TU Cent Thoughts, 12-18-05
Dec. 18th, 2005 02:15 pmOne week till Christmas. I found a nice tie to wear, but now I have to go find a nice dress shirt to go with it. I think a grey dress shirt will work best.
Church was cool. I love Dr. Bob Ford...one of the few pastors who doesn't put me to sleep when he gives the message. I pattern my messages in the BSU after him...full of interesting stories. Dr. Ford is a fascinating red headed man who grew up in Mary Baker's Eddy Church of Scientology. He fell in love with a certain godly woman in college and that's how he found the Baptist church. He became so enamored that he went off to be a missionary in Czechoslovakia and Scotland. Fascinating man, with even more fascinating messages.
Mom made her one pound spaghetti, but instead of ground beef she used ground deer. Different, and very, very good.
The thief wants me to call him a rogue. Fine. I'll call you a rogue, thief.
My Golden Gopher cuz Lammie has miiiiighty fiiiiine taste in women. Hot Indian women. Mmmmmm, hot Indian women with their Hindu propriety. (Thank you Facebook for helping me keep up with faraway cuzes).
Random Jameson got mad at me for misquoting him in my previous Convo of the Day. He knows that I purposely misquote people to make myself look better. Funny, perhaps because it's my blog? My blog. Yes? Pwned, Jameson, pwned.
(Also I edit the convo to make it a better story. To appreciate this, go watch the Simpsons episode where Lisa learns the truth about Jebediah Springfield. Fiction is better than history. Which one do we read more...Shakespeare's account of Julius Caesar or Plutarch's account of Julius Caesar?)
If you don't like it, you could always comment with corrections if it bothers you that much. Sheesh.
Convo of the Day:
D2: So you're going to college in Boston, right?
Ky: Yep.
D2: So I guess you're a big JFK fan?
Ky: JFK?
D2: ZOMG
D2: Did you just type that to annoy me or are you really that ignorant?
Ky: Hey now! It's only my first semester in Boston.
D2: I was about to ask if you've been to the JFK Library...
Ky: JFK Library?
D2: Good Lord, kids are ignorant these days. I would kill to go to the JFK Library as a history major.
Ky: Could you just tell me what JFK is?
D2: I'm a history teacher, so I'm going to make you work for it. You've lived in New England for most of your life, right?
Ky: Yeah, mostly a Jersey girl though.
D2: You a Democrat?
Ky: Yeah.
D2: But you don't know the JFK reference?!?
Ky: Just because I am a Democrat does not mean I should know the JFK reference.
D2: You ever taken an American History class?
Ky: We never got past WWII.
D2: That explains your ignorance. Do me a favor, okay?
Ky: What?
D2: Stamp out your ignorance by typing JFK into Wikipedia.
Ky: Okay.
Ky: Oh. But I seriously have never heard those initials in my life before.
D2: ...
D2: God, thank you for showing me why I should teach history.
Quote of the Day:
"Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there." Genesis 22:2
You know, you won't find this in the Bible, but Abraham was a lunatic. I mean even if Charlton Heston's voice came from the heavens above and told me to sacrifice my one and only son, I would just say no. No. Sorry, but no. I mean, if God really wanted to test Abraham, I think he should have just made Abraham kill Isaac. Then again, this is why I am not God, nor will I ever claim to be.

theferrett wants you to read today's bloody brilliant Doonesbury. As do I.
---------------------------------
There's this whole thing going around about how some people cheer more for their fantasy teams than their "real team". Well to that I say they never had a real team at all. Only losers cheer for their fantasy team more. What fantasy does is save the NFL by making people watch really bad matchups like the Eagles-Rams game. I mean, if the Steelers were winning and I needed Koren Robinson to catch a TD to win the game for the Vikings, I am going to cheer for my Steelers. Forget fantasy football, I want to watch my real team in the real playoffs!
I watched part of the Razorback basketball game last night. We have a lottery pick caliber wingman in Ronnie Brewer with a solid front line and good number two shooters. The Razorbacks will fall and rise with point guard play.
And TU folks, I wouldn't expect to much from our Golden Hurricane this year. Rice got killed by the Razorbacks, and Rice could kill us. It comes down to point guard play and our swingmen are inexperienced. It's called taking your lumps.
---------------------------------
My sister recently found the sheet music to Love Story. It's only the right hand, though. "Where do I begin..." Also working on a very simple version of the "BANG! BANG!" song revived by Kill Bill.
The scary thing is I'm working on Vietnamese at the same time by trying the sing the Vietnamese versions of those two songs. You know what they say about killing two birds...
---------------------------------
If you like history and sports, the reinforcement the two give each other is amazing. For example, you'll often hear Boston referred to as "Beantown". Now, supposedly, Ky says that's antiquated and nobody in Boston calls in Beantown anymore. Because these days few restaurants serve the baked Boston beans that earned the city its nickname.
Then again, with Rogers Clemens returning, there's another meaning to "Beantown"...
(Aren't I clever, tying sports and history so subtly like that? Or not so subtly, heh.)

I have plans for 85 of my icons. I have a few more ideas but they require leet photoshop skills. Anyone want to volunteer a Christmas gift or two for me and make me some delicious icons?
