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?
