I get a second before you do -- we need more teams in Canada.

[ALL CAPS]

CURRENT "IN" LIST

1. Capital Offenders

Is this correct?

Also, where would the expansion teams appear in the draft order? Tacked on at the end?

It is. Gimmick was supposed to get in touch with sanman to confirm his participation/get his keepers, but that hasn't happened yet.

Also, where would the expansion teams appear in the draft order? Tacked on at the end?

This came up in the football pool too. I don't like the idea of them being tacked on at the end myself. It works for the first round (new teams get the latest picks), but there's an immediate advantage in the second round with back-to-back and near back-to-back picks.

What Mikey did for football was put the new teams at 2 and 3 to make up for the fact that they had to pick through the dregs to find keepers.

With 12 teams here, I'd rather see the new ones slotted 6th and 7th to keep them as far as possible away from back-to-backs. Who of them picks first should be the reverse of who picks first in their keeper draft (as Mikey did with the football pool).

Sanman's email address is hidden to us normal members. Can someone with mod powers maybe take a look at it, shoot him an email, and find out what his plans are so we don't have to wait for Gimmick to remember to do it?

[Sparty]

He's in. He's told me he's in. He just hasn't gotten over here.

He's got till aug 1st to get his keepers in, if he doesn't then we get some to take his place.

Expansion draft will happen Aug 2.

Maybe we should push the expansion-keeper-draft-thingy up to later that week? Habs said he was going on vacation for the last two weeks in July (which might include the 1st and 2nd of August) and I know Zeebo is taking the Bar Exam this weekend and then going on vacation (which I know DOES include the 1st and 2nd of August).

I foresee problems. Just sayin'.

[Evil Scotty]

That's cool. it can go Aug 5th. 10 days should be plenty of time.

[Deleted]

Can I play?

[ALL CAPS]

If you do, we'll have to boot someone or get a 14th. Why you gotta fuck our shit up?

[Deleted]

I realize I'm really late, so if I'm a no-go, I'm a no-go.

Gotta keep working on my lists of historical figures and video games, anyway.

[ALL CAPS]

There was talk of forcing Moose into playing, so it might be doable. It's up to Scotty. I'll double check with my buddy Zeebo to ensure he's in 100%.

[Evil Scotty]

i was only saying moose as a joke. If sanman no shows, gators in.

[Deleted]

I'm sure it was mentioned in a previous post, but this is through Yahoo, right?

[Evil Scotty]

yup

[Evil Scotty]

all Keepers are in.

Mikey
Scotty
Firewoman
Sop
sanman
Solly
2Hot
GM
Psychofish
Angst
and the new teams Habs and Zeebo will have their 5 rd draft starting Aug 5th.

[Habs]

ok, just got back today to my computer... Had an awesome time during my vacation, and broke my arm!
Are we using yahoo rules and is everything well explained on the yahoo site?

Thanks for moving this to the 5th, it helps...

[Evil Scotty]

Thank Angst. Also do tell the story of your broken arm.

[Habs]

ok...
I'm in Wildwook, last Saturday, just in front of the Wildwoods sign on the Boardwalk if any of you guys are familiar with the place. Now they have fake beach balls there made out of concrete and painted. They're about 3 feet in diameter. It's our last night there, and for no apparent reason I get this stupid idea (at the time it seemed brilliant) to go jump over the beach balls like I used to jump over parking meters at a younger age. So I run like a mad man, place my hand on the beach ball and proceed to try and hop the thing. That's when all came in slow motion... I clear the thing in height, but my legs didn't follow, so I went head first towards the pavement and the curb. Tried to protect myself with my arm, so my elbow landed on the pavement, my hand on the sidewalk, my arm on the curb. 2 seconds afterwards, I was sober and in pain! Now, wise me, I figured before leaving, that I don't need to check my insurance coverage in the States (turns out I'm covered), I'm going to the beach, what can happen there right? So I tough it out on the Sunday, for the 11 hour drive back to Montreal. Next day, I felt way better so though I only bruised it, but went to my sisters, she checked it out, and ordered her little brother to go get x-rays. Turns out it broken, nothing major since they gave me a removable cast, but still need to wear it fro at least 4 weeks. It’s my first broken bone!
Now if only I new martial arts, I could have rolled my way out of it!
Picture would be on my Facebook, but I can't seem to upload photos...

MTA Added some pics of where it happened, and what my arms looks like rigt now.

[Evil Scotty]

That sucks, at least you didn't do it on the first day of your holidays.

[Deleted]

That cast totally makes you look like Glacier.
