That's okay. You're allowed to stay up all night and go to school the next day...at least in this state.

So that's next, eh? It isn't great but it's good. It'll be the first time you've seen Bette Davis and Leslie Howard so you have that to look forward to. That isn't Davis' most famous role, but so far it's the best I've seen. Howard is most famous for his role as Ashley Wilkes (apparently a guy can be named Ashley ) in Gone w/ the Wind.

Well that's even better! You can stay up all night and day watching movies. Averaging 2 hours each and factoring in breaks you should get a good 10 reviews up by bedtime tomorrow!

I typed a few movies in and that's the one that decided to download. I might watch a few on TCM before I watch that one though.

I don't think I'll name my son Ashley

There's a few other things I enjoy doing during the day though. Such as showering, eating, getting sunlight, water. Wait...those last 2 things made it sound like I was a plant.

Oh yeah, you let them sit a good 6-8 months before watching them :haha:
You could always name your son Melanie after Ashley's love interest.

They must have given away a lot of free tickets in KC


Looked more than 22,000 in attendance before the delay

Melanie....

So the game is over?

What's wrong with Melanie? For a girl it's fine (although I'm not sure if it's all that common).

Yep, Tigers didn't not win!

Yeah, that's what I meant; it isn't for a boy though...

Double negative.

The thing about giving your kids names for the wrong sex is that if your son, Melanie, decides that he wants to be a she then there's no reason to change its name.

Only you would give that reasoning.

I am still confused

Maybe it best that way

You've got to cover all your bases when naming kids. You could always give them gender-neutral names like Potato or Apricot. Actually Apricot might be a little too feminine.

Mrs Potato Head

:haha:

Night Catbox

Not sure where Ashley got the female connotation, actually--probably in the 1980s.
Just think how many Lindsey/Lindsays, Baileys, Taylors, etc. there are of both sexes! Must have been the hip thing to name your kid. (also Madison, Addison, Palmer....)
I took a nap during the game so was all set for after the rain delay!
Rodney went down a hat size after getting his haircut!

and by the way, YAY MAGGLIO!!!!!


oops...forgot....this was an away game

What time did the game end up coming back on? I turned it off during Nate Robertson's show and didn't bother putting it back on.

Started about 11:50 EST. *yawn*

1st pitch after rain delay was after 12:05 AM! Rodney and Zoom closed out the game! I thought they had called the game by then!

I saw the stadium clock change into 12:00 as they started up again. Rod and Mario finally brought the delay to a close. I guess I could've gone either way....calling it a CG or finishing it up officially.

at least we won. Remember, their stadium clock is Central Time!
