:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

congrats to vard28, whoever the hell that is! (she doesn't post a lot for sure) what a cool gift from the nice folks at DU!

maybe next time, rug! we can hope! but I can just hear ya when Skinner announces the next winner is not a DU member at all, and he just puts "Jim M." or whatever their name is! lol that'll really get you going! There's a lot of lurkers, you know.

best of luck in winning! :)

127. re. not being "very talkative"....

dude, i think it's fairly normal.


i always wonder why nearly **everyone** on here has over 1,000 posts, and it really gives me a complex! (well, sort of.... i'm *partially* kidding.)


i've been on the DU for almost 2 years, and i only have 500+ posts... while that number of posts seems huge to me, it's miniscule compared to the posting rate of many regular posters on here. (good for them~! :) )

65. Quick, sell it on ebay!
Better yet, burn a picture of the Virgin Mary on the title page verso and THEN sell it.

101. Way to go vard.
Where do you live in Virginia? I spent a couple of Army years at Ft Myer in Arlington back during the Vietnam era.

107. So you live near Redskins Park.
The Skins frustrated the hell out of me last year. In fact, ever since Danny Boy bought 'em, it's been mostly frustration.

112. Yup
My husband and brother and law did the sod for the practice field there.

I agree, the team hasn't been the same since JKC. We had season tickets back when I was a kid and I rarely missed a game with my dad.

I'm hoping for some better results this season coming up. I think I like Coach Zorn, but this year will tell for me.

That y'all could practically toss it across the river to me! But I'll be patient enough for snail mail just to make sure it doesn't get wet!

122. Been dealing with several rounds of the creeping crud.
Had 2 ear infections and then Brian got strep throat which he decided to share with me (do you remember anything in the wedding vows that said he HAD to share the "in sickness" part with me every fucking time? LOL) He's only got a couple of weeks left with the kids and then it's summer for him. I've got trials stacked up through the summer so I'm just plugging along.

About the shirts...we repainted our computer room a few weeks ago and we had all our old race t-shirts in one of the dressers. I found several old M&M ones...and, get this... a Dick Trickle t-shirt....ROFL....I remember buying that one just cause it makes me giggle.

Your gift is worth $650+ on Ebay, I'm sure with a certificate it's worth atleast a $1,000. I'd hold on to it for a few decades and surely it would be more valuable. :toast:
