I am going to prepare dates stuffed with parmesan cheese (the real stuff) and wrapped in proscuitto.

The problem lays in naming them, should they be called "Mini Falcon footballs" or "Gopher nuts on a platter"? I am partial to the first name cause, well, I just don't want to eat nuts, however "Mini Falcon footballs" seems to lack pizzaz.

I suppose "Figgy Zoombas" is too much of a culinary stretch, huh?

That is the pizzaz that I was looking for. What is culinary difference between figs and dates?

i'll probably be showing up around 3 or 4... not too sure yet of all the plans. we'll probably be grilling out, playing cornhole, and perhaps another game or two.

Based on the posts today, here are my revisions for worker productivity with the Minnesota game looming large across the front windshields:

Freak: -10%. He has now publicly stated he isn't doing anything. Hopefully his boss doesn't know about this web site.

Dayons: 0%. This however is a credible number, he had previously requested a vacation day. Hope the homestead stays intact as you make the pilgrimmage.

VDub26 : 60%. Used to be higher until he came onto the board.

87 Alum : 90%. Always the conscientious one. Besides with his vast array of Photo Shop content, he can post under the auspices of doing "research on the internet".

Metz: Estimating 85%. Haven't seen continuance of the Frickers rant so he must be getting a good start on the semester.

Reasearch is a time-intensive activity.

My productivity is WAAAAAAAAAAY lower than 60% here at Joyce Buick-Pontiac-GMC. I'm still training here, not always taking customers, so I go between AZZ.com, facebook chat and the game "Noah's Ark" on yahoo games and that's pretty much my day...so, I think I'm in that negative range.

My productivity may well be negative as well.

Posting this in my "Intro to Promotion" class. Daydreaming through Campus Fest today. Probably won't get anything done at office hours this afternoon. Tailgating all day tomorrow.

Oh dear. A short week indeed.

Hey, what about me??

When I got to work today, I looked to see how many hours it was 'til I could leave and get the camper stocked (started that last night) and get eady to roll along!!! I've got it almost ready, just waiting for BGFan to get his butt home ASAP so we can pull that B!G puppy to the stadium!!

Lacking significant posts and the fact that you chimed in at 4:00 pm, means that your work productivity was far greater than the vast majority of people who seemingly lived here for the past week.

No continuance needed. I hate Frickers now. Been doing my grad work and coming home, no time to think about the lackluster managerial staff there anymore.

And hammb, I'm with you on being excited about this tailgating and the game! Tomorrow will be crazy. In my VCT 103 lab today, I asked the kids who was going to the game (these are 90% freshmen), and 38 of the 40 raised their hands. I expect a complete sellout.

I just don't know when I'm going to have to get in line to get my front row seat!

Metzger, great to hear that some freshmen are excited about the game. Get 'em while they're young!

I'm pretty much ready to go. Grill is packed up, Chicken Wings are thawing, peppers are stuffed with cheese & wrapped in bacon. I'm psyched to get out there and get some tailgating done.

Anything I can bring to help out?
