This is going on my quiz for tomorrow in the "identify the parts of speech" section.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Please give me more simple sentences.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Without complex (multiword) verbs -- action verbs preferred. I need 4 more. Also try to use a past participle as an adjective. Go.

A lady copy editor just complemented me on my U.P. t-shirt. I was kind of embarassed since I'm only wearing it because I'm behind on laundry.

I am trying to determine if I've got it in me to play in a soccer league this summer. I'd be a goalie 'cause I have no skillz and I'm huge.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan has decided to play in a soccer league this summer.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

That was quick!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd like to play in some tennis tournaments. I can't take the commitment of a league.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan, how are your knees and do you have insurance? That seems to be the deciding factor....

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Also how much do you like to sweat under loads of protective gear?

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

PS My extra credit question was to write at least two sentences describing the ball of pants photo, using at least one adjective and one adverb.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

knees: middlin'
insurance: yes

Loads of protective gear? I think they get some gloves...

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Shin guards! And possibly knee braces.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

I doubt this league will be that serious, but who knows.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm pretty sure everyone needs shin guards, actually. I mean, would YOU wade into a forest of kicking feet without them?

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:07 (seventeen years ago) link

A very good point!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:08 (seventeen years ago) link

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I love golf.

― PORNTIPSGUZZARDO (kenan), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

this is not something that one would immediately intuit about me, but it's true. I also enjoy that most broville of video games: Golden Tee.

― PORNTIPSGUZZARDO (kenan), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

also, thanks to the buy one get one free offer at jewel this week i have eaten an entire package of thomas' bagels today. the bagels alone gave me 128% of my daily allowance of sodium. also 66 grams of protein, 1720 calories, 18% of my fat intake, 114% of my carbohydrates, and 72% of my dietary fiber*

fuck golden tee. i only play unless there is no other video game available. also, about 2 months ago me and this dude john got hustled at golden tee at tuman's by a couple of serbians. i think we bought out for $10 each after the 4th hole.

― chicago kevin says it was nice knowing you all (chicago kevin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

How come YOU had to buy out when you'd been hustled?

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

we were playing for two or three dollars a hole? must have been two. it was obvious we were going to lose all 18 so we bought out for 10 bucks.

― chicago kevin says it was nice knowing you all (chicago kevin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

In addition to having never skied, I've also never played regulation (not mini-) golf. I think Joe Coverdill (who once coached Denver Nuggets star Dan Issel) taught me us how to swing the club in 6th-grade gym class, but that was the extent of it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't believe I haven't played any of you at golden tee. I love golden tee, but no one ever wants to play. (I'm not that good).

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

jeff i suck at it and at that bar in lincoln park i think i played 6 holes. but you may have left by then.

― chicago kevin says it was nice knowing you all (chicago kevin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

If you're going to suck at something, video golf is not a bad thing to suck at.
