the ambassador is an important public figure, so i needed to make the best impression. in the event that no one would care about the game's outcome we assembled a five person colts spirit team, including three people who were actually born and raised in the city and two others who merely admired the city. it was important to know these facts:
1821. a french architect
1859. the governor's mansion is demolished and in its place the soldiers' and sailors' monument
marvin harrison. 95 receptions for 1366 yards in 2006.
peyton manning. 101.0 qb rating, 31 touchdowns, 4 rushing touchdowns
racial tensions exacerbated by the 1970 consolidation the the introduction of Unigov
the White river proved to be too sandy
Addai. 4.8 yards per carry. 1081 yards.
9.5 sacks and 5.5 sacks.
hosted the 1989 panAmerican games
the annual 500 festival, which once hosted Kool and the gang

the main risk you have at the ambassador's house is spilling red wine on the carpet. i was forcefully ejected at around 3am for knocking over a table full of food and drinks, diving over it to reach the throat of an Irish physician and researcher who disputed my claim that the sleeper hold was invented by Johnny Weaver, an indianapolis native.
