Off-Topic / Re: Do you like Baseball, who's your favorite team?

« on: June 30, 2011, 09:05:39 pm »Message ID: 377445

My favorite team is the NY Mets, but they are in a bad spot financially and performance wise.  Locally, I love going to watch the Triple-A baseball Norfolk Tides.  It's a great little park in Norfolk and for 10 bucks you get front row seats and excellent baseball almost on par with major league baseball.

I act like John Force and punch the gas to beat everyone off the line in my minute Honda Fit.

Love dogs, but I like cats more.  They smell better and are independent without slobbering in your face and begging for food at the table.

My first two 360's got the dreaded red ring of death and I can't bring myself to spend the dough on another one.  Maybe the slim systems are better made.....

Off-Topic / Re: What is your favorite video game?

My favorite video game is an old one.  Final Fantasy III on the Super NES with Chrono Trigger not far behind on my list.  Graphics are great on newer systems, but the gameplay on these older games is hard pressed to be beat.

Besides money that is.   I collect old school video games, namely Atari 2600.  I also collect beer bottle caps, have over 200 different bottle cap variations and/or types of beer.

Off-Topic / Favorite roller coaster or amusement park?

« on: June 30, 2011, 08:45:35 pm »Message ID: 377427

My favorite amusement park is Busch Gardens in Williamsburg and Apollo's Chariot is my favorite roller coaster.  I've been on the Intimidator 305 feet roller coaster, but it just wasn't that thrilling for the height.

Off-Topic / Any Southeastern Skiers? Yeah, it's Summer, but I can't wait for Winter

« on: June 30, 2011, 08:43:17 pm »Message ID: 377424

I live in Virginia and the best skiing I've found around here is Snowshoe in West Virginia.  I've been to Lake Placid in NY and that was great, but I've never been to the great ski resorts like Smugglers Notch in Vermont or anywhere out West.  The worst skiing was in North Carolina a few years ago.  If you went off the snow pack on either side you would be skiing on dirt and rock.  It would be cool to get a group of people from here to go skiing sometime.  Most of my friends are non-skiers, but maybe one day.

You can always get warm in the cold weather with enough layers, but you can't get cool even in your birthday suit during the summer scorchers.  Bring on the Winter any day for me, plus my favorite thing to do is ski.

I've never won more than 3 bucks on the Mega Millions or Powerball, but I still play one dollar a week. The most I ever won was 300 dollars on a 5 dollar Monopoly scratcher ticket.  I've won 100 dollars quite a few times, but in the end as everyone else I'm sure I've lost more than I've won.
