Title: NASSM 2014: Miscellaneous Banter
Post by: SHiNY on June 13, 2014, 10:19:19 AM
I think I'm supposed to be at JFK Airport tomorrow morning at 5:19 am, but I can't remember why?

Has anyone left to travel for NASSM yet? Post up your "selfies" (stupid word) of your travels!

Monday.  I'm driving with the MKC caravan and joining them for dinner at some special burger joint Monday night.  I'll leave them after dinner and head to Bushkill.  Should get there before midnight!

You want me to have a beverage waiting for you Tuesday??

On second thought, no thanks. I want to go out and prerun the run I have to lead before I do anything else. I'll catch up with everyone after that.

I know the Texans have been on the road this week, but I'm not sure they are on this forum.

There's a pack of us that have been running around the NorthEast for about a week.

Surprised y'all didn't sense the disturbance in the Force.

Today we're gonna take a look at Bahston. Headed for NASSM tomorrow.

By the way, other than some of the roads beating our cars apart, we're having a blast!

See y'all tomorrow!  :cool:

This winter was not kind to the roads in PA.
At least we have an excuse why the roads suck at the moment.

Normally they suck and it's simply due to the fact that no one in PA seems to understand how to pave or fix a road.

Now see if Rick James was there you wouldn't have been running around and maybe, just maybe you would have gotten to go to Chuck E Cheese.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornhole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornhole)

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Cornhole (disambiguation).
Typical cornhole board

Cornhole, also known as Tailgate[1] Toss, bean bag toss, corn toss, baggo or bags and even Lawn Darts For Drunks[citation needed] is a lawn game in which players take turns throwing bags of corn at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. A bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a team or player reaches the score of 21."

"Bean Bags" is a long-held traditional picnic game in eastern PA.  The emergence of the term "cornhole" is both strange and a bit disturbing to me.   :nuts:

And the traditional 45 degree bean bag surface resembles nothing like the much flatter and longer boards I've seen with folks that term the sport "c0rnh013".  Not sure about the new game's rules, but I'll be happy to whup up on any bean bag opponents!   :cool:

I have the Peachtree 10K in Hotlanta this Fri the 4th - supposed to be a high of 93 for the day so I'd say 80 or so when i start. I really feel for those who start through the next 90 minutes as they work through the later start corrals. Oh, and BTW it's also hilly on top of that. Might as well get all the bits included at the same time. All we need is a 15mph headwind and the picture is complete....

Scaaaa-rue that!!!  It takes me almost 90 mins to complete a 10K let alone go out when it's 80+.  The winter running spoiled me and now I have no tolerance for anything above 65. :(

Good luck!!!
