1. Real first name - Andy

2. Favorite baseball team - Yankees

3. How I found the NDF - followed a link from another site

4. What I enjoy most about the forum - the easygoing atmosphere and the eclectic senses of humor

5. Something else about myself - Junior at the University of California, Santa Barbara, majoring in History/International Relations, and a third-year cadet with the Army ROTC program. Also an avid golfer (not necessarily a good one, just an avid one).

I just hope that when you're President some day you'll remember all your NetShrine Buds and invite us up to 1600 for some burgers and beers one Saturday.

I'll come out of attorney retirement so Duque can give me a seat on the Supreme Court.

You and me both - then we are 40% of the way to killing baseball's antitrust exemption.

Root, root, root for your home lawyer, if they don't get in it will be a shame; because one .....two ......three strikes your out at the old ball game!:blush:

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I gave up my presidential aspirations way back in the 6th grade.

I do like how "El Supremo Generalissimo Grande Queso Dictador Bad Andy" sounds, though.

May I offer you a one-way ticket to Argentina? :D

That's just like trying to sell me a Ford Pinto.

True story.
I have a cousin who tried to blow up the ROTC building at UCSB in the early 70's. He then went on to rob a BofA in Isla Vista.
He was 14 years old . His getaway car was a bicycle.
Now he counts cards in Vegas.

Yeah, the office was firebombed back in the '70s. They still have the newspaper articles up in the main building.

... and the old one was so cool. I may have to switch, but I've been Walter for so long that I might not even recognize myself if I traded him in.

I figured it was time for a change. I might go back to Lefty next week.

You guys anti-froggites?

Nah - just makes me think of Fritz. Wonder where he went; haven't seen him post in quite a while :D

WhenI had the frog, I was shocked at how many asked me to switch it- - really, what's the big deal?

Duh dude - it's ugly. Ummm, looks good on Duque though. (A day without a Caddyshack reference is like a day without sunshine)

Try kissing it. It may turn into Pete Rose.

Guess I've been too Pete-y lately. Maybe the latest quote pushed me over. I'm not really a Rose fanatic, though I do think he should be in the HOF.

He kind of looks like a frog, in a Prince Valiant sort of way.

A frog with a Prince Valiant 'do? Now that's scary.
Skip

No ... it's Chuck Barris

06-08-2002, 08:03 PM
Exactly...Chuck was one scary dude.

Gong!

Lefty is back. Froggie was getting to me.

Damn. I was going to urge you to ignore the populous and stick with the frog.
