   1. I was gonna say Suzy Q.

   2. My thought exactly. Suzy Q is good too.

      1. Jo Blo?

         1. Nives? (Scott Pilgrim)

2. You dated Flo Jo?!

   1. See, I knew someone would get it eventually.

      (So...say her name, or keep letting people come up with funny ones for now? The latter, I think)

      1. I was gonna say Roseanne Roseannadanna, but she has seven letters (you didn't say they couldn't be repeated, right?)

      2. Bo Cho?

3. 'bone power!

   1. Sousaphoner here, but hat's off to these T'boners.

4. This is ridonkulous. "400-pound Washington running back Tony Picard is an unstoppable force".

   1. it looks like they are playing 8 or 9 man football, which makes it a little less impressive.

   2. BEEFTANK!

      1. BEEFTANK! is a QB though, right?
         Also, like two feet shorter.

         1. Yeah. But still. BEEFTANK!

5. So, I'm going to a reception with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tonight. I may or may not get to actually interact with him. Any questions I should ask (that don't involve Airplane! reference)?

   1. does he watch basketball? any favorite teams/players?

   2. Accidentally call him "Lew".

   3. Challenge him to a Kung Fu match.

      1. I considered the Bruce Lee angle. In the end, I just shook his hand and introduced him to a 6th grade teacher I had met at the event (a "VIP" reception to kick off a STEM conference).

         1. "...introduced him to a 6th grade teacher..."

            As in, "Mr. Abdul-Jabbar, this is Ms. Smith. Ms. Smith, this is Mr. Abdul-Jabbar. I think you two will find you've got a lot in common. Well, I'm off to the buffet!"?

            1. Pretty much. 🙂

               I dragged the guy over, shook kareem's hand and said I would like him to meet so-and-so, then got out of the way. It was fun.

               1. That. Is. Awesome.

6. I'm surprised it hasn't been announced here yet that UND stopped UM women's 62-game winning streak in hockey.

   1. all good things....

7. Her name was Chi Le.

   1. Tell me she was hot.

      1. She was, actually. I traded up many times in high school and college (confidence works, dudes), but that was a major trade-up, because at the time I had those ridiculously oversized glasses and a healthy helping of acne. She was short, curvy and two(?) years my senior. She got a lot of attention from the guys that summer (it was a program for HS kids at MSU, Mankato) and for whatever reason, I stood out to her. I broke up with her in September because I couldn't handle "long distance" at the time. I found out later that when she called and I ended up breaking up with her, she was calling to invite me over for her birthday. Ugh.

   2. I'm imagining her as being very short and she likes to wear tuxedos with ski pom hats.

      

      1. She was indeed very short (maaaaaybe five feet) but seemed to prefer tee shirts and skirts.
