with poker all of a sudden very "in", i think it is time to capitalize on this situation with a motion picture. granted, there have already been several poker type films, some fairly recently, but all would pale in comparison. some people know the legend of the [very smart] MIT students who won millions of dollars over a lengthy period of time by perfecting a 6 man (or something) team playing blackjack. i believe there might be a book about the whole thing too. this movie would be like rounders meets blow with a little oceans 11 for good measure. there is ample room for interlinking plots (policemen, the casino security, suspicious teachers, etc) and still plenty of room for all the nonsense college kids go through (and what they like to watch) girls, booze, drugs, etc. that go into your standard teen movie. it wouldnt be hard to slip a little love story in there if you wanted to either. any of the popular young and beautiful stars could be used in an 'oceans 11' type cast (lots of names). i can guarantee that this movie would be huge. sadly, someone with resources will beat me too it. or somebody who knows anything about making movies, and has resources. or someone who knows someone who knows anything about making movies and can find someone with resources. or some jerk who read this and stole my idea after hijacking a large shipment of high-end medieval artifacts to be sold at a huge profit on the black market. and not the one where you get cool guns and other illegal desirables. the other one. yeah, i know about the medieval artifacts. and both black markets.

welp, its nearly official: i will not be the next sports guy intern. in protest i wont provide a link to his page where the top 25 finalists have been announced with their essays posted. there was a kid from northeastern which i will unreasonably count as a victory for myself. we are a family after all. i was going to write the previous sentence incorporating northeasterns enrollment, but while searching for it i found something better.
here is a northeastern university "quick facts/parent guide". things of note: look at that impressive (and by impressive i mean its almost silly how weak it is) list of alumni. the only one of heard of is Egan, mostly because we named a building for him and our gym is named after the other guy who founded his company. also, it is my belief that the tuition cost is short about 5 grand. plus it goes up around 3 grand a year.

in conclusion, F-off Bill Simmons. i will still read your site everyday.

the kyoto protocol is now in full effect. its designed to reduce global warming mainly by setting limits of carbon dioxide discharge as well as other greenhouse gasses. around 140 countries have signed on and are complying with the new regulations .... the united states isnt. despite being the number one contributer to these gasses slowly killing all intelligent life (so they say), george bush maintained that we would not join the accord (we quit the kyoto accord right after bush became president in 2000) because "the changes would be too costly ....". but spending 4 billion a month for over the past 2 years on a war is not too costly? nice.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. this article is about the passing of one of the finest stripclubs in whiteriver junction, vermont. i spent many a one dollar bill at the ol' White River Amusement Pub (WRAP). then we usually drove drunk home. or to Hard Bodies. happy valentines day strippers.

nope. maybe tomorrow. the NHL sucks hog.

so as soon as i get to work i go into the lab to turn my tanks on. standard procedure. it turns out bernie already turned them on. sort of. he spent 10 minutes describing to me how he helped me out with this and now could i do an inorganics analysis for him, blah blah blah. normally i would have said ok, done it, and not thought anything of it ever again. however, its early, and i dont like people fucking with my tanks. especially since he didnt turn on the heaters (the tanks need to be kept at 75 F for good plating), put one of the dummy panels in backwards, and didnt turn one of the two rectifiers on. thanks a lot bernie. you just made my morning awful defucking what you did as well as doing your work.

after doing all of this, bernie came back from his meeting for another installment of "let me explain something at great length that you already know more about". i come back into the lab to see him fiddling with the rectifier controls. evidently, he wasnt satisfied that the ASF (amps per square foot) selected was adequate. after him babbling about something, i showed him the math, proving me correct, and had to restrain myself from telling him to never touch my tanks again, or atleast do something meaningful and correct.

there is only one person i know of who will read this understand it in its entirety. and i already told him about it. so, ben, what the fuck is with bernie anyway?

maybe ill write something later that other people care about.

not only must this taste like complete butthole, i bet it is really good for your stomach too. still, kudos to this stupid, stupid lady.

This guy got fined THIRTY-EIGHT dollars.

the facebook is now banned by the IT guys where i work.
