Hello, John

Everybody sings that incorrectly. The actual words are "the bluest
skies you'll *never* see are in Seattle."

But anyway, the next beautiful shots you'll see from Seattle will be
the Seahawks in our beautiful Qwest field doing your Redskins as Paddy
did the drum.

If our defense doesn't collapse (always a possibility with this year's
team) your very good team will have its hands full with Seattle at
home.

Bet you some Pacific NW smoked salmon against...(what the heck do you
have back there in DC?) -I can't eat red shellfish. No point spread,
just a simple win/lose bet.
Harry too, if he wants, as he lives in the DC area. Other than that,
the betting is closed.

Confirm the wager and name your stakes prior to kickoff if you're
interested. Here's hoping your Skins play well enough to finish a close
second tomorrow. :-)

No, you can't pull that 'bad weather' trick with me. I've been there. I
*know* what Seattle is like on a sunny, spring or summer day, and the
skies
are *definitely* the bluest you'll ever see. I've believed that since my
first visit there back in 1969, on my way to Vietnam.

I'm glad to hear your defense is lacking, 'cause last week our offense was
non-existent. I believe we set a new playoff record for the fewest
offensive yards ever gained by any team in a playoff game.

Now *that's* something to be proud of!

I can think of nothing produced locally that would come close to a chunk
of
smoked salmon from the Pike Street Market. A Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab
sandwich from one of the better establishments would be the best shot, but
I don't think it would survive the trip.

Aha! My daughter just had an idea as I was describing this quandary.
Virginia Peanuts! I will wager a can of Virginia Peanuts! Accept the wager
or squirm out of it, your choice!

Nice season for the Redskins John. Nothing to be ashamed of.


I'm ashamed of their last two games, especially the one against Tampa. They
won that one only because I said 'hell with it' and took the dogs for a
walk during the last five minutes. I kinda think that my watching the game
spooks it for the Redskins. I probably should have walked the dogs during
the entire fourth quarter yesterday, then the 'Skins would have had a
chance.

Virginia peanuts it is. One vacuum pack of smoked salmon vs. a can of
Virginia peanuts!

I can taste those goobers now. :-)

As long as he don't send you "boiled goobers".

i quite like boiled goobers.

But we already know you are strange.


Bill, have you ever eaten them? We used to get them at flea markets in
Georgia and Florida. They are definitely an 'acquired taste', but once past
the initial urge to puke, they're great!

Went to the California Culinary Academy for the Friday Buffet last night.
Anniversary. And she did like the tennis bracelet, even if it did not come
from NYC, and was on 70% off sale. They had smoked sturgeon, braised Ahi,
and nice lamb chops as well as another 50' of appetizers. But no where was
boiled goobers.


Do they raise peanuts in CA?

I don't know. Sounds like clever planning. Not only does he get points
for going taking his lady to a musical- she knows darn well he "gave
up" the chance to watch the playoff game in order to accommodate her.
He winds up with a woman who will need to find some nice way to express
her gratitude, plus he still got home in time to watch the final
minutes. I think they call that "strategy" in the Army.

Boy... you sure talk the talk for a man who's only 'half armed'.

Thanks. Now *I* won't be hauled to jail for threatening to wring his
scrawny little neck!

I can't believe that I was being called all these miserable' names while
enjoying a movie with the wife and daughter last night.

The movie? "Cinderella Man". If you've not seen it, do.

Hell why not tell her you don't enjoy musicals and offer to take her out for
a romantic dinner instead.........*after* the game is over or another day.

Same results plus you get to watch the game AND avoid having to sit through
a gay musical. ;-)




Hell, she wants me to take her to see 'Broadback Mountain' (or whatever
it's called)!

After the game, we had Chinese while we watched "Cinderella Man". *That*
was a great movie! It's also what prevented me from responding to all the
