International Roasting Convention...

Ed, you probably need to consider changing professions. You need to start an international school of roast, where top flight pig roasters could meet and trade seasoning secrets and general roasting techniques. Its important research in an understudied field... you could make a real contribution.

One more thing... to make your links active you need to add a little bit of HTML

Here is an example, just remove all of the #...<#a href="http://www.dodge-ball.com/site/">Dodge-ball The Movie<#/a>

Simply Remove the # and you get...
Dodge-ball The Movie

Between the quotes you put your url, while the text after the Url is the link label.... also check this... I guess you can add links using a little tool bar within the create post window... also don't forget to check the blogger FAQ for other cool shnap.

Insomnia

Someone call Al Pacino. It's 10pm here in blighty and still light outside. Usually it's cloudy by this time so it's not a problem, but all that fucking dennis-quaid-day-after-tomorrow shit must be happening or something. Anyway, no point hitting the hey yet, so i thought i'd share some good news...I'M BONA FIDE! yep, i got a job with the largest and oldest planning consultancy in the UK. Oh, and some nice wages too. Now i can think about buying a car, but not just any old car...oh no. for just £3000 I cna buy a fully restored 1968 MGB GT....check it out now, funk soul brother

PS. how do you make a hyperlink active?

Living it up...

Sounds like Ed is living the dream. I can see hime laying on the beach with Mo by his side, a margarita in one hand, and an illegal cuban in the other.

I must have missed that hyperlink lesson...

muff's new hometown team

Sunday afternoon, sipp'n some coffee...

Its a beautiful Sunday afternoon here in Columbus, its just under 80 degrees, there's a nice breeze, the sun is shining and its not too humid... but its humid. Anyway I'm chilling at the cup-o-joe at the end of the street, maxing and relaxing. Its nice to hear from everyone... anybody got some cool shit happening... Jared, did I hear you got a new job? Brit boy, sounds like you'll be doing some good GIS stuff in Britain some time soon. As for me I'm just coasting along... actually I've got to move out in the next couple of weeks and I've been looking for places... the equation comes down to space * location = cost * comfortablity. I looked at a one bedroom crack shack for 350 a month... and lets just say anything I left in there would probably be up for grabs by the neighbors. I also looked at a couple of two bedroom town-home type deals, and nothing really jumped out at me. I'll probably come to some sort of a decision next weekend. Actually next weekend I might try to make a trip to the badlands off road park in Atica Indiana. They've got all sorts of off road trails with various difficulty ratings... kind of like rapids. Anyhoo, people with stockers (a car with no modifications, i.e. mine) can only go on specific trails.

I'd like to recruit a couple of other jeep owning people, so who knows if I'll go next weekend or not, but once this summer I'd like to go. If and or when I'll be sure to take some crazy pictures for posting to the blog. Alright people, let me know if those of you state side have anything planned for memorial day... crap, once I said those words, memorial day I remembered about the golf tournament here... oh well maybe I'll go on Friday, maybe I won't. Keep it real people.

Oh yea, one more thing... Ed is living the dream in Mexico... so if, by chance he drops some blog... it would be a beautiful thing. PEACE!

Advanced European Civilisation

Hello...what, what!! Soz about the lack of blogables from me recently, been trying to secure a source of income other than free governmental unemployment benefit and scamming money from British National Newspapers who buy faked tortured iraqi prisoner photo's. Decided to go straight and get a real job. Interviewed with those nonces 'daan sooowff' but despite there generous compensation (including car of my choosing, within reason) i thkn i'll have to say no. Fear of turning gay, or just talking like a 'waaaaaaaanker, governor' is enough to put me off.
Anyway, i thought i may entertain you boys (and traci) with the lastest chart hits here on the british pop parade, so you can look cool to your mates.
First comes 'Snow Patrol'. soft roc, of the coldplay mould, but not quite as good. heavily backed by their label they have glossy videos, backcombed hair and angst ridden love-rock; but don't impart the same sense of talent on their instruments and from their front men as apple's dad does.
Next comes Natasha Beddingfield, brother of David. She has picked up the handba of 'girl power' found by the spice girls and swung around by destiny's child. BUt rather than brushing off the dirt and prissy it up, she shoves it in your face and doesn't care for the steroetype. Although easy to dismiss any track by a female title 'independance' as girl power, this actually is a unique sounding and genre busting tune. good summer anthem whatever your chromosomes.
Finally, 'The Scissor Sisters'...actually a bunch of blokes. Not sure about these fellas. Synth heavy with frampton-style voice mod's, tough boy lyrics, but often cliche'd and too bouncy in its rhythem to be menacing. strange mix that you either like or don't.
Until next time pop-pickers....over and out.

Jhon's top ten

John Frusciante apparently has put "make new album" on fuckin 6 of his ten things to do. Check it www.johnfrusciante.com click latest news. You can also get an acoustic version of the "Shadows collide with people" and another freebee album too.
Idiot savant?

Newcastle on the tele...

Good top ten J-man... speaking of Jared, Stpeven Gerrard of Liverpool had a great centering pass that some dude totally screwed up. If you can't tell I'm watching Newcastle take on Liverpool, at Anfield (spelling?). Its been a while since I've watched a premiership game, and if I know anything, I know its 10000 times better than MLS... on just about every possetion the ball is advanced towards the other teams's goal... Italian soccer is a little more 'chill' as the Italians generally take a different approach to the game. Alright, thats my blog and I'm sticking to it. Oh yea, one more thing, they showed a couple of Geordie Fans in the crowd, and they had their shirts off (classic Geordie)... oh oh, there go's Hesky... man he's large.

Jared's top ten

Go see no-name bands weekly.
Play bass, keyboards and guitar.
Camp on the Pacific shore and Mt St Helen
Feed hog to a vegetarian.
Learn to Kayak
Get strippers in the hottub
Never order the same beer as before
Run and lift alternating days
Get a Jeep and give Traci a massage
Record an album.

Love'n it...

That be the shiz Bradley. Once again I'm blogging on the run... right now I'm in Mike Heslop's (Jaime's Mike) new coffe bar Kerouac Cafe. Its a quaint little place influenced by famous writers. Anyhooch, If I can find something to top Brad's two recent posts I will, otherwise I'll drop some blog tomorrow... seriously, why dosen't blogger's spell check recognize blog

Creative side...

Brad, its nice to see your creative side... you rule.

picture...

If you want to post a picture you need to utlize this line of code <"img" src="http://www.example.com/mypicture.jpg"> Just drop the quotes and enter in the url of the picture. Aparrently its possible to include your profile picture each time you post, but I haven't spend enough time trying to figure it out... also I'm trying to add the ability to make comments "underneath" a post, rather than just posts... anyhoo... more to come later, after socom practice, keep it real my peps.

Top 10

Now for a girly version of a summer top 10 list:
1. get a good tan

3. not pass out before midnight at the pig roast, but still finish a handle of my good friend Captain Morgan
4. save money
5. go on vacation somewhere I’ve never been before (possibly see some “wild horses”)
6. spend time with my niece Caroline
7. read a good book...suggestions?

Memorial...

I might be able to obtain two passes to the Memorial... probably just for one day. Our office aparently has a set of two passes that are good for the entire week, and we'll be getting an extra set of two good for one day (saturday). Anyway I was thinking I could probably take a half day on the Friday and meet someone there. I'll find out more later this week.

Happy B-day muff

blog pirate...

This blog comes to you thanks to the open Wi-fi connection of some unknown neighbor of Seth & Brad. Last night ended pretty good for me, I drove two drunk chicks home, and you know what happens to drunk chicks when they get alone in a car with me. As for the rest of the crew I, I think they helped close the bar, literally and figuratively and it shows this morning. Anyhooch, I wanna see more top 10 lists for the summer, send 'em in and the rest of us can comment... PEACE!

Mo blogn @ hedocs u

Mo blogn @ hedocs u love it. brad,ed,haris,seth say hi

Rainy Saturday...

Well its a rainy, lazy saturday afternoon... the race for the cure is going on and I'm sitting in stauf's drinking my coffe and blogging on the run. Remember, Brad & Jared especially... driving by staufs at night and yelling die yupie scum? Well now I'm part of the yupie scum. Its funny how things change.

So what, if any concerts are people waiting for this summer? I know brad got tickets to metallica, but I think thats actually in september or something. Other than than that I haven't really heard of anything... I guess actually just haven't looked or paid attention to who's on tour and who's in the studio... actually I just got an email from Audio Slave promo shnap and their going into the studio... also Korn is working on a new album. Aparently their requesting the help of Little John... you know, Little John and the East Side Boys... I can just picture Johnathan Davis screaming "What... O.K." Keep it real my people and let me know what you got cooking for the summer.

A note about blogging

It will post even if it says it isn't. Hence the bludgening of the nucleus.

NUCLEUS !!!

nuff said.

NUCLEUS !!!!

NUCLEUS !!!!

Brad loves D-fish...

I just watched one of the best finishes to a basketball game... maybe ever. Tim Duncan stroked a crazy fade-away jumper at the top of the key with Shaq-Daddy all over him. It was similar to the Jordan-Elo shot. Not to be outdone, the lakers got a crazy inbound pass & shot combo from Derick Fisher... the man had 0.4 seconds to catch & shoot and he stroked it. Anyhoo, random basketball glory

One love...

I guess everyone needs a good shout out now and again. Sorry for all the gory details of Andy's email... but it clarifies a few things... also for future reference (correct me if I'm wrong) but...

Posh rah-rah tarzans = snooty, well dressed, assholes who have general feelings of entitlement

Anyway, I ommited 'Extended vacation' from my top ten list. Realistically, I won't be able to leave Columbus for more than a week until the end of September / early November. Those are the deadlines for the project I'm working on and I already bailed for a week to hit up AZ & the canyon. Bottom line I'd like to take a trip across the pond, but I'm not 100% sure if / when it will go down.

In the meantime, we can all take solace in the blog... that's what its here for... it lives to serve and protect this community of friends and their communication needs... ahh the ever present beatuy of the blogg... its the circle of blog... its the blogg of the antelope, the blog of the Giraffe.

Oh yea, I also have a question for Ed... where are you living this summer?

Translation...

Here's what Andy's "on about"...

Hey Fellas What you upto? I’m here, going loopy being at home, bored. I STILL haven’t gotten any unemployment benefit yet, but apparently it’s on its way…should be around £300 as they’ll back date it to the day I landed.I have found a host of jobs, but they don’t come open for around another month. Heard nothing from ESRI, but do have an interview down in West Sussex (directly south of London) on Monday. I’m flying from Newcastle to Gatwick and back in one day. This job pays well, really well in fact as it includes a car, but ironically it’s one of the ones I fancy least when i read the job description. It’s for a GIS firm named Tenet (www.tenetsystems.co.uk), but the fact they throw a car into the mix makes me wonder if it involves a lot of driving. I’m in a dilemma because being at home with no money is horrible, but I don’t just want to do a ‘florida’ and take the first job that comes along and then realise it’s not what I want. I called about a job today in Cambridge and when i spoke to the person she said she went to Ohio Wesleyan and worked with Shorei Elhami of Delaware county until 1997, whom I know. That contact sounds promising and may lead to something. It sounds like a nice job, in a really nice place, but the money isn’t the best, which may sound shallow but it’s in such a swanky place you need good money.Anyway, I’ve heard NOTHING from Melanie…not a sausage. I have no idea if she’s at home crying that i‘m gone, or out fucking the football team. Wouldn’t surprise me if Jewboy is back on the scene. Like I said I wonder if sitting around here all day doesn’t cause me to ‘think too deeply’. If I do reminisce about the good old times I always try to remember that if I came back we’d just argue again. I need to keep busy and am doing some voluntary GIS for my Cousin. You know the record label owning one? He’s trying to open a ‘media centre’ in Sunderland (basically an office building for media related companies) but I’m doing some GIS to look at the neighbourhood around his site. Then he reckons other ‘media centres’ may be interested and I could make a name for myself doing it. I think he’s just flattering me to get some free info. If I do get another job, without a car, it’ll most likely be in another part of the country and so this gave me a plan. We all know how expensive it is to move, including van hire, U-haul etc. then after you move you often go buy friggin tables and stuff. Last night I saw a Daihatsui HiJet van for sale for £250, old as crap…but only a little one litre and cheap as hell to run. I thought I could buy one and own it for 6-8months to ferry crap around in. attached is a picture, see…not to big, not to small. Stupid, definitely, but cool as hell for moving and the dog too.

Went out with cousin Sarah and her fat friend Gemma the other night. We won the pub quiz and they took me to the ‘crappest nightclub in Europe’. Klute was the 2nd crappest, until the crappest one burnt down. Anyway Andy the Ohioan came out and met the local posh totty that comprises most of Durham students population. After a few nice pints of John Smiths best bitter for only £1.97 a pint and a late night cheese laden snack we walked to the cab-stand but on the way met some more rah-rah Durham students. You know the type….prince William lookers, with rugby shirts and their collars up, think they’re tougher than the local northerners because they have more money. Anyway, some prick called tarquin or Quentin or spencer or something started laying on the verbal, and pointed one too many fingers at my cousin Sarah. Being the true northern girl she is SHE went after HIM. Not really sure what he had in mind but I didn’t like the bastard anyway so intervened and kicked him in the balls fall wack! His friend in a nice pink rugby shirt came over and I told him he’d get the same if he didn’t take his friend home. I needn’t have worried as Sarah threw her bottle of coke off the tossers head just to get the message through. By now Durhams finest had seen enough on the CCTV and decided to role in with blue lights blazing. I was a little concerned here as I’d managed to calmly get some distance between myself and the pigs, but the called me back.

Anyway, long story short…they’d watched it all on the CCTV and blamed that initial pointing prick and told him so. He protested and told them so, and because he was being such a prick to them they cuffed his hands behind his back and carted him off ‘down town’ before ushering Sarah and I into a taxi (oh, and Gemma who’d leg it and hid round the corner). So final score: Northerners 1- 0 Southern Fairies.

Right. Off the watch Southampton vs. Newcastle. Need to win this one, Bobby has been getting some stick form the fans…..watch out for the white hankerchieves!

Andy

PS. Adam, where did you road trip to?

Call me a honkey

Can anyone understand what the hell Andy is saying in that first paragraph for the post titled "Don't...don't you love me?" or the rest of it for that matter?

I can't believe...

...that in Ericks top 10 list of things to do htis summer, I wasn't one of them. For Christ sake, Seth moving house gets a mention. And Jared beard gets a full f-ing week of pictures and attention. Then there is all this crap about how Erick can post pictures of himself now he's learned how to do it on lavalife.com. And Ed's little bit of homework. I'M ON ANOTHER F-ING CONTINENT YOU BASTARDS! Now make me feel special....

Don't...don't you love me?

....Sorry i haven't been blogging for a little while. I've been 're-al'. dealing with interviewers and posh rah-rah tarzans who have bad things to say about my cousin...then get kicked in the gentlemens resultantly. Erick, post the email to explain all to the others.
So, i've got several inteviews lined up.

An alter-american-ego who the ladieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees lurve!

An idea to buy a 'van', but remember this is europe...small equals sexy. so a small van then.

free governmental money for not having a job, but promising to look.

Lots of baby relatives who, for some reason, f-ing love me and think 'i'm really funny' (looking).

Nuts the size of brazil, but not near as lucky.

a blonde who sends me dirty emails from columbus. i think you all know who i mean.

a potential shibby hook up.

and finally, a long, long list of cool-as-you-like places to take the first american who arrives on my doorstep. seriously (no, seriously) who's coming and when?

Image Source...

Brad, for some reason the img src thing doesn't work for those geo-city pages. I originally tried to get the picture of ed from arizona for that happy prez message. I'll look into it a little more... its funky.

I got visuals...

Check it. If you download this little program called hello, you can post pictures to the blogg with ease. Or, if your a big baller like brad, then you can just set up a real deal website that you can post your shiz to. Anyway, ball on...

Mean Mugg'n 

Oops, Pow, Suprise!

OHHHH!
Did anyone else see that Chapelle show? It was a classic. WAYNE BRADY BITCH! Anyhoo, I am gonna be on sui-psycho, suicide watch tomorrow also. I've got a constitutional law exam coming from a teacher who eats liberals for breakfast. He's the type of guy who takes pride in being unabashedly politically INcorrect. Sorry about that crude statement about your mom, Jared. I don't know what got into me. But I sure would like to get into your mom. Now for my summer top 10 list.
1. Smoke a blunt w/ Bizzy Bone on E.99 and St. Clair.
2. Go to D.C. (I've never been)
3. Go to N.Y. (My buddy Greg just moved to Brooklyn)
4. Go to Niagra and Toronto.
5. Make it down to C-bus every weekend that I don't have plans.
6. Drink 3 40's in one sitting while watching CB-40. Best line from that movie, "Never met a piece of pussy that I didn't like, Like to eat it, Like to suck it, Take a shit in a Bucket! Straight Outta Locash!"
7. Get so drunk at an Indians game that the usher asks me to leave.
8. Get some good footage on camera from the Pig Roast. I'm talking facial montage.
9. Play a lot of basketball at parks in Columbus and Cleveland.
10. Bring some sticky on to a golf course and toke while I stroke.
I'm out like a boner in mesh shorts.
JHS

I'm drueling...

PSP

Keep it real, not too real.

Yes, truely altering. more so than Magic J? I'm glad you saw that. All ova ya face kid!

R.I.P. Eazy - E

The best part about Jared's page 8 is the reference to Eazy - E dying of AIDS... that was truly a life altering event.

"High" School

How did you find that website? Get a life, not and elife. It is pretty cool though. Look my first and last name and check out number 8. How many girls on this 1 page did I hook-up with?

High School

Just incase any of you missed looking at your high school pictures...you can look up anyone who went to Grandview at this website.

Check out picture # 16 under Erick...I don't know which is better, Erick playing the guitar, Ed with chocolate syrup all over him or Scott Talmage in a cheerleading uniform.

This post is from my

Whaz up...

Alright alright, after some late night emailing at the shisha shop I'm back in the confines of Staufs, blogging on the run. I just saw E-ron and her sister... Grabbing a quick cup of coffee and heading off into the sun. I really need to get a digital camera so I can post pictures along with the text... just for more visual pizaz. Without Further ado...

DEAL WITH IT

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Steve, Steve, I like your name! Father of Muff is 50 Today Call and harass him! 614-851-0700

****view Pub

Is the pub changing the first four letters to Fair... Are we still the International Gentlemen of Leisure? Would anyone like to make a contribution to the flight fund for Muff's return to the Pigroast? Where are the card invitations?

Shemale

I didn't get the email. Bobbie in Memphis forwarded to me but its got all the damn codeshizz in it. Just post it here.

Wanted:

Geordie boy with a US accent. Last seen carousing with British women, who amaizingly drink budweiser... whats up with that?

Ain't no party like a Geordie Party



Brad, I got the message... it worked perfectly.

Sound like fun...?

Bonnaroo

Self Absorbed...

Google Me


The best is the Denison score sheet... keeping that bench warm.

Keep'n it real...

What up everybody? I'm just pimping in Stauf's, watching people drop their jaws at the size of my laptop... boo yaa, just like Andy the Brit. Actually I think the screen might be a little too big, I'm prety sure people can easily read what I'm typeing right now from a distance. Anyhoo... keep it real, and fill me in on what ever crazy drinking stories come out of tomorrow night. Hey Brit boy... I don't suppose people celebrate cinco de mayo in England do they? Well if you get a chance, make your self a big frosty margarita and put a sombrero on. Actually, do you remember the cinco de mayo party at Don Pablos by the lennox? It was really a blur, but I think Joe was there along with Gorman... the only thing that's really clear in my mind was walking away with a couple cases of corona and a shit load of banners... mmmmmmmmmmmmm, banners!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Tah-kill-ya

I wish I could down some smooth agave liquor, but instead I get to slave over incredibly boring, dry black letter law. Yeah Woo! Corporate mergers, tender offers and proxy solicitations. I'll give you a tender solicitation... right down the back of your friggin throat! Speaking of shooting loads down throats, Jared, how is your mom doing?

Manana este Cinco De Mayo...

Tomorrow is one of my favorite drinking holidays. Hopefully it will be nice out and I'll be able to do a couple shots of tequila at some patio bar and throw down a few caronas. Let me know if you guys are going to participate in the fun... at the very least I'd like to inform some unsuspecting person walking their dog down the street by screaming... Happy Cinco De Mayo (with the thickest mexican accent I pull out of my ass).

P.S. Drop it like its HOT!!

Word... paintball was fun, I just remember running around shooting people and running out of breath... the fire fights got intense at times. Steve & I got about 10 feet apart from each other, each of us poking our guns out from behind a tree... it was great, just like something out of a cartoon. I think the best teammate I ever really had was Hooch, he would just pimp his way through the woods, bark at you, then sniff your balls.

Kuntry Bumpkins

Well the paintball wasn't that wet, but the bonfire got soggy at times. The flame kept roaring while everyone around it was getting wet. Especially these kuntry chicks that were getting really wet looking at my studly John Deere t-shirt. My brothers arms were bruised and blistered from the numerous bare skin paintball blasts he recieved. Steve is not real good at being "low-key" in the forest. He tends to walk straight up and doesn't really ever seem like he's in a rush. As far as a teammate, he's good for bait. The party that night was cool, probably around 20 people showed up. It definately got me in the mood for a slightly larger outdoor party that should be taking place on July 3rd this year. Word to ya mutha!
