1.) The SewingMachineGuy
2.) To live my life in such a way that they say at my funeral, "now that was a loving and generous guy".
3.)Tie: Vinnie Johnson hits game winner as clock expires to vault Pistons to second title over Portland. Kirk Gibson slams home-run against Eckersley to win game 1.
4.) My mom is married, no.
5.) A beer, and an episode of the King of Queens or The Office.
6.) Alan Trammell. My role model and hero.

TheRealDFG said...

1. There are some who call me...Tim? Or DFG, whichever you prefer.

2. To seek the holy grail...I mean, to not take for granted every moment I spend with my children.

3. I have a lot of least favorite moments but I would have to say my favorite was San"Smokio" Holmes tip toe catch in the Superbowl to beat the Cardinals. (followed closely by the Pens winning the Cup last year).

4. I would, but my step-father might object to that.

5. Music. It's the only cure. (or alcohol).

6. I would get an autograph of Roberto Clemente because he is dead and having a dead guy autograph something would be next to impossible. That and the fact that he is one of the greatest ball players to ever suit up. Not to mention the fact that he is probably the greatest humanitarian and ambassador for baseball the world has ever seen. Who wouldn't want an autograph of one of the greatest humans ever?

SpastikMooss said...

Giveaway? Cool!

1. Tim, aka SpastikMooss

2. To be happy, to not take anything too seriously, and to collect every Seneca Wallace card ever made (haha)

3. Dave Roberts' steal in Game 4 of the ALCS. Epic moment.

4. I don't know, haven't really read the blog. But she's still married too, so probably not.

5. PBR and a good movie usually does the trick.

6. Kywin Supernaw (former Detroit Lions Safety), if only because he has ZERO memorabilia. No cards, no game used jerseys, no anything. So I'd love to get his auto and have the only one.

7. You got it dude!

2. I seek the Grail
3. Luis Gonzalez's bloop single to win the World Series.
4. I have it on confirmed sources that my mother hates sports card collectors.
5. A nice, fresh baked rant does the trick.
6. It would be cool to have had a stereotypic childhood sports idol moment way before my time: have one of the original greats like the Babe or Mantle walk by and sign a card. Instead, my memory is a fur-swathed Patrick Ewing walk by tossle my hair while saying that he was too busy to stop to sign for we three kids who waited for a few hours for him to show for a commercial shoot. Disappointing, but how many people had their head palmed by a HOFer?
7. I've linked it on my blog. Thanks.

Dustin said...

1. Dustin Sounds-Like-Some-Famous-Dude

2. To collect every Coot Veal card ever made! Oh, and I guess to be a good teacher and writer, but that's secondary.

3. When Randy Johnson hit a bird with a fastball. And that ties for me with Doc Ellis throwing a no-no on LSD.

4. Well, Dad may have an issue with this. But if you can clear it with him and Mom's cool, then the question becomes: What are your intentions and when will you have her home?

5. I unwind by shooting zombies, of course.

6. Another tie: The brilliant and hilarious writer George Saunders, because he's my hero; and Coot Veal, because he has one of the coolest names in baseball history. I better get to TTM-ing, since Coot's 77 years old.

7. I told my dog. And once my wife gets home I'll tell her and she'll roll her eyes. Then I'll climb onto my roof and shout with a barbaric yawp.

Chris Stufflestreet said...

1. Chris.

2. I just hope to break even by the time it's over.

3. Super Bowl XIII, Steelers beat the Cowboys. It immediately set the tone for what I've viewed as football ever since.

4. You can ask her, but she might slap you.

5. There's nothing that a little cardboard therapy won't ease.

6. If any way possible, I'd get John Hancock's signature, just to say I own his "John Hancock."

7. I told me wife...but I can't guarantee she'll spread it any further. I guess if it was a reunion of the gang from "Friends" she'd be more excited, but no...

4. Would you let me date your mom?
Can I start calling you dad now or should I wait?
5. How do you unwind from a bad day? I don't have too many bad days, fortunately, but a good game of catch with the boys puts a smile on my face.
6. If you had one chance to get an autograph of someone who would it be and why? Only one...that's tough. I'll say Chuck Yeager, first man to break the sound barrier.
