• “The Office” will be broadcast on the National Alert System
• Our nations animal would be the Carousel Horse
• The Star Spangled Banner will be replaced with various Ratatat songs
• No Taxation without Candy
• Breakfast would take over every other meal
• The presidential seal would be a different Cat Macro every term

I would probably vote for her. Here is a picture of Taylor giving a rousing speech:  Howard “T-Mauk” Dean

Just wanted to get some feedback from my friends.

Here is why Saturday ruled so much: Technically it was Saturday when I was enjoying Minus the Bear via iPod with my good friend Jennifer, and that was an amazing start to an awesome day…

I went back up to finish my work as a judge helper at the Blue Springs Forensics tournament. Reuniting with friends, then just leaving again. But the brief time there was very nice. Then it was off to Trevor’s football game.

In case you didn’t know, my brother is a freaking badass. Let us run through his football stats this year: 5 carries, 240 yards, 4 Touchdowns. A. Fantasy. Juggernaut.
Future Hall of Famer^

After Trevor’s game I returned to judge finals of the forensics tournament, said bye to Langston and Schu (my old coaches) and then prepared for the arrival of Team Bro-Debow-Diss-Sike-SeeYa. My mom made cookies because she knew Adam was coming, and she always does that for some reason. Trevor noticed and pointed out “something weird growing from my chin.” Then Tony, Chase, Jordan, and Adam got to my house. It was backyard football time. We teamed up. Trevor was both-team-captains.

Team Bro-Out Diss: Adam, Tony, Me, and Trevor
Team DeBow-Sike-Goo: My Dad, Jordan, Chase, and Trevor’s friend Nick.

The game. was. epic. I think it ended in a tie or something. Like soccer, but with more of my dad falling and hurting his ankle and Jordan knocking over my 8 year old brother to intercept a pass.

My Dad (says the hat) ^

After the football game we left for Lawrence, KS. I hear they think their football team is pretty good this year. We got to the Grenada just in time to hear some of the opening band. I forget their name, but they were good. Next up, was Rooney. They were… there.

And finally… the Polyphonic Spree. It was epic. So good. If you want a nice, extensive review read Chase or Adam’s blog about it. Let’s just say, I saw Risman dance more than I ever thought I would. I saw Tony dance more than I ever thought I should. I saw Jordan dance better than I ever thought he could. I saw Chase dance… I think.
And I was rocking out as well. It was the best show I have seen on that small of a stage is quite some time. I counted 23 people total in the band that night. Wow.

Here is a shot of the Spree via Chase’s Phone

Basically it was an awesome show, and now I am too lazy to keep blogging about it. Let’s see what is in the news…

Puzzlingly, young adults in Japan seem particularly drawn toward mayonnaise, and thus Koji Nakamura might have a shot at success with his Mayonnaise Kitchen restaurant in a Tokyo suburb, according to an August Reuters story. Included in his fare are several mayonnaise-flavored cocktails, including the “Mayogarita.” Hmm… I bet it ages like a fine wine.

A 19-year-old man was arrested in Darwin, Australia, in August after he shoplifted a pornographic magazine and retreated to a public restroom in the Karama Shopping Centre. A security guard trailed him, joined by a police officer, but they decided to wait until he was finished before apprehending him. That was very, very polite of them. I guess they would have needed an extra handcuff otherwise.

Picture of the Day:

Cyclops Kitten. So creepy.

Owen Wilson made his first public appearance since he DIDN’T (allegedly) attempt to commit suicide. He was seen at the premiere for his movie “The Darjeeling Limited” (This title was taken because The Royal Tenenbaums 2 seemed too sequel-y). What wasn’t noted is that Owen Wilson was hanging out with Terrell Owens, and combined they have around $145 million reasons to live.

In September, police in Hertfordshire, England, stood fast under criticism for their program of placing posters around the area reading, “Don’t Commit Crime.” Said a police spokeswoman, “If stating the obvious helps to reduce crime or has any impact at all, we will do it.” What I noticed is that the name of the city, Hertfordshire, seems to be made up of many other city names. Also, I was totally going to rob that gas station until I saw a small yellow piece of paper reminding me that I was wearing the ski mask because robbing places is illegal.

Tommy Tester, 58, minister of Gospel Baptist Church in Bristol, Va., was arrested in July after he allegedly urinated at a car wash, in front of children and police officers, while wearing a skirt. I once thought I had lost faith in organized religion.

My rommate Mike Swart is joining up with a pyramid scheme because it is quote, “funny.” He invested $200 with the hopes that he could find two people who were “stupid enough” to give him $200. That would put him up $200. But then he thought to himself, “Who would be stupid enough to just give someone $200 with the hopes of maybe making money?” Mike leaves today for Des Moines for a convention of people handing each other checks worth $200.

There was an auction in Japan for a dog with a heart shape naturally in it’s hair (photo attached). The dog sold for around 582,988… yen. That’s about$5,000, or 25 pyramid schemes. But look at how damn cute that dog is.

I found out Eminem has 2 songs on Rolling Stones Top 500 songs of All-Time list. (Stan, Lose Yourself). I’m pretty sure he was one of the only modern artists on there as well. Take that radiohead! Except U2 had a ton of songs too… fucking bono. BUT! Eminem Oscars 1, U2 Oscars 0 (i think).
