I dunno, some of those Patriots are very large men, so as to afford more hiding-behind space.
Depends if you're going for concealment or defense, I suppose.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

And thus, you reveal your non-native status.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday P-C!
Ugh, the snot monster is still residing in my sinuses. And to top it all off, I've had trouble sleeping the last couple of nights. Part of it is the can't-breathe-through-my-nose problem, but the other part is simply being wide awake when I shouldn't be. I don't know if it's because the Benedryl isn't working, or if the Sudafed is keeping me up long past the time when it was actually decongesting me. Feh...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
HBD P-C!
So I was all ready to be Ms Super-Efficient today and go to the library before I have to be at work at 10, but no. I am thwarted. The library doesn't open until 10.

Sheryl, a lot of people find that Sudafed works like a stimulant. It's chemically related to adrenaline, so I guess that isn't a big surprise. I'm lucky that it gives me only a little of that, because it's the only decongestant that doesn't double as a sleep aid for me!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthdays, P-C and Herah!
P-C, how are the job and job hunt going?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I napped half of yesterday, thanks to Benadryl, so I am thinking, that is NOT the way to go. Sudafed makes me wide awake, but it also convinces me I am breathing through sandpaper.
I know the snot monster well, yes.
I know very little of the Bruins, except that when I was a kid, hockey was that strange cult that people joined, and never returned from. In those days, it seems like it was a badge of honor to have lost teeth (and continued play after the losing thereof). I don't know if hockey players were/are all just speed freaks, or masochists, or boxing fans.
Still and all, the New England Patriots average 280 lb. per person on their defensive line, and their whole job is to make vertical people get horizontal. In a closed room, like a barfight, go with the Bruins; but in a wide-open space, the Patriots Flying Tackle may be your better option.
(Baseball players, despite their enthusiasm, have few to no skills that help with fighting. The Red Sox's most recent "brawls" have involved attempted pile-drivings, the pulling of uniforms (in the absence of hair long enough), and two guys attempting to claw each other's eyes out, like the S4 Xander slapfight.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, P.-C.!

Plus? They're born to fight.

Amen. And really? At least in Boston, they're far too pampered. And despite the fact that the NBA boasts some superb athletes, basketball players are all elbows and knees, and rather ungainly to be around, if/when/since most of us are a foot or a foot and a half shorter than many of them.
