Awake

[roethlisberger7]

Dunno why I'm awake, it's early. Wait, actually, I do, but you can't resist the puppy and I don't want him peeing in the house. I just keep...forgetting...to take him out at night. Which I'm usually REALLY good about doin'. Just not these past few days. Because it gets hard to remember, sometimes, with circumstances...well, but it's cool,

I can't believe they made that thing an action figure. Well, ok. I can. But still.

1. What decision made while not too drunk to actually remember do you regret the most? And "nothing" is a cop out.
2. What's the best birthday you've ever had? I'm thinking childhood here.
3. When was the first time you came to the realization that you had the ability to play a sport professionally?
4. Do you realize where the name "Albuquerque Isotopes" actually comes from, or would you like me to tell you?
5. Who's the best looking person on your friends list, Benny?

[roethlisberger7]

Cause it's awesome, man.

1) You really gonna make me answer this? Okay, it's sort of a long story. So I think I was in 11th grade, playin' WR, datin' this cheerleader - cause that's what football players and cheerleaders do, y'know, date. And she was sorta...frustrated, I guess, in the fact that I wasn't putting out. Anyhow, one night I decided to go to her place to surprise her, and there she is screwin' some guy, I walked in on em. Even worse, this dude in her bed was a football player from a rival school. Man, I was pissed, real pissed, cause it had been like 8 months for us, and I really thought maybe she was the one, y'know? So I go to practice the next day, tell the boys about it, who I saw her with. And all I said was, "Can you take care of this?" which really only meant revenge, and they said yeah. I really don't know what they did, but by the end of the day, man, that whole high school was rippin' her up. All the sports teams were mockin' her, the cheerleaders went crazy on her under the orders of their jock-

[mark_prior]

Yes, I am. It's from, as Jose insinuated, the Simpsons. There's this one episode where they're all in an uproar because they're talking about moving the Springfield Isotopes to Albuquerque. And Springfield Isotopes obviously makes sense because of the nuclear power plant.

[roethlisberger7]

On second thought, I do remember that. But. Don't watch enough TV to remember that particular tidbit. S'kinda cool, though.

1. Have you ever been in a fistfight?
2. What's the fastest you've driven a car?
3. Be honest. What was your favorite football team as a kid?
4. What were you studying in college?
5. I asked Mark this but I'll ask you too. What's the best way to sneak out of a second-floor bedroom?

5. Wait til the authority figures are asleep and tip toe out in your bare feet.

[carpatt]

That's what everyone seems to be saying. It's not a very good plan when your mom can hear an ant fart at fifty paces.

[emmer8]

*laughs* Tie the bedsheets into a rope, tie one end to the bed, throw it out the window and climb down to freedom?

[five9onthebooks]

1. Has it been long enough since we last talked on IM?
2. Is it cool that question #1 was really more of a hint to IM me?
3. What's it like driving something that's been made into an action figure?
4. What's your dog's name?
5. What did you want to be when you grew up?

[roethlisberger7]

1) Yeah, probably. Been awhile, hasn't it?
2) Hey, IM works both ways, y'know! *grins*
3) Aw, I love my H2. Man, you should see this thing. Bright blazin' yellow, sick rims, and inside - ! Aww, buddy. Leather seats, EIGHT TVs, DVD player of course, a speaker that'll blow your eardrums out...it's pimp, man. Awesome.
4) Zeus! Cute little rottweiler. I gotta picture of him around here somewhere if you've never seen 'im.
5) A secret agent. FBI. I even tried stringin' up a rope in our backyard so I could swing down it, like I thought secret agents did? Yeah, that didn't work too well. CRASH. Hurt like hell, too. So I decided I was a little too big and clumsy to be a secret agent - stick out like crazy, big ugly white kid - so. Pro sports it was. Basketball, at first, then football. QB, specifically. QB or nothin'.

3. My kids would be in that thing for ten seconds and have it wrecked. Maybe not Lucas, 'cause he's still so tiny, but Ryan and a car don't go so well together.
4. I'd love to see a picture.
5. You set up a zip line in your backyard?

[roethlisberger7]

3) Well um, I'm never lettin' your kids in my car then. Man, cause my vehicles are my babies. I got a Denali, too. And I'm a little too young to be thinkin' kids yet, I will soon maybe, but right now - you know, quintessential bachelor pad/cars.
4) Here he is. Taken maybe a month ago, so he's a little bigger now, but still as adorable.
5) Tried to set up one, key word tried. It...hurt. But I still think that would be a real cool job, don't you?

[jose_theodore]

1. I am in Pennsylvania, if I brought you beer, could we hang out?
2. How DO you throw a ball that far?
3. If you could play one other sport which would it be?
4. How do you deal with crazy fan girls?
5. I can't think of another question... would you ask me one?

[roethlisberger7]

1) I actually don't drink much beer, but, uh, sure. I could teach you how to throw a ball?
2) It's all about arm power, and knowin' how to throw, and also knowin' how to maximize your distance.
3) Basketball, by far. I actually like basketball better'n football. Man, sometimes I still have NBA dreams. But. See, in basketball, I'd be average. Oh, sure, I coulda gotten drafted, coulda played. But I'd never be great. I'd look at a guy like LeBron James and wanna be that guy so badly. But in football? Man, I gotta chance to be one of the best QBs ever, I know I do, so you dance with what brung ya, so they say.
4) I haven't figured that out yet, cause I don't wanna not be polite, but really, they freak me out. Now that I'm "dating" Natalie Gulbis, it's...slowed. Cause Nat's gorgeous, FHM Top 100 Beautiful Women, pro athlete herself, etc...I think they realize they can't compete.
5) That's cheatin'!

[jose_theodore]

1. I will call you! I am trying to broaden my horizons and meet other athletes.
4. Fan girls scare me, too. Actually in Montréal, most fans scare me because they follow me everywhere and they are not always subtle about it.
5. You still should have asked me something!

[roethlisberger7]

1) Go for it, although really, I'd suggest stayin' away from us football players. *smirks*
4) Yeah, I feel you, man. Fans here are crazy. I mean, they've been great, they're just sometimes...overbearing, and QB's the position they're hardest on. Couple guys this year got me tattoo'd on their arms. My ugly face on their skin for the rest of their lives. Ain't that nuts?
5) You gonna watch football this season?

[emmer8]

1) When're we gettin' you to a hockey game?

2) What about on skates, on the ice?? *grin*

3) If football hadn't worked out, what would you be doing?

4) Where're those photos you, man?

5) Boxers, briefs, or boxer-briefs?

[mark_prior]

Boxers.

[emmer8]

Cotton, flannel or silk?

[mark_prior]

Excellent question. But I do believe you already used your five.
