Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Not a lot to talk about this weekend. I hosted NTT last night (where was lainie?), with Kerry keeping score. We had a lot of fun, even with all the funny names that came in. A chat name was misspelled, instead of pilem, someone typed it as oilem, and it grew from there. Oilem became Oinkem, which became Boinkem, then of course, pokem, strokem, and chokem all had to come in. It was quite funny as I was running down the list of names in every mic spot, trying to kill time while Kerry was finishing up all the guesses and points. It seemed like everytime I opened the mic, another name came in and got me giggling again, lol. We finally asked all the names to leave, because it just got too confusing trying to keep score. One of the culprits for the names forgot which window she was in and accidentally sent her guess to Kerry using that name instead of her real name. NTT is Saturday nights at www.thewolven.com from 9pm-11pm EDT.

Some good football games were played this weekend, too. My favorite college team, the Iowa Hawkeyes beat up on the Purdue Boilermakers Saturday, 47-10. Today Da Bears beat Buffalo 40-7. Wish I'd been able to see that game. Maybe it will be re-aired again later tonight on cable. Then my boys, Dallas, well they got beat pretty good in a tough divisional game against Philadelphia. It was a close game when I was watching in the first half, but apparently things sort of fell apart in the second half. Oh well! Better luck next week!

Can't mention all this without lamenting about the Leafs losing to the Canadiens. Kerry and I were cheering them on while we tried to host NTT. The Blackhawks also lost Saturday, to Columbus. Chicago actually has a pro hockey team? lmao

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians reading this! Have some turkey and stuffing for me!

  1. If you'd laughed any harder during NTT we'd still be trying to help you up off the floor and finish the game now. LOL!

  3. that Leaf loss was a honest one.. new rules in the NHL tie games have to end in a shootout
    So I don't hold my boys accountable on this one especially since they KICKED Ottawa's ass the game before with a 6-0 win :)
