WOMVII Meal Post

Are we going to get a food plan ready or are we going to hunt and eat turtles from the river?  I'm good either way.  I say since Justin is the commish this year, he assigns food duties.

I don't know what this picture is, but I thought it struck me funny.

Tires and Fires (Kick'em and Light'em)

Seeing as how our proposed date (Mar 11-13) for WOMVII is about 3 weeks away, perhaps we should solidify plans for that.

My only hope is that the dearth in blog traffic and the general malaise in excitement for this year is our individual suppression of emotion that will erupt in a deluge of primeval screams and beastly facial hair leaving all in its wake dumbfounded if not more manly.

First, we need to find out where we are going. Adam--have you been in contact with PawPaw? I know you have a baby and all, but maybe you can use Junior as leverage in getting the old man's permission. I'm sorry that so much depends on you, but it's all we got (for free).

Second, but just as important (although contingent on Adam's answer), is March 11-13 still good for everyone. Seeing as how I am the furthest away (save Aaron), we are going to be in town that week before anyway (they give us a week off for Mardi Gras down here), so it works best for me.

Third, after Adam answers number 1--let's get a roll call of who all is in and then we can plan meals accordingly.

Fourth, I love you.

Lebo's Loonies

Tennessee Tech upset Austin Peay tonight at the Hoop. I started looking around on the internet for Lebo's Loonies links and pics and didn't find too much. I wondered if any of you guys had any extra pictures from games or trips. I'd love to get them all scanned in a on a web album. I don't know if there is any kind of loonie section now.

I did find this Facebook Group for TTU Loonies, but unfortunately it has no members.

I remember at some point when I was moving last summer I came across one of our old fan information sheets that I used to print up with all the players information. Probably my favorite of all time was, "Do it for Dorthea!"

We also have had many impostors across the Southeast. I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

UT-Chattanooga


Auburn - Jeesh...this one was almost obvious trademark infringement. Damn, we should have gotten a sponsor like this for our shirts who would've given us deals on food.

I'm also proud to say that this googleing "lebo's loonies" now brings you to our blog.

Andrew Stacy is older!

Happy Birthday Jolly ole Friend! You are celebrate as a great friend, English Teacher, Golden Duke Champion, the only person I know that can open his goozle, and the guy who once was pissed at me for picking EDNA (no central heat and air! Andrew hates to be hot.).

Men feel free to add to this!

Numnuts! Nunley is 30!

Happy Birthday Adam!

Searching "the Nunley" brought up some interesting things today.

Have you ever been to Nunley Ranch? It's in Pelham, TN and I'm surprised you don't already have a t-shirt from there.

I also left you a little surprise on wikipedia wikipedia.

_____ Anniversary of Citico Creek

I can't remember how many years ago we ventured to the Tennessee-North Carolina wilderness to the land of the bad black bears, but every MLK day I think back to Landon reading "I have a dream..."


The 2nd post ever on The Men of EDNA was actually about the Return to Citico.

Does anyone have online pictures for the First Citico Creek adventure?

Christmas Roll Call

Let's call roll and see when and who will be in the Nashville area for Christmas.

Thought'd be nice if we all could get together for dinner or something over the holidays now that some of us are scattered hither and yon.

Stacys- Coming in on Dec 21 and can stay indefinitely through New Years.

Nunley's Only State Championship

The only State Championship Hendersonville will ever win.  C-Town will go ahead and give this one to you.  I bet it was your 13 tumbles that won it for you.

Commandos dominate Lions 28-10

Obviously, #51 is preoccupied with baby diapers to start trash talking about this week's game so I'll do it for him.

sad times for the makers of shrubberies

Men,

I have a new job. If you are in the market for a new bank, come see me. I now work for Suntrust, and I am in the Hillsboro Village branch. Andrew, Suntrust does not have a location in Louisiana, so keep your dirty creole money where it is. I still haven't met your daughter.

Also, we have a contract on a house. You can view it here.

This mother of a yard is big enough to host the next Manlympics.

Lastly, U2 is playing in Nashville in July. Hope to see you all there.

I miss you all.

So Andrew your wife is Pregnant!

What? I found out on facebook. I guess you can't please everyone. But in honor of your sucess I will post this link....http://stuffchristianslike.net/2010/10/zach-galifianakis-gets-two-ferned-awkward-awesome-video/

Enjoy and congrats! Men I miss you all and I repent from my lack of checking the blog.

Story

Mystery revealed

Men,
I apologize for the delay in writing this.

On Saturday morning at 9:00, I left on one of the most ridiculous trips I have ever been on.

But before I get into that, I feel I explain a little bit first. We go to church with a gentleman we will call S. S is wealthy. S has never been married. S is also retired.

So for fun, he goes to casinos all over the place, and has been doing so for some time. He goes so much, that he has acquired a certain status with multiple casinos. These statuses allow him certain amenities. This trip showcases a few of those amenities.

About 2 months ago, S had an idea to bring a few friends with him to the casino, and the casino thought that was a swell idea. S said, i want to bring my banker and some of his friends, and they became bigger fans of this idea. He had been promised a limo to pick him up and drive him home in the past, so he cashed that in for this trip. Imagine their disappointment when S's banker and his friends turn out to be me and 4 friends under the age of 30. I imagine they were hoping for 6 "whale's" like S, but instead it was one "whale" and 5 "minnows". On to the trip....

At 9:00, we had this pick us up in Nashville. This would be our ride to and from the casino, round trip. (Its worth pointing out that every bill or tab we had along the way, the casino picked up.)



Instead of heading straight to the casino at 11:00, S and the Casino had arranged for us to play 9 holes of golf at a course nearby. all golf expenses, including lunch and range balls were on the casino's tab. Not only that, we had a host there to play with us who was a former PGA professional for 15 years on the west coast, giving us free lessons. Landon, this guy was money. Had a Bob Murphy-esque swing, but each shot was so pure it was sickening. Finally, the casino decided to send the General Manager of the casino out to play with us as well. Imagine his surprise when he sees the "whales" S has brought into town.

After golf, we head to the hotel and they set us up with our rooms. S has his usual suite, pictured below. It is sick.






We had 2 other rooms, that were nice as well, just not suites. Again, the hotel comped all of these rooms.

We clean up and head down to the casino. S is an all-star. Everyone knows his name, and welcomes him back. We gamble for an hour or so before dinner. We have all been comped buffet dinner, which was awesome. Casino food is actually pretty good. and they had everything imaginable.

We gamble for the rest of the night. Half of us end up winning, the other half lose what we came with. I was in the losing half. Aaron, there was only 2/5/no limit poker available, so there was no 3/6. I was bummed about that.

We had free breakfast on Sunday morning at one of their restaurants. S had comp money left over, so he got 4 pies to go with the rest of the free money. Then our bus brought us back to Nashville.

The moral of this story? Casino's have so much money, they can waste it on low-spending players such as myself. As long as you know the right people.

I like his intensity
