Stacked!!

There is a joke to be made about her being popular with the boys as she gets older but I’m not comfortable making it.

How do you find out that you’re good at stacking cups?

Obligatory cuss word for Cuss-o-Meter ranking:  Fuck.

    Who the hell paid attention to his political views? I was ten!!

    DPUD, do you still read comic books?

    I liked Green Arrow because he used to give the business to Black Canary.

    She was hawt.

    I always wondered that about opera singers. I mean, who walks around screeching like that until someone says — “you should be in the opera.”

    Funny thing, I think I’ve only ever owned one comic book. Spending time on the intarwebs makes you a bit more comic book savvy.

    That’s true. However I was a pretty big fan of comic books back when I was a children.

    That was back in the day of clear cut good vs. evil; not any of the 40 shades of gray moralizing bullshit that has infected the storylines over the last 20 years.

    And Wonder Woman was hot.

    They actually have the kids do cup stacking in gym class like it’s a real sport.

    Then they try to get you to buy all the cup stacking crap…which basically consists of a bunch of stupid cups.

    Please tell me that’s a joke.

    Tell me about it. My daughter goes to her cup stacking meet this weekend. She’s pretty excited, so naturally we’re all behind her. I guess it’s healthier than hanging out on the Intertubes.

    “They actually have the kids do cup stacking in gym class like it’s a real sport.”

    That makes sense. Can’t really put an eye out with a cup.

    Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

    My nephew’s cousin’s niece’s aunt saw this kid get his finger severed below the knuckle at one of these competitions. Ruined his career. He’s a homeless drug addict now.

  21. Comment by Rosetta on March 31, 2008 7:08 pm

    Cup stacking is an even more ridiculous gym class activity than square dancing.

    Or running under a parachute.

    Was the kid’s name Robert Stack?

    They introduce in gym as a coordination exercise, but then it’s an after school activity. My wife is a coach for my daughter’s 4-man team.

    Go Otters!

    We’re praying that they get hosed in the first round.

  24. Comment by geoff on March 31, 2008 7:11 pm

    Great 1st sentence, geoff. What I meant was that they do it for a week or two in gym, and thereafter it’s an extracurricular activity.

  25. Comment by pajama momma on March 31, 2008 7:12 pm

    Or running under a parachute.

    I loved doing that! Are you crazy? And then the brought the ball out for us to bounce in it? Oh best day ever.

  26. Comment by geoff on March 31, 2008 7:15 pm

    Of course all of Rosetta’s sportier-than-thou posturing will only serve to hoist him higher on his own petard when his kids get sucked into sport stacking.

  27. Comment by pajama momma on March 31, 2008 7:15 pm

    Wait, are you serious geoff?

  28. Comment by Rosetta on March 31, 2008 7:16 pm

    geoff, how do you coach cup stacking?

    Is a whistle or clipboard involved.

  29. Comment by geoff on March 31, 2008 7:21 pm

    Well, the way she coaches it, she basically says: “Yay!! Now go faster you little miscreats!!”

    Is a whistle or clipboard involved.

    Wine. Don’t run out of wine.

  30. Comment by bmac on March 31, 2008 7:22 pm

    The cut-throat world of cup stacking really toughens kids up for future challenges like……faxing.

  31. Comment by geoff on March 31, 2008 7:23 pm

    Wait, are you serious geoff?

    Oh, very. Like I said, the tournament is this very weekend.

    The nice thing about stacking these days is that when my son went through it 3 years ago, it was $20 for the cups and $70 for the cups + electronic mat, and you had to special order everything. Now you can get them anywhere (K-mart, Target, et al.) for $7 and $15, respectively.

    Hahahahahaha!!! Good one.

    I wonder if the guys that are the best at cup stacking get a lot of chicks. I’m guessing no.

    Is cup stacking a professional sport? Is there a steroid scandal?

    Yeah, that sucked. Gagne would have blown his first three run lead save — ever.

    Lot’s of balls on the warning track for the Cubbies today. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow — for me to pull my hair out.

    I’m sending my daughter over there. You won’t like her when she’s angry.

    I gotta stop hanging out in the beta male dating thread at Ace’s. it’s depressing and Allah’s beta male-ishness is enough to threaten my awesome alpha-ness.

    steroids will do that to a person

    geoff, cranky, bmac, Nice Deb: Thanks for stopping by my “Obama Surrender Day” post. The lefty shitbirds that arrived via those megalinks had me speechless for a while this afternoon. I mean, holy shit, there is a severe communication CHASM — I didn’t even know how to respond to some of them.

    Remind them that it’s not good to go off their meds?

    Bring back dodge ball. We played that all the time and it was a blast. Football, basketball, soccer, rope climbing. Even freaking square dancing filled our gym classes. But cup stacking? Preparation for an exciting career as a bar back.
