Blast from the beginning of the Immortal and Everlasting Tournament of 100


Thought this might provide motivation for the next time we play! Soon! Columbus? October?

An Olympian Pastime

From the Washington Post 12 Aug 2008

At the center of the storm, Phelps seems to be the calmest eye, that is until his every synapse erupts as the gun sounds. "I'm just here enjoying myself," the 23-year old said a few days ago. "I never experienced a campus dorm room [so] I enjoy the [Olympic] Village... little grass areas and sculptures... I stay in my room and watch movies or we [swimmers] sit around playing Spades all day." (emphasis mine)

Enough said.

Spades, anyone?


Found in my archive of images sent to me by Sarge. This was pre-2 megapixel iPhone.

Another Challenge

Gentlemen,

Tomorrow I embark upon a journey to gain distilled knowledge of caring for children while they are anesthetized. Already they are asking me when I would like to take vacation. I guess they are trying to make the call schedule for the whole year.

Therefore, I turn to you three, my friends, partner and opponents, with the question: When shall we meet again to test the immovable object against the irresistible force? Where will the meeting take place? In Sweet Home Chicago? In our nation's capital? In the home of college sport's second best basketball and football teams (circa 2007?)

If the Fungster has no further class reunions... a weak excuse for fearing the crushing blow of Moshdawg paws tearing into soft Remix flesh.

Hear the baying in the distance? Feel your marrow turn to ice? Run! Refuse to play us! Say you have no time. Say there is no money to travel with the high gas prices. Save yourselves the indignity.

Yours,

Corporal.
