Poo on Mizzou
There are no fans on the face of the planet (Scottish soccer hooligans excepted) more dedicated that the KU basketball fans.
Long about 5:30 in the A.M. this morning, Allen Field house was filled with 750 students vying for the chance to wait in line for a entire week for the privilege to enter to most holy of holy sports arenas next Monday when our valiant knights clad in the Crimson, Blue and the purest white armor to destroy the purest form of evil ever known to exist, the missouri basketball team.
Yeah, that's right, I said 5:30 a.m. for the privilege to wait in line for a full week to watch a game that doesn't start until NEXT MONDAY!

Your fearless leader needs the name of a really good restaurant in Larryville (Lawrence) that is relatively inexpensive (<20 bucks a person) and I need it quickly. The winner of this challenge will receive a virtual pat on the back for giving me the low down.

Dear "People's Leftist, Nihilist, Communistic, Liberation of the Inherited Wealth Children of the World Movement",
In the name of all that is good in the world, I ask you to please stop. Stop protesting for the end to a war that doesn't even exist yet, against a country whose leader would love to see each and every member of our "yearning masses" dead. Stop demanding that OUR government take away more of OUR money and give it to HIV positive African baby-factories because Bono says they "need" it. Stop demanding and end to the economic system that transformed a worthless excuse for a imperial colony into the most powerful organization in the history of the world, and that allows you to wear your Abercrombie, Gap, Aero Postale, Banana Republic designer clothes. Stop feeling sorry for the families of mass murders after the authorities deprive them of the "quality-time" they deserve with their Husbands, Fathers, and Brothers. Stop basking in the spotlight. Stop hijacking what was once a legitimate political movement concerned with the well-being of ALL people, even the Americans.
We don't hate you; we don't think you are the devil, why do you insist that our chosen leaders are? We aren't asking you to deny your passion for change and rebellion. We aren't asking you to change your opinions. We are just asking you to become a productive member of the greatest country on the planet. We just ask that when you have some valid complaint, don’t immediately grab a sign condemning the President for clubbing baby seals, try writing a letter, starting a petition, or submiting a editorial, anything sensible will do. The rest of us are tired, and we don’t want to humor you anymore. "The Man" has be damned enough for one generation. Please come home.
Anxiously awaiting your reply,
The People of the United States of America

Every so often there are hidden indicators in politics that give us true insite into the motives of the world leaders, here is todays:
Over the past 7 days, Yasser Arafat has expressed his desire to give the Israelis the, "peace of the Quraysh", sounds noble right? For those of you who want to know what that means, check it here to get it from the horses mouth. For the rest of you, I'll paraphrase.
Muhammed lived in a village controlled by the Quraysh tribe, with whom he had his differences. So he gathered up some "followers" and fled from the village into the local wilderness. A short time later he came back with his followers, armed to the teeth by a rival tribe, and tried to destroy the Quraysh. He got his butt handed to him, but managed to make a peace treaty with the tribe leaders. He quickly went back and rearmed. Then he attacked again with twice the force and killed the leaders of the tribe and pillaged the village.
Many times these hidden indicators can be hidden and difficult to read. In this case we all know what he means.

Now I realize I've got no shape and size to the girl with the world in her eyes
The girl sets my heart racing, but my engine is stalled
Now I pace myself 'cause I gotta stay in front man
Blast like an astronaut, crash like a stunt man
To worlds where witty boys get the pretty girls they merit
But she holds the sadle, the stick, the carrot
So I rise like degrees in July or fall faster
Luck is a lady, but I wouldn't put it past her
as she fills me with thrills like a roller coaster
or slams me with amps like a bath with a toaster
Now my knees are shaking and I find my spine is gone
from holding up the pedestal that I've put her on

If the world were a parent, and North Korea the child, this would be it's desperate cry for attention.
TOG's official theory? North Korea is try desperately to matter. The're socialist economy is dead and the government is looking for an issue to deflect the increasing interior heat onto. I think they are basically trying to enter hostage negotiations with neither a gun nor a hostage.

Ye football gods saw justice done this night, with the Buckeyes of The Ohio State University ending the University of Miami's reign of terror over the mere mortals of 34 staight teams. The Buckeyes were rewarded for playing football the way it was meant to be played, with hard nose and a crushing defense.
I haven't heard the analogy yet, so I'll be the first. This year's NCAA title game was basically an exact copy of last years Super Bowl.

Article II subsection B of the 4th chapter clearly states:
Parents do stupid things, but sometimes they go above and beyond the point of reckoning. For these moments, I hereby institute the "Mucci Parental Moment" award. Named in honor of Nick's parents. The criteria (open to discussion) for receiving this prestigious award are as follows:
1. The act in question must have easily foreseeable disastrous and/or life threatening consequences
2. The act must be easily preventable
3. The act must take true effort to complete.
To help aid the judges of the awards, here is a example.
Accidentally locking family out of the house is NOT a Mucci Parental Moment. But, having all the locks to the house changed without notice and then proceeding to do so would qualify (on the basis of rule 3)
This award is not to be given out liberally, only the vilest, most obtuse violations of common sense should be even considered.
Let me know if anybody has any questions or amendments.

out with the old... and right back in with it
I thought I start off 2003 by posing some random thoughts I had in 2002. (I couldn't really think of anything wittier, so you all will just have to survive)
I’m pretty sure I’m the most cynical person on the face of the earth
Why is it that when western movies are broken down, the acting is horrible, the special effects are abysmal, and the plot lines are childishly predictable, and yet, when put together they make some of the best pieces of cinema in history.
Although each government has been in power of their respective countries for the same time, they have polar opposite economic theories. Over 50 years later every little McDonald’s Happy Meal’ mini-plastic hunk of junk sorry excuse for a children’s toy is made in China. And billions of dollars worth of electronic components are made in Taiwan. Anybody want to eliminate Capitalism* now?
Why does anyone in the world find it necessary to use AOL? Do they really enjoy paying twice as much for the privilege of using inferior software?
The phrase “It’s always in the last place you look” is pointless. If it weren’t in the last place that you looked, you would continue searching thus negating the aforementioned space’s title of being the last place you looked.
I still don’t like people.
If those doctor’s trying to clone people out in international waters had a company and slogan I’m pretty sure this would be it, “International Cloning: building a weaker more disease-prone you”
Why is that anybody can pick out a soap opera while channel surfing with only a split second view? What exactly is the give away that allows every member of the human race to supernaturally identify the genre of shows we have never even seen? Everybody understands, but nobody knows why.
*a.k.a. the most evil, money-grubbing, cold-hearted, economic theory ever conceived
