NYE FORT WORTH DEC31, 2010

Come over to my house at 5pm for NYE.

Bring what you'd like to grill.

I'm going to purchase some good brew. Let me know if you'd like in. If you're of the specific brain bring what you'd like to drink.

We're doing a white elephant gift exchange. spend $15 - 20 on something ridiculous and bring it. I was the winner of the last gift exchange. I brought a mouse. It bit one of the guests. It made everyone extremely happy. I'm convinced this gift cannot be beaten, prove me wrong.

I have visions of a wonderful evening. Friendship with a thick fog of reminiscence sprinkled with a touch of tomfoolery.

Guests so far:

Cholo Bob Woodward aka Martin Luther King aka Adam Williams & el lapiz

Shy Guy Adam Faust & lady friend

Uber Liberal M. Rambo Chambers & lady friend

Myself & wife

Shadies:

Marc

Clint

Brian

Next Topic, focus people.

Assuming we're all friends the next day, where are we gathering for the Rose Bowl? I'm open to anything that is sound.

Did everyone get a chance to watch me in the finale of The Sing Off last night? We did not win, but I gave it all I had. (Unless you enjoy a cappella signing, you may want to skip to the 2:00 minute mark or so).

The Big Game

I would love to get our IC Beat Writer, A.D. Williams, to give us his spin on the Fantasy Finals.  I know you don't follow football like you once did, but I figure you'll still have something to say about it.

IC Year in Review

2010

Looking back on the year that was, I'm trying to compile a list of things that transpired here and amongst the members of IC. Mazur had a daughter. Brown got an MBA and a new winter wardrobe. Lubahn up and left Crowley, though will be forever remembered for his fence eating dog and misspelled family mailbox. Faust got a promotion and longer hair. Bear went to Omaha and came back with great stories. Williams went to Nicaragua and came back with an amoeba. Miller closed in on a degree and jumped off a CR waterfall. Weiss honed in on a professorship and (I think) got himself a novia. Lee Portillo returned to blog (sort of), made some ludicrous claims to running a 48-second 400 meters, and continued to distort water membranes. Matt Chambers continued to drive the biggest truck in Texas, ate only apples for several days, and taught his son how to flip people off.

Did I forget anyone?

Oh yes, that's right. The unprecedented Man of the Year (in my vote), and Event of the Year, was the the return of Nick Butz. The blog was sputtering a little and, like a snark-charged defibrillator high on Mountain Dew and Caribbean travel, Nick Butz reincarnated the IC for a banner year 2010, eclipsing former post totals by the dozens.

Honorable mention for event of the Year goes to Bear's Jewel Post, which resulted in comments that surpassed the century mark.

Any other additions? Chime in...

"Damn You Auto Correct"

Thought we could use a new post.

From our friends at the Onion:

Report: TCU Can Only Enter Big East If They Bring Girls

FORT WORTH, TX—Texas Christian University has been invited to join the Big East athletic conference, an opportunity that would grant them higher visibility and prestige, as long as they "bring some of those hot Texas girls along," Commissioner John Marinatto said Monday. "We are happy to welcome the Horned Frogs to the Big East, as they represent a fine sporting tradition, and also we could really use some new girls around here," Marinatto told the assembled reporters at a press conference. "Boston College had those cute little Catholic girls, but they left when the Eagles went to the ACC, and we could really use some nice Texas-cowgirl trim. Frankly, West Virginia doesn't give it up as much as you'd think, even though they'll do just about anything once you get them liquored up." TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said he was happy to hook the Big East up, explaining that the conference's automatic BCS bowl bid was more than compensation for Syracuse girls being "totally flat."

Happy Monday for all you Nic Cage fans out there...
