Disc Jockeys are Terrible At Panini's in Akron, where Monday Night Football involves a Disc Jockey: D.J.: Time for a quiz! Who was the only person to win the Butkus award? MattHo: Uh, that's awarded every year, idiot. D.J.: Oh, let me check my sources. ( 20 minutes later ) D.J.: Uh, who was the LATEST person to win the Butkus award? Random Drunken Guys: A.J. Hawk!!!! A.J. Hawk!!! Me: Paul Posluszny, because A.J. Hawk got screwed! D.J.: You win, what's your name??? Me: Jesus. D.J.: What do YOUR FRIENDS call you? Me: The Lord. D.J.: If I were to put that name on a gift certificate, would that work? Me: It just might. Props to the two or three people in the universe who get the reason why I think that's so funny.

Change of Pants I did not notice the change of pants by Paterno during the OSU-PSU game. That's gotta be embarassing. Link to this article Posted at 10:21:57 PM EST by copus

40 First Dates The rebates came in for my projector. This means that my bank account is safe for the moment, and I now have a Blockbuster card good for 40 free movie or game rentals. I get slightly over a year to use them, and I can only use one free movie rental per day. I guess it's time to catch up on all those movies I've missed out on in the last two years or so. Or have forty first dates. Well, I guess going down to my dungeon to "watch a movie" makes for a creepy first date. I guess I need to find forty second dates. Ladies may apply within. And Baker, I think I set up a perfect "going to his basement isn't what makes a date with James creepy" joke. Go to it. Link to this article Posted at 08:24:29 PM EST by copus
Hello Vader This photograph that Bu sent me has been haunting my dreams all week: 
Absolutely fabulous. On another note, I got into a discussion this weekend on how important learning to read is, and how learning to read takes teamwork. Remember, there's no "i" in "literacy." Link to this article Posted at 07:28:01 PM EST by copus
Musberger Mania Hmmm... it appears that the only day in the fall which I have time to post is Tuesday. I'd better make it count. And what is more important than college football and Brent Musberger? USC has formally complained about Brent Musberger's commentary. I know, it's pretty bad, but for a school to complain... oh, wait.. for revealing privileged information on signals. *I* would have complained about his commentary in general. I didn't listen to the sound on the USC-Nebraska game, but I do remember his OSU-Texas commentary where he revealed Troy Smith's super-secret hand signals. At first, I thought giving out that information was kind of strange, but I figured someone had to TELL ole' Brent about that in the first place, because he's not that observant. If you're a defensive coordinator, it's probably pretty obvious anyway when a QB makes a peculiar hand signal when it looks like a blitz is on. At any rate, God Job, Brent. It looks like you've made yourself a few more fans on the West Coast. Link to this article Posted at 08:10:38 PM EST by copus
Yelling FIRE in a crowded dumpster Oh, no, students are blamed for rioting after a big football win! AND SCHOOL ISN'T EVEN IN SESSION. Really, late August and early September is one of the deadest times of the year around the OSU campus (game weekends excluded, of course). Football is the "off season" for dumpster burning in Columbus. C'mon, summer is PEAK for that stuff. There's not much going on, so, hey, let's burn a dumpster! To be fair, from the looks of the chart in that article, spring finals and graduation is the peak time for burning a dumpster. You know, destroying all that evidence before you leave town. Not that I would know.....

I mean, so much football to watch, I don't have time for much else... you know, besides chasing my three legged cat around a pitch black yard at 11pm on a work night. That's always fun. It's not that I don't have tons of stuff to talk about, like how Hope is Emo (not *that* Hope, as far as I can tell), or about my new friend Mongoloid Mike, or even how we finally settled the debate about religion And I'm sure I'd have insightful commentary about all those things, except that there's probably a football game going on in the world SOMEWHERE... and I probably have a job to go to or something.

Life is a Cold Shower I made a valiant attempt to flush my water heater to remove possible sediment yesterday, but somehow I managed to turn off my pilot light. This resulted in a refreshingly cold shower this morning, followed by a fun time rolling on my basement floor trying to get the pilot light re-lit. And I *still* couldn't get the thing to drain properly..... Link to this article Posted at 09:15:30 PM EST by copus
