Family Finds Raw Meat Instead Of iPod Inside Sealed Box
This is possibly the worst ad campaign by the Meat Industry Association of America ever. Back in 2000, they dropped meat products from helicopters all over Manhattan, and last year, they put raw meat under every seat at the Super Bowl. This has to stop.

If they drew all of the Nebraska sideline players, it would look like a big, delicious plate of spaghetti.
“Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job” voted Dubya’s most memorable phrase of 2005
My fave was “Those who enter the country illegally violate the law”, but 2005 was kind of a slow year, compared to “Fool me once…” and other classics of the past.

Illinois basketball fans duped by really bogus tickets
Not only were there no seats listed on the tickets, but each had “Illinios” on there twice, and there are no seats in the arena even close to the $50 face value. As if it wasn’t bad enough watching your national runner-up turn into a practice squad in the off-season, you lose 50 bucks and don’t even get to see them play.
Best Names in College Basketball
Those are pretty good, but these are better.
I just upgraded to WordPress 2.0 and of the new features, I’ve disabled the rich editor, hacked the toolbar, and I’m trying to hack the new, horrible upload feature so that it actually works the way I want it to.
Basically, the new inline uploading is pissing everyone off, including me. It’s useless. Do not freaking upgrade. Arrggghhhh.

Swordplay
Knight 1: “I shalt verily chop off your noble head.”
Knight 2: “Wrong you are, good Sir, as I will feast upon your horse at supper tonight.”
Clubbing
Knight 1: “How doth thee fare today, Bill? How ’bout those Knicks?”
Knight 2: “My wench confesses that you slept in my bed last night! Die, mongrel!”
Flagging
Knight 1: “Hey, watch it, uh, I have a flag!”
Knight 2: “Very well, my sword will rend both your flag and gut, Frenchie!”
Screw It
Knight 1: “Ho! I propose that instead of murdering each other, we share a barrel of our King’s ale!”
Knight 2: “Righteous thou art, Sir. Drink, drink!”
You may not realize it, but the word “rondo” has a bunch of different meanings. Other than ma boy Rajon, I can’t explain why any of them use the word:

Rajon Rondo - we’d be lost without him.
Rondo chair - I really want this for my room
Rondo products - the Kombi 3k is awesome.
Steve Howe: Guitar Rondo - he sure is!
Rondo music - time to start some indie rondo hype

At Café la Maison this weekend, I ate an ungodly but delicious amount of:
Duck breasts, steak filets, snow crab claws, shrimp cocktail, clams casino, caviar, escargot, crabcakes, chicken caesar salad, couscous, green beans, bbq sandwiches, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, salsa omelette, hash browns, sausage, pecan pie and a turkey BLT. Not to mention the wine, beer, vodka and bourbon. Why am I still hungry?
Best… restaurant… ever…
