READY FOR GRADING- 1000 WORDS. Please split this 50/50 between MWHazard and iOBESE- 500 Words each

Hey, we're trying this idea. If this doesn't work we can split it into two posts.

As new teammates, we wanted to answer questions on the same panel.

Max and Teodors are now available for questions, so feel free to ask things of one or both of us!

Where are we all going to get our matching anchor tattoos?

What are your three favorite fun facts about the city of Portland?

What have you asked for from Santa for Christmas?

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Max: Tattoos, are we getting the anchor on our chests or our asses? Either way, I'm in. I imagine it'll go something like this: <object width="460" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o_cpvapfAtc"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o_cpvapfAtc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="460" height="315"></embed></object>.

Teodors: "Good question and even I do have several tattoos on my own I still do not know where should we all get ours done as I have never made tattoos in Portland. If we decide to go to any artist then I think we should go to The Black Compass Tattoo Collective sallon as they have big experience into naval tattoos. I don't know about rest of you, but Im getting mine on forearm."

Max: Oh, right, forearms! Yeah, definitely forearms. I agree, the the place Teodors mentioned looks good: <object width="460" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/E3lcPF8cvVo"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/E3lcPF8cvVo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="460" height="315"></embed></object> I don't have any other tattoos, so this would be my first. Does it hurt a lot? Whatever, you all will probably get me drunk for it anyway.

Max: What's the next question? Fun facts? Ok, well Portland has the most strip clubs per capita in the United States...I get why Wally is here. Portland also had a minor league baseball team that was independent of any parent club and played against actual minor league teams in the same league. It was owned by Kurt Russell's father, Bing Russell (also an actor)- the Portland Mavericks. There's a Netflix documentary about the team called "The Battered Bastards of Baseball". Oh, and the Portland Rosebuds were the first U.S. team to play for the Stanley Cup. Back in 1916, they played against the Montreal Canadiens in a five-game series and lost, two games to three.

Teodors: "Uhh, let me refresh my memory or actually read little bit about Portland as I never been in Portland nor do I know much about it but I hope it will change pretty soon and my new teammates will show me around the city. Back to the question, the three fun facts about the city of Portland in my opinion are:

1. The fact that the name was actually decided by a coin flip. And I think the best name was flipped as Im not sure would name "Boston" fit this town as well as "Portland" does.

2. You always need a fun tradition so that world would know about you and come to the town for just that tradition or anything else. So as my second fun fact I chose to be the Portland's annual naked bike ride. I hear it draws nearly 13 thousand people which is really impressive. I think Portland Admirals should do this event when we take the cup.

3. And in the third position I would like to actually put a fun fact but at the same time point out something that i really like about the town. So the fun fact I would like to point out is the fact that for some reason pinball machines were banned in Portland. I really do not see or know the reasoning behind it but it must have been pretty serious one if politicians were discussing this issue with pinball machines. Besides that the thing I wanted to point out is the fact that Portland is really nature firendly place as there are a lot of green around and even the people who live in Portland use bikes more than cars. Really like that fact."

Max: Next one is wishlist for Santa, yeah? I want a new set of knives and cutting boards. Either ceramic or good-quality steel for the knives, and wooden cutting boards that are heavy and won't slide. That and the Good Eats collection on dvd. Like all of the episodes. And the time to cook my way through all of them. And better pans, like nice cast iron ones, handed down from a Southern chef who will then teach me their secrets. That seems realistic, right?

Teodors: "I would like to answer to this question with quoting the song lyrics "All I want for Christmas is you!" but honestly I don't need any gifts or surprises as so far Iâ€™ve been getting all I can get. Maybe some good amount of extra tpe would not hurt me, but rather than that all I need is my family and friend around me."

Max: I think he asked about Carmen Sandiego too.

Teodors: "Well she has been all over the world but the one place I know for sure that he have not been to is my home country the Letland aka Latvia and in gaming world known as 1337land. Maybe in future she will visit Latvia, but for now, no one knows where the heck she is!"

Max: Carmen Sandiego is a trollop. Funny story, the Oregon Zoo in the late 90s for an entire summer ran a live-action version of that game, with actors hired to play her henchmen and a costumed actress in the role of Carmen. Apparently you went around trying to solve where she was in the zoo. Totally didn't just look on Wikipedia for that, no way.

---

And after that, all the people in the press room left because the presser had clearly devolved into talking about Carmen Sandiego impersonators and trips to the zoo. That, my friends, does not make for a good story. "It could have been worse," Max thought to himself, "there could have been no questions." It was understandable that some work would need to be done before a bottom dwelling team's draft was more than a small corner of the Oregonian's sports section. With a renewed desire to work, they headed to the team's practice facility for training camp.
