Better Know The Suque: 3 True, 1 False

    Yup, and they actually both led significant forces against each other in various battles at Roxborough and Berwick Castles. I told her that our marriage is basically the end of a 700 year old blood feud.

    My wife and I have a similar story. We were on opposite sides of the Battle of Severn. My great.....great grandfather was the governor of Maryland and her great .... great grandfather was a influential member of a group loyal to England (basically terrorists). In the end, Stone surrendered to save his troops and was sentenced to death (luckily he wasn't killed).

    I keep my eye on her family during holidays.

  • 1. I tried coke for the first time at 13 sitting in the backseat of a lime green Road Runner in the parking lot of the Cap Center after a Motley Crue concert. The one where Tommy Lee spun around in the cage.
    2. I've served Biz Markie his bagel and schmear at the Laurel Einsteins Bagels.
    3. I was once arrested by the Greenbelt PD for carrying a concealed weapon that turned out to be a carton of eggs.
    4. I sat directly behind Shaun Hill on a flight from Florida while discussing Terp football with the guy in the seat next to me most of the flight.

    #3 fake

    #2 has to be real - anything involving Biz & Laurel is most likely true

    Biz shopped in laurel with a buddy of mine. I worked in Bowie. And rarely worked up front.

    Greenbelt PD sucks and had a serious bug up their ass in the 90s about teenagers causing mayhem. Apparently egging cars (driven by other teenagers) was more important than real crime.

    Does Eric Hayes count as a member of the coaching staff?

  • Problem Eli is that with what you have told me about your life, everyone of those things could be entirely true. Plus you are holding out some of the juicier stuff.

    1. Great Great Grandfather was the President of Costa Rica in the 1920s.
    2. I lent Len Bias a pen.
    3. I had dinner with Buddy Hackett.
    4. I tested software for Steve Case before he founded AOL.

    I actually didnt get deported myself. I was driving across the border from Seattle towards Vancouver and my buddy and I got pulled aside for secondary screening. He was denied entry into the country because of a DWI almost 10 years prior.

    I dropped him off at a bus station about 10 miles South of the border and was allowed to cross when I came back by myself.

    I took the 400 level history of Maryland class as part of my "minor" (we don't really have them, but I took like 8 400 level history classes), and I remember that battle. My grandmother's family are Stones from St. Mary's City and I hit a dead end with a guy born in 1823. Figured he came from the more famous Stone family, who were the former colonial governors and revolutionaries, but he was just a laborer on someone else's farm in the 1850 census, so he was probably a nobody or a lesser son who got in some trouble. I can't find a damn thing on him other than that and it drives me insane.

    I guessing it was 3 for you MoCo. I think 1 and 2 are plausible, and if were the SAT's I'd be flipping a coin between 3 and 4 so I'm guessing 3.

    We don't have minors? Since when. I was very nearly a history minor but ended up finishing it and double majoring.

    3 no top 20?

    . My son is being recruited by 2 D1 schools to player soccer
    2. I have an MBA from Wharton
    3 . I've seen manute bol's dong (it needs an elbow)
    4. I used to sell commercial aircraft

    I'm going to guess no to the commercial aircraft. A close second is Manute Bol's dong...

    1. I inteviewed coach K
    2. I played in a basketball game with Greivis Vasquez
    3. I met Justin Bieber at Jingle Ball this past year
    4. I once tried to arrest a cop while drunk at a metro station

  • Well, Meryl Streep, Tommy Jones and I all were in "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29" and the 1967 Yale Bulldogs finished 17 or 18 in the Final National poll.
