Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

OK. I have questions.
1. Are you travelling?
2. If not, did you just stop in at Super 8 on your way in to work for the free breakfast?
3. Was it on the floor for less than 5 seconds?
4. By biscuit, did you mean actual bready-like biscuit or is it a euphemism for something else?
5. Did anyone else ever like the movie Super 8?
6. Should I still feel bad that I accidentally knocked over our giant beer pyramid that we'd built when we stayed at the Super 8 in Des Moines for the high school volleyball tournament?

Glad to know that I wasn't the only one who thought the dropping the bizkit post was going somewhere else when I read the first sentence.
 
You guys obviously need to tone it down. I'm pretty sure that is a no fun league.


this team was really fun, they had a guy who kicked foul twice so their bench yelled helpful things to him like KICK IT! KEEP IT BETWEEN THE LINES! and for defense "TRY CATCHING THE BALL"

they had a guy go for a catch and drop it, then tripped and fell on top of the ball and he just laid there. Not pain, I think, but slight embarrassment and probably laughing. One of their other guys started yelling GET UP! GET OFF THE FIELD! but he was doing so jokingly.
 
Just to bring a little synchronicity to this topic and this thread, I have some friends who were in a kickball league several years ago. The name of their team?

The Ocho.

Since it is somewhat similarly named, have any of you ever been to beautiful Otho, Iowa and, specifically, the Otho Pub. They have the best hashbrowns ever!
 
I know this makes me a geek, but I can't see the name of Otho, Iowa without thinking of Otho and Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.
Based upon the last name I'm assuming this is a Hobbit reference. The fact that I can reference that may also, possibly, in the ever-so-slightest way, mark me as a geek.
 
I didn't make the connection to how it sounded until about 6 months ago when I mentioned it to my husband. He started giggling like a 12 yo. And I've known about Effingham my whole life...we had to drive through on I-57 to visit my aunt.

Ben Folds also wrote a song about it, although he changed the name to Effington:

"maybe I should ditch this little white rental on the interstate
get a new effing life in Effington
I could change my name, grow a beard, start a family
or I could just keep on moving on
and not stop 'til I get to Normal"

Interesting. I agree that it looks terrible but this is probably just another example of my lack of fashion sense.
I believe your opinion on this is actually showing your more fashion-forward side. I look forward to shopping for boat shoes with you.
 
I skipped the last few pages. But I'm alive and wanted to share this.

I have a good feeling about some of your later posts.

As I get older it is comforting to know that older women still want to have a sex life. :spinny:

As a man who will this year pass the "Mike Gundy man test", I'll second this. I mean, not that I want to know details or anything, but if you still 69 at 69, you go on with your bad selves and let your freak flag fly.
 
The son had his second baseball game last night. He tore a hole in the knee of his pants. Pictures aren't until Monday. He has something like 4 other pairs of pants that are the same style and still fit him from previous years. All of them are in various states of disrepair and/or dirtiness.

Barn burner of a game last night (7 inning games). They started out down 3-0. Fought back to get within 6-5 going into the the 6th and went ahead 7-6 going into the 7th. The bad guys scored 5 runs in the top of the 7th to make it 11-7. The good guys scored 5 in the bottom of the 7th for the win.
