Weather Rant

Driving around Atlanta today, where it's cold enough to kill any dreams of spring, I hit the button on my satillite radio to get the Pittsburgh weather report.

Snow. Snow showers and 40 degrees or colder for the rest of the week.

How am I supposed to get any seat racing done when we don't get on the water until April? I'm flipping out. Add in the safety system with water temperature rules, and we may not get on the water until June.

Get in your time in the tanks, boys. I may start switching you between tanks if this keeps up.

Jay, you need to come back now I think you've lost your mind! (I apologize for my brother he has a small problem called retardation).

Our current destitute situation brings to mind one of my personal favorite sayings. It goes as follows:
"Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there." Let us not forget all our work is being done for a reason, not just to take up the time between the rivers periods of liquidity. (I'm not really sure if that's a word but it sounds pretty cool.) Feel free to interperet this however you see fit.

Sorry, I'm steel feeling the effects of the taper and happened to take some Tylenol Cold Day today. I don't know what they put in that stuff but it really makes me nuts.

Rubber Duckie, you're the one
You make tank time lots of fun
Rubber Duckie, I'm awfully fond of you

woh woh! bee doh!

Rubber duckie, joy of joys!
When I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Duckie, you're my very best friend, it's true!

doo doo doo doooo, doo doo

Every day when I
Make my way to the tanks
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and...dank

Rubber Duckie, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber Duckie, I'm awfully fond of you

Transcribed from Bert & Ernie's Greatest Hits. I just found out that Little Richard sings a version of "Rubber Duckie." It features "a patented Little Richard ooohhhhh!!"

I like yellow ducks and I can't deny,
You other rowers can't deny.
When Skuban walks in with an air soft gun and aims it in your face you get shot.

Well, I tried with that one. If anyone would like to keep going, it would be hardcore.

I would like all of you to know that I am procrastinating by making this post. I really don't feel like "Expliquez et ecrivez ce que vous aimez faire pendant votre temps libre! Sujet: Vos Passetemps Favoris!"

Don't be like me, do your homework. By the way, thank PLS's grandmother for baking us cookies. They were super-chouette(sweet).

I know this doesn’t have to do with the “Weather Rant” but I thought you might like to know how practice went today. Sara did a good job (not like you don’t worry), but more importantly we did a good job, Sara left smiling and laughing (and not to mention full (thanks Mrs. Sparta for including the varsity this time)). Jay I think we finally bonded with Sara, you know she's actually pretty cool. But any way I must be getting along now time for homework. Steve, I have to agree with you, this blog is the ultimate way to procrastinate. HAHA, later.

Oh my god, Becky, look at her duck
It is so big
She looks like one of those rower guys girlfriends
Who understands those rower guys?
They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute, ok?
I mean her duck
It's just so big
I can't believe it's so yellow
It's just out there
I mean, it's gross
Look, she's just so- white

I like big ducks and I cannot lie
You other rowers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round duck in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up front
Cuz you notice that duck was stuffed
Deep in the duck she's holding
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya duck
And take your picture
My rowers tried to warn me
But with that duck you got
Makes me so horny
Ooh, rub all of that yellow skin
You say you wanna get in my tanks?
Well use me, use me cuz you ain't that average groupy

I've seen them rowin'
The hell with no boats in'
It’s sweat, wet, got ergs spinnin' like a turbo 'Vette

I'm tired of erg machines
saying fast times the only thing
Take the average white man and ask him that
He gotta pack much heart, so

Rowers (yeah), Rowers (yeah)
Has your girlfriend got the duck? (hell yeah)
Well tank it, tank it, tank it, tank it, tank that yellow duck
Baby got duck

(FC face with Oakland booty)
Baby got duck

I like 'em yellow and big
And when I'm rowin' a gig
I just can't help myself
I'm rowin’ like an animal
Now here's my scandal

I wanna get on the water
And ten, power ten, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout play, boy
Cuz ergging parts were made for toys
I wannem real thin and sexy
So find that brand-new double
Foxbat's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at row videos
Watchin' those bimbos rowin' like ho’s
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my rowers like D. Eng
A word to the good row sista’s
I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna row
Til the break of dawn
Baby, I got it rowin’ on
A lot of rowers won't like this song
Cuz them punks like to hit it and quit it
But I'd rather stay and play
Cuz I'm light and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the rowing on

So ladies (yeah), ladies (yeah)
If you wanna row in my Millenium (yeah)
Then stick around
Row it out
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back

(FC face with the Oakland booty)

Yeah baby
When it comes to females
US Rowing got nothin’ to do with my selection
2k at under 2:00
Only if she's from FC

So your girlfriend rows a Vespoli
Playin' workout tapes by OC
But OC ain't got a motor in the back of their Vespoli
My rowers don't want none unless you've got ducks hon
You can do tank works or ergging, but please don't lose that duck
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
and tell you that the duck need to go
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So OC says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that
Cuz your times are fast and your rows are kickin'
And I ain’t thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole rowers in the magazines
You it Miss FC
Give me a sista I can't resist her
Red flags and oars didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
Cuz our girls beat all his list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And pulled up quick to get with 'em
So ladies if the duck is yellow
And you wanna triple X row down
Dial 1-900-foxbat and kick them yellow ducks
Baby got duck

wow, foxbat, on behalf of the girls team... let me just say that the rendition of baby got back... amazing. However, a "booty" of OC's just can't compare with one of ours. But very creative. i liked it!
