Yes it’s time again to play McCharades. Watch Joy in quicktime glory in this edition. Or catch her in the .mpg version. I have to admit, this one is harder b/c I still haven’t guessed it after watching it twice.

Ty’s EFY Experience
Well as pace has said before, here at Mcblog we aim to serve. So in response to a few requests i’m writing about how my EFY went. I went to Buena Vista VA, which after going, i wouldn’t reccomend to anyone. The campus was bad, the campus staff was there setting theyre own rules for EFY members to follow, and it definately was not as good as Gainsville GA. But of course at EFY you have fun no matter how bad things get. So of course it was very spirtiual, very fun, all the people i met were great, and by the end of the week they were my best friends.
On the first day we were supposed to come up with a cheer for the group, no one had any good ideas, so i suggested using the batman song, and shouting our name at the end of it. Everyone liked that idea, and from that moment on everyone called me batman.
Now just for T-mom
What i learned- Always bring earplugs, cause your roomate could be the loudest snorer you’ve ever heard. And that singing the EFY medley on friday is the best part of the whole EFY. (but i knew that from last year)
Who came with me- A bunch of guys from my ward, specifically Johnny W. Michael W. Alex D. and Ethan T. If anyone knows any of them.
Who I flirted with- I flirted with no one, they all flirted with me, duh. But realizing were there for a week, then will only talk to eachother again by internet, text message, or phone, thought that there was no need for more-than-friend relationships.
I just realized that when I posted scores for McBalderdash I didn’t put down the real answer….

A Much Needed Date Night!
Last night, Pace and I were able to go out on our own, all by ourselves, for what I believe was the second time since Chase was born. Darin and Nada came over around 9:30 pm, and we sort of asked/told them to watch Chase while we ran to Smith’s for a pie ingredient I needed. I finished feeding Chase, put him in Nada’s arms, and we skittered on out the door. We went to Smith’s to get whipping cream, holding hands and laughing all the way. But don’t worry, the excitement continues! We then decided to go over to Smart Cookie for some cookie ice cream sandwiches and milk (yummm). We sat outside on the lawn, eating and getting “reacquainted.” We even looked at the stars and cuddled for a few minutes (yes, just good old PG-rated cuddling). It was amazing how much closer we felt after that short time without Chase, and it is something I have wanted to do for a while now. I know for sure that date nights and even occasional weekend getaways are essential for the health of a marriage, especially when kids dominate your lives the rest of the time, some tension can build, and couples can slowly grow apart. Soon we’ll probably have a regular date night so that it remains a priority in our lives. I look forward to many more dates to come with my best friend!

CAROLINA WINS THE CUP!!!!
Wow what a game… I loved the saves, and the empty net goal… SO good. What did you like the best?
Some loose ends I wanted to post about.
First Congrats to Stephan for getting engaged! He even beat McGowan.
Second, a group of us are playing Ultimate on Saturday (24th) morning at the intermural fields on the corner of university and university, please come and bring any friends you can. We are meeting at 9:45AM and starting to play at 10.
Third, Don’t miss game SEVEN of the stanley cup finals tonight at 8pm eastern on NBC. Winner takes the cup, and to be honest the Hurricanes really need to turn around their gameplay if they are going to win.
Fourth, there are some new pictures in the random album on the mcphotos page.
Fifth, Ryan and Aubrey had their baby, Rhett, on Cotton’s bday! Yeah Aubrey endured 12 hours at the hospital in labor. Read the whole story.

McBalderdash score
The results are in. Everyone did so wonderful with this word. I especially liked the canadian ones. Mainly b/c Canadians are fun to hit around, but secondly b/c a candian team is draging out the stanely cup finals. Also for that reason no Canadian is going to win this Balderdash. But instead Cotton wins it for giving me the mental image of Batman throwing a batarang at the Oilers goalie… well he didn’t really say that, but he mentioned a fat ugly canadian, so…. anyway here is the score break down that doesn’t really matter.
Ryan:300,000 points for slapping canadians, but minus 200,000 for not having an avatar. Brad: 17 points for trying to squeeze out pity. Cotton :1 Million points for the imagery you created in my brain. Steph:700,000 for making me think of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a day other than Sat morning. Tmom: Lots of points for trying to use something from history, but you lost them all b/c you don’t have an avatar. Rachel:-200 points for not having the huge punch in the face be to a canadian. Joy:900,000 points for using your definition in a sentence.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COTTON!
Cotton grew older today, along with the rest of the world… but he gets to say he’s a whole number older. And yes, I forgot that today was the 16th, but I remembered that Cotton’s birthday was coming up this month… so thank you mom for reminding me that today is the 16th. And happy birthday Cotton.

WORD = SPLACKNUCK
Balderdash rules (for those who’ve never played): “The main objective is to make up answers that will bluff or entertain other players, as well as for choosing the real and often unbelievable answer getting the most made up points. ONE answer per person. Save discussions for the scoring post.
WORDS- What is the definition?
PEOPLE – What is the person known for?
INITIALS- What do they stand for?
MOVIES- What is this movie about?
DATES- What happend on this day?”
P.S. That was the worst defensive pass I’ve ever seen! Carolina in 6!!
