SORRY....

This is crazy, how is it that a manager of a professional sports team can simply apologize for cocaine use, COCAINE use. Tiger cheats with 38 women, Charlie Sheen puts a knife to his wife's throat, but they apologized and will get counseling and it will all be better.....


We may need to press the reset button soon and start the human race over.

Check out this sweet stressless chair. I thought some of you guys might be in the market for one. This commerical will be coming soon to television sets in Houston.

Hey Brent Lubahn

Come Visit Costa Rica

We don't bite.

For those that don't know my house has been for sale for a little over a month and we will be moving back to the Land of 10,000 lakes. As of today we have a closing date of 4/15 with a departure date of 4/18.

Both Melissa and I would like to see everyone before we depart if at all possible. She is planning a gathering the night of 3/27, but I wanted to get some discussion going within the IC to see if we could get together.


Thoughts?

i struggle with existence.

happy monday.

IC Olympiad comes to unforgettable close

It's all said and done here in Vancouver and, as we look back at the two weeks that were, we recap the unforgettable instances from the events and competitors that left an indelible mark on the Winter Olympiad. The games may never be the same.

For me, it was the biathlon competition that continues to swim in my mind. It's actually caused me some sleepless nights of late.

Representing the province of Round RockHard, Marc "the marksman" Miller will forever be remembered for bringing the obscure sport of the biathlon into the international eye. On race day, despite torrential snowfall Miller elected to wear only an unzipped olive fleece, rose colored shorts, wayfarer sunglasses and his skis. Wielding his favorite rifle on his back, Miller started slow before reverting to a series of somewhat unsportsmanlike tactics to advance in the group. In eighth place, Miller moved into 7th by stabbing a Slovakian skiier in the calf with his skipole. He moved into sixth after causing a Polish skier to dry-heave when he blew what he later called his "intergalactic lactic burp" into the Pole's face, and into fourth by "coconut-ing" the heads of a Canadian and Finish skier. With only 500 meters remaining, Miller and crew stopped to fire at the targets. After scoring direct hits on the first two targets, Miller's third shot richocheted off the top of the target and struck the wife of the third place Russian skiier in the vagina. She screamed for her husband who pulled himself from the competition to attend to his ailing wife. Interestingly, it was Miller's first miss of the competition and it appeared he said "oops" and smirked when he heard the shout of the woman.

Now in medal contention, Miller neared the first two competitors as they raced for the finish line. Miller then reached into his fleece and withdrew an empty bottle of green tea. Miller burped into the bottle and added tin foil before capping it. A la MarioKart, Miller then lobbed the bottle in the path of the Swede and Norwegian. The bottle burst and a brownish haze rose into the air, causing both skiiers and 18 audience members to collapse into the snow. Miller, hands held high in triumph, skiied across the finish line, where he removed his fleece and cackled laughed. In a post race interview where he was questioned on the fairness of his victory, Miller responded to the question with a question of his own. "Does quiefing hurt?" Stunned, the reporter did not respond. Miller then answered, "Neither does winning." Later that night in the Olympic Village, Miller reportedly slapped a Mountie with his gold medal and pissed on Apollo Ohno's dormroom door.

this is probably the fastest mock up, and comedy after sketch, in... like... ev...... er. where do they find these actors? i mean seriously.

adub-- are these guys from your chigacocacarican improv group? i love the 3rd world, or is it 3rd ward? either way, do what the president does and hope.

FACTS: don't worry i am jaques clouseau.

culprit: tom. possible alias.

last observed: leaving city-transit after taking part in municipal assault of native negro americanoid.

possible/known aliases and-or call-sign: slicknamtom.

that's really all i can think of this fellow, as far as partially witty nicknames go. his beard is way cooler than mine.

he's likely a jarhead, or stinted san quentin (go where you want with those)--the recently shut down bay area joint.

mind you this all occurred in oakland.

i'd love to hear comments about tom's little episode at the end, about mama.

there will likely be a rematch for money, televised. and then orgies and cocaine for nam-tom.

tom-tom to endorse amid overnight stardom--in other news.

tangent to this nonsense: if you can pull off bitch-slapping someone today, and, i mean, they really gotta deserve it, try not to think twice. it is thursday after all. but seriously, it can't just be any arbitrary beating of the chest and monkey peacockery. and she better be able to take a smackin' to too.

toodles... kisses,

marcus aurelius

p.s. my life life is cooler than y'alls... neener neener neener. don't worry, bad karma will strike any moment now.

The IC Winter Olympiad

Ten days into the XXI Olympiad and, as the magic of the winter games would have it, we have seen a myriad of stories thus far from Vancouver. There have been moments of triumph, moments of pain. Moments heartwarming, moments heartbreaking. And, as always, mixed into it all, we've seen a splash of the bizarre and a dash things downright inexplicable.

Let's recap. 

Starting off in the two-man bobsled, Weiss & Bear, the upstart kids representing the separatist nation of San Anton, proved that proper guidance pays dividends. Coached by Gino, 6-time summer and winter games Gold medalist, and Ginger, known as the "bobsled whisperer", the San Anton duo took Bronze over the weekend. Through 3-quarters of the race, the duo held a World Record time, though fell to 3rd when Weiss showed Kevin a Sean Elliott highlight video he uploaded on his Iphone. The distracted duo slammed into the barrier, flipped, and violently jostled across the finish line. During the awards ceremony, trainer Gino showed his disappointment by shitting on Brian's New Balances during the San Anton national anthem, which is a 12-minute chant of "Go Spurs Go!". President David Robinson was not impressed.

In the Luge, the Gold Medal was stripped by AusTexndian speedster Matthew Chambers when it was learned his Luge had four-wheel drive, glass packs and room for 19 people. Upon his disqualification, Chambers played the heart strings of the judges when he unearthed his son Luke (pronounced "Luge") from within his 4x4 apparatus. Chambers was quoted as saying, "As a kangaroo to a joey, I carry he with me always." Though not awarded a medal, the anthem of AusTexndian was played in honor of the proud father. The AusTexndian anthem consists of gun shots, deers screaming, Charley Daniels and Ice Cube.

The Ice Dancing competition is the one event that has created the most buzz this week, as we saw the first attempted murder in Olympiad history. Representing the little nation of "Love fUK", a British isle, Adam Faust, known as Fairy Blood, wowed the crowd with his display of angry acrobatics, as he screamed while fluttering through the air doing a triple lutz, and appeared to cry on two occasions during the 3-minute routine. Faust's stirring performance wowed the crowd, but judge Brian Boitano stripped him of a half point for his cacophonous shout of "Queer Scabs!" as his routine came to a close. The point adjustment, which dropped Faust to 4th, was learned by Faust as he worked out on his Ab-Roller after the routine. Smiling, Faust approached Boitano with the Ab-Roller and began hammering the 5'2'' Boitano, savagely yelling, "Now who is the Queer scab?! Now who is the Queer Scab?!" Faust has been removed from all official Olympic records and his performance here is never to be rebroadcast again.

In the speed skating competition, former freestyle walking ace Lee Portillo, representing Chile (the dog, not the country), generated some controversy this week as, in a perceived strategic manuever, chose to wear an all-white skating jersey, which matched both his skin tone and the color of the ice. During his first heat, all that could be seen of Portillo was his 5 oclock shadow and the black Puma emblems of his skates. Using this invisible-man esque appearance, "stubble" as he was referred to by announcers, became somewhat of a Vancouver sensation, as fans around the Olympic village have attempted to emulate his skin-matching chameleonic wardrobe. After crushing the competition through the first several rounds, "Stubble" added to his lore by showing up to Finals with only one skate. When asked where his other skate was, Portillo answered, "Uhhhhh, maybe in my car. Don't know." Without his needed skate and wearing only stained blue jeans, Stubble wasn't much of threat in the finals, finishing 8th at a time of 2 hours and 18 minutes.

The first snowboarder from Central America may have actually caused his country more disappointment than pride, as Adam Williams of Costa Rica had what Al Michaels, in his typical quotable way, referred to as "The most unforgettably forgettable performance in Winter Games history". Racing against 4 other competitors, Williams halted the start of the race when it was learned the track was of "Blue" moutain status. Williams, who says he only does "like really short Green hills", actually took off his snowboard in protest and walked the track, throwing snow at competitors and stopping to puke near the first set of moguls. When asked about his performance and decision to remove his board, Williams told reporters, quote: "I was a Division One athlete." He then paused and asked "Were you?" Before ample time was given to respond, he stated, "I didn't think so." He then cackle scream laughed and farted in the direction of the camera. The fart was reported as smelling quite bad.

Stay tuned for the remaining four events....

Get on board because these guys are solid.....another nice win today to make it to the final 4!




Tonight's game between Canada and Russia should also be an excellent game.

Hockey is far and away the most exciting sport to watch on TV.

it's safe to skip to 30min mark... pretty swell guy, that lolly drama.

I sent forwarded this out from my iphone to a handful of IC members last night, but I think it deserves blog. This just happened 2 days ago. Notice the 67 year old's shirt.

Here's the article regarding the fight: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/17/national/main6217265.shtml

being the stellar amigo i am, i've taken the responsibility of tending to casa mazur for the week whilst they wither away in caribbean climes.

they come back from their 6 day trip tomorrow night, and so far the house is still intact dogs and all. but, dont think i couldnt figure out a way to screw something up.

dfw was hammered for 20 hours yesterday with snow, and most tree branches have taken quite a pounding. a foreign exchange student(read immigrant day laborer) showed up earlier and offered to remove all fallen branches in exchange for pesos or tamales. i politely refused his services, thinking to myself i'll just move the branches.

this incoherent conversation-his english, my spanish- turned interesting when sam, the lab, decided to dart down the street. dead sprint. adios.

my twisted gray matter's first thought is "fuck, if this dog is dead, im gonna have to give mazur back that 100 bucks."

it's a dog, he'll find his way back, right?

yes, all's well. 45 minutes later, a neighborhood missing dog advocate, and collar reader, managed to corral the curious canine.

funny sidenote-- neighbor says sam immediately started humping his dogs.

mazurs are gone for 24 more hours, what could possibly go wrong?

Monkey Mayhem

I'd like to think I have the dignity not to mock something for a physical defect, but I think I have reason here. Last weekend as I walked to my hotel room, a cleft lipped monkey crawled on an overhanging branch and hissed and sort of screamed at me, my roommate and the hotel guide. We all started running.

Five minutes later, he appeared again at the end of the following video.

Mazur, your wish is granted. Though not the genuine article, these two New Orleanian gentleman are surely related. (No souls were Photoshoped in the posting of this picture)

I enjoyed the outcome of last night's NFC championship. I'm not sure if anyone else went deep into the post-game, but I sure did. And boy oh boy was I rewarded. I would have a paid a large sum of money to follow this human around last night. I can't imagine the carnage that ensued.

HAPPY MLK DAY CRACKAS

A) It's been a year since the Bachelor party, which included Faust throwing his best man through a chair, a memorable night at Cheeks, Portillo inviting his family, Williams thrashing down the slopes and moostaches. Seems like a long time ago. A lot has changed for everybody...

B) I volunteered at the MLK museum (where he was murdered) in Memphis for about 6 months. It was pretty cool and made you pretty disappointed to be white. Truth. It was tough. His Dream speech is the most well known, but I always thought Mountaintop was the most powerful.

Food for thought:

"What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stifled by an assassin's bullet. No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders. A sniper is only a coward, not a hero, and an uncontrolled or uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness - not the voice of the people."

- RFK, after MLK was slain

I don't necessarily agree with it, but thought it was Blog worthy.

Also, if you worked on MLK and got off work for President's Day, I think something's wrong with that. If you worked both, man, bummer. If you worked neither, your name is probably Kevin Raldymple.

After arriving at the Dalrymples on Tuesday night- in a scene straight out of Perfect Strangers- Kevin Dalrymple and Brian Weiss were in the backyard with a metal detector trying to find Kevin's wedding ring. He lost said ring while tossing the football with Brian the night before. Brian, who has great experience at losing important things, found the ring minutes after we arrived.

In other news, Two members of the IC are moving out of Texas. Can you name them?

Happy Birthday C.B.!

Merry Christmas Everyone

Of all the things we like/love, who has the deepest passion for the subject that follows their name:

Kevin: Football
Miller: Girls asses
Weiss: Gino
Clint: Texas (the state)
Lubahn: saying the word "Dude"
Portillo: the longevity/durability of his Acura
Mazur: Manly, constructive activity
Faust: Indie Rock
Chambers: Trucks
Williams: Presenting an oppositional point of view

This is a challenging vote. Feel free to alter your passion to what better represents you but kids and wives are not allowed. Too obvious.

This is the 500th post in Blog history.

L.T. Representing!

I saw Lubahn cruising University on my way to work yesterday morning. He was going 9. As in miles per hour. I waved to him, but he couldn't see me through the fog in his car.

Year in Review

I went through the blog archives to see how many times each person posted. I literally have nothing to do this week at work. So I have to look busy. This graph made me look busy.


Also, any nominees for post of the year?

A LIFE WITH NO PURPLE

What if TCU never happened?

What if a 12th grade education was all you mustered?

Where would you be?

Pick somebody and tell their story. It can be a sentence (Chambers) or a sonnet (Williams)... I guess I will pick Lubahn because of the above picture.

Never leaves Minnesota. But still managed to snake his educated Darling back to Minnesota and marry up. He leaves Winona for the bright lights of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. There his wife supports his hopes of becoming a minor league hockey player as he battles in the semi-pro adult circuit.

Sadly, his youngest of 9 children chokes on a tater tot, and though Brent was successful in reviving the youngster, his jean shorts (he never met me so his wardrobe never evolved) got caught fire on the space heater. His legs were burned and his hockey career was over. He moves back to Winona. Alex, his youngest brother, got him a job driving the Zamboni before the 3rd period of the Winona Pirates' Pee-Wee hockey games.

In the words of Richard Mazur,"get your education."

At least UT football grads are intelligent.

Did yall see what happened to Lubahn last game?

I know it's the lazy man's blog to just post a video. But this talk show with Zach Galifianakis is one of the funnier things I have seen. The one with Bradley Cooper may be even better. Sorry, if I am late to the party on this one.

Did you guys hear about the new uniforms we are breaking out for Saturday??

Alright Funny People, Give me your best sign for Saturday...

Biggest TCU game probably since Slinggin' Sammy Baugh! Colin Cowherd and many more across the country are calling the Frogs the best team in the country. Just went on gofrogs.com and all of the Upperdeck is sold out already, all that is left is vistors section and endzones. This weekend is going to be INSANE! We'll be making signs Friday night, either at Piel's or Mazur's house, waking up at 5 AM Saturday morning and will be in the front row for GameDay. So lets see if the IC can come up with some clever sign ideas. Go Frogs!

The Infamous Faust Tennis Interview

In case you missed it on Saturday morning....



In case you stopped following sports (I say sports because the result was on the front page of every media outlet in America):

TCU - 38
BYU - 7

On the 4th and 10 segment on First Take this AM, the question was asked "Which undefeated team besides the top 3 have the best chance to make the National Championship Game?" - The black guy arguing with Skip Bayless said TCU has a legitimate shot if Iowa loses (which they will), Texas loses (which they might), and USC loses (which they might).

Rif Ram...

Top 5 music-ers I like lately

BDub introduced me to Kid Cudi (left). I'd heard one of his songs but BDub encouraged the album. Quality, innovative, earnest "hip-hop" about things besides drugs, hos, etc.

I like when friends recommend good musica.

Here are my top 5 in the last run:
1. Avett Brothers - contemporary bluegrass-y
2. Last Shadow Puppets - Indie-ish and a tad sappy - unique sound, vocalist
3. Sunset Rubdown featuring Spencer Krug - snapping, biting lyrics and "riffs" - indie wouldn't be fair but rock just doesn't fit either
4. Cienfue - Spanish, has a mad guitarist
accompanied by some sort of twinkling chimes - Havent met a white person yet that didn't go nuts over them
5. Kid Cudi - from Cleveland and gives homage to Bone Thugs as well as his dead father - also mentions Cleveland Plains Dealer (newspaper) in a song, which won points for me
* Honorable Mention: Jurassic 5 - someone gave me the anthology recently. I'm 8 years behind, but damn, these boys are like the more polite Wu-Tang


Feel free to share, err, please share...

College GameDay in Provo this Saturday for the weekend's biggest game.

My Saturday.

11am-3pm - Took nephews to "Where the Wild Things Are." I loved it. Director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) was perhaps the only director that could pull that movie off.

3pm-10pm - Watched TCU game with Dalrymples, Chambers and Jess. Chambers talked to his parents and realtor the whole time. I think he bought a house

10pm-12pm - Stopped by our local gayborhood club and watched Piper play matchmaker for a gentleman named Arnesto.

12pm-12:30pm - While aimlessly searching for our car we were accosted by three Mexicans (1 guy, 2 girls). I kicked both the girls in the uteral area to keep them away from Piper. While holding the guy in a headlock, the fatter of the 2 gals gave me a pretty nice sucker punch to the eye.

It's been a long time since I have had a wild Saturday. I just wanted to share it with you guys. How was your weekend?

New Year's 2010

Option 1: New Orleans
Close, fun, reasonably warm, inexpensive, Bourbon Street and brown sugars (lubahn?). Could be awesome. Maybe there's a Lil Wayne concert or something on NYE and we can kick it with him and the Birdman until we find God.

Option 2: Big Ben National Park, Lake Canyon Park,...


Big Ben is real far away. Probably too far. Personally, I think mixing it up with a camping trip or somewhere we'd never expect to find ourselves would be a cool deal. I don't know too many National Parks in TX area, but if y'all does, I think it's worth considering. Any ideas?

Who's in for an IC NYE?
Anybody already have plans?

I'd like to do a good NYE again. It's been a couple years and it'd be nice to get the band back together again.

Wouldn't it be sweet to get 6...or 8...or...? Think if we had 8-10. I'd like to be a part of that evening.

Just listen to me......

Saturday night, I saw something that I have never seen before in my entire life of watching football. Tanner Brock, aka Badass Mother Fucker, lost his helmet during a TCU punt return. Instead of going finding his helmet or going half speed the rest of the play, Brock (who is a true freshman) continued at 100% and ended up air lifting an SMU defender (as you can see in the above picture) WITHOUT his helmet on! And he didn't just stick him with his shoulder pads either, this was head to helmet. Do not ignore this video, it is 20 seconds long, and I know some of you hate watching videos (Faust) but sometimes you should sit down and pay attention to videos that your friends put out there for you:

If you still decide not to watch this 20 clip of this hit that was #2 in the SportsCenter hightlights on Saturday (how it didnt make #1 is beyond me) then you are not only a terrible fan of your great Alma Mater, but you are a communist and I do not wish to speak to you ever again in my entire life. I will hate the living shit out of you forever. HATE, I said.

i know chambers is in.
