First, we had morning practice, which was unfortunate. We did a lot of 100's on various fast intervals, and made ourselves both tired and loopy. Immediately following practice, we went to the cross country meet to cheer folks on. Ah...before I continue, I should mention that we were all in boxers (with the crotch hole taped, of course) with letters painted on our chests. At the meet, we spelled various phrases for the runners, including "Go Miner Cross Country", "Git R Dun", "Groin Mess" and "S'more Gin". And, specially for the thermo professor running, we chanted "Entropy". The funny thing about THAT is, according to the theory of entropy, chanting entropy was bringing the universe closer to total annihilation and the utter state of non. Fun, huh?

Oddly enough, women seem drawn to men in boxers with letters on their chests. We got a lot of picture requests, until a creepy old lady in a chair yelled at us for being inappropriate. It was actually kind of funny...first she asked if we were a fraternity. That's a silly question...we throw much better parties than the Frat houses. And our female acquaintances never sleep with more than one guy a night. Then she asked if we were wearing boxers or swim shorts, to which the entire team replied a barked "Boxers"! I thought she would fall out of her chair at that one, but she recovered enough to start scolding us in that "I'm-old-and-I-didn't-take-my-laxative-today" voice that all old people seem to have. So we left shortly after that, and the day continues...

And, for those following the waffle-watch, I had an utter failure today...I put too much batter in, and the whole waffle iron started to lift apart, goozing semi-warm batter onto the entire counter. I think I will avoid making waffles when exhausted from now on...next time it might catch on fire, or start absorbing the butter. Then where would we be? We would have to somehow stop a waffle from absorbing the world, and that would take many knives and even more syrup to make it tasty. Sort of like a tripped out version of Strega-Nona...
