United We Stand

Divided We Fall

Can I get an update on the U.S. these days?

If I read one more tea party story, I'm moving to Bhutan.

In Bhutan GDP is measured in happiness.

Do things change or stay more or less the same?

humor.

Wallstreet - Did you like it, love it, hate it? The original Wallstreet is in my top 3 favorite movies of all time, so I don't really like the fact that they remade it and really don't like Shia LeBouf, although maybe he will surprise me. I would like a quick review if anyone goes.

Roger Federer continues to be a part of my existence.

I'd say a day that passes when I am not reminded of my likeness to him is in the minority. This weekend, the Andre Agassi Farewell Tour came to Costa Rica (four years after his retirement) and I heard about 111 Federer references. My question is, does anyone else have a universal world twin/doppelganger? If not, we should vote to assign them.

I think one of these guys (terrible Mexican band Molotov) looks like Faust

I also think this is funny.

adub, is this funny?

POLLS

The polls are intended to be fun and random. I am not looking to call anyone out- I hope that no one feels like I am making a joke of them. I was just thinking of people who might be relatively close in speed. I was simply inspired after watching the Seinfeld episode,"The Race."

POLL -

Do you know the TCU Alma Mater song?

Please answer Yes or No.

So lately my life has been largely occupied by work. Specifically there was a deadline that we had to hit by the end of August. Long story short sometime this spring I mentally committed to not cut my mullet until we delivered on this task, fortunately we hit the target two weeks ago, but now I have become emotionally attached. This picture was taken today and I just wanted to share seeing as the tail's days might now be numbered. Also, tomorrow I will be taking this to present to the Office of Navel Research. Meaning, I will be rocking the business mullet.

lubes brought up mixed genders, or transylvannies, or whatever... good work. adub, i think you asked for an opinion on racism, by tosh.daily? cancer next? what was that? tosh.doesgallagher?

next poll: how long til adub gets cease and desist from tosh.oh?

we have to move the tranny pics lower...

So I was recently in DC and on the last day I was taken to eat at Perry's in the Adam's Morgan district, which is a very eclectic area and one that given more time I would probably go back to.

Perry's -

Myself and five of my female colleagues went to the 10:00am Drag Brunch. The food and Bloody Mary's were fantastic. Being groped and stripped of my shirt by a transsexual was less than fantastic but memorable none the less.



More enjoyable pics




I questioned announcing this but now welcome the creative thoughts that are surely to come. (Smiling on the outside, hoping the she doesn't rub her cock on me on the inside.)


Bear, I now feel your pain!

you asked for it adub.

Last night was a top five non-major moments in my life (major moments are baby, wedding, etc...)

I caught a foul ball.

A foul ball hit by Albert Pujols.

Piper and I were about 20 rows back on the lower level on the first base side. In the sixth inning, Pujols hit a high foul ball that towered above us. It appeared it would end up in the second deck, but I remained vigilant and transfixed on the ball- Piper was transfixed on her nachos.  The ball caromed off the second deck, dropped about 100 feet, and I caught the ball with one hand.  It was a magnificent moment.  The crowd cheered- and as I stood there stunned, a drunk yelled out, "You're gonna need to change your underpants!"

As to not make this post entirely self-serving, please post some of your magnificent non-major moments.

if anybody gets a little tv time on wednesday...

Crazy Video

The Social Experiment

We had a shoot for one of our clients from Minnesota. We used two of our employees and two of their employees. Can you guess who is from Texas and who is from
Minnesota?










And the true Texans are.....

today's word is "steroidy".

yee. haw.

A video worth posting....he speaks the truth

jewel can suck it.

2011 Boundary Waters Canoe Trip Clint and I recently met for the first time here in the great state of Minnesota and he threw out the idea of a Boundary Waters Canoe trip next summer. It would be an awesome trip, my brother and his buddies do it each year. Check out the Boundary Water site - http://www.bwca.com/ and you will see that this is pretty sweet. The basics of the trip are what you want to bring you will need to carry on your back, you eat what you catch and just chill out. You can portage as much as you like or just create a home site and do smaller day trips. Breakfast over a fire, fishing/swimming during the day, drinks and extracurriculars during the campfire at night.....not bad Thoughts?

lie.

cognitive dissonance.

get it popping.

The new chica

Lubahn, you always (creepily) ask for pics of my girlfriends/dating companions.

Here you go.

She's the one just off the left testes.

this deserves its own post....butzxxxs comment on the like it or not turning 30 post.

Butz said...
I have been 30 for two months, so I can speak to this topic using experience, though limited. First of all, who gives a fuck how old you are? Is 28 different from 30? Is 36 different from 30? It isnt, so who cares. My balls have a few more wrinkles, but the junk works the same as always. I do not put pressure on myself to get married, have kids, or conform to other social norms, so if those things hinge on an age in your psyche, I do not share the concern. If my family ever pressured me to do so, I would punch them in the collective taints. I may be getting off topic with the taint punching, but I guess what I am getting at is this: everyone on this blog has a life that is enviable by the majority of the rest of the world, so we should all be grateful regardless of our age. For those of us without kids, be grateful that you don't have a money leach attached to your every financial decision for at least the next 18 years. For those of us with kids, be grateful that you get to watch them grow into a hateful teenager and then an ungrateful young adult soon thereafter. Relish the thought of them coming home after their first date smelling like MD 20/20 and Virginia Slims stolen from grandma. Off topic again, back to the point. Your age is what you make it? You are as young as you feel? I think all the cliches apply. I am going to shotgun a beer and take a rip from a water bong now.

Top Ten Worst Sports Logos  (click to see all)

Every one has an opinion when it comes to logos and I thought this was a decent 5 minute time-waster.

One of my teams is on their- and with good reason. I disagree with a few of these.  I don't mind the Rays and I love the Blazers.  They even explain what the Blazers logo means.

Any other suggestions?

I think Williams has the "There's gotta be something wrong with that guy hat". Pretty sure he wore it to N. Mexico...

I don't know about, but I'm just a regular everyday normal guy..

Like it or Not

In the next 12 months, almost everyone reading these words, will celebrate birthday number

What does that signify? The end of youth? The beginning of true adulthood? Will I wake on March 18, 2011 and feel instantenously older, less exuberant, a tad more crotchety and slightly less able-bodied?

I like to think not. But, as aging has happened, I've found myself adjusting my rules for defining "old". Twenty five was old when I was 21. Twenty nine was old was I was 25. Thirty four was old when I was 28. And this year, I've moved it up to 40. I'm going to try to hold it there.

Twenty nine has significantly altered my mindset. The 25 year old and 26 year old at work are simply too naive to understand most things, I salivate a little more than I used to for acquiring greenbacks, career urgency is amplified and going out to a bar (except when you all are around) almost repulses me.

I wonder what 30 will bring?

I think Butz and Lubahn are the first to go. Then Brown. Then Me. Then Faust. Then Portillo. Then Kevin. Then Mazur. (correct order?) Miller, Weiss and Chambers all escape for another year.

Cheers to the dwindling days of our third decade on Earth, amigos.

progress.

Here is one Williams and I have been kicking around for awhile.... what kind of superhero would you be?I am going to take old Clint Brown.

Weakness: Anne Rice Novels, Fake Leather Jackets
Sidekick: Bevo
Arch Nemesis: Jack Lubahn

Faust works at Pottery Barn

Double Rainbow....all the way!

anyone ever get a certain word stuck in their head?

micturate.

i confess.

OK, so obviously no one wants to follow up the most epic post in IC history, but I do like attention so I figure I will take a stab at it.  Here is my confession: I had this poster hanging up in my room.  I f' love Alanis Morisette.  I welcome criticism or support, and offer this question, "What questionable posters did you have as a kid?"

Jewel

This is a confession. I heard this song this morning and it reminded me of being 14 and staying up to watch VH1 hour upon hour for this video to play, I even had the cd. This morning, I almost downloaded it on iTunes.






I know you'll watch it all the way through, and if you're alone, you will turn up the speakers. Just click play, I dare you.

What's in a Name?

The other night, I got into a conversation about people's names. Here are some of the observations by the group of five.

* No one had ever met a guy named Conrad who wasn't chubby

* A Tiffany or several Tiffany-ies had wronged everyone sometime in life

* Girls named Dana aren't usually pretty (their name is actually just Dan with an A)

* Almost all Brad's are arrogant, even mildly so

* Goth Kids are never named Matt

On a personal level, I've also never met a guy named Austin that I liked very much and generally have never been a big fan of people named after cities.

I'd like to hear other people's name beef.

Here were some of George Carlin's.

Sorry for the shot Carlin takes at you, Brent.

I highly recommend for everyone in the IC to watch the new 30 for 30 documentary "The Two Escobars". It is about the 1994 Columbian soccer team. It is a lot of subtitles (sorry Chambers), but within the first 5 minutes of watching you will be glued to your television for the full two hours. Even Katie loved it, and she is not a soccer fan what so ever. It makes you appreciate where we live, it makes you think just how strong the ties are between real life shit and sports (pay attention Williams), and it is a great history lesson on Columbia as a country and how fucked up shit really was over there. It's fucking awesome, you can download it from YouTube if you dont have a TV (Williams). They also replay all the time, so set your DVR.

After you watch this, I also recommend a lot of the other 30 for 30 series:

June 17, 1994 (OJ Simpson chase)

The 16th Man (this is another sports tie in with real world shit (pay attention Williams) - regarding S. Africa)

Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks

Small Potatoes - Who Killed the USFL

Without Bias

Fuck, they're all good. Even the hockey one on Wayne Gretzky. If you arent watching 30 for 30, then start now.

If you don't watch this in its entirety you'll turn into a meth-ed out Bob Costas.

MOTHERFUCKIN'
THREE POSTS
IN A ROW
BITCH

If you are not familiar with this show, get familiar. It was just cancelled this week after its second season on Starz, which is beyond ridiculous (both that it was cancelled and that it was on Starz). You can stream both seasons on Netflix and I encourage you to do so.

Is there an IC fantasy football league? If yes, how do I get invited and can we make it a keeper league?

courtesy darpa:

Have yall seen the previews for this yet? I recommend watching the preview in its entirety, looks pretty cool:

Something Great to Reveal

WILLIAMS ROLLS THROUGH TEXAS
Adam Williams tours Texas looking for food, fun and friends. He is in high spirits and excited to be in his homeland.

I saw this old Lambda last night at the Quarry in San Antonio. He played cover songs for 5 hours straight. I kid you not. I was also thinking that maybe he should be the 12 in our Big 12...thoughts?

MOVING ON BABY!!

It wasnt a guess, it is a fact: REASON FOR 2-3-2 FORMAT IN THE NBA

Happy Birthday Friend. You're a kindred soul.

The United States' Bogus Journey

After a gimme goal against England, karma strikes back. There was no offsides and the only foul that should have been called was on those filthy Slovenians. A country I once knew nothing about, but for whom now I have a strong distaste. This call sickened me. 


I think the World Cup is the best sporting event in the world.

Faust is a modest man but this is his latest work. Valuable stuff for you Dad's out there...

Boom! Father Of The Year?

Does anyone else think it is odd that a man who was stabbed 11 times in the face, neck, and back and had a bottle broken on his face while patronizing a place called the Buzz Club could be such an enormous pussy on the basketball court? I do.

Madelyn Rose Mazur 
Congratulations, Ashley and Michael. She's balling out of control.

Chambers: Tanzania: Hunter of precious animals, untamed, rugged, open to unprotected sex

Lubahn: Turkey - sneaky, seemingly silent and suddenly a nuclear threat, accustomed to cold, eat lots of soup. Turkish-born Hedo Turkoglu is one of Lubahn's favorite NBAers.

Portillo: Nicaragua - Cheap, disorganized, dirty, fun, run by a dictator with fun-loving, well-traveled wife


Brown: Brazil - Sweaty, likes women and a good time, expected to be wealthy soon, has hidden things lurking in its jungle



Faust: France - Aggressive and sometimes rude, well dressed, smokes, wears scarves, on a quest to out hipster everyone else



Miller: North Korea: Intriguing, threatening, bullying, improving, and run by a zany miltant cat with a taste for women


Weiss: Thailand: Great to visit, fun, capital is Bangkok (like penis), sometimes troubled by in-fighting



Bear: USA: Lovers of capitalism, TV sport packages, Whataburger and the only country you can get a BWI.


Mazur: Israel: Wealthy, calculated, will bomb you if you come on their property and/or steal your fucking aid boat without remorse


Butz: Russia: Biggest country in world, gritty, efficient, cold, run by a man who appointed himself Prime Minister after his Presidency just so he could still run shit


Williams: Greece: Lots of beach time, darkish complexion, loves eating, looking for large financial bailout package

Be Afraid

Has anyone else seen this? We get movies late here and reporters get free tickets for "screenings" of movies that were out 4 months ago in the U.S. I go to just about all of them and, to date, this might be the worst one I've seen yet.

Tracy Morgan, Sean William Stifler and Bruce Willis in a movie directed by Kevin Smith - Gotta be half-decent, right? Wrong.

Or maybe it's me. In one scene, Willis makes a goofy yelping sound and then kills a man. Costa Rican audience = riotous laughter. Me = stunned.

this will happen in our lifetime. it's safe to skip to the ten minute mark.

-soothsayer

So, we only have a couple days until the World Cup. Is every one still interested in throwing in $5 to make the cup a little more interesting.

World Cup...7 days and counting...
