mr2tony - 2008-11-03 2:54 PM Welp I almost got a slot as a pool reporter covering the Obama rally, but alas I was the runner up in the reporter's race to get the press pass. I suggested running, swimming and biking to determine who got to go, but in the end, the other reporter covered the Republican convention, so they thought she'd have a better grasp on how to handle the event. Oh well.

If you need someone "removed from office" in order to get the gig, let me know.  I have cheap rates for first-time customers.



Thanks. I could take care of this one myself. She's all of about 5'2 and 100 pounds. OK she'd probably kick my butt. But I think I could take her.

yeah he's a tough kid... the rule when they were younger was if there wasn't blood you couldn't cry.. if he fell he'd jump up with his hands in the air " I'M NOt BLEEDING!" and go back playing..

Really? Even the morning after maybe having the stomach flu? Seems like it always struck at night. My mom wouldn't send us to school the next day - and we weren't the types of kids to try to stay home sick, or be kept at home for every little thing, nor were we ever really that sick.

Hurts less then spraining anything!! and seems to heel fast. I have broken 31 bones in my life and displaced 4 joints. I rather just break anything then have to milk a sprain!

Do you not know what it stands for or why I said that?

I said it because my family complains about all the Illinois people coming up to Wisconsin to hunt and for summer vacation.  Essentially that they treat Wisconsin as their big back yard.  I don't necessarily agree, it's just my responsibility to give you a hard time.

Amen to that.

Broken an ankle and a rib (rib hurt the worst) but I've sprained both ankles more times than I can count, dislocated my right shoulder twice and ALL of my fingers at least 2x. 

I would give anything to make them all breaks.

I now can guess the first two but don't know what the last letter is.  But I understand.  I actually go with a friend who is originally from WI.  He was the one that got me started, so I kind of have an out.  And I go up there to hunt with a family from the area, so I'm kind of grandfathered in.  Literally.  The patriarch of the group is like 81 or something like that and is out EVERY year on opening morning.

Wow, that sucks. I wouldn't send a tired, dehydrated kid, esp. a little kid, to sit through a school day. If we ran a fever (over 100), or had thrown up, we stayed home. Otherwise, off to school.

I have a couple of favorites

1. Seventh grade...I told my Mom I was sick and really felt bad. She gave me some cold meds and sent me off to school for the day. I ask to go to the nurse a couple periods into the day. I was hacking up a lung, wheezing and running a fever. Turns out after a trip to the doctors I had strep throat, bronchitis and a sinus infection all at once. I was out of school for the next week.

2. Vacation. 6th grade. Running around playing at the beach. Running away from my brother I step into a barely covered up hole and fall to the ground. I knew I messed up my foot pretty good. I tell my parents... They basically tell me the HTFU and go put some ice on it. The next day we are supposed to leave for home. The next morning it is black and blue and swollen. Do they take me to the doctors? Nope... I walk on a broken pinky toe for the next two days. I still remember the feeling of the bone poking around inside my foot. It was probably the most painful thing ever.

ETA: 1cm lower on the bone and they would have had to put a pin in my foot.... Thanks Mom & Dad.

My boss just came back and told me it was up to me -- I could cover Obama since I had seniority. The other reporter was super excited about going and looked really sad that she wasn't going to be able to go, so I deferred to her.

I'm a sucker.
