I can live with that now and again. Just not every day! Latest news is that the building inspector is on vacation this week, and we needed inspections for basement floor and backfill. A "relief" inspector came out, was there two minutes, handed us the "passed" slip and was on his way. Aaaaaah! That's what we need. Not the regular guy who is a dipsh!t.

Indeed, indeed! :D:D:D

G'morning Box from the left coast. Much alcohol consumed last night, as always seems to be the case with FTer dinners. Fortunately the hangover doesn't seem too harsh.

If my calendar is correct I believe we have yet another Box Birthday to celebrate today. Happy Birthday mnmag!!

Happy Birthday mnmag

Don't fret, January is almost over. That means the "resolutioners" will soon fade back into the obscurity that is their couch, reruns of Friends on TBS, and a bucket of fried chicken. And we can reclaim the civility of our gym.

In the final weeks, please try and stay calm. I was frustrated at all the shenanigans last night too, but guy with the brown New Balances, you took it just a tad too far when you sprayed the sweaty nasty guy with the bottle of disinfectant because he refused to wipe down the machines after he was done. I do, however, applaud your effort at maintaining a hygienic atmosphere.

And to you Mr. Tighty-wighties in the locker-room, I guess I have to thank you for not walking around completely nude. I hate to break this to you, but your underwear revealed that either you sat in a pile of mud or you too ate at the Popeyes in Terminal B in ATL before sitting on a plane for 4 hours with a busted loo. I feel your pain sir, I really do. But please, burn the underwear.

To the gentleman who was doing "circuits of random," no, I'm not going to get out of your way because you have gym A D D and can't stay at a station for more than 20 seconds. I'm staying put for at least 5 minutes and I'm not going to let you weasel in simply because you cheer really loudly for yourself when you complete a set of 3. Even though it's very amusing.

And finally a parting word to the girl in the black sports bra. I applaud your flexibility almost as much as I applaud your wardrobe of choice. Unfortunately, you're interrupting my workout routine by attracting not only the 3 Guatemalans who were trying so hard to speak to you in broken English, but also every guy in the surrounding zip code to be within view of you, your cleavage, and your workout routine that would make Jenna Jamison blush. I really wanted to use those mats to do push-ups, unfortunately I was afraid I was going to get in the way of the crew of people building stadium-seating surrounding the mats.

Black sports bra girl, you're more than welcome to continue using our little gym, just please wait until after the resolutioners give-up to bust that little outfit out again. :-:

Yours in :rolleyes:,

belynch

Bravo, Bravo. Well put. I hated amateur month back in my NYSC days and cut back on my visits in January to reduce my level of :mad:

The fares are not atrocious most times, so it does not have to be done within the confines of that sale. I would ideally like to go for a Leafs-Devils game and wear my Devil Red* everywhere.

Nice. I haven't thought to try there recently.

Welcome to Teh Box, PRGDiscoGal!

Motion to waive Box hazing for the above seconded. If she came to us as a result of PRG, she has therefore seen more than most and still decided to hang out. That makes her OK in my book. :-:










* Wearing my Devils jersey today; had to go on campus at community college in Deeeeeeep South Jersey this afternoon. I'm walking out to my car and a kid looks at me and says "Ugh, :rolleyes:, a Devil fan....Go Phlyers, Go Phlyers." He was shorter than me, so I made sure to place my one-fingered response right at his face level.

(Welcome to the box PRGDiscoGal, please let us know when you'd like to schedule the hazing.)

Being that she out drank some of the BOX regulars I believe that her hazing is complete!!! :cool:

Indeed. He laughed and kept walking, and I didn't even bother making eye contact. As I was walking away, the response went something like "haha, a finger right in my face". Like this idiot was happy that he was flipped off...I shouldn't expect much else phrom a Phlyers Phan. :rolleyes:
