Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

Next weekend, my daughter has a soccer tournament, her birthday party, a get-together with my SIL and BIL to celebrate her birthday, along with some of her friends spending the night.

As if on cue, my dad sends me an E-mail letting me know they are coming in town to see Talia play in the tournament and are wondering if our spare bedroom is open.

Is there something in parents' DNA that alerts them to a complete cluster **** and prompts them to announce a surprise visit? Grandparental spidey sense perhaps?

I suppose this is one good reason we don't live in ICT anymore...
 
Irony: Someone complaining about spoilers ends up spoiling something for other people.

well since Phelps probably won his 10th gold in like, Athens, I'm not going to feel bad about that one. It was an example, not the real spoiler!

ETA: it was Beijing, not Athens. Only had 6 leaving there.

Oh

You're good. You had me there.
Honestly, I wasn't upset even when I thought you spoiled it. It's basically a foregone conclusion that he's going to win. I just don't know by how much. ;)

I think I actually thought he had won his 10th gold at this years Olympics. Not sure what his personal count is for this year.

Shamelessly trolling for those instagram sunburn pics I see. o_O

She sent me one and some strange glitch has made it so it shows up in every single message she's sent me in the last two months. It was funny at first, but it's becoming terrifying because it's literally like, 4 different levels of burned.
 
Speaking of cysts, my wife and her family, particularly her mom, aunt, and cousins, have an odd fascination with popping things. Like cysts and big zits.

Holy crap just typing that gives me the jibblies.

Apparently having aliens grow under your scalp is fairly common based on our sampling here.
:eek:
None on my head. Took them three tries to get the one out of my right wrist (if you don't get it all they grow back). By the time they got it completely removed, there was so much scar tissue that it encroached on the carpal tunnel...so I had to have one more round to relieve the pressure on the nerves there.
 
******* yahoo. Been happily avoiding Olympic spoilers all day (hence why I'm not posting this in the Rio thread) and open yahoo homepage and giant spoiler right there. Not something like "Phelps goes for 10th gold" but more like "Phelps wins 10th gold in record style!" You don't have to be an ass and put the spoiler in the headline!
Well ****! THANKS CG.
 
Seriously toying with the idea of going out for a test jog. Alumni Association is having an informal walk/run around Lake nokomis next week with beers at lakeside cafe afterwards. It's only 2.7 miles. I blame CG's running posts for me even thinking about testing this.
