I've been on the North Shore for that. It's amazing watching those guys surf pipeline in contest situations. You have to have balls the size of coconuts even to paddle out much less take off on one of those monsters.

Our Sports Dept. gets credentials to be there and cover it whenever it's here. The sports anchor (another Eagles fan) offered me a credential to go with them but I was out of town that weekend.
Other than that... naw, not really.

I'll go next time you snag an extra ticket. Thanks in advance.
I had the opportunity to go to the Masters back in 2000 but I had to pass also because of a previous commitment. Of all times to schedule a vacation I had to choose that week. I will say that of all the sporting events I'd like to attend, (other than seeing the Eagles win a Super Bowl in person) The Masters pretty much tops the list.
even over a magic title?
I'm a Sixers fan again.
I switch loyalties faster than you eat a bucket of Popeye's fried chicken, homeboy.
kfc owns popeyes noob
Nothing owns Popeyes. Their spicy chicken and red beans and rice give me a farging hard on.
only mexicans eat beans and rice
I eat corn and rice when I train for triathlons.
Holla.
And KFC sucks. Their chicken gives me the shtein runs. Popeye's owns all except Maryland Fried Chicken which you poor saps in the northeast don't have.

Bojangles kicks the shtein out of them both combined.

im in junior high with a b plus grade,
at the end of the day i don't hit the arcade,
I walk from school to my moms apartment,
I got to tell the sucaks everyday "don't start it",
cause where I'm at if your soft your lost,
to say on course means to roll with force,
a boy named Rob is chillin in a Benz,
in front of my building with the rest of his friends,
I give him a pound, oh i mean i shake his hand,
he's the neighborhood drug dealer, my man,
i go upstair and hug my mother,
kiss my sister, and punch my brother,
i sit down on my bed to watch some tv,
(machine gun fire) do my ears decieve me,
Nope, thats the fourth time this week,
another fast brother shot dead in the street,
the very next day while im off to class,
my moms goes to work cold busting her ass,
my sisters cute but she got no gear,
i got three pairs of pants and with my brother i share,
see there in school see i'm made a fool,
with one and a half pair of pant you aint cool,
but there's no dollars for nothing else,
i got beans, rice, and bread on my shelf,
every day i see my mother struggling,
now its time i've got to do something,
i look for work i get dissed like a jerk,
i do odd jobs and come home like a slob,
so here comes Rob hes cold and shivery,
he gives me two hundred for a quick delivery,
i do it once, i do it twice,
now theres steak with the beans and rice,
my mother's nervous but she knows the deal,
my sister's gear now has sex appeal,
my brothers my partner and we're getting paper,
three months later we run our own caper,
my family's happy everything is new,
now tell me what the farg am i supposed to do,
popeyes > kfc > dog food > bojangles
Almost anything edible > Bojangles > Popeyes > dog food > dog shtein > KFC

This isn't included in the list, but I didn't know where else to put it.
My wife, son and I decide to go to today's game and fireworks. Since last night's game was rained out, today was a double-header.
Three tickets were $24 (right behind home plate), parking $3, and we spent about $20 on ballpark food and drinks. So the whole night was under $50 for two baseball games and a fireworks show.
And, to top it all off, the Ft. Myers pitcher threw a no-hitter in the first game (http://www.miraclebaseball.com/news/?id=6752).
And the brat was good (the food, not the kid - though he was well behaved, too).
