I'm a boy.

So it's 2007 now. That means in 10 months and 10 days, I will be 21... and enjoying some liquid refreshment at the Marl Inn with Carey and Caritis. teehee.

I rang in the new year at Duane's aunt's house. Always a good time. And I pretty much confirmed Duane's belief that I'm really secretly a little boy. His cousin Jarrett got ESPN Scene It for Christmas and wanted someone to play with him and a friend, so naturally, they wanted Duane to play. He's a boy, he should do it, right? Well, Duane out-right refused and after determining that hey! I do have some sports knowledge ("I hit for the cycle!"... "Whoa!"), I was playing Scene It. The boys, being the obnoxious 12/13 year olds that they are, were having fun gloating about how they're obviously going to kick my butt, yadda yadda yadda. Ha! I kicked their little butts, which was just hilarious. First, they were shocked I answered a question about an olympic swimmer. Thank you, Summer Sanders for hosting Figure It Out and doing a shampoo commerical to inform me that you were an olympic swimmer. They were impressed. But then I just started freaking them out, such as when I knew that the guy golfing in the old clip was Jack Nichlaus or that the crazy good gymnast was Nadia Com-a-neech (yeah, I can't spell that) and that she won the gold at 14.

However, my last few questions were where the real good stuff came. What basketball player led Indiana State to a NCAA title game, won NBA MVP 3 consecutive years and has won an olympic gold medal? Larry Bird, of course. I think Jarrett actually peed his pants after I got that one. And then it was time to clean up and answer the "All Play to Win" question. What year did -insert 5 sporting events- happen? Event #1: Tiger Woods wins first PGA event. I immediately yell 1997. The room full of middle school kids look at me like "Wtf, hooooooooow?!" And after viewing the rest of the events, I was pretty confident with 1997, which ended up being correct, and the boys were a little mad at me.

Then we played some "knee football," which I think is code for "Let's grope the girls and destroy the house at the same time." But I threw a spiral, and they were sad again... and then I quit because of the aforementioned groping.
