res-tribute to the winners
 
#81 ·
:lol:
Seriously though, it will take a long time to finish, but it will be interesting to see who we pick. It is very time consuming, it took me over an hour and I'm almost done with the qualifiers. The rules are that you need to follow the qualifying procedure and that you need to go match-by-match for the qualifying (I did it in paper but I don't feel like typing the results:eek:)
And if you need clarification on the procedure for each zone, just ask me;)
But it would be nice to post all results of the maindraw/group stage :)
 
#82 ·
So will you guys participate??
 
#85 ·
:eek:
Today we went on a trip to Hershey Park:cool:
It was so much fun. But the line for Farenheit was sooo long:sad:
Do you guys like amusment parks?
 
#87 ·
They are making one in Athens where the old airport used to be, I hear.
 
#88 ·
A volleyball thread will be up soon;)
And later I will try to finish the world cup:)
 
#89 ·
The volleyball thread is now up;)
So I'll talk about my trip to Hershey Park. Right away I went on this Reese's ride. It was pretty lame:eek:. It was like a roller coaster for kids aged 5-10:shrug:
I then went on Pirate two times. It was this boat that rocks back and forth but goes up and down all the way. It was very scary but also very fun. I went on the Claw after that. It was upside down and very dizzy. I thought it was okay. I heard that someone threw up after I went on it and they had to close the ride for the day:scared:
I went on this lame car driving thing. It was so dumb and a big waste of time. The line was really long too, and it wasn't worth it:(
I went on Music Express which was really slow and it was for little kids. There were bees all over it too:tape:
I went in the Water Park and got soaked but had a blast. The slides were so much fun:D
I played two games of skee ball and did terrible in both:tape:. So basically I wasted a dollar on that:lol:
I went on a wooden roller coaster called Wildcat. I hated it. It was so bumpy. It really hurt. I went on a roller coaster called wild mouse. It was good but I thought it was more for little kids. I went on the swings too, they were a little annoying because some stupid little kids behind me were kicking me and laughing:rolleyes:
I went on a wooden roller coaster called the Comet and I liked it even though it was bumpy. I ate at this restaurant and had chicken tenders, fries, and a Greek salad:cool:
I went on the roller soaker, but the line was an hour and a half. The ride was freezing, but I had a blast:D
After that line, I didn't bother going on Great Bear, Stormrunner, or Farenheit, since the line would be insane. I went on the lazy river and had fun but it was too long and got boring after a while. I then went on two wooden roller coasters, Lighting Racer and Wildcat again;)
I went on bumper cars and then played a basketball game and lost (and I'm good at basketball too:mad:). I thought it was funny that I went to Hershey and didn't even buy chocolate:p:rolls:

So tell me about some good experiences in your lives now;)

Oh, and that volleyball thread is up:D
 
#90 ·
So let's be random now:p
Have you guys ever gotten stung by a bee or a jellyfish or something?
What food do you guys like?
 
#92 ·
I've never gotten stung by a bee or a wasp or a hornet or something. But I've gotten stung by a jellyfish once:sobbing:
As for food, of course Greek:p, but also Mexican, Southern US food:drool:, Chinese, Cypriot (although it is like Greek), Italian, French, German, ...
As for Polish, I have had kilbasa and liked it but I don't think I've tried anything else:eek:
What do you guys eat in Poland? Like give me names of traditional dishes and a description please;)
 
#94 ·
Some of that sounds really good:drool:
I'm assuming you know about Greek dishes;)

Let's wait for Veronika and Dorien now:p
