably. I don't know. Too many damn books about cowboys and first loves and babies and shit. I think she's paying for the same story over and over and doesn't even realize it.

They can't make a program that just puts shit on my computer, it also has to eff with my computers settings? Eff that and eff them right up their asses.

I just saw a tagline on sportscenter for an upcoming story that said "end of a rivalry" and thought it was about Mizzou-Kansas.

Then I laughed at myself.

What is the secret alchemy that happens between Arby's roast beef and Arby's Sauce? I've tried Arby's Sauce on lots of other things, and it just doesn't work.

stevew · 05-03-2012, 08:12 PM

It has to be some sort of molecular fusion. Dare I say it's like jb weld or something. A 2 part epoxy.

Huh, I had never heard of Blue Moon. There's a blue ice cream in the shop downtown which the kids love. I thought it was cotton candy flavored or something but I've never tried it. They don't call it Blue Moon, but that doesn't mean anything.

I would like to add a better story from last night's visit to the bowling center. I've gotten to know a guy - I guess he's about 20 or so - who just started taking bowling seriously. He comes down about twice a week with his cousin to practice. He still has a ton to learn, but we've started connecting and I've been teaching him the game. This has been going on for about 2 or 3 months now. Last night, his father came down to hang out and watch the youngsters bowl. The kid called me over and excitedly introduced me to his dad. Apparently, he's been telling his dad a lot of things about me, and the dad is truly appreciative of the time and effort I've put in to help his son enjoy the sport. The kid is joining one of my leagues this summer, and he's really excited about his first league experience.

I deal with a lot of stuff during my bowling time, good and bad, but it's honestly fulfiling to be a mentor to newcomers. This isn't a new experience for me - quite a few of my "students" have told their parents and friends about me - but it's still great every time someone shows their appreciation.

I truly hope that every bowler who learns from me becomes better than I am. I averaged 210 this season, and I want all of them to average 211 or more. I've bowled 11 strikes in a game five times, and I want all of them to get 12 strikes in a game five times. I get molested by at least one college girl a month, and I want all of these bowlers to get molested by at least three college girls a week.

This is why I bowl.

I also bowl because I get cheap Mountain Dew and a lot of free games.

Props.

I actually heard about a guy who is a decent level manager with a company and he has a degree in History. Needless to say I was surprised since that's one of the lesser degrees to get.

I also put a combo of Arby and horsey sauce on mine.

I have always avoided being a coach for any of my daughter's teams because I don't have the patience to deal with other people's kids. That seems to have presented itself this week.

After a game on Sunday, one of the girls, we'll call her S, was looking for a ball that belong to her. The game was over. We're trying to get the trash out of the dugout, get equipment picked up, etc. S is looking for her ball and she is just kicking gear all over the place looking for her ball. So, I say to her "Hey S, how about you help pick up the gear instead of kicking it all over the place?" So she helps me put the catcher's gear in the equipment bag, etc. Then goes looking for her ball some more.

The head coach got an email from someone saying that I was a mean bastard for yelling at S.

Totally not worth the headache for me.

Yeah. I don't know how well you know the area, but I live in Fishers. So, we're talking about doctor's kids, laywer's kids, etc. The type of kids that end up driving expensive cars, etc. So, you know, the kids that feel entitled, don't really respect people, etc.

I'm not saying all of these kids are like that at all. I know this one kid in particular hasn't made it to practice because she's had acting class or dance class or violin lessons, etc.

Thankfully, we only have 2 more games with this particular league and it is over with. I don't think I am going to volunteer to be an assistant again. I really like the head coach and I don't feel like she should have to deal with this kind of BS because of me, even if I didn't really do anything wrong.

sterlingice · 05-08-2012, 12:05 PM

I've only been up there but it makes sense. Your other "correct" answer would have been "Carmel", from what I understand.

I don't live that far from Fishers, but there appears to be a giant reservoir between there and where I am.

Agreed. I actually think he's proven to be a much better director than an actor.
