My preseason starts first!

[GrandpaBlaze]

Landed this morning in Auckland, New Zealand. Since I am now 17 hours ahead of PDX, that means I get training camp and pre-season all nearly a day ahead of the rest of you.

Needless to say, results for the predictions game will generally not be immediately after the games due to the time difference.

If there is a board-bash this year, I'll have to miss out again.

I guess, implied in the message is that I've not come just for a visit, but will be living in Auckland for a while, maybe longer.

I'll have to get out and take some pictures and replace my Payette Lake, ID picture with an appropriate one from NZ.

So, you'll know who wins or loses games before we will?

we all walk through life technically in the past, so dont get cocky

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

So, you'll know who wins or loses games before we will?

Of course. Hence, you should copy my predictions each and every time!

After all, I have a great track record in winning the game.

Ah but, clever folks like us on S2 know you pepper your 100% accurate predictions with fake false info to throw us off the scent. So clever!

What are you doing there?

Not my line and besides, you already have that covered.

What are you doing there?

Took a new job with a company here in NZ. The opportunity came up and I thought it was too good to pass.

Speaking of Hobbits, why did you abandon all your little grandchildren in Idaho?

My in-laws are from NZ; great people, and every cousin/uncle/aunt/friend of theirs from NZ that I've met are the warmest, friendliest, and least pretentious people I know.

Also, funnily enough, my in-laws said they chose Oregon when they moved because it reminded them most of NZ!

New Zealand, hunh? Does this mean that I'm going to have to turn my monitor upside down in order to read your prediction game results posts?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

New Zealand is probably on the top of my list of places I want to visit if I ever have enough expendable income to travel.

No silly. You can just stand on your head!

I understand where Jersey, York, and Orleans are. Where is Zealand?

Largest island of Denmark...and, yes, I had to look it up.

 

[jlprk]

Thanks. I wonder what Dallas wants for Petteri Koponen...

Wow. The things I learn on this board.

...actually, wouldn't you be getting preseason 17 hours AFTER it officially starts here?!

Doh! Yes. A Friday game there would happen Saturday for me.

Well, on the flip side, if you season starts last it also ends last.
