This Last Weekend
Posted Apr 4, 2002
Well I guess another misstimed updates to my Journal is in order. Well I must say that I had a nice and packed Easter weekend. First off on Sat we had our Rugby game(s). Our A side team lost but the b side (which I was actualy alowed to start on and played the full game) won our match. In the process I hurt my knee but thankfully just enought to make it a little stiff the rest of sat and sore to the touch for the next couple of days. Which my friend Kerry used to her advantage to get back to me while in the car on Sun. I think she was just upset that she lost both games of Jengga at her father's house (where I had a very nice Easter dinner, and got to meet some of her family). Then Sun night it was off to see Blade 2 with her and a mutual friend Jason who was down from Boston. Not to bad of a movie. This weekend looks promiceing even if it will not be as packed but who ever knows what will happen

Well I am back from my nice week off. In case any of you were wondering how it went here is a little story. On Fri night the Van loaded up with us lossers on the Rugby team without cars and headed south to DC. We arived to the hotel jut to find out they messed up the reservations and there was not the proper amount of double rooms left. I ended up taking a single room for myslef spending about 4 times what I had expected but still doable thank goodness. Sat we had two games I got to play in the first half of the second game and was suprised to find that I was only lost for about 85% of the game. I was told I did very well but then again they might of just been trying to make me feel better. I did learn a lot of stuff and hopefully I will be able to turn the lessons into better playing on the field next time. Sat night we went to downtown DC to party. Somtetime Sun morning we made it back to the hotel to get some sleep and head back out to the pitch. Played our last game then caught a ride back to Downtown to see about catching a train to NC. I missed the afternoon train by about 20 mins so I had to wait about 12 hrs for the next one. Good thing they had a movie theater and restrants in the station. Watched two movies and ate some good food and got to spend some time drinking some 
in a bar reading my book (that being St. padys day it just seemed proper). I got picked on by a few people about the whole reading a book in a bar thing. Turns out one of the people got to the US by being a russian Mail order Bride so I got to pick on her back. Anywho I made it from there to NC by way of a train. Most of the week was a blur of visiting and card playing with family. Fri me and my buddy that had drove up from Tampa took off and went to Fayetville. We went to my old company and visited with the few people that we still new there then made plans to all meet up at the bar latter. We had a good time then went to a friends house. We rented a few movies and proceded to fall asleep before the first movie was on for 5 mins. Me and my buddy went up to the RDU area to visit with another on of my friends. Hitting a restrant and a movie and whatnot. Then I flew out of RDU back to Newerk and started the train trek from there home. All in all a very 
week and now I think I will take a

So what's up with the name Tacsatduck-beware the sheep lie?
Posted Dec 18, 2001
This is the second time I have written this today.....I had a little accident with the back button on my browser so I will try again.
I have had a few questions on my name here on H2G2 and other places around the web. I use the name Tacsatduck on most things I am on so if you are surfing around and you see some shmuck playing chess or chatting with the name tacsatduck then its more than likely me. Sense the two parts of the name have different stories I will tell them separately.
TACSATDUCK- is actually a smushed up form of three separate words. Tac Sat and Duck. Now the last part is easy to explain my first name is Donald and that (thanks to Disney) is forever linked to Duck. I actually used the nickname Super Duck in High School. The Tac and Sat are actually short for Tactical and Satellite. When I was in the Army I did Satellite Communications and there were two types of units one with my job could get assigned to. The fixed site is like working in a big office with 60ft dishes out side. You work in shifts and you don't have to worry about getting to dirty. The Tactical side (where I was at) would be in the middle of the woods with 8 or 20ft dishes ready to tear down and move at the drop of a hat. We used the term Tac Sat to destinush us from everyone else we went to the field with. I added the ending of my old name to distinguish my self so I was the Tac Sat Duck....tacsatduck pretty simple actually.
BEWARE THE SHEEP LIE- Well it sort of comes from this joke that I will put at the end of this entry. If you have read my entry on the Sheep war thing then you actually know some of the things I am about to say. Yes that story is mainly fictious but I used real things from my life in there. I was at AIT with a very funny and smart guy named Woody...I think his actual last name was Woodworth or some such but everyone just called him Woody. He was about to get out of the Army on a medical discharge and it was mandatory for him to see a phscologist. This pshyocolgist I do believe turned out to be a very nice looking female and Woody being himself got along rather well with her. While talking to her he had brought up that sheep tell him to do things but they lie (I do believe he got this from the joke that was going through the barracks at the time, its the one I mentioned earlier) she found this amusing and yes she did realize he was messing with her. The other part of the story that is somewhat true is about Bill (well kinda). I have a place that I hang out in Dobbs Ferry (the place I live now) and have gotten to know all the regulars pretty good. The joke was told and everybody thought it was funny. Then it became a little inside joke with us and when Bill would leave he would say something like and watch out the sheep lie. This was going on when I joined H2G2 and I figured I would put it with my name cus it was 
and I like that sort of thing you see. (oh and bill is a famous photographer by the way) So that about explains it....well all but the joke so here goes
THE JOKE THAT STARTED IT ALL
Dr. Dolittle was driving down the road and happened to get two flats at one time. He could not fix both so he figured he would walk up to the farm house he could see and ask to use the phone to call AAA. He knocked on the door and when it was answered he explained his situation. The farmer (the guy that answered the door) listened to the story and said that he could use the phone but that the one in the house was dropped and broken earlier in the day. They would have to walk out to the barn and use that one. While walking a long the farmers dog came up to Dr. Dolittle and started barking at him. Dr. Dolittle stopped and started barking back....after a while the dog stopped, turned and left...The farmer asked the Dr what that was all about and the Dr told him that the dog is tired of having nothing but the crunchy dog food and that if the farmer would not mind picking up the wed kind from time to time the dog would greatly appreciate it. The farmer laughed and said ya whatever (clearly not believing that the Dr actually talked to a dog) They got to the barn door and opened it and a inside was a horse in a very small stall. The Dr. walked over and started talking to the horse....after a little while he came back over to the farmer and told him the horse was very upset about a few things going on lately. It seems the farmer had worked the horse very hard the other day in the rain and then didn't have the decency to brush it and take care of it properly... not only that but the farmer had just moved it into this way to small of a stall just so he could hang a hammock in the other bigger stall...The Farmer didn't know what to say...all these things where true and the only way he could of know any of it is if he could talk to the horse...just then a sheep walked around the corner and the farmer quickly replied "Don't listen to that sheep she's a f**ing liar"
