-sigh- did I miss someone's pick?

We debated on a number of options for our selection of team vacation spot. In the end we decided on a place with some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen.

For the younger players who want action and the nightlife, there's Honolulu and Maui.

If someone is a nature buff, there's nothing like The Big Island or Kauai, especially the Nā Pali coast.

(Kauai is also a good island if you like seeing chickens)

Or for the older guys who just want to get away for a bit, there's Molokai, with its single hotel, no stoplights, and beautiful sunsets.

Kilauea was insane. I loved walking towards a slow moving lava flow until the heat got so intense it felt my arm hair was going to burn.

We didn't hike down there, we only did a day trip to the park with dinner at the restaurant (which is well worth it, btw). We did a whirlwind of Kauai, Hawai'i, Molokai, and a night in Honolulu. We'll go back on either a longer trip or several individual island trips and do more at some point.

He censored the part that looks phallic, I think.

Opposite actually, because he's a juvenile delinquent.

 

[ajgoal]

-sigh- I've been sitting here wondering if I needed to fix it. Children.

 

[Striiker]

Don't blame me.

Be better role models.

@Starat327, come get your boy.

The Boston Flytimmos will take this Carbonara I made last week.

and our team will be transported by a series of rickshaws

@ajgoal left me his pick:

Mythological figure: Marzanna/Morana - Slavic Goddess of Winter. Good luck playing hockey without ice. I'm doing everyone a favor, really.

**************************************************************

Given the current flow of the draft, I feel kind of confused.
On one hand we have some white powder addicted franchises completely punting players until the end.
Despite that, the Bookworms' upper management had humongous issues with people selecting players from our concise list.
Simultaneously, we couldn't really decide on our approach for a vacation spot until the very end.
Pete's sake I still don't know if we took the right approach.
Except that this draft is allegedly never ending so maybe we did make the right pick in the end.
Endless possibilities really make predicting things hard on me.

Despite my state of confusion and uncertainty over some things, the following selection was a last minute moment of inspiration.
My discussions with upper management resulted in a carousel of approaches to this announcer category.
Really wanted to go with an outside the box with an unconventional approach to this one.
Some might say this would be a reference or allusion to this other mock draft that we've seen on this super secret website.
That approach was mulled over for a long time before we as upper management unanimously agreed that we should pick actual people who've commentated on this rubber puck game.
Realizing that we agree on the true spirit of the category we had no idea who to pick.
After many thoughts and potential leftover combinations, the Bookworms were inspired and remembered this pair.
Debuting our Play by play person and color commentator/analyst, Mr. Dave Strader and Mr. Darren Pang.

Excited to reunite this pair for our Bookworms franchise.
Really have some fond memories from them.

Ron
General Manager of the Bookworms

Joke’s on him. I can make ice whenever I want thanks to Ice-9.

@Striiker is up!

I’m deeply vexed the Hay-On-Wye Bookworms didn’t choose Dylan Thomas as their play-by-play commentator!

 

[Chinatown88]

I’m deeply vexed you didn’t choose Dylan Thomas as your play-by-play commentator.

I'm deeply vexed you haven't backread all the hilarity from previous threads and liked every post.

we as upper management unanimously agreed that we should pick actual people who've commentated on this rubber puck game.

Oprah is deeply vexed that you are naming names, and also that you didn't join.

Wait we got a poet category upcoming?

 

[Magua]

I'm deeply vexed you haven't backread all the hilarity from previous threads and liked every post.

Well, actual people who’ve commentated on this rubber puck game are probably no more hockey knowledgeable than a dead Welsh poet.

As for the rest: I’m here now, my lad! Do not blame me there are more pages in the Quackverse tomes of lore than a Proust novel.

Team Multi-Passenger Transport Vehicle: Normandy SR-2

@mja your turn

 

[Magua]

If anyone else chooses Dylan Thomas for ANYTHING in this mega draft, that person voids their team to me. They’re not suitable for ownership.

I probably would have joined if I knew this was actually going to be maximum chaos and not a simple mock when it started.

I have a category idea by the way! Inspired by the snarky loser who runs the Flyers’ Twitter......Team Social Media Coordinator.

Is that so?

 

[Striiker]

Is that so?

I'm ready for my next pick. Can we hurry this up?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm going to push for one, but I only get my way every other phase.

I like that you post Oprah as a vex symbol.
