Trust me when I say #4 should rule everyone out.

At least he cusses in English.

Georgia, don't you have a cathedral to visit?

I'll play racquetball with you. I'm not competitive and don't care about the rules or score, but we would have fun.

Kathy, go find yourself a court in Denver, step into it, and begin playing. It will be exactly as if Tania was actually there. Trust me.

Tania Rochelle said...

Really? That'd be great.

FUN seems to be the part my hubby doesn't get.

Tania Rochelle said...

And Biggy, bite me.

lest anyone thinks I'm being mean, she does look very hot in her raquetball apparel. At least when I'm receiving serve, the view is pleasant.

t: your qualification #5( not to mention #7)is going to cut your prospects for qual. #1 in half.

Biggy - clearly you've never seen me play a racquet sport. The only reason I would ever play racquetball is to hang out with your wife.

Tania Rochelle said...

which SHOULD be reason enough for anyone.

Thank you, Kathy.

honey, we have plenty of other opportunities to hang out (i.e.-mt. biking) that don't require me to suffer from boredom on a racquetball court.

And remember, I've offered to fly you on multiple occasions to Denver to hang out with Kathy. But if you go and play racquetball with her, you must have Randy videotape it so I can win the $100,000 prize on America's Funniest Videos.

I'll play racquetball anytime...but I'll need a safety helmet and goggles.

I just told my GF that we needed to start playing and she laughed at me and said no because we just bought tennis racquets, rollerblades, I am looking at a new bike and want a croquet and badmitton set.

A girl can dream can't she?

Oh, and I disagree with rule #7: "Must not scream the F-word while little children are watching through the glass"...f-bombs are always appropriate regardless of the sporting event and the glass is there for the purpose of protecting children from profanity.
