The Temple Bar: Legit Home of the RECESSION ... UYMFA

[LemonMelon]

OK, I'm back from the optometrist.

1. I have nearly perfect vision in each eye, and crystal clear vision with both eyes. Also, there is nothing physically wrong with the eye itself.

2. I don't have glaucoma. I know this because they gave me this test that was very much akin to water torture. They give you this sharp puff of air that, especially when you're not expecting it, feels like the blunt end of a pencil poking you in the eye. Those bastards.

3. I need to go further up the food chain of eye doctors in order to find the exact source of my complaints, though many of them he said was normal, and the increased flashes could be causes by "silent migraines" which could be caused by increased sugar intake. Fair enough.

Now, I got fucking four hours sleep last night, so I'm pretty crabby, but somewhat pleased by this news.

Did they run any tests to see if your ailments are merely symptoms or your underlying douchebaggery?

GFY.

 

[No spoken words]

LM, glad that your appointment went well, but, yeah, you might want to see an Opthamologist.

 

[Dalton]

GFY.

Why not. There's nothing on tv.

And so it shall be.

Why not. There's nothing on tv.

Got to pass the weekend before Super Bowl weekend somehow, I suppose.

 

[No spoken words]

College Basketball is on TV.

True and its kind of like exercise.

 

[Dalton]

College Basketball is on TV.

On what ESPN classic? Its not March yet.

 

[LemonMelon]

College Basketball is on TV.

Since I'm not sure I've ever watched an entire college basketball game in my life, tell me who to cheer for.

 

[Dalton]

That's pretty simple. You always cheer for whoever is playing Duke. Or any team that hurts Duke the most by winning their game.

Nova-Notre Dame

 

[Dalton]

BTW ~ does anyone have MsMofoGone's home address? I'd like to send her a few plane tickets to Atlanta, Germany for her birthday.

 

[LemonMelon]

In sports I don't have much attachment to, I just cheer for whoever is losing, because I like watching a good comeback.

 

[Thora]

Nice going snow on the b-day thread.


Back from running. I'm actually really loving it. I may turn into one of those crazy running-types if this keeps up.

UNC Sucks

 

[Dalton]

UNC Sucks

Not when they are playing Duke.

 

[Dalton]

BTW - I left you a 'heritage' question in FYM. If you don't answer this without the help of Google, your grandma is going to kill you.

 

[phillyfan26]

Yes, when they're playing Duke.

I would tell you more, but, uh ... I prefer not to reveal much about myself on this forum.

 

[No spoken words]

PFan, I'm listening to Curtains by Frusciante.

 

[phillyfan26]

The opening track is fantastic.

 

[LemonMelon]

I take it the Blue Devils are like the Patriots of NCAA men's basketball and are hated by pretty much anyone who isn't a fan?

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't adore them, but I like them, because of family, and that's as far as I'll go in stating my connection to Duke.

 

[Dalton]

Arrogant rich kids who rape innocent strippers.

 

[No spoken words]

The opening track is fantastic.

Agreed. I bought all of his solo stuff a few months ago, when Beav would not shut the fuck up about him. I have enjoyed listening to them all.

Fuck you Duke. Remember me? The guy that was on your campus in 1993 and spit on it, not long after you had lost to Jason Kidd's Cal Bears in the NCAA Tourney.

 

[phillyfan26]

Hi Duke. Remember when I played a pick up game on the floor at Cameron Indoor? That was fun. That was almost as good as playing a pick up game on the floor at the Palestra.

 

[Dalton]

Hi Duke, remember when I was working as a janitor in your math department and I solved that problem that no one else could?

How do you like peach cobbler?

 

[Dalton]

Hi Duke. Remember when I played a pick up game on the floor at Cameron Indoor? That was fun. That was almost as good as playing a pick up game on the floor at the Palestra.

OK Gabe, we realize that your mentioning of your connection to Duke is completely unintentional, but do you want to share anything?

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't get the Gabe reference.
