Bored Boy at Bush Rally

Read the article and check out the slide show of the kid falling asleep during the rally. It's pretty funny. What's also funny is that CNN accused Letterman of editing in the boy into the clip among other things.

New California Quarter



"California's new quarter shows 19th century conservationist John Muir, Yosemite's Half Dome and a California condor on the coin's tails side. Los Angeles artist Garrett Burke produced the winning design." --from San Francisco Chronicle

Other designs that were entered in the contest:




With the Hollywood & Golden Gate Bridge coin, people outside California might think they were right next to each other.

Ok, here are my superpower rankings:

1. Telekinesis
2. Mind reading
3. Teleportation
4. Prescience
5. X-ray vision
6. Flight
7. Invisibility
8. Regeneration
9. Super strength
10. Super hearing

These are open to debate. That is the point. Also, if RAs had superpowers, what would our RA superpowers be?

March Madness Commercials

Here is my list of the top three commercials I cant stand during the tournament (I'm sure I forgot some atrocious ones so feel free to add your own)

3. McDonald's "I'm loving it" commercials. Whatever happened to Ronald, Hamburglar, and Grimace?

2. The Direct TV lets have some actor read these awful letters. Who is interested in hearing these?

1. Those NCAA "we have 3 billion student athletes and most are going pro in something other than sports." I cant stand these (I think I might dislike these more than Mark Prior and Posada combined). I know lots of football and basketball players who started playing because they wanted to be famous. And your a basketball player (majoring in psych is not part of your college identity).

I'm sick of the Microsoft office ones, but I don't mind them that much. I like the guy getting dunked with water.

And I like the Miller and Bud light commercials

Greatest Voltron Ever

So which one do you like:

Vehicle Voltron


The Classic Lion Voltron



OR

Emmy Award Winning:
3-D Voltron



As a child I knew the most about Lion Voltron; however, I had a stong liking about Vehicle Voltron. Unfortunately, they hardly showed Vehicle Voltron. I always wanted to know more about Vehicle Voltron. I liked that they had many characters. Lion Voltron had only 7 crew members. I was also upset that in Lion Voltron they killed off the Blue Lion driver just so they could have a girl (i.e. the Princess) driving it (A move probably made for marketing purposes).

An owl watching in on those Hooters

I think it's pretty ridiculous that people do these things especially when applicants are preparing for an interview.

More Basketball Scholarships for Cal and Northwestern?

Perhaps, if some of the rules that the NCAA is proposing do come into effect.

King of the RA Mountain

So Kirk and I were discussing who would win in an RA last man standing King of the Mountain event. The only thing I can say with certainty is that Kirk would not win after telling me he would betray me in the early going and seemed to think he could handle up to 5 others coming at him. But here is how I envision things going down.

-Kirk, brimming with misplaced self confidence, gets thrown out with ease by the rest of the group sick of his cocky attitude.
-Saumitra, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings, jumps out of the ring
-Mike, relishing the opportunity to take out Geoff, jumps him from behind and tosses him out
-Paul, upset at Mike's dirty play, dispatches him with ease
-The rest of the group realizes Paul is still in the match and gang up to eliminate him
-Paul does not go quietly and takes Ashley with him
-Sandy and Golnaz team up to take out Chishen
-Meanwhile Edmund and Irene engage in a fierce battle, finally won by Edmund with his new skills from boot camp
-Sandy double crosses Golnaz, leaving herself and Edmund for the title
-Edmund plays out a methodical chess like battle, wearing down Sandy and taking the title of Fed King of the Mountain

or so he thinks

-the lights go on and Marc and Adam descend from the rafters and easily overwhelm Edmund ala the Bushwackers.
-Finally Marc and Adam fight it out in a cage match for the ultimate champ. However much as in Fantasy football this battle is a snoozer won by Marc almost by default.

Sports Post: Stackhouse shows that when there is a will, there is a way

"Remember a few weeks ago, Jerry Stackhouse, who underwent knee surgery before the season, said he was shutting it down for the rest of the year. The Wizards said, no, you are not. And, as if to reinforce that, Jordan played Stackhouse 41 minutes in back-to-back games. So, Stack came up with another plan to reduce his workload. He told Jordan to bench him, let somebody else start and don’t play him until the second quarter. That way, Stackhouse is assured of keeping his minutes down. “I think this plan is going to work,” Stackhouse said."
