    So Sam and I busted out a frickin’ laser measuring device and determined that 200m away from the southern edge of the street door to the Box ends at the mailbox in front of Hyman Hendler & Sons (21 W 38th St). We were honestly curious – please do not thank us via “blanket party”.
    The Best Game Ever prank was fantastic. If there have been any that are worth repeating at random across the country, this one is it.
    Have fun, A2.

    Hey all,
    Come watch Phaidra and me run all over a bunch of Canadian rugby players tomorrow…. okay maybe just Phaidra will run over them, but I’ll try to run through the gaps;-) Just wanted to post a reminder that we have a rugby game tomorrow against Quebec @ 11am at Kaiser Park (http://www.newyorkrugby.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=75&Itemid=138#kaiser). If anyone is interested in making the trip, we would love to see you there! Also, we’ll be heading to 4th ave Pub in Park Slope around 2:30 for a few drinks after the games if you want to stop by for a few.

  • Staci

    And while you’re all toasting to Maura and Phaidra’s crushing conquest of the Canadians, spare a thought for my tired feet, as I will most likely be ~26 miles into my 50K race :)
    I hope to be drinking heavily shortly thereafter.

  • Dan R

    Good luck Maura, Phaidra, Staci (and all our other competitors)!

  • Robzilla

    Have fun kickin some Canadian booty Maura and Phaidra! I would go down and watch but I won’t be around.
    Good luck on the run Staci. I’m sure you’ll crush it.

    “Calling dinosaurs” has to be the greatest euphemism for vomiting I have ever heard. Kudos to CFSF.
