Stupor Bowl: An invitation

Regional dialectical variation of two nations separated by a common language. I actually thought of using the Eastern Atlantic spelling but thought I'd come off as a bit of a toff for so doing.

Sorry guys, shouldn't have bit on that tasty bait.

Great offer Captain, hope someone takes you up on your generous offer!

I just the other day booked a ski trip for around this time. Damn. Would have otherwise seriously considered this.

C'mon peeps, someone's gotta do this, would be fully sick me thinks.

you've actually done a great job throughout these threads at phrasing like a brit. gotta say.

ollie - you're right. some of these kids could use a dose of htfu - anybody who used to complain about being cold at east drinks and wanted to go inside should NOT go on this ride!

anybody with some sterling to burn who wants to come over to philly and road trip to the midwest....... i could be persuaded.... this race sounds ridiculous.

Thanks! :) I post on a forum where a good number of the members are from your side of the pond, and it kind of rubs off.

We all do.

Oh, it is. It will be a cold, snowy winter, I believe-- today the high temp is forecast to be several degrees below freezing and me ol' gran used to claim that 'When the days begin to lengthen, the cold begins to strengthen"-- and early rumours (Hey, where did that 'u' come from?!) are that the race will NOT be made any easier to reflect this.

It's still a couple months away. Plenty of time to go simply Maaaaaaaaaad and need a change of scene; Ibiza's played out. Minorca is for berks, and haven't you always wondered what the frozen prairie looks like?

We should send you mmccarthy over. He'd be in heaven.

oooh buddy, i'm a yank, i'm on your side. i live in philly and i totally wanna make a trip out to this race. when the hell else will i ever get to minneapolis? which has always seemed like a rad city, by the way.

you're right ols, mmcarthy would loove this! maybe he'd even wear a hoodie (sorry, jumper).. i gotta get the dude on board..

mmccarthy will wear shorts and a T-shirt.

I have Been informed that Northern Midwest women don't much appreciate what I said about them in the first post.

I took it as being tongue in cheek but I guess it's easy to see how the gals could be offended.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, someone in a position to do so has got to go and do this.

What could be better? Bikes, booze, alleycat, socializing, actual proper snow and no-doubt a warm welcome.

emma55jean sounds like she's gagging for it - FACT. [/Terry Badarse]

riiiight. i seriously want to. (but i think it looks like i need an english sidekick if i want to have any chance of getting with one of those sweet midwestern biddies.)

Bump.
Just a reminder to book your flights.
This is going to be huge, and completely worth it.
Here's the thread for it on the local forum:

In my life I have done many things of which I am not proud but I am content in the knowledge that going to Minneapolis is not among them.

I expect somewhere out there in www. land there's a surgeon posting on a forum to the effect that he wishes he could say the same about your butt.... ;)
