the huge duluth blog...

"You wanted to go outside for a cigarette every 5 minutes"
-Sista J

"We couldn't get you two [peeps and badeskis] to sit down for 2 seconds." (Yeah we were kinda bouncing off the walls.)


The last pic of the night: This is the last cybershot of the night. I am trying to lick broetch off my arm. Why the pinky I don't know. Anyways, peeps branded me with the broetch call it goes something like this mgmgbrooooooooetchch.


Sista J and Allie, a pretty nice pic. Sista was sober for the second night in a row//////how do you put up with peeps. After driving her around for 2 seconds she would be rolling out the passenger seat at about 50 mph.

Yag bomb you taste sooooo good. Why though are you in a shot glass? Is it the RT's mixes red bull and jag and then pours? Thats right...shaken not stirred bitch.


When I got to RT's I was already incredibly wasted. So you could imagine that by the time I got home, ummm around 3ish...4ish?????? that I was pretty wasted. Bret and I had gone to Fitgers so I could pay my part of the bet. what was the bet? the packers lost....the bears won.....twice. Drank 2 at fitgers then drank huge amounts at Sir Bens 3-4 beers and 2 shots of goldschlager. This is the important part. Bret asked if I wanted some goldschlager and I asked what is it. Peppermint schnapps he responded...it kinda tastes like cinnamon. I said sorry, but does it look like I live in a trailer court? Once I found out there was real gold in it, and that I would be shitting gold the next day I was in. The thing is that the second shot was poured into a glass and the server gave us the largest shot ever purchased at a bar. It had to be at least 8oz. {notice all the popcorn in the machine we were the only ones eatin it, compare it to pictures later on}


What am I doing you ask? I am either raising the roof, or sick of Allie's shit and givin her sole attitude.

It looks like I am having a fun time....peeps on the other hand is having a hard time with that spanking... Don't grunt that hard, you're just slapping an ass.


Whoa peeps././././/. can you handle that shot?


umm draw your own conclusions....


Peeps: "Dude there is no way that the popcorn machine is hot... badeskis I am not touchin it."


you think I am not going to touch it... don't you....


ouch..... so hot!!!!!!! badeskis you were right


give me a kiss, just one quick one or two or three or four... your breath smells like popcorn


she said what? bitch I am the hottest thing in this hole in the wall.


See this was a perfectly good picture.... and then peeps had to go and make a funny face. broetch!


Peeps you're not a num num.. back off!


Well you are a num num... just not the num num I want.


I'm so cool. I am an artist. fuck you conformist bastards. my name is peeps


did you not hear me? I am peeps.


My freshman nickname to some was bader boobie squeezer. I have no idea where it came from.


This is by far the best pic of the entire trip. Enough said.


Becky shut up... You know you wanted these pictures posted.


bader boobie squeezer deja vu


I wish I could smoke a cigarette as elegant as Allie


So Peeps was stalking a num num that we saw two weeks in a row... at the same bar.... with the same pants on. She then took my camera and went crazy.


at least he is having fun while peeps lurks in the darkness...


Pick those songs so I do play now. don't wear the same pants two weeks in a row. stupid num num


and another///


and another


When we went to gabes after the bar the cops came, more than likely because of peeps and I having a cig every two seconds. I stood close to the door out of sight and harassed the cops. You had to be there, but take this into consideration. There were 8 of us. at least that many cops, and we were all BY FAR older than 21. biatches//

NEWS FLASH peeps throwing all kinds of things into the bathroom.

wanted: braincells from sat nite:::::I don't remember putting on a provocative dance with peeps for everyone at gabes. I do know though, that if I was dancing with peeps, it was a GOOD show. bet your ass on it.

Taj-- Only the Best Sitcom ever. Peeps and I dreamed up a crazy sitcom and then tried to piece it together the next day. It is and was funny, all it involves is following us around drunk and watching the crazy and funny things we do. I think we should write it, shoot it, experience it, edit it, and then sell it. Peeps we could make a lot of money, we have nothing to lose, lets just do it and then if it doesn't make a ton of money we will have one cool home video.

Broetch!!!!
All the pictures above were taken at RT Quilans, only the coolest bar around. I have introduced many of you to its glory. Anyways after two crazy sats there in a row, we are offically in with broetch; she is not only our broetch bar maid, but she is indebted to us for life. What the fuck is up with you attire? I can't believe that me and peeps haven't gotten our picture taken with you yet. Look for that in the future. Where are you? We love you! Her name is broetch.

DON'T FUCK WITH BADER AND TOUCH TUNES!!!! people getting sassy with me at the touch tunes, how does 30 play nows sound? and then saying ha ha nice good luck hearing your songs to everyone in line.... thats what I thought! broetch!

TELEPORT: why teleport when you could use peep's lightning fast car. It goes really fast.

tOO CoOL: the weekend was so outrageous...bringin the outrageous weekends to 3 in a row. how could I top that? I think I will stay home and do nothing this weekend. That is unless Looara invites me to St. Cloud....then it will be 4 outrageous weekends in a row.

scott bader smallville

I finished smallville early this week, I know there was a mild obsession there for a while. Regardless some discs ago, when Clark went to Metrpolis to try out for Kansas State football, they showed a skyline of Minneapolis and the metrodome. They then continued to film inside the dome....stupid toliet looking thing. Anyways I was going to blog about it then sent the disc back. On the final disc they were scrolling through a list of names of graduating seniors and look below, who was part of smallville high? None other than Scott Bader!! Ha! 96 episodes in about 3 weeks was well worth it. Enjoy my claim to fame everyone.

hmmm

The majority of the American people (55 percent) think the war in Iraq is a mistake and that we should get out. The majority (65 percent) of the American people want single-payer health care and are willing to pay more taxes to get it. The majority (86 percent) of the American people favor raising the minimum wage. The majority of the American people (60 percent) favor repealing Bush's tax cuts, or at least those that go only to the rich. The majority (66 percent) wants to reduce the deficit not by cutting domestic spending, but by reducing Pentagon spending or raising taxes.

The majority (77 percent) thinks we should do "whatever it takes" to protect the environment. The majority (87 percent) thinks big oil companies are gouging consumers and would support a windfall profits tax. That is the center, you fools. WHO ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

Jan 19, 9:13 AM (ET)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Going maybe where no other actor has gone before, "Star Trek" star William Shatner has sold a piece of his body for charity.

Shatner, famed for playing Captain James T. Kirk, commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series, sold his kidney stone to online casino GoldenPalace.Com for $25,000. The money will be donated by Shatner to Habitat for Humanity to build houses for the poor.

boy if they only knew

this was kinda a long survey, but I laughed when I got to this question...

an emo should be used as a speed bump

Maybe they need their own genocide?

Some of the stereotypical fashion trends associated with emo include the wearing of tight jeans, males wearing pants tailored for females, black clothing, All-Stars shoes, used T-shirts with random prints, and dyeing their hair in unatural dark hues. Dark make-up is also popular with females, but males may sometimes use it, too. Piercings and tattoos are also popular, especially lip and labret piercings.

Though the original emo scenes were not exclusionary, the modern "emo" scene has developed into a "gay friendly" scene. Though it's unclear whether it's related to the diminished "macho" elements of emo music or the "gay friendly" nature of the scene, it has become commonplace for detractors to use "emo" in combination with popular gay slurs, such as "emo fag".

While use of the term "emo" to describe the dress and attitudes of some fans of emo music, it should be noted that use of "emo" as a musical genre and "emo" as a slang term are largely separate. "Emo" as a musical genre long pre-dated the use of "emo" as a slang term, while most modern bands labelled "emo" are done so unwillingly, and largely because they share some of the fashion trends and attitude associated with "emo" as a slang term.

There is also a common myth that associates self harm with "emo". The link may stem from the association of negative emotions with the emo subculture.

Wild WI Wedding


Its gonna be hard to sum up sat night in a blog post, it was truly an experience you had to witness first hand. I was at a wedding in Cumberland, WI with a bunch of college friends. It was a party truly out of this world. When we got to the reception as we were walking in, Bill said "Good luck everyone" and also, It has best been described as:


"One of the most magnificent parties of all times" (in cumberland, WI)
-Steve Jobs

"Proof that Scott Bader, Looara, Char Thompson, and Bill Llyod can party like its 1989"
-Tom Welling

"I have never seen such large amounts of alcohol consumption"
-Jack London {famous american author and alcoholic}

and now for some photo collage:

Why not start the photo collage experience with a wasted one, Char and I, looking about 6-7 hours into the journey.


{Looara shaking a leg} On the way to the bar, one of the bridesmaids told me and looara that we had really stellar dancing moves, I knew I did, that was a given, but looara always likes to hear positive feedback on her drunken inbalances and disturbed equalibrium.


It was great to see Karisa, it has been a couple of years, and it was great. I warned her long before the alcohol starting making me do foolish things, that I was going to "tear up the dancing floor with a crowbar" and I did with her and the help of others.


You can see we were a little drunk. This picture will be the low down on my drinking on this phenomenal night. I am just guessing, and help me out the those of you who were here, but I remember drinking iron butterflies like they were going out of style. I recall drinkin at least of dozen of these. This was my longest drinkin binge in a while at about 12.5 hours. It was champagne, wine, iron butterflies, potpourri of wedding style shots, rounds and rounds of car-bombs, and free keg beer. I also had to add alternating water that I claimed was the savior to my incredible binge.


-surprisingly the only picture that night with her eyes closed. good thought, lets not wreck photos of this special occasion....much appreciated.


Looara, Phil and I after the reception at the corner bar. Why we went here I have no idea, we didn't need to drink anymore, but we did, and did and did some more. Looara and I left, but not after experiencing some good old fashioned WI style bar time. Saw a ton of under ages, and continued to....drink.


As you can clearly see, these are 1 dollar bills and not the five dollar bill that is referenced below.


This crumpled up 5 dollar billed fell out of char's bra the next morning. I think I was keeping my money in my crotch at the corner bar after the reception.


Char the next morning, lets just say that parts of her bed will be burned by hotel staff. I have known Char for 5-6 years, and I have never, NEVER, see her as drunk as she was, I am so proud of you Char!!!


I don't know where the fuck the square dancing entered the whole scheme of things, but I sure hope the hell I was just taking pictures and not taking part in such disgusting activities.


The Aftermath of our room. Good luck it was in Char's name, she is going to be on a black list forever, especially after they told us they were calling the cops at 3-4ish am.


But it is OK because we left some cash for the maid, and a clever note. Hopefully our wit put a smile on her face as she scrubbed our room with bleach.


I stole these letters from the reception hall. Looara was supposed to be keeping guard but didn't even see the girl behind her in a truck, not five feet away, watching me do my dirty deed.

other misc. key highlights of the night:

fffttt= the sound you hear as a moving object strikes a stationary object with subtle tact.

KABOOM= the sound you hear when all disgression is lost and a large moving object strikes a stationary object.

acdc- yeah wedding DJ we requested it, you are in WI so shut the fuck up and play the red neck national anthem

char saying no bumping and grinding on the dance floor while we were all semi-sober, and breaking those rules to my heart's content.

tearing up the dance floor, seriously, i took flight.

8 kegs


char ruining the already ruined hotel bed sheets

in conclusion:

some of you are lucky, I had a group of pictures that were lets just say "not flattering" therefore I did not post them....yet

you can also find records of these events at laura's blog, you know its always fun there. you should visit it here

Thanks all of you who were there, it was one of the best times I have had in a really, really long time.

Consider, also, how Apple has mopped up as a retailer while the rest of the industry has flopped. Sony dabbles with Sony Style stores that are careful not to compete with Sony's retailer partners. Gateway tried to mimic Apple but ended up shutting down its stores altogether. Apple, on the other hand, has built its sleek stores into a major part of its business.

"Apple is first and foremost a user experience story," writes independent analyst Pip Coburn in a recent research report. He notes that as of September, Apple's 124 stores accounted for 17 percent of Apple's revenues and that 50.7 million people had visited Apple's stores. Talk about unique visitors (a common online measurement of site usage). Still, Coburn, formerly a strategist at UBS, thinks Wall Street underappreciates Apple's retail strategy.

Interestingly, there's even a bit of negativity around Apple's richly priced stock. At $76, it's up about 10-fold since early 2003. Commenting on two expected software offerings from Microsoft, Citigroup's Gardner writes: "Our first look at Vista and Windows Media 11 suggests that these products should substantially close the gap with Mac OS X and iLife in a number of key respects." How funny. Microsoft is closing the gap with Apple, and so investors ought to be concerned, Gardner suggests.

It takes a little getting used to seeing Apple on top. Steve Jobs's job now is make sure it stays there.

Macworld San Francisco 2006 Rumor Roundup

Macworld San Francisco 2006 Rumor Roundup

Friday, January 06, 2006

you probably are

If you use the word "Soooo" as in 'i am sooo' or "Heeellllooo?!" as in "Heellooo?!" or "like" as in 'he is so like' as a consistent part of your grammar you probably are...

If you wave around your hands and arms in the air while talking to emphasize phrases in your sentences, you probably are...

If you are so concerned with what people think about your shirts, pants, belts, shoes, hair, face, that it determines your outlook on society and breaks cultural norms within your proclaimed nuances than you probably are...

If you look like you are always participating in a "walk-off" you probably are...

If you say "...and I'm sorry, but you have you seen her pants today?" you probably are...

If you are so stuck up that you think you are on the top of the world, and if people don't act like you they are at the bottom, you probably are...

If while getting your picture taken you throw out your hip and/or touch your fingers to your mouth, and/or lift your shirt to show your belly, and/or exhaust all opps to make sure you are are/not noticed as a 'you probably are' you probably are...

I'm not saying anything, just you probably are...
