Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Off Season Picture Time

I lurked around Purple Row for quite sometime before joining up and commenting. One of the things that really pushed me to become a member was the sense of community. Through our common bond of the Rockies and Baseball we are able to overlook so many other things in life that would normally keep us from becoming friends.

That first year that I started posting we had an offseason picture thread. A chance for us to put a face to the screen names. I really think it is helped keep things civil around here.

I count so many of you as my good friends, including some of you who I have never met or only met once or twice (Looking at you Russ and Andrews).

So to kick off this thread, I will share a couple of pictures of me.

Me holding a giant bunch of balloons:

Me celebrating my 30th Birthday:

I would like to invite all of you to share some pics of you!

Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

Aww you're missing out..

some of the best hiking spots in the world are in Moab. There are cathedral-like arches towering over you. Delicate arch is one of the few places in the world that’s as impressive in person as it is in photographs.

I hope that everyone is having a great holiday season. I was also in Mexico. I’ll be there on the way back too. But I didn’t have any pictures of me from there. Here’s some proof though.

She managed to acquire the help of a young lady overflowing with cuteness to get the autograph for her. Huston wasn’t going to give any autographs as he had just finished his pregame warm-up, and the little girl called out, “C’mon Huston, she has your jersey!” As he walked over he said “Ok but only this one.”

Is that a regular sized train..

or is it narrow-gauged? I’m asking for a friend.

Probably narrow gauge

the picture was taken in a tiny California mining town just outside of Yosemite.

Some days, I feel like I’ve accidentally entered the Church of Tulowitzki on Baseball Easter.

10 days in,

SDCat has not posted a picture: normal
There are no pictures of anyone consuming mass quantities of ballpark food: incomprehensible.

I have a few pictures of me

After consuming mass quantities of ballpark beer… but I don’t want ya’ll to think of me that way ;-)

by The Toddfather's Goatee on Jan 4, 2012 4:32 PM MST up reply actions  

I don't consume

ballpark food while at the ballpark because I don’t leave my seat once at the ballpark because I could think of nowhere else I’d rather be than in my seat at a ballpark.

That's why you hurry and go get it before you get to your seat, duh.

No hurry necessary

I get to games 1.5+ hours early. It’s just too much fun/relaxing to watch BP, take in the sun and enjoy myself (saves some money too).

Fair enough.

I enjoy BP with food, but I agree about never leaving my seat after that.

People who don't exist cannot post pictures of themselves.

I figured that’d be in first-semester Physics at a school like Mines.
