Wants to hear Bela Karoli (my daughter was an amazing gymnast) or any of the Eastern Bloc coaches say, "Don't worry, I have plan....Get Moose and Squirrel."

Gets annoyed by stores which suspect that every $20 bill that you give them is a fake, and makes that known to you by drawing on it with a special marker?
So I've decided to bring a Hi-Liter with me whenever I shop. I won't even disguise it as one of those special markers. Then, when they give me a $5 and three $1s as change, I will pull the Hi-Liter out of my back pocket and draw a little line on each bill I was just given before declaring them "legal tender" and tucking them into my wallet.
Maybe I'll use a crayon. |

As far as Bela goes, was he even at the events last night? I saw his wife but not him.
He actually used to have a gym not too far from us, but by the time we found out, I was pretty much at Moceanu's place  (Before it closed.)
I was a pretty good gymnast, too, and I had soooo much fun with it. But I realize now I'm sort of glad I didn't stick with it. Because, had I, I'd probably look like the girls on tv. And... half of them look like men

| Bela was there last night. He was interviewed by Bob Costas later on and what a suprise, complained about the judging.
Just a little Moose and Squirrel, please? We used to take my daughter up to a camp every summer at UCSB run by former Olympian Chris Waller. She came home every year doing new and dangerous stunts. One year she had Dominique as her floor coach and Amanda Borden as her beam coach. She used to pull an aerial with a half twist for her dismount. Heart attack time for Dad.

| Wow. Yeah, I liked the bars and the beam, mostly  Haha. But I was just a kid... I guess I could've been something had I continued but I was never that amazing or anything.
I was at Dominique's sixteenth birthday, though. That was interesting.

Feels peeved enough to walk out when a store clerk who is ringing up my purchase stops to take a telephone order?
BTW, Koroli looked cunning, but was not very intelligible in the interview with Costas. | |

Get the real thing and maybe actually catch a bad bill. Wouldn't that be fun?
It is cheap enough http://www.itestcash.com/counterfeit...pped-cap-.html

There are a few sane people left. The entire thing about the bride being the most beautiful woman there and that all must fawn over her is complete bullsh*t... not to mention that this contributes to the "Bridezilla" phenomenon. Babies are just plain ugly, period.
oops

(I never touch the stuff. In college I worked in my Dad's packing house during the summer and used to make HC in 1,000 pound batches. It smells as bad as it looks.)
