Santa Con - 05

Everyone gather around and sit in a circle while I tell you a tale of one of the bestest events of the year. Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you Santa Con, the bar crawl where everyone dresses up in Christmas and other holiday attire and goes bar to bar to bar to bar to bar to bar to bar to bar... you get the picture.


(leaving the first bar)

Meet this years Santa Con Master of Ceremony's Josh -- Oh and everyone give him a round of applause, he is getting married, way to go!


You see a few years ago Mat (who is traveling through Southeast Asia currently, somthing about Mark Foley and a love for boys) and Josh who is in charge this year came across Santa Con while traveling through the Northeast, Boston I belive. So everyone dresses up like Santa or in the case of yours truely a dreidel and you bar crawl.

(on the way to the trolley heading to the fifth bar)

Santa Con 2006 is Saturday December 9 which is perfect because that is the last day of my winter term class which means the dreidel will be spinning again!!

(fourth bar)





You see there were all sorts of Santa’s, we had Bandito Santa, Vato Santa, Cuban Santa (raft included) and so many more






(fourth bar)



Here is my costume after a solid 12 hours of captain. By the way, the dreidel was not too popular in Lake Worth, but boy oh boy when you bring 30 Santa’s into a restaurant on Palm Beach people freak out, but then they see the soothing sight of a dreidel and the whole place sings the dreidel song.

(Mat & Josh's house the morning after)

Happy Friday

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I will have stories later in the week; let us just say just because it is a self-cleaning oven does not mean you should leave the excess grease when you cycle the oven to self-clean.

Enjoy the clip, good luck with your gambling and drinking. FYI, I broke my cold streak yesterday and won $50. Yep here we go, I can feel it. I'm coming back!!!

59-15, Not too shabby

I do not know what to write, words are spinning through my head at a whirlwind pace. Larry Coker has been fired at The U. He is no longer the Head Coach of a football program that won 5 national titles in less then 20 years and should have won more. Fucking tOSU in 2002 and the late flag.

What irritates me the most right now is that Paul Dee just said in the press conference that the players have not been notified. Paraphrasing here, after the game last night since it was a holiday the players have gone home. News flash, the majority of the players come from the greater Miami Area. It is not too far. They are going to have a team meeting next week. This is bush league!

To fire a man who has been nothing but class in a classless way is pathetic. Donna Shalala former Secretary of Health & Human Services under President Clinton has taken the easy way out. To fire a man whose first loss came in the 2002 National Title game on a disputed call to tOSU (24-1 record after two years); with a 59-15 overall record after 6 years. According to Paul Dee, the executioner, Athletic Director said that he if Miami is invited to play in a bowl game that Coker would be allowed to coach his team. AWWWWWWWWW how fucking nice of you. Hey nothing like a lame duck, just ask the President of the United States if he can have his balls back when Congress reconvenes in January.

I wish you well Larry, you have been a great coach and with this year helped to guide the team when extraordinary circumstances arose. This is no way to go out, you should have been given the opportunity to reload. I understand that firing the majority of the coaching staff after last years debauckle in the Peach bowl was probably your last chance and you have been dead man walking since the Louisville loss.

P.S., I hope the do not bring in Barry Alverez. Give us someone who knows the area's coaches. We do not need the nation’s number one prep QB, see Kyle Wright. We need an offensive line. The future looks bright for the U and it will be.

Thanks again. God speed and good luck on your job search. We have this nice parting gift of a $3 million buyout for you.

Who wants one?

The gamble paid off that is really all this was; one big gamble buy low sell high. After one and a half hours waiting at Toys R Us and then having the air let out of us, then seeing people at the Sony store in Boca and feeling defeated IT'S ALL MINE, ALL FUCKING MINE. HOOOOORRRRRRAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

Steve and I found them online last night. In retrospect I should have ordered more then one, like 5 that would have been hella sweet. But I have one and that is really all that matters.

HEY SUPPLY, MEET DEMAND!!

I HAVE A PLAY STATION 3. I PAID $724 INCLUDING SHIPPING. I WILL HAVE IT IN MY GREDDY LITTLE HANDS BY DECEMBER 1. PLENTY OF TIME TO SELL IT FOR CHANUKKA,HANUKA, CHRISTMAS OR SOME OTHER PAGAN HOLIDAY.

Happy Friday

And the winner is Demand

Just in case you live under a rock you might not beaware that the famed PlayStation 3 comes out Friday, November 17. Well this is a story of supply and demand. It was decided a few months ago that we should camp out in order to get in line so we could purchase a few in order to make a profit on the resale. Yeah, so I am here at home writing as opposed to sitting in line drinking.

We started doing our recon work Monday, we had an source at the Best Buy in Boca who was going to tell us when people started lining up. Kroll could not take the no hearing anything so he drove over Monday night and saw people were in line, nothing like a phone call at 1 am and hearing there are people in line. So the stores in Boca were out so that left it up to me to find the stores in Boynton. I came through, no lines at the Circuit City or Best Buy Wednesday morning, but no one could get off Wednesday as well.



So I checked the stores at 10 am, and guys who live in their parent's basement were first lined up at Best Buy, but no one was at Circuit City! So I checked after lunch and more people were at Best Buy and there were a handful at Circuit City. And the lines kept growing and growing and tents sprang up...but I found a beacon of light, a four legged sunbeam of triump with no lines.



So myself, Kroll and Lowry met up with our cars filled to the brim with supplies at 5 AM at the aformentioned Toys R Us. No one in the parking lot, no lines! My quick canopy, chairs, ipod, coolers filled with


But the PlayStation gods had something else in mind for us, I recieved some bad information when I went inside the Shining Ray of Light Wednesday night and spoke to the woman in electronics. I was told they would be getting 10 additional ones besides the pre-orders. UGH!!! So we set up shop and started drinking by 5:45AM and were throwing the football around 7ish when we were greated by the Manager. He asked what we were doing, we said waiting to get the PS3 then we were informed that they were not getting any additional ones in.

But there is a New Hope (yeah STAR WARS KICKS ASS!), there is a store not letting you line up prior to midnight tonight. So we will make one last stand.

Oh and a bit of information, the Circuit City's in Sarasota only got about 25 total PS3's. Best Buy is FUCKED, they guaranteed a mininum of 25. Want to know why I know they are fucked? Because the 20 gig base model PS3 was not shipped, there was a "glitch" So of the 400,000 that were to be shipped roughly 300,000 are shipped througout the US.

Ah, the principle of Supply and Demand. I love capitalism!!!

There are now 2238 pre-sale PS3's on EBay for over $3,000.00

Who wants some fried chicken?

Land of the lost...

Jordan had some tickets to the Dolphins game against the Chiefs (13-10 Fins) so there are 4 of us at the game, fucking hot. Just replace milk with margarita; I even have the red beard too.



I bet you are wondering why I have the post titled "Land of the lost..." well my friends let me tell you there are two places to park at Dolphins Stadium. Inside the main gate where they have grass and rows or you can park on the other side of the tracks, where there are no palm trees or grassy areas.

Inside the main gate you have scantily clad attractive women and lots of tailgating, this is where you want to be, they have tv's tents, beer & brats. We had a large cooler and a tent, but we were on the otherside of the tracks. People park there and walk inside the main gate to party with the privilaged. And while drinking your attention is drawn to the people around you, I wanted to gouge my eyes out. IT WAS HORRIBLE.

But what truely matters about the game is what Peter and I rented, the COOLEST invention ever especially when you are at a game that is lets say, not so interesting and you have money riding on others. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Kangaroo TV!!!



It is a mini tv with Directv, you get the NFL Directv expirience, including the Redzone channel and live up to the minute stats. Words can not describe how cool it is.

Bastards took my drinking money!

Just wanted to say FUCK YOU to Ohio State, nope, I refuse to put "the" in front of your name. To me you are just Ohio State.

Jim Tressel you are a fucktard. Why do you punt every possession in the second half last week versus Illinois and score no points yet this week, you put up 40 on Northwestern?

Yes, the other teams I had in my parlay did what they were supposed to do, they beat the spread or covered depending on what they were supposed to do, yet OSU decided to close the play book and go 3 and out on all possessions.

Thanks for costing me the 3 bills I should have won. Oh and you owe me a new remote for my cable box, it hit the wall because you are a FUCKTARD.

Oh and Bobby Patrino you thought I was going to not say fuck you to you as well?!?!?! Seriously the mighty Louisville offense was held to 53 total yards in the second half versus Rutgers Thursday night, not too mention ZERO points. Way to go!!! Cost me my Friday night drinking money!!!

And Frank Beamer at your Virginia Tech Hokies, WHAT THE FUCK IS A HOKIE????!?!?! Four trips into the redzone today versus Kent State and 3 field goals, you suck too. All Kent State can do is not get out of the way of National Guard troops during the 1960s. Where is "Beamer ball" ?!?!?! As I type this you have 11 minutes left to score 9 points, think you ladies can do that?

You all suck monkey nuts, what am I supposed to do, now that you fuckers cost me my drinking money?

Baby I can change...

Oh baby, I can change, I promise I will write more I swear!

Sorry about the lack of posting, I wish I could have this cool excuse, story for my lack of loquacious and verbose writing but I really do not. I have just been lazy, not lazy Sunday lazy, just lazy enough not to write to you.

Well, let us recap what has happened since I last wrote…

• There was the scuffle at the OB where Ned went out on his crutches.
• The Cardinals won the World Series and now thank God we do not have to listen to Tim McCarver for another 6 months.
• Ohio State sucked ass against Illinois in the second half --- PUNT EVERY POSSESION – fuckers cost me some cake.
• Fantasy Fest came and went and I know how I promised pictures and stories, well I did not make it. Everyone bailed and I was not going to split the suite for 3 nights totaling $800 and then shell out for fun – no I’m not cheap, I am fiscally responsible.
• Oh, that last one reminds me, for the first time since 1994, the Democrats are now in control of Congress and Rummy is out. Hmmm I wonder if he would have stayed as Secretary of Defense had the Country not wanted a change. Just something to ponder.

I have just been working during the day, going to the Wishing Well a few nights a week and working on my Masters.

I promise, if you take me back I will post from once to three times a week. Baby I can change, I know I can; you complete me.

Yeah, I know I had you at hello.
