jonpin's Red Sox fandom seems to have rubbed off on me through his LJ. Hehe, I don't think I've ever actually deliberately watched baseball before.
So, we finally got a new gym teacher. You see, the gym teacher we were supposed to have was - on maternity leave I believe? - and in the meantime we had the long term sub of Mrs. Patton (sp?). As I've (probably) said before, she didn't enforce any of the rules, and the result was to actual soccer as randomly moving pieces and occasionally capturing was to chess. But today we got a new permanent gym teacher - no clue what's happening to the original one - Mr. Skorchola (sp???)[3]. Unlike Mrs. Patton, he actually made us run around the track and stretch before playing, and he actually made us follow (most of) the normal rules. Most of the people were complaining afterward how tired they were, but it wasn't that bad. Well, admittedly I was goalie, but still... :)
Rather strange. Today I got an email from somebody - at first I thought it was spam and deleted it, then I went back and looked at it - containing a George W. Bush quote, a Dan Quayle quote, and - and this the key thing - a note that this person knows a different version of one of the Dan Quayle quotes in my sigfile (specifically, the one about losing one's mind).
Now, I haven't replied to this person yet, but who the hell is this, why haven't they identified themselves, and who could possibly be so bored as to send me corrections to my sigfile?!

I'm enjoying gym as long as we don't have to do weight training *hides*.
See you tomorrow!

RED SOX SUCK!
Date: 2003-10-12 08:31 pm (UTC)Seriously, you picked just about the worst team to even think about being a fan of.... Boston... hehe.
You do realize how much people in this part of the country hate Boston, don't you? You are insane to say you like the Red Sox and live in NJ at the same time. I mean, this is a rivalry that has been ongoing since 1918.
Also, as proven by Saturday Night Live in the World Series last year... EVERYTHING Boston roots for looses. They stated that they, Red Sox Fans, would root for the Yankees because they knew that it would make them loose. And they did. For example, lets say Boston rooted for Gravity... EVERYONE in Boston would be floating 4 feet off of the ground right now.

Date: 2003-10-21 02:08 am (UTC)I've been in a number of Nomic games, myself, and a lot of my friends in high school were even more deeply into it. I went to the sort of school where Hofstadter was practically issued to us.
