Misters Magoo and Lieberman

So, I promised Adam I would post this video explanation of why I like to refer to Lieberman as "Magoo." Let's begin with a brilliant illustration from Jon Stewart (in both vocal mimicry and content):



Now, compare that to a clip from a Mr. Magoo cartoon. You really only have to watch as much as you need to see the comparison. (I watched the whole thing, though, because I just can't get enough Mr. Magoo.)



I rest my case.

What?!

From the NYTimes.

I'm investing my money in a Delorean (and a Doc Brown) right not.

Did Obama seal the election 85 million years ago?

Maybe. This story is unbelievable. Turns out the late cretaceous period had lot to do with Obama winning North Carolina.

The Brolatollahs Geography Bee

Go here to play the game. Name as many countries as you can in five minutes, then post your score in the comments. Winner gets an HJ from Paddy.

I love this picture

That's Extreme!!

An article/video on BBC of dudes kayaking down a 300 foot spillway at a dam, seen above. Makes me want to drink lots of Mt. Dew and give high fives.

Two Reasons to Watch

So, the most recent Family Guy is the funniest one I've seen in a while, and I thought I would offer you all a little encouragement to watch (if you haven't already). Here are two reasons, one funny, one shocking (and funny):





Hope you all enjoy.

Scary Runways

Found this on CNN. It's pretty sweet. Check out slide 2. It involves low planes and a beach. F'in' nuts.

Creighton and Nebraska make the national news. Any news is good news, right?

By the way, I would never abandon Grawlix. I love him too much. (Sweet, Love Week.)

A New Day

Roy Helu puts an exclamation point on Hate Week 2008

So ends Hate Week. That was fun. Paddy has proposed a "Love Week" to cleanse our emotional palates. I'll let him explain what that means.

Go Big Red.

Looking for a gig?

Want to work in the Obama administration? Go here to fill out an application.

Be forewarned, though:

Some positions will require Senate confirmation while others will not.

Who wants to be Secretary of Defense?

(Kathleen Sebelius is hoping for an appointment to the Cabinet just to get the hell out of Kansas.)

Mmmmmmm...

I think I posted about this before, but now I have a recipe....

News Surfacing about McCain/Palin Problems

A Fox reporter says here that Palin didn't know africa is a continent. Apparently she couldn't name the countries of NAFTA either.

I heard KU doesn't think that Ndamukong Suh is a continent. But he is and he will eat Todd Reesing and Mangino.

Two Things I've been thinking about...

1. Young children and those born after last night will never know of a time when the US Presidency did not include an African-American. I can't wait to see how this improves race relations by the time those generations grow up. Truly a bright future.

2. One thing we learned at the very same time an African-American was marking his victory is that there is still a lot of discrimination present in our country. At least three states, including CA, supported propositions to withdraw rights from gay couples--that is, rights to adopt or marry. This is certainly a future hurdle to overcome.

(And maybe a third: 3. That although Lancaster Country, NE voted for Obama they are still going to have a tough weekend dealing with their football team's loss!)

Dancing Robots Will Rule Us All

I, for one, welcome our new Lou Bega-dancing robot overlords.



They're going to take over the Earth. Except Kansas. They'll want nothing to do with that Josh-hole.

"Women Germier Than Men, Study Finds"

The "Cootie Question" was apparently not explored in this study and remains open to question. I still think they have them.

This. Fucking. Election

A pretty cool visual representation of the last 18-24 months.

The last couple lines should read "Obama 326, McCain 212. Nebraska 45, KU 3."

Hate Week: A Proposal

Gentlemen. This Saturday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will meet the Kansas Jayhawks on the gridiron. Given that 3/5ths of our contributors hail from the Land of Osborne and the other two have been or are affiliated with KU, this cannot go unmentioned.

Hence, here is my proposal. In the interest of blinding tribal allegiances, I propose the next six days constitute "Hate Week 2008." What does that mean? Every post must reference the upcoming conflict in some way. For example, J's recent post entitled "Don't be stupid when you use Facebook" could end with some comment about how if you live in Nebraska and use Facebook stupidly, you might lose your job at the cow-rape factory. Similarly, my recent post, "What was it Emerson said?" could have ended with a comment about Kansas being the home of little minds and MASSIVE waist-bands. This is Hate Week.

That's my proposal. It is so moved. Anyone to second?

Yes, Baby Mangino?

Gurgle. Gurgle. Glagdemmm. SECOND! Gurgle.

Moved and seconded. All in favor of "Hate Week"?
