I got your answers!

First things first, have to give props to my guest picker for this week Travis. He outpicked me. It came down to the Bama game and I would like to point out that I was just doing my job for Cheryl and Gary. Also I LOVE BOISE STATE!!!! Also with our 31-6 win over Iowa we became Bowl Eligible yay! Here are the results
Phats = 9-5 (77-27 overall)
Travis = 10-4

Alright, now I will answer all your wonderful questions you left me in the last entry for those of you who don't like sports. Although, it was nice to see that some of you supported my love for my sports :)

Cheryl was first with these questions
Favorite Music right now- Well, my favorite station recently got turned into a 24.7 Christmas station so that pissed me off. Lately I have been listening to I guess you'd call it top 40, fallout boy, boys like girls, all american rejects, Avril, gym class heroes, fergie. However, I do love country as well, and my all time favorite artist is Garth Brooks, and I love his new song. If you haven't heard it I suggest you download it, "more than a memory"
Some of my tops for you
Movies- Hoosiers(best sports movie ever made) Silence of the Lambs, Christmas Vacation, Dodgeball, the orignal Halloween, and Grease. Just to name a few
Celebs- Well of course I am in love with Carrie Underwood, and Reese Witherspoon!
Restaurants- It doesn't really matter as long as the food is good ha. I love this mexican restaurant here in Ktown called Hacienda, Nutz and I eat there all the time.
Embarrassing stories- Hmm I don't really have any seeing as how I don't really get embarrassed easily just ask Nutz or Bekah. I will think about that one though.

Mr Shife was next to ring in with a question and asked me some silly SAT question about flies, trains, and how fast blah blah. At first I sat down with my #2 pencil trying to figure this out, and got my calculator out then I realized I don't take tests anymore I give them. So, I suggest Shife call the homework hotline if you really want to know!

Dabich- Can I do a hockey post? I might, I am not a fan of hockey though it's not too popular here in the states(I know I know you're from PA!). The fights are pretty badass though.

Tena- I am avid reader, and I am not counting Sports Illustrated. I read about a book a week, depending on what I have to do that week. My favorite authors are Tammy Hoag, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, James Patters. My all time favorite author is Iris Johansen though I love her books, and like how she keeps characters in her new books from the old ones.
Food- lets see well I stated already I love Mexican food it's probably my favorite, but Italian is right up there as well. My dinner though is usually a good salad(sorry travis) with some grilled chicken on top of it and my favorite food of all time Ranch Dressing ha.

David- I liked your question it made me laugh. Anyway, Purdue's defense has gotten a really bad rap this year for the most part. Sure last year it was absolutely horrible, but they are playing well this year just put in bad circumstances. OSU for instance scored most of their points when our punter shanked one and our QB threw a bad pick. They probably played their best game of the year yesterday vs Iowa. So, to answer your question I will take Purdue's D! Although I do like Kornhesier.

Cher's first question. How'd I get the name Phats. I got it in HS from my girlfriend, and first love. She started calling me it and it just stuck, and even though she chose to break my heart into a million pieces, I liked the name so I kept it. She really turned out to be Satan, so that is the nickname I gave her.

Scott, I was hoping you might not come by after we stunk up the Big House haha. Congrats you were easily the better team, we just flat out didn't compete which was more disappointing than losing. However, I truly believe Big Blue will end up in the top ten so that will not be a bad loss. I am glad they did go to Illinois though and beat them!

Wow shannon that's a mouth full. It's funny everyone asks when Kristen and I are getting married, one of these days I am just going to say WE'RE MARRIED and leave it like that ha that would be cool right? We're not in any hurry.
Last place I took her, was to a HS football game because she had to go out of town Sat/Sun her community was hit by a tornado. Anyway she came to the KHS game and sat in the cold and drizzle with me. I did buy her dinner afterwards.
Spinoffs- I admit, and I blame this on Kristen, she got me watching the Hills and following all the drama of LC, can't stand spencer, and I used to love Heidi. Don't watch that other one though, and had forgotten all about the other Kristen too funny.
How am I? I am overworked, overstressed, lack of sleep, but overall pretty good :)

Cher #2- This one is easy, great seats at all home games, travel opportunities for free, and I could tumble.

Bekah, funny musical stories eh? I have been thinking about this one a lot because there are a few, so i'll give you a couple. Aren't I nice? Sorry I can't think of any that involve Hatton, mostly because I didn't hang around him during them. The first one involves Wendy, so I hope she's still reading this maybe she can put her two cents in as well. It was during 7th grade we were hiding waiting for Glenda to tell us to come out as munchkins, I was Mayor so I had a lapel mic. I am not sure why, but we were talking about Katina and Wendy said right into my lapel mic "She's a bitch" my mic was on so yeah we laughed about that for awhile. The others all involve Jennifer who pretty much I was inseparable with, our 10th grade year we were waiting in the wings during Music Man, and Paul Dale came up to us(remember him) he was annoying and he said hey Phats think fast, and acted like he was going to hit me. Well, I said hey Paul think fast and actually did hit him. I didn't mean too, I meant to stop my fist but I misjudged and hit him. Jennifer and I were laughing so hard, and Paul started stuttering something, and Jennifer literally peed herself! She was wearing her costume, and to make things worse we had to go out and dance together. Trust me getting through that without laughing was hard. Our Senior year the whole company was suppose to be on stage for the final number, and Mrs E says except for Jennifer, Ehrin, Phats, and Peter. I am thinking jesus why us? Maybe because we were dead who knows. Anyway Jennifer and I were totally being stupid and she was like I am just going to go out on stage, and she started to go and I pushed her, and she went flying on the stage and fell down laughing. If you watch the tape closely you can see it! haha. Finally, the best memory was Junior year, it's when I fell in love with Ehrin. She and I pretty much spent every moment of downtime beneath the stage talking and spending time with one another even though she was dating Eddie, and I was dating Amy, it was the start of it all. Sorry this one was lengthy you should feel honored.

Pretzel asked a late question but I'll answer it. Why sports. I love sports, have always sports, but why is partly because it's what I grew up with. Just a history here, my father was a college athlete, and after that became a high school football coach. My mother was a HS cheerleading coach(it was in my blood haha) So, basically I grew up going to sporting events and fell in love with it, just the atmosphere is amazing. I of course also played sports, and loved it too, and I am incredibly competitive. So that is why sports, love em. By the way, Kristen and I go dancing all the time.

Nutz- HA! What a great question if I had one day to live who would I party it up with Lohan or Paris. Hard question, I would probably choose Fire Crotch, I think she parties harder than Hilton. Although I'd probably choose Bekah from the above question, because i'd guilt her into getting drunk by telling her I was dying, I would invite you so we could laugh and have a grand old time! haha.

Well, there you have it, a mostly non sports post, please enjoy it because it's the last one until football season ends. Only 5 more games left for the Boilers though! Then basketball season starts!!! haha.

By the way did I mention
I LOVE BOISE STATE, GO BRONCOS!!!

I don't remember Paul at all! Why is that? However, the stories made me laugh - all of them. What was Katina in the Wizard of Oz?

Oh and by the way - you can tell me you're dying all you want. Still not gonna drink. But don't die...drinking or no.

 
At 6:20 PM , Blogger Cara Bara said...

hmmmm I'm sure if you had ONE day left to live, we could get Bekah to drink and dance on tables!

 
At 7:01 PM , Blogger Phats said...

Bekah- He was older than us, I think he was a senior our soph year. Katina was in chorus, that was so funny like I said I hope wendy reads it.

Nutz- Lets test it out next game night bekah dancing on tables HAHAHA

Oh man - I just bought a book by Tammy Hoag and my cousin, S, brought me Ugly Duckling by Iris Johansen. (sic?) I think you both must have conspired against me because I *need* to get through the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell before I start a new author.

 
At 9:40 PM , Blogger preTzel said...

Well...I just scrolled down and realized that I missed that whole "write my blog" post and now it's too late to ask you a question. OTOH, I could shoot over to my blog and ask you one and I bet you'd answer over there. ;)

If I were to ask you one question it would be: Why sports? Why not dance? Jazz? A drummer in a country band? (Btw, Garth is one of my all time faves too but I'd do George Strait before Garth any day. And Tim McGraw trumps them both but I don't want to get my ass kicked my Faith so don't tell her I said that. K? K!) I think sports can be sooo boring. B.O.R.I.N.G. The only thing I love to watch is the Super Bowl because it is the one day out of the year that I get to swear like a sailor and Mister doesn't say anything about it.

 
At 9:40 PM , Blogger Gunngirl said...

Wow Phats, Dean Koontz, Christmas Vacation, Grease, we could totally hang out...except for the sports. Heh. I believe you love sports like I love my Buffy. But I think we'd cancel each other out. lol

 
At 11:15 PM , Blogger Phats said...

DG- enjoy it while you can, and thanks for commenting on the actual post ;)

Pretzel- I forgot about Cornwall I love her too, and the scarpetta series. What Hoag book did you get? I love ugly duckling it's pretty good. My favorites though are the ones around Eve Duncan.

Pretzel 2-George strait is the man, but Garth is my all time favorite, would love to see him and Trisha do a duet CD

Gunn- Come on over anytime!!

There you go Phats. You're going to scare Shife away with all of this nonsense though. ;)

By the way, BSU's on ESPN2 I believe this Friday against Fresno State.

 
At 7:27 AM , Blogger Tena Russ said...

My dinner though is usually a good salad(sorry travis) with some grilled chicken on top of it and my favorite food of all time Ranch Dressing ha.

Yeah, baby!! Now you're talking.

 
At 7:32 AM , Blogger Tena Russ said...

Well, my favorite station recently got turned into a 24.7 Christmas station so that pissed me off.

Same here. There's one station that goes Christmas in October so I don't listen again until January. That'll show 'em.

 
At 9:18 AM , Blogger Cheryl Wray said...

An all Christmas station! Ugh!! (and I love Christmas...but that's ridiculous!!)

The game was so GREAT!!!!! We had a blast at it. Nothing sucks like The Big Orange!! :-)

LOVE your answers!!! And I agree...Hoosiers is the BEST sports movie of all time!!!!

I also am listening to a lot of top 40 kinda music right now. I'm loving Fall Out boy and Avril right now. Also, I haven' theard the new Garth Brooks song, so...I'm going right after this to look it up!!! I love Garth too, so I'm sure it's great!!!

Man...you've gotme wanting some Mexican now.It's probably my fave food too!

Have a great day!!!!

Thanks for sharing Phats. Now I understand your love for sports. That's cool. I wasn't too sporty during high school. I played soccer from 8th to 10th grades. I sucked until the last year. For some reason, the talent was hidden and then one day, I got to play the whole game. After that, I was never on the bench. Proud of my horrible track season also. I was last in all the races, but my time improved. Pays to persevere! Now I just have to get the mojo for tennis.

Oh yeah!

Sorry Phats, I was just too excited about the no sports post. I couldn't contain myself! :D

 
At 9:29 PM , Blogger Mr. Shife said...

Phats - Are you trying to hurt me? Have I done something to offend you? Did the Duck hack into your blog? I don't know if I can ever return now that you have confessed your love for BSU.

 
At 10:57 PM , Blogger Phats said...

Duck- Now did I prove my dedication to your BSU team???

Tena- MMM a good salad. you don't live in Indiana do you?

Cheryl- Did you listen to the new garth song??? LOVE IT!

Egg- I could totally teach you tennis

Leeann- you know it! You too :)

DG- Understandable

Shife- Don't worry I still support the Vandals more, I was getting grief from Duck so I had to do something ;) shh don't tell him

 
At 2:23 PM , Blogger Cheryl Wray said...

Hey again!! I went and looked up the new GB song. VERY good, but SAD...

Have you ever read any Carl Hiassan? Thinking of the books and authors you'd like, I thought you might try him out. I read Skinny Dip this last weekend and liked it (first I've read of his).

 
At 6:42 PM , Blogger Phats said...

Cheryl- I love that garth song it's so good. I will have to try that author what kind of books does he write?

 
At 8:59 PM , Blogger Travis Erwin said...

No, it is not the story you are waiting on.

Shannon- So please tell me you hate Spencer as much as I do? and nope no change :)

Dabich- Really? is it even on tv in the states?? haha :) I am glad you were chuckling.

 
At 5:19 PM , Blogger Cinderella said...

Phats..I HATE him and Heidi...she looks like a horse. Actually she looks like she has a perfect set of dentures in her mouth. Is it just me or do her teeth look too big for her mouth? *Shrug*

 
At 5:29 PM , Blogger Fated said...

Yes hockey fights are definitely awesome. It's fortunately I like them too, because it's really the only entertainment the Oilers have been giving me lately. :( Those boys may as well be practicing figure skating..

 
At 6:53 AM , Blogger DaBich said...
