Me thinks The Man doth protest too much
The Man or no, I'm only going to say this once Marty: watch Scrubs tonight. Funny funny show. That goes for all of you.

Even though TIm, Debz and Sharon are gathering a posse to attack me because I have a badge, I would like to point out that I'm NOT a member of the distinguished "The Man" club.

I was going to write them an Email, but, I think I should make a more public defense of myself. Also, Andy, when they're done with me, they're going for you.

1) The Man does not support NPR. The man has reduced the Coporation for Public Broadcasting funding significantly since the "republican revolution" of 1994.

Response: Not only am I a Dollar a Day member of Chicago Public Radio, I even listen during pledge drives. Will, as my witness, knows this... he's been in my car during pledge drives, and not just Minnesota Public Radio/Garrison Kelleor Love Fests.

2) The Man has authority.

Response: I have authority of minors between the ages of 12-21. I can't even lock up their parents.

3) The Man, by default, cannot be part of a Union. The Man recoils at the idea of organized labor.....except, of course, the Fratenal Order of Police.

Response: I'm a Union Steward. Hence my "I'll box any and everyone" mentality. In the spirit of full disclosure, howeve,r I am a member of the FOP.

4) The Man should have a symbol of Authority.

Response. Fine. I have a badge, and I show it as often as I can.

5) The man is not about Full Disclosure

Response: I've said it twice so far.

6) the man hates Al Franken

Response: I love Al Franken

If I still have The Man criteria, I will take on all comers. I think i've listed a number of mitigating factors.. But If I haven't....I'll be waitin' your posse.

These monkies sound way too much like Dr. Octopus

For Debz'z B-day, I submit to you: Monkeys moving robotic arms by the sheer power of their minds.

AND (a two day late) Happiest of Birthdays to Debz "Devborah" Nicol!

Happy birthday Oppressor.

Huzzah to the Emperor Penguin, may the day of his birth be blessed. And may no one trap him in his own sweatshirt, dump him in a recycling bin, and shove him downstairs (for at least a week).

Happy Birthday, English Caesar!

World Beard and Mustache Championships. That's all I'm saying.

Oh my god.

That's almost unreal, but I suppose it was bound to happen eventually. I mean, the damn Daily Show does how many of those magazine segments every week, right? I'd totally forgotten about Ryan Clancy until just now, Brian. Now his big hair and sideburns have come back to me. Unbelievable.

Did he have any luck as a human shield?

Brain, Brian. . . really, I dont know what your foreskin problem is.

This is interesting: if you go to Briandearth. com you get this, and if you go to Braindeath.com you get this.. Okay, maybe it's not that interesting, I'm bored.

I dont think either blog is "dying" just because there is not a constant stream of posts: as long as people stop in to talk or vent when they need to, and other check in to see whos talking/ venting and possibly respond. Still, where did Tim, Josh and Sharron go?

To adress Marty's earlier post: Will and I are sorry that we did not see nor partake of the Jager at the party. I did help you get rid of some Goldschlager though. . .

Hey Andy, got any pictures of capybara?

The other beloit blog is dying too. What the hell is going on here?

Oh, I think Debz should review "Boondock Saints."

The floor is open for motions. Do i have a motion?

Has anyone ever seen the Doug movie?

Kermit is going to be on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

I have nothing good or fun to say right now...other than I'm spending my money like I shouldn't.
