Meeting People Is Easy...

Dude, power walking could easily be the most ridiculous concept in the history of physical activity. I mean, no offense to anyone who does this shit, but it looks positively silly. Swinging your arms like a velociraptor and what not. Not to mention the fact that if you're going to walk fast, why not just RUN! Or jog, even. I don't get it at all...

Anyways, it took me longer than expected. And when my alarm went off this morning at 6 AM it was real difficult to get up and drag my ass to this computer. But I did. Because Meeting People Is Easy is very important to me. So, here's your panel for this week...

1. Ladi Izz ~ Must've been a fun day for her on Tuesday considering her Mom's a 'Skins fan...

2. Vern ~ Keeping things in line down in FLA...

3. TSW ~ Recently attended a taping of the Jeff Reed Show...

4. Holly ~ Lone representative of the Colts fan contingent...

5. Silky Johnson ~ Lookup "M.I.A." in the dictionary and you'll probably find his face...

6. The Chief ~ Is quite enamored with Veronica Mars...the character, not the show (an interest not foreign to me)...

7. Notgomu ~ The only one in the pick 'em league who took the Minnesota Purple Jesus'

8. Nate ~ Yes, you are correct. I did mean to say division...

9. Marc ~ Dropkick Murphys should be no man's guilty pleasure...the only thing wrong with 'em is that they love Boston...

10. Matt ~ Hint: LJKC wants a Dick Lebeau style Steelers polo for Christmas...never too soon to start shopping I guess...

11. Me ~ Starting to forget what the insides of my eyelids look like...

So as usual, click to enlarge...


Oh sleep, how I miss thee...

Feel free to leave your answers to this week's questions in the comments. Done.

Meeting People Is Easy...

Well friends, it's Friday...and you know what that means? Yeah, yeah, the beer bong. But later. For now, you'll just have to settle for Meeting People Is Easy...again.

The good news, however, is we've got a top notch crew to handle the tough questions today. They've come from the farthest reaches of the internets just to give you all a glimpse into their massive banks of creativity. Or whether they'd prefer the Steelers O-Line over traffic cones. But I'm not going to split hairs.

And now for your starting lineup...

1. AJ Daulerio ~ I mean, I've never heard of this character, but people keep telling me about this "Deadspin" blog. Apparently it's some sort of big time sports blog where they talk about balls a lot...Yeah, no introduction needed, I assume.

2. Doug ~ If you've never hit on205th.com, I strongly urge you to add it to your daily "reading list." Ok, so I go for the pictures too. But you know what I mean.

3. The Starter Wife ~ I don't believe we've ever discussed it here at OFTOT, but in a last minute stroke of genius, TSW benched Michael Turner for Ricky Williams during Week 1 of the Steelers Blogger Thunderdome Fantasy League.

4. Holly ~ H to the izz O, you've all met Holly before. She thinks the Jeff Saturday injury is the most pressing of the currently relevant Colts matters, and I can't disagree with that.

5. Harvey Bars ~ I had to personally apologize to him for making a severely amateur comment on this post. What can I say, shit's rough nowadays.

6. The Chief ~ Recently ended his brief blogging moratorium, just in time for Big Ben to get sacked EIGHT TIMES (I don't know, have we talked about that yet this week?). By the way, Chief, someday you'll have to explain to me where you found a video of Celine Dion and Anastasia...and um, WHY you found it...

7. Notgomu ~ Has strong concerns about Mike Tomlin's ability to whup that ass.

8. Sheena Beaston ~ Seems to think that just because a couple of 20 something dudes choose to tape a pregame show for their respective Steelers blogs on a Saturday night that somehow makes them less dateable. Hey, listen up Sheena, chicks dig nerds, ok. That's a fact. You can't argue it.

9. Tobiathan ~ Sparked some major OFTOT controversy with the revelation that he doesn't like Mike Tomlin. Also, I finally discovered how Tobiathan knows so much about tactical folding knives and main battle tanks...but I'm going to have to cite attorney-client privilege on that one.

10. Lori ~ Gotta respect anyone who names their fantasy team, "The Mulleteers," right? Coincidentally, that picture reminded me that no one had a mullet like Jagr.

11. Me ~ Nothing to see here...

Aw hell, I done introduced 'em enough. Let's get this show on the road. As usual, click to enlarge...


Oh, and one more thing - fathers don't let your daughters sons grow up to be sluts Matt Millen. Write that down.

Meeting People Is Easy...
