Just kidding...
...kinda
Owing to the fact that everyone who reads this blog will be off doing wonderfully exciting things over break I'm not going to post for the next week. Expect another post in 2-4 days when my resolve cracks.

Word of the Day: Galericulate
Galericulate (noun): a word completely unusable in normal conversation apart from the phrase "I got your galericulate right here!"
Drummers
I was greatly disturbed by Sandy's comment partaining to drummers on Karl's blog. To paraphrase: "I think drummers are steamy... ...though not steamier than Desmond Tutu," While I wholeheartedly agree that Desmond is a hottie, I have to say the impression of drummers as "steamy" is a bit of a crime against nature. Lemme s'plain:
Dave Grohl, Drummer for Nirvana
Kieth Moon, Drummer for The Who
Lars Ulrich, Drummer for Metallica
Marky Ramone, Drummer for The Ramones
Dave Lombardo, Drummer for Slayer
And Last, but certainly not least:
Joey Jordison, Drummer for Slipknot
In conclusion: though drummers may be the rythmic soul of the band, they certainly are not the eye candy of said groups. So there Sandy, I finally gave you a post of your own.
Kita, Drummer For Lordi

Kieth Moon, Drummer for The Who

Je Suis L'Etat
I would like to take this opportunity to formally announce my candidacy for the office of president of the SCA for the upcoming 2008-2009 school year. In addition to signing my petition for said office (do it before March 14th or I'm gonna pull a Giuliani) I would appreciate your support and advice in the months to come... ...and, if you give me twenty bucks, I'll name something in the school after you (i.e. the Russ Brooker Commemorative Spit Valve, the Mark Tueting Memorial Big Gulp, etc.)
In addition to oozing charisma, I intend to do the following in my term as class president
-Change the title of "President" to "High Inquisitor"
-Hold a dance to honor those forefathers of Democracy, the ancient Greeks (i.e. TOGA PARTY!)
-Give Mr. Swartz a raise
-Start a parkour team
-Establish a Model UN club
-Propose Flower Power as a homecoming theme (That's the 60's brand of flower power, not the girlie kind)
-Eliminate the "excused absence" maximum on the requirements for being a "renaissane kid"
-Book some decent acts to play the Renaissance Rallies (i.e. bands, martial artists, stuntmen, etc.)
-Hold all SCA meetings at The Little Grill
-Make Gaelic a foreign language elective
-Make German a foreign language elective
-Establish a permanent student directed musical to be performed during the spring
-Establish an official school mascot
-Bring Film Studies back as an elective
-Make all of your wildest dreams come true
In closing: Vote for me or bad things will happen
Viva La Revolucion!

Love Shack: The Mussolini Story
For your consideration:
Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why
several of us died of tuberculosis.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is
they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff,
then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What
was THAT?!"
The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
If you were a poor Indian with no weapons, and a bunch of conquistadors
came up to you and asked where the gold was, I don't think it would be a
good idea to say, "I swallowed it. So sue me."
If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger,
screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I
guess I'm a coward.
I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every
culture, is the story of Popeye.
What is it that makes a complete stranger dive into an icy river to save
a solid gold baby? Maybe we'll never know.
To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've
wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went
to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.
Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been
painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make
a child look like a deer.
If you're a horse, and someone gets on you, and falls off, and then gets
right back on you, I think you should buck him off right away.
If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe
you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey,
free dummy.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is
"God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to
tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
I wish a robot would get elected president. That way, when he came to
town, we could all take a shot at him and not feel too bad.
As the evening sky faded from a salmon color to a sort of flint gray, I
thought back to the salmon I caught that morning, and how gray he was,
and how I named him Flint.
If you're a young Mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it's real
embarrassing if someone tries to kill you.
