Thursday::

Count me in on Thursday, I am off on Friday and do not have to watch a stranger feel up, stab and poison my fiance for the first time in 8 weeks.

No dice on the movie tonight E.

Palindrome...

Just repeat it a few times... its a really cool word. Kinda like Roads, Rooads, Ro-adds...

So what's up with the Metallica movie... any takers?

It's showing tonight at the Lennox @ 7:50pm

I've got a wedding and some other events to attend to this weekend so that won't work for me... tomorrow is Dart Night... so hows'bout tonight?

Drop it like its Hot!

Feeling guilty...

I should be able to increase the amount of blogg I drop now that I've moved into my new place. I still don't have the internet set up yet, but it should happen sometime soon. Lately I've just been waiting for others to blog before I post anything... mostly because of the guilt I feel 'not working'. I know, that’s a bunch of crap and it only takes two seconds to drop some blog, but there's this strange feeling of 'responsibility' that has recently taken over during the past two months. Actually its more likely the looming deadline... lets not talk about that.

So what are people's plans for the week? How's about we get together, drink your choice of either

1) two forties of OE
2) a 12 pack of Busch / Beast Light

...and then go watch the Metallica Documentary? I think its our Duty to see the movie considering we would have gone opening night if Roger P. Gorman wasn't off in South East Asia educating future U.S. Graduate Students. Actually, now that I think about drinking a ton before going to a movie is probably a bad idea... but drinking during a movie is a good idea! I suggest everyone gets out their winter coats and pack them full of beers / flasks of whiskey and what have you. I just looked at the movie listings and it looks like the Lennox is the only theater in Columbus showing the movie (If it was at either the arena grand, Studio 35, or AMC Easton we could drink legally).

Hopefully I inspired someone with this rant... more than likely however you gave up reading this because you started laughing at some spelling miztake (intentional).

Call me if you think its worth the hangover.

Here's a hint: It's always worth the hangover!?!?!?!?!

Ramblin' Man

I Blog, therefore I am. We eat peices of sh*t like you for breakfast. You eat peices of sh*t for breakfast? Anywhoo, how's your portfolio lookin? I'd say strong to... very strong. Aliright, now this is gonna get weird, I need two angry dragons. Jackson, yeah he was into satan. He and I once smoked h*sh out of a human skull. Boredom is a son-of-a-b*tch.

Don't know what everyone's plans are but the Metallica Documentary is out... show times at Lennox.

What are you doing August 12th?

Check it out...

National Madden Vacation Day

Mad blog...

All right, let the recruiting begin. Who wants to help a brotha move? I've already got Brad and Traci lined up... anyone else in the mood? I'll be loading cars and unloading them at my new place this Sunday. I'm looking forward to getting into the new place so I can finally start a new Dynasty in NCAA 2005. Right now I've been riding on the coat tails of Alex & James's dynasty, and have helped them get the third best recruiting class one year, and the best recruiting class another year (Ed you had a hand in that class as well).

Anyhoo, I kinda took offence to Ed's... "you and me are the only ones who blogg anyway" comment so this is my blog... I know what your saying... "Damn his blog is BOLD". Here's a little more advertising for you... http://www.molsonusa.com/

I like beer and I love Molson... I look at it like Canadian Budweiser, you can't go wrong buying a Molson. Ed, I'm sure you'd put it more like this... "I like my beer like I like my women, sweet, frothy, and easy to pound."

RAW!!!

The Buckeyes are gonna be redonkulous this year.  Forgive me for jocking nuts, but Tressel is the MAN.  Checkout this rundown:

Easy Money

Anyone who has had problems with Paypal can join a class action suit.  Go to https://www.paypal.com/settlement/ for information, and to join the suit.  You might get a couple of bucks while the attorneys are pulling in a cool $3.3 mil.  Ahh... American Justice at its finest.

Mini-Bender

I can't say that my weekend was a full fledged "Bender" b/c it only lasted about two days.  But it definately classified as a mini-bender, heres why:  Before leaving I almost got jumped by a beggar at Panini's outside of Jacob's Field; within 1 hour of my arrival in C-bus I was officially "sh*t-canned"; going to bed Friday night (Saturday morning actually) I was sure I would puke and/or sh*t myself; playing yellow ball on saturday... toasty!; Barley's ribs and some good brew; random party in the Short North; my benderito ended on Feckety's couch, contacts glued to my eyes after 3 straight days without removal.  Next time I come down I'm gonna have a benderota, or in laymans terms a Hella-Bender.

coming to cleveland

Its my cousin's wedding.  She graduated from OU in 99.  I'm flying overnight on Friday, arriving in the morning Saturday.  The wedding etc. should take up most of the day.  I leave Sunday, mid-day.  I'll only be visiting Cleveland, so moving E.   We had Portland Brewer's festival this weekend.  Think of it as a premium, small-batch bender.
If anyone needs a place to stay this weekend, my place is available.  There's a partially covered corner in my back yard with a "pillow rock" that is really much softer than it sounds.  Just kidding, we have an extra futon and plenty o' couch space.  Nowa might be coming up too.  E and I may be heading to Apple Valley on Saturday though.  I need to confirm with Jim, but we had spoke of wakebizzoarding.

More details por favor...

Jared, I need some more details in regards to your Cleveland appearance. I'd like to make a trip up there to see ya, but I've got to move in to my new place this Sunday. What's the occasion? Is it work related? When are you getting in, how long are you staying, you feel like helping a brotha move? Do I need to buy tickets or set up a reservation to catch your appearance? Drop a little blog and fill us in.

Bloggers in the News

AKA this Saturday.

I'll be in Cleve-land next Saturday.

Regime Change...

Sounds like if your interested in learning about different cultures you should go to work with Joe for a day. My human interaction is limited to other people in my office who all seem to have a 'glazed' look in their eyes from staring at monitors all day. Anyhooch, I'm pumped for the weekend. More importantly Rick Flair, David Bowie and Rosie O'Donnel are no longer in control of the city... more news at 11:00.

alsdkhasldgh

Almost done with work for the week... JEAH DOGG!!!  I'm growing tired of doing applications for people with impossible to spell names.

I'll....

...be there a bit late.

Memory Lapse

I called the dude who has Ed's platic crack paraphenalia last night, but we wasn't picking up.  So Lobao, it looks like you are going to have to settle on playing with your "squadron" of techie teens.  Speaking of teens... I forget, who runs the city?  All I can remember is that Rick Flair, David Bowie and Rosie O'Donnel have something to do with it.

Choose or Lose...

I think this does a decent job of summarizing the two candidates... the south park guys would be proud.

Beerz

I can't tonight for obvious reasons.  I'm debating on coming down on Friday night though.  Saturday is for sure, I'll call yall.
Count me out... I've got to put in some hours... whats up with tomorrow, are we gonna go somewhere? Give me a call around 7:00.

Mmmmm Beer...

Two beers I like...

Coors, Molson to Merge

(That's F-ing teamwork!)

Kulture Shock

I went golfing yesterday evening in the congested, run-down, industrialized suburb that we know and love as Parma, Ohio.  Parmtucky is a "blue collar" town that is know for cellar dwelling on most economic growth studies.  Ridgeview golf course, located about 5 miles south of the worst highway in Ohio, 480, is conveniently located between a BP and a Taco Bell.  Arriving at the course I spotted several natives (Parmanians) with their standard mullet, T-shirt and jean shorts.  Parmanians are not just regular white trash, they are also racist white trash.  The saying in Parma is "We like our people like we like our socks:  White."  Anyways, the course wasn't that bad, but the players there were.  We tee'd off at about 6:30, played 9, and did not finish until about 10:30, honestly.  On the last hole your sense of hearing was more important when trying to locate your ball than was your sense of sight.  So to all of you who wish to travel and experience different culture, but just don't have the money to fly to far away lands, come to Parma, where the people are rude, and the manufacturing jobs are disapearing faster than straight Michael Jackson fans.

Snowball

Picking up Ed's plastic crack paraphenalia from his old place should not be a problem.  As for Eric Snow, he's way better than Ollie, and much more established than Kedrick.  His play is ugly and methodical at times, but he gets the job done.  Plus he's an athelete from MSU, so he must do drugs.  I mean, look at Stoner, Rogers and the Flintstones.  Those guys took more drugs in a week than the 2-1 Thugs did in a month.  Prices are sure to drop in Clevetuck once Snowball gets here.

Yea, about the trip... whatever we decide on it will probably be a last minute decision for me. I should probably get a couple of hours in at the office... the deadlines are looming. This just occurred to me... what if we invite ourselves down to Brad's Farm? It would be a quick simple get away... and maybe we can do a little slogging. Call me stupid/stubborn/mental, but provided that it doesn’t rain I think my jeep could make it through the Mayberger back-road.

Anyway, I'm up for whatever we come up with...

Joey- if you roll down do you think you could pick up Ed's PS2 network adapter & SOCOM game? As you know I am an obnoxious SOCOM addict who is currently going through withdrawal. As such I hope to set up a LAN game... where-by we network together as many PS2s as we can so we can play each other. I guess you'd have to coordinate with Ed, and who ever is living at Alex's place... Its just a shot in the dark.

Oh yea, one more thing Cleveland fans... you probably already know but the cavs traded Kevin Olie & Kedrick Brown for Eric Snow (Link Here). Erick Snow is just the kind of player Paul Silas loves... he plays defense and listens to the coach. I don't see why he and McInnis couldn't play at the same time, the way I see it the more ball handlers on the court could only take pressure off of lebron... its a lot harder to double the LeBron-sizzle when you've got two proven guards who can penetrate. Alright that’s my Basketball analysis for the day... back to analyzing flood plains

Roadtrip

Did someone mention a weekend roadtrip?  That sounds like a good time.  Let's consider my options.  I could sit around in Clevetucky with my thumb up my arse while I watch old Cops reruns, or we could go experience some true Deliverance shiz.  Hmmm...  I think I'll take the Ned Beatty arse plugging movie experience over another weekend in the most tortured sports city in the U.S.  And Eddy, you shore do have a purty mouth.

I'll go

Can I? please? can i go? please, please, please....
Anyway, you need to get those photo's of girls with my name written across their chests in pig grease onto the website before you do anything.
Erick are you definitely coming across for new years? Ed? anyone!

Tuesday, July 20, 2004

did i miss something:

ed why will you be out of commission the rest of the summer weekends?

Hopeless

Ed...  I learned early on that prayers don't work against video games. 

Count me in...

I'm down for a weekend getaway... considering this could be the last weekend you'll be available we'll have to get a little crazy with the ceremonial bottle of Makers Mark. I'm totally down with some sort of back kuntry get away... I hear West Virginia is especially backward this time of year (sarcasm). Do your thing and we'll figure something out, I can pack the car on Wednesday (speaking of Wednesday, don't forget double header scoom battle... ED!!!) and I'll be ready to roll on Friday around 5:30. Let it be known... the train to funky town will be roll'n out this Friday.

Helping Brad out:

Just thought I would post that little story to spark the creative jucies in brads brain to assist his daily/weekly posting responsibilities.

Senseless Political Post:

The Ant and The Grasshopper

 OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
 
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
 
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
 
The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green." Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake. Tom Daschle & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share."Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act," retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to payhis retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government. Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients. The ant loses the case. The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.  
 
 
MORAL OF THE STORY: Vote Rebublican

Swineless

Hello Children,
here i am wiping a sad little tear from my eye after viewing the Hogg Roast pictures. I feel like none of you love me anymore.....didn't what we have together mean anything to you? how can you just pretend we were never together!
Anyway, in order to make myself feel better i did what every self-respecting Hetro guy does....conumser electronics. Yes, thats right...gadgets. This weekend i purchased a brand spanky new Philip DVD Recorder for not £1000, not £600, not even the £450 i saw them going for on Ebay....but just £150 notes. FUCKING BARGAIN!
I also got £125 worth of designer clothes for just £25. watch out ladies!
Anyway, as this blogg is a permant record i demand E and anyone else jot down their intentions to come see me, most likely for New year.
do it. do it. do it.

Brazenhead

Thanks for the shout out E!  Starting around 8 tonight I will be downing my first captain and coke and if anyone has seen me on coke, it's quite a sight.  So if you wanna join in on the action, Brazenhead tonight around 8.  Cya there!

Pig roast in pictures...

Just so you know, Brad has updated the pig-roast web site with pictures from the 2004 festivities. There's a link on the left... always has, always will. Anyway if you or anyone you know (Jared Swingle included) have pictures you'd like to see posted either here or on the pig-roast web site I suggest you mail them to the founders at ohiopigroast @ yahoo.com... the spaces are there to prevent web-site skiming applications from bombarding that address with spam, but anyhoo. Jared I'm looking in your direction... funny-like.


Belated B-Day Shout out...

Happy Birthday Traci (even though it was yesterday). Doe's this make up for the card?

Friday love...

Is it just me or is this summer flying by? I need to go back and find my top ten list for the summer and see what I have accomplished. Alex and I did some good work on a new batch of summer songs, but everything has been put on hold now that I'm staying with Traci. I think everyone knows this, but I'm getting my own place and it opens up on August first. Until then my stuff is hanging out in Witten's Garage / spare room and I'm staying with my laptop, laundry basket, and acoustic guitar at Traci's. Anyway, once I move in the remaining summer tracks will be laid down. In other news the new College football game came out and I can't wait to spend four hours with it this weekend... mmmmm virtual Buckeye Glory!!!!

Also I just noticed that there's an option to allow comments to be added to posts. I tried to add the commenting ability earlier, and I guess we'll still have to see how it works, but it should make the blog a little more logical / easy to read in that you can respond to someone’s post rather than add a new post... I think I'm talking in circles. Oh yea, don't forget an important aspect of the blog is that its a digital / permanent archive... so what goes into the blog will be in the blog... so rather than adding quotes to a quote book or lawg, you can add them here. For example this is a recent classic from Ed... let me see if I can get it right...

"Brad. I'm leaving you for someone else. -Second Sandwich"

I probably didn't get that right or do it justice, and I guess you had to be there or read it to believe it.

Also August 10th John Frusciante will be releasing another Album.

Pictures...

As I don't have a digital camera I will try to scan some pig-roast pictures this weekend and get them up on the blog at the very least. I'm sure Brads been busy eating pork loin sandwiches... but maybe this weekend you can update the web-site with pictures?

Also a ppg (post pig-roast) email should probably be floated around that mentions survivor party (Saturday @ Hen Docs) and requests pictures (especially crude and lude pictures) be emailed to The Founders @ Ohiopigroast.com I'd like to see how other people experienced the pig-roast... maybe next year I'll strap a camera to my head so I'll be able to fully document what happened.

Anyhooch keep real and drop some Friday Blogg. Jared, how's the new job? Brit Boy, hows the blighty? Did you get that new Flat... got pictures?

The Roast With the Most...

Hats off to everyone who made the 2004 Pig-roast what it was, an exercise in total excess. Too much, sun, food, sitting, beer, music, pool, dancing, limbo, general debauchery, and Jared.

Yes Jared's punk ass made it to the pig-roast, with big-Swingle in tow. It was an incredible entrance and really put a good-vibe on the entire roast... although he should have gotten there Friday night, but we'll let that slide.

Anyway, I'm sure everyone has their own stories / interpretations of what went down at the roast. Most of mine are blurred due to lack of sleep and excessive alcohol, but they'll come over time. In general I felt this roast was a little less agro compared to last years, and turning off the flood light made a big difference. However I was kinda disappointed that more of 'our' friends didn't make it. It felt like there were fewer people that I knew and more younger people / friends of friends.

Internet Explorer Bad...

Alright, the department of homeland security recommends that people switch browsers.

Do it for your Country!! What aren't you Patriotic?!?!?!?!?!?!

Yahoo News U.S. Steers Consumers Away From IE

Don't worry...

I'm planning on putting together a 'media kit' for those of you unable to attend the pig roast. It may take a week or two to put the whole thing together, but once you & Jared receive it you'll be able to celebrate the pig-roast on your own.

What will be included in the media kit you ask?

-A vacuum sealed / freeze dried plate of food
-A Cd containing mixed media (audio / video / pictures / customized code that forces your web-browser to only view the pig-roast web page)
-One of Ed's soiled socks
-1 quart of left over pool water

You'll be able to watch, eat, smell, feel, & listen to the pig-roast. Its as close as you'll get to being there in 2004

Keep it real yall!

Aw, Shucks...

...You shouldn't have. It's so nice to know you haven't forgotten me here on my soggy little island. I walked into work today and guess what is sitting outside my office? A car with a huge-ass hogg smoking trailer attahced to the back! I shit you not! It's outside right now! How freaky is that! I'm going to try to get a picture! The hogg lord works in mysterious ways. Now remember I want flesh laden pictures, whether hogg flesh or chick flesh...but no hoggy chick flesh! Damn I'm jealous!

Long lost brother...?

What about fiesta boy... is he gonna make it down there? As long as Seth's drill is there we can give birth to Fiesta boy. I'll be heading down tomorrow afternoon after work, probably 5:00pm. I think Alex is going down around the same time he's gonna serve as 'brake man', behind the 6'x9' grill.

Oh yea here's my last minute check list of things to bring... and things not to bring...

BRING:
1) Leather g-string for pool
2) Video camera equipped with night vision (to capture all of the freaknes that goes down after dark)
3) Desire to break all personal drinking records
4) Will to party hard for 48 - 72 hours straight


Leave Behind:
1) Sobriety
2) Morals
3) Fear of eating food handled by Ed and his general cleanliness
4) Watch / time keeping device (time means nothing at the pig-roast)

hogging in the rain.

Looks like we may get to do a little hogging in the rain this year.

Swelling...

My balls are swelling with anticipation. The roast is so close. Last night when I went to bed I could smell the Pig roasting... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Monday, June 28, 2004

Amazing

You don't care. But I do.

Deserved!

Wild, Wild West Posted by Hello

Coffee & blog...

go together like Pig & Brad's farm. I am once again inside the comfortable confines of Stauf's coffee Haus, marinating on a Organic Peru French roasted coffee and typing away to the blog. Yesterday the 'grounds crew' went to work on the pig-roast property, mowing, trimming, whacking, chopping, loping, sawing, drilling, and chilling. The place looks spectacular, all its missing is a 300 lb hog, ~30 kegs of beer, 300 of our closest friends, and 300 or so 'other chemicals' known to give you a good time.

Perhaps the most important addition / renovation involved the out-house, where a 'stack' was added in hopes of venting the stench of poo out of the structure and into the air. Let me tell you, it works... after jumping up on top and screwing down the cap, I got a first hand wiff of it in action.

Anyway, below you should see a picture from the camping trip in the Grand Canyon. I'm not sure if everyone's seen it... but it does a good job of summarizing the down time we had in the canyon... what a trip.

I quit

Well this is my last day at this wonderful boiler room. If there is anyone else out there that feels like you don't want to work where you work, then don't. Quitting is nice. I highly recommend it.

More reasons to switch browsers...

I don't want to sound preachy or overly paranoid... but I don't like IE. This article points out some new findings that large corporate web sites, even some banks that have been infected and pass on adware and spam-ware. Anyway this article's interesting, they mention organized crime groups in Russia as the probable source / creators of these problems because the code is custom and complex.

I can see it now... HBO will create a new series 'The Dashevski's'. It will follow the lives of a Russian mob family and their well trained / well paid team of computer geeks that work out of the back room of a strip club, drink vodka, and hire goons who wield AK-47s... maybe I should try to get a development deal.

BACON**

BACON & SAUSAGE **BACON VERY IMPORTANT THAT BACON BE AVAILABLE AT EVERY MEAL AND DURING DAY -Metallica catering rider, March 2004.

To answer Brad's question; a company that deals with individuals that need to be reached outside of work, because they need to give their attention to me and not be fuckin around on the internet at work like us.

My IE2

MY IE2 is another browser. I think its actually some version of the original IE but on crack like mozilla. It never actually mentions Microsoft either? www.myie2.com

This Pigroast is a done deal. Its about as poor timing to start a new job as I've ever seen. Saturday (OPR)is my first work day out of training. I don't even want to write more about it. FUCK

John saved me.

Tony Danza is my hero...

Man, I love the google adds. Did you notice yesterday they had search links for burt reynolds & Catherine Bach? I was hoping they'd give Tony D some love. Anyway all is well in flood plain land... in a month or two I may need some reconstructive eye surgery, due to staring at a monitor for umpteen hours a day. It's really kinda scary when you consider I spend all day in front of a monitor, get home and do my own personal work on a computer, and or watch some tv / play video games. Actually yea, I spend more time in front of a monitor than I do sleeping... but hey its who I am, what I do, and what I like.

Oh yea, thanks for the John Frusciante reminder... a couple of months ago it was on my list of CDs to buy. Also I got the new Beastie Boy's album and its O.k. Basically its not really ground-breaking. Its just classic old school beastie beats with a little more politicized lyrics. There are no instrumental tracks, and I don't think they really wrote any of the music... I downloaded it from I-tunes so I haven't really read the album cover or anything so I'm not 100% sure, but each song is basically beat, rhymes, repeat chorus... they're all about 3 minutes and follow that structure. Don't get me wrong its still a good album, just not on the level of hello nasty, or check your head.

In other news, seems like Ed's been MIA from the blogg for a while... just like I've been somewhat MIA from the socom world. Since the weathers been nice I've been neglecting my clan-leader duties... like you guys care.

Jared: Are you gonna make it?

Brit-boy: Two ways to post a photo...

1) Add a link that points directly to an image stored on a web-page. Essentially the blog 'skims' the image from another site, so the image is not stored in the blog. This is kinda dependent on the web-page your linking to... i.e. I tried to post stuff from brad's geo-cities site, but it didn't really allow it. However, posting images from ohiopigroast.com does work... I think because its a separately managed / stand alone site.

Blogger help


2) Download Hello Blogger bot. This is a separate application you download and run on your local machine. Its kind of an IM / picture sharing program... but it lets you post pictures to the blog. I'm pretty sure it requires yet another username and password... here's a help link from bloger where you can learn and download....
Blogger Knowledge


One more thing... I've started using mozilla Firefox... its the 'next-gen' browser from mozilla and I love it. It's really stream-lined (4.7mb download), it incorporates tabed browsing (best part is multiple home pages/tabs), integrated google toolbar, popup blocker, less security issues, and it basically works like IE The only thing I've had issues with is viewing .PDFs... I've actually got an older release so maybe they've fixed it. Anyway its a quick download, once you start using it you'll like it, its not microsoft, and its nice to have a second browser... tabed browsing is the greatest thing since sliced bread...

This might be the longest blogg on record... DEAL WITH IT.

how do you...

...insert a picture into a post?

The Magic Of Castle + Beer + T-Bell

Don't forget the 7-layer you threw down first, i am sure that is not helping .

What does this all spell out? A recipe for disaster.

Magic of the castle...

It's truly amazing what two white castles and a few beers can do to your stomach... I'm sitting here in my cubicle marinating in castle stench. I think the FDA needs to take a closer look at white castle, heck maybe even the military could get involved, I'm sure this gas could be used as a weapon of mass destruction.

Anyway, brit boy you'll be here in spirit and I'll try to burn you a CD of pig-roast pictures, and maybe even some audio tracks if Jared comes with his little mp3 dealy. Also there's a good chance I'll be able to take a trip to England, maybe around new years... I gotta see uncle bobby, eat a meat pie, and walk accros the Tyne bridge.

...Damn castles tear me up, why does it last sooooooo long?

Touching (the pig)

My God Brad! That was beautiful, I had no idea you we capable of such an eloquent expression of sincere emotion. I just thought you were this friend of Ericks with an uncontrollable urge to watch every Burt Reynolds movie ever made….on DVD of course. Nor did I realize just how much I meant to you either. Brad I love you!
Jared! You sicken me! Here I am with a tear in my eye merely as a result of reminiscing about Hogg Roast I; The birth of Gristle. Take it from someone speaking from experience of being so incredibly stupid as the miss Hogg Roast II; Grilling the Rebirth.
Jared Mate, no more emotional headlocks, just sincere honesty; I wish to fucking god I could go. I wish to fucking god I could see everyone again, get way past the POV within minutes of rolling up to the farm, watch nearly naked girls jiggle infront of me, eat as much as i want when I want, drink more than i want when Ed tells me too, enjoy the hippy TV until the sun comes up, and leave a lasting mark in the outhouse.
As someone who has begun a new job this week I hope you pay attention to my words. I understand the desire to create a good impression in your first week at work, I've done it this week. But I still went over to a mates house to watch the England vs France game on the Sunday before i began work; and got very high and drunk. And although not ideal preperation for a new job, E and Brad are right. You can sleep it off while travelling back using the extra time accrued flying West. You've done it before, battled through a hangover, we know you're capable of it. If you do go, never forget how I wish i was there. I want you to take an obscene amount of obscene photo's, touch as much female flesh as possible and I will try some transendendal meditation to assume control of your body. I got some nice weed this week and it should help me achieve a higher state of being. Please Jared....Please. For the Brit.

Working on it

Rock-
Your previous words were quite compelling as well. I have new HR working on it with my soon-to-be and undertermined supervisor whether I work that Saturday or not. This is under the guise of a "family" reunion, so I didn't envite her. She thinks something can be arranged. Then again, its not really her decision. Hang on...
I second Brad's emotion.

update

nothing has changed, but believe me, that worked. I'm working on it...damn!

RATE MY RACK

NEW ADS!!!!! Ribs or tits?

You can do it...

Common man, you can make it to the pig roast... and here's why

-You don't want to miss the 'Jared-palooza' esque atmosphere, with all of your friends introducing you to hot available women as Mr. Muffin.
-You'll only be missing one day of work.
-Its a holiday weekend anyway... so presumably two or three of the 400 hundred people at your new job will choose to make it a 4 day weekend as well.
-You already paid for your ticket, so you'll have to pay... what like $100 in order to use it for some other trip (assuming its an e-ticket).
-The pig-roast was there for you before your new job and it will be there long after your new job.
-You've got a pair.
-When / where else will you have the opportunity to bear-hug a pig carcass?
-mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Bacon
-What? You'd rather be making me a turkey sandwich?


Congrats on the new Job by the way, sounds cool... That goes for you too BritBoy... you're excused because your on another Continent, although your still on the 'people I've lost all respect for' list (just kidding).

Actually, this may be a good blogg topic... or a good way to start of the Video question and answer period that Nate-Dogg and I need to do... bring your camera Joey and charge the battery.

What does the pigroast mean to you?

I'd like some feedback on this so Jared can get his priorities straight.

Missing Jared

And they will not give you the day off?

Big brother is watching your dry bathing suit region

Bad News/good news.
First sad to say, looks like no Pig Roast for me :(
Yesterday I had a job interview and they gave me the job right there. Its college admissions at AIU online. The largest university network in the world. They are based in Chi-town and are currently opening an office of 400 people here. Its a fitting career upgrade for me and has much more opportunity for growth, which was already highlighted in my interview. Apparently they were looking for a bunch of people exactly like me. Its a heluva raise too. I asked for it all.(insert sinister laugh)

Will work for Free Lube

Hey Kids,
I'm officially blogging you all for the first time from my new job. I'm just now about to go meet the fluffer girl and then get on set with a big one that's ready to go. After I've had a cup of tea of course.

Lube-a-rific

Well, looks like the google gods finally picked up on our need for personal lubricant... I haven't clicked on the link yet, but I'm sure its slick.

Rank

Whooo-boy, that pic is on the level with the old granny pictures... Definitely rate my poo.com material. Anyway, looks like Brad is having a good day... all good days start with whiskey and end with tequila (I'll supply some shots tonight). I thought I had more to say, but my brain is fried from staring at flood plains all day.

Bad taste

was that a tampon string in the mix there? that is just SICK! bitches are nasty. thats why Erick never touches them.
I promise to take pictures of my little Manck-chester get together, if you promise to take pictures of Traci in her bikini....hi Traci!
I had a night out with my 'new' friends last night and visisted some swanky ass bars in Newcastle that never existed when I was a youngin'.
I know most of you are pre-occupied with pork-filled thoughts right now, but I'd seriously love it if you all got your arses together and came up with a plan to come over here. Now do it!

Me love internet

I just wake up everyday and say, "I'm so glad I have the internet to keep me company and eat my time like brad eats mayonaise."
Maybe this will be a positive contribution: Bands to listen to...

Radio 4- from NYC, kickin ass rock with good percussion, bass, guitar and vocals, oh wait...
Ambulance LTD- also NYC, but real, real good for those Tom petty fans.
Quasi-two portlandites with a piano and drums...proof that 2 can share 1 brain.
!!!- You can call it Chk-chk-chk, pow-pow-pow, uh-uh-uh...etc. whatever you call 'em, listen to it.
Jr. Private Detective- Hey, they started from Chillicothe and they have 2 hotties-I think one's from Worthington. They're based here now.

Suck on that.

Lube with a view...

Man that Panda is crazy... if you get one you gota go for the sun roof, that way you can pull Dukes of Hazard-esque entries. Also I didn't look at their color schemes, but you should get one that's banana yellow... It'll look off the wall. I'm sure we'll come up with some creative pig-roast pictures in memory of you. You need to take some pictures from your Manchester roast so we can compare (I'm sure ours is bigger, and size does matter). What ever happened to your little euro tent from walmart? That thing was flaming, yet you somehow managed to pull it off... I just remember thinking it looked a lot like a mini circus tent. Anyway, I'm surprised the google gods haven't noticed our love lubricant here... Maybe their more into things like MOUNTAIN BIKES or JELLY DONUTS.

Alright... once again, hows about some weekend shout-outs... What's everyone got planned for the weekend? I will probably make up for not drinking at all during the week, by consuming a boat-load of alcohol and maybe a few jelly doughnuts (thought I'd throw in a variation). Actually its been a while since I've been to Alum Creek for some Mountain Biking so maybe I'll do that... after that I'll make that web-site, make a new cd... put off everything on my top ten list.

More lubricant please, I'm british

A trip to Spain would be very nice, you're right. But it would be bloody useless to watch any of the European Championship games that are being held in PORTUGAL. What's that Masters degree of yours in again?
Anyway, i want lot's of hog pictures taken, with references to me. for example my name written in pig grease across some hot chicks chest. I myself am attending a small scale bbq in Manck-chester with a bunch of old mates from undergrad, so will be there in hog-spirit with you.
Finally i went at looked at some more funny, small euro cars. In fact not just any euro car, but THE euro car. I test drove the new Fiat Panda, named european small car of the year.

Quirky little Euro car of the year

Cedar Point? / Lake House / Lubricant

This just came to me... what about a trip to Cedar Point this Saturday? Any takers? If that doesn't happen maybe we could invite ourselves over to Jimmy's Lake House for some fun in the sun. Brit boy, are you going to any of the Euro games? I'm sure a trip to Spain would be nice... oh yea, how's the job, have you started at your new place yet?

J-rod... the pig roast will be sweet, what's up with leaving on Sunday though... I think a bunch of us were planning to stay down in logan that night.

The next two lines (and the last part of my title) are meant for the google adds... do you see the guitar stuff and the piano chords / bob dylan chords?

See you soon.

Last week I met Phil Knight's personal pilot. For those of you who don't know, That's Nike's CEO. His pilot is a Buckeye. Needless to say, he wouldn't give me a ride to the pigroast. P.Diddy couldn't give me a ride either. So, I had to go commercial.

Traci, if you truely loved him you would book him a ticket to britain to visit his bestest mate in time for the grand kickoff of Euro 2004. Doesn't have to be first class, I leave that up to you to decide the monetary cost of your feelings for the man you 'claim' to love.

Any cool ideas for Erick's birthday this weekend?

Beach Day...

Today was a great day. The weather was perfect, similar to the Pacific Coast... the sun was out and the wind was cool. At the beach we played a kinda hung-over style volley ball game... threw the frisbee, grabbed a margarita at a beach bar and listened to some old dead-heads play Monkeys Covers. After a quick train ride we're back and waiting for our Chicago style pizza... mmmm. Oh yea I've had three Chicago-doggs as well.

Also this is interesting... do you ever notice the add-links shown at the top of the blogg. Their placed there 'dynamical'... they are targeted adds. Get used to it... its kinda interesting to see what they think we'll buy.

Only Joking...

...But i do have a real home movie for you. No superstar Soccer player buddies of mine in this one. Check it out

Andy & Mates play footy in the street

Sweet Home Chicago...

Hello all. I just woke up on Big Nate's couch and considering we were up till 5:00am I feel amazingly well. The bars here are pretty amazing, they've got to be some of the best in the US. Anyway, I don't have a guitar with me and I don't really know the chords to sometimes by hand... but it is a three chord pop song so I'm sure you can pick it up. Anyhooch, I'm glad you've got the Euro's to look forward to... Once the NBA play-offs are over there's not a whole lot to watch sports wise. Anyway, which guy were you? I recognized your friend bodger... but I wasn't sure who you were in those movies. Alright drop it like its hot... PEACE!

Home movie

Went to the park and played some footy with me mates. click the link below and then hit "Watch the Movie"...

Chords/Tabs...

....may i please be the first to request a formal set of tableture for the song 'sometimes' on your first astounding release. I'm going to buy myself a cheapo guitar, of course it will never live up to the 'Carlos Robelli' i aquired from Sam Ash, but hey....

Jimmy is a fag

only fag's have lake houses and only fag's go to them. A nice semi-detached brick built in soaking wet blighty is what makes you a REAL man! I spend hours staring out into the grey, looming clouds pondering macho things that water-skiing just doesn't allow time to reflect upon...you poor bastards, i feel so sorry for you.
Anyway, I upped my bling levels the other day by aquiring a sleek new siemans sl55 sliding phone. apprently they's the new phone to be seen with according to pat o'brian. Also i am, on a daily basis, becoming mor and more aroused by the fact that we are now just 10 days away from Kick off of the European Championship in Portugal. Of course i'll be here, reporting every game live from the pub and informing you of just how good the England boys are, as well as how many birds we manage to have a positive influence on with the phrase "get yer tits out luv!".

Jim's Lake House...

is cool. Jim's lake house is sweet. It's like a 5 level split level house... similar to Bartlet's old house in Maryland / Virginia, except for the big ass deck on the back, the lake in the back, and the two story dock with launch door. They've got a really cool boat with a killer sound system that you can listen to while water skiing some 50 ft behind the boat. Anyhoo, I know Ed just found his second home for the summer.

was it Reggie Miller?

Just kidding, I knew the answer was that or anybody else on that sorry team. Did you hear that Miller is going to be traded to the Lakers? He is going to follow the league losers and join a winning team so he won't die a loser. Wait, he will anyway.

PS I love pigfat.
