I'm toast but I wasn't there. At least I knew enough that Cunningham wouldn't be on the plaza as he was scheduled for the tent.
11. have you raked any leaves this year? no - 50 yes - 2 (That's like a double loss for those 2 people. Not only did they have to rake leaves, but they also lost out on sheep league.) 12. now give me a word that rhymes with Tatooine Halloween - 6 Higuain - 5 Magazine - 3 Dantooine - 2 Clean - 2 Poutine - 2 Mean - 2 Cuisine - 2 Jellybean - 2 Bluejean - 1 Pantene - 1 Green - 1 Heroine - 1 Matoon - 1 Boinge - 1 Tattooing - 1 Joline - 1 Trampoline - 1 Gasoline - 1 Vaseline - 1 Dramamine - 1 Go-between - 1 Spleen - 1 Ruin - 1 Shmatooine - 1 Submarine - 1 Picayune - 1 Tangerine - 1 Wintergreen - 1 Platoon - 1 Grenadine - 1 Tambourine - 1 Monsoon - 1 Baboonie - 1 None - 1 (Dantooine is the perfect answer. But there are actually lots of really good answers here: gasoline, tambourine, Higuain, etc, but Halloween is definitely a worthy one.) 13. do have a AAA membership? yes - 28 no - 24 14. what do you have more of in your refrigerator right now: pizza, water, salad stuff, or lunchmeat? water - 16 lunchmeat - 13 salad - 12 pizza - 11 15. The best US National Park to visit, besides Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Great Smoky Mountains, Rocky Mountain, Everglades, Acadia, Glacier, Badlands, Grand Teton, Olympic, Arches, Mammoth Cave, Big Bend, Cuyahoga Valley, Joshua Tree, American Samoa, Bryce Canyon, Biscayne, Canyonlands, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Capitol Reef, Crater Lake, Carlsbad Caverns, Zion, and Channel Islands (list of US National Parks HERE) Denali - 31 Congaree - 8 Indiana Dunes - 2 Sequoia - 2 Dry Tortugas - 2 Hawai'i Volcanoes - 1 Mount Rainier - 1 Wind Cave - 1 Jellystone - 1 Sleeping Near National Lakeshore - 1 ???? no answer - 1 I don't give a ---- - 1 (Has anybody here actually been to Denali? I sure haven't. I've never even been to Alaska. I'm going to assume the 3rd to last person meant Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, but sleeping near national lakeshore is much funnier. Indiana Dunes is another one that wasn't even a legit option a few years ago. I used to drive by it all the time when I was working in Chicago and Michigan City. Unlike Denali, it's a nearby place that we could actually realistically go to.)
Crew Sheep Open Cup Semifinal Results DrunkandDisorderly vs hardhead 298 vs 316 hardhead is the winner! TownKrier vs 110toyourleft 314 vs 298 TownKrier is the winner! A huge upset! Somebody actually knocked DrunkandDisorderly out!
@DrunkandDisorderly, are the drunk posts forthcoming? Will you get carded by the victor? @hardhead, you are a great mod, but my good wishes for the final are on the other side of the playing field.
I've been to Denali twice, and been fortunate enough to see Mt. McKinley both times (it's often shrouded in clouds). I worked my way through college in Alaska, for four summers. My family moved there after I graduated from high school. Alaska national parks have a scale that's hard to wrap your mind around. Denali is nearly 5 million acres, but is only the third largest national park in Alaska (and the country). As I recall, it's roughly the size of Massachusetts and has only one 87 mile road in the entire park. It's a stunning, awe-inspiring, humbling place.

Now I have not lived the presumably fantastical life of @Minnman. But... Have I mentioned my parents’ quest to go to every national park? They have currently visited 35, but they emphasize that number does not include national monuments.

Any one of those top 5 players could win the whole thing! And the bottom of Division One is even closer. There's almost nothing separating ZipSix from 614life. DOGSO's win this week brought him right back in to contention for one of the automatic promotion spots in Division Two. Nothing has been decided there. On the other hand, down in Division Three, Alneri and Minnman seem to have automatic promotion locked up. Luckily for everyone else, there are still a bunch of other promotion spots up for grabs.
Fortunately, I passed out on the couch watching my Bungles lose so I didn't get a chance to make a fool of myself here. Congrats on the victory @hardhead!
I can't believe that only one other sheep answered Friedel. Arguably the greatest American keeper of all time. That and answering Trapp on the who will be here next season blew the chance for victory.
Clear delineation between Bigsoccer join dates on this question/answer? Also, can we go into a discussion on how mulching blades are worth the extra cost so that we never, ever have to rake leaves again?
I suspect it was because you were resting starters vs a lower league side to make a run at the league title race, but I’ll take it.
