Just one younger brother, but he looks nothing like me (mail man's kid perhaps)

WWF was in the area and we were stopping through really early in the morning. Andre the Giant and his peeps stopped in the place and wanted it to themselves so he bought lbreakforst for everyone in the place.RING4CHI wrote:I would too.

Is that a wolfdog or a husky on the couch shying away from that Bears roar?
we got her from a rescue center,they thought she was a wolf cub and was going to kill her..but we asked a vet to look at her and he told us it was a Husky puppy ,so we took her home...best dog I have ever had..

Cool- I was curious, she def looks like she's a mix of some sort.
I have two rescue wolf hybrids and they're AWESOME animals, they had a bunch of pups 6 months ago and I have kept two of the pups. We live on 8 acres so its more doable.
I'll probably wind up only being able to keep one of the pups though, theyre a handful.

Keeping the twins in the womb a little long dont ya think. LOL Welcome aboard
My two older girls knew how to sing the fight song when they were 2 and 3. My youngest... well everything she says sounds like FUCK right now. I think that pretty much sums up what it's like to be a Bears fan recently.

Welcome. Some of our content is NC17...parental guidence is advised.
I realize this may not be a popular stand, but I've never been a fan of the NSFW content. There are plenty of other places to find and/or share that stuff. I mean, don't get me wrong... I f*&king love me some porno... but is that who we want to be?wab wrote:Welcome. Some of our content is NC17...parental guidence is advised.
For the record... I haven't yet seen anything I would hide from a 15-year-old, but I fear the NSFW tag gradually lowers the standards. Just my thoughts.
Oh hey, look... here's a new guy. Welcome to BFO Gaytoe.

We basically keep it to that one thread. I pretty much keep everything else on tabs. If you see something pretty testy in an unmarked thread, PM me and I'll take care of it.gaba wrote:I realize this may not be a popular stand, but I've never been a fan of the NSFW content.

To get back on track... I've noticed that, while I've been here a lot, I haven't actually participated in the point of this thread, so here goes...
Name: Brian
From: Springfield, MO
Bears fan since 1985... the first football game I remember watching was Superbowl XX.
Favorite Food: anything with lots of veggies in/on it... normal stuff, but packed with veggies... spaghetti with chunks of veggies in the sauce, brats with loads of peppers on top, Veggie Lovers pizza. Anything you can think of would be 10x better with loads of peppers or mushrooms, maybe some brocolli or spinach piled on top.
Favorite Drink: Lemonaid, Cherry Dr. Pepper, Orange Juice. I'm not a non-drinker as a rule, but I don't really do alcohol anymore. I always end up nekkid. Funny when you live in a frat-house. Not so much when your wife and kids are waiting up for you.
Favorite Music: Foo Fighters. Nirvana, with the caveat that Dave is what made it work. Without him they're just another good indy band with great lyrics and music nobody gives a sh*t about. Anything loud and abusive. Sacrilige is a plus... ie, Marilyn Manson kind of kicks ass.
Favorite Bear: Chris Zorich
Misc: I'm so liberal I think socialism is too conservative. I get into fights in atheist groups because other atheists think I'm either too liberal or too intolerant of religious people.

LOL indeed! My wife breathed a huge sigh of relief seeing the ultrasound Twins run in her family and carrying two would have made her head explode. She's not too fond of being pregnant.Rockbear99 wrote:TheBigGrabowski wrote:Misc - Have a 4 year old boy and a girl on the way. He already knows to shout Go Go Bears!

Yeah, my little guy has the "Bear down Chicago Bears" part but the rest usually comes out as danna-nana-na-na-na-nanana, mostly because that's all I remember. Was always really impressed with the drunk guys who'd sing the whole thing shirtless in the middle of winter at the games I went to as a kid.gaba wrote:My two older girls knew how to sing the fight song when they were 2 and 3.

My 10 year old daughter has it down...but that's because I play it and sing it after every TD.
So once we got rid of Grossman, she's heard it a lot more.
