another round on me!
thanks for guessin again!
The truth is #2. I was going to pick up my sister and i got the brilliant idea that I was like a stuntman and could jump out of a moving car. little did i realize that physics existed. so i fell to the ground and my mom rolled over my ankle and foot. luckily for me I had high tops on and I was unharmed. I remember screaming though. being scared of losing my foot and all.
1 is not true. i was actually very talkative and i even talked to strangers. maybe more than i should have.
3 is not true. i actually didnt like spaghetti because when i ate it once in day care I threw up. but i love it now, so no need to worry young marios.
herre we go! the last one of 2008!
1. when i was a kid i loved the taste of ketchup and rice
2. when i was in college i once cooked just a bag of stuffing and ate a significant portion of it for a few days
3. my favorite thing to order from taco bell is the 2 chalupa meal with a pepsi and a hard taco.
good luck!

a post on your blog, Jeremy
"I need a post on my dead blog and a way to get the others to post again, please help me out"
Dear "the others",
Please help Jeremy. He needs it. The beautiful blog you created is dying and like a dog you kicked it. You used to make lovely posts filled with words and punctuation. All that's left is a shadow of a simpler time. I plead with you that you turn off WOW or youtube and log in to your old friend, [enter blog name here] and write something. Just for old time's sake. And forget about the DHARMA initiative just this once.
love,
Jared and Calvin Unite [to bail out]

for jason's xanga
you requested a bailout for your xanga and is too big to let fail. here it is
a poem for your xanga:
an ode
when she is around, i know that she is near
when she is away, i dream that she is neat
the day brings her smell in the air
the night brings her warmth 'neath my sheets
oh gaseous cloud, you are like art
oh puff of stench, you are a fart.

you're welcome

Mock Draft - Round 3
Quick recap:
This was a no-brainer. I thought, "What character is so quintessential to the protagonist that the game would be completely defunct with out it." Hence my pick. Items alone makes it the absolutely best side kick of all time.
Pick #19 - Calvin selects The Bench from Madden 2008 - Bench
If you look really closely its the bench right between Randy Moss and this poor Miami Dolphin. This bench supports the team despite their losses. Every Sunday it's there to take the kicks the slams the 300lb men. Best. Bench. Ever.
Yoshi, the true sidekick of Mario. First of all, Yoshi helps Mario get to places a lot faster whether it is by foot or by flight. Secondly, Yoshi helps attack for Mario by breathing fire while Mario just sits on his back relaxing. Thirdly, Mario literally kicks Yoshi in the side to get him to move (hence sidekick). Finally, the biggest reason Yoshi is the best sidekick: the Yoshi Sacrifice (see above photo).
Scottie Pippen dominated NBA Jam. Cheapest character of all time. How could you be good at speed, 3 pointers, dunks, and defense? If you can have the opportunity to have Scottie Pippen coming off your bench, how could say "no"? Whoooooaaaa, jams it in.
That commentary. THAT COMMENTARY! SO INSIGHTFUL! Plus he has such good tips on how to run the game. 4th and 68? ask madden: "punt" BRILLIANT!!
It looks so familiar... does anyone know where this is from?
I want a player that has initiative on my team. I want a player that has no problems telling leaders that they are wrong. I want a player with guts, determination, and brains. Unfortunately no such player exists, but Leerooooooooy Jeeeeeenkins is close enough.
Yeah, this guy definitely belongs on the bench.
That concludes our video game character draft! Perhaps there will be another draft in the future. Maybe. Not. Not. Double negative implies a positive answer. Not. Not.
| Position | Jared | Calvin |
|---|---|---|
| Male Protagonist | Mario | Michael Jackson |
| Female Protagonist | Link? | Samus Aran |
| Villain 1 | Sephiroth | Bowser |
| Villain 2 | Blue Shell | Shao Khan |
| Supernatural | Kratos | Zombies |
| Animal/Monster | Pikachu | Sonic |
| Sidekick | - | - |
| Comic Relief | Chu-chu | PaRappa the Rapper |
| Utility | Master Chief | M. Bison |

Pick #18 - Calvin selects Katamari from Katamari Damacy - Sidekick
This was a no-brainer. I thought, "What character is so quintessential to the protagonist that the game would be completely defunct with out it." Hence my pick. Items alone makes it the absolutely best side kick of all time.
"Oh your sidekick got 200 coins? Mine collected 10000 pieces of candy, 1059 cars, 503 cows and oh yeah a freaking island"
Pick #19 - Calvin selects The Bench from Madden 2008 - Bench
If you look really closely its the bench right between Randy Moss and this poor Miami Dolphin. This bench supports the team despite their losses. Every Sunday it's there to take the kicks the slams the 300lb men. Best. Bench. Ever.
Pick #20 - Jared selects Yoshi - Sidekick
Yoshi, the true sidekick of Mario. First of all, Yoshi helps Mario get to places a lot faster whether it is by foot or by flight. Secondly, Yoshi helps attack for Mario by breathing fire while Mario just sits on his back relaxing. Thirdly, Mario literally kicks Yoshi in the side to get him to move (hence sidekick).

Pick #22 - Calvin selects John Madden - Bench
That commentary. THAT COMMENTARY! SO INSIGHTFUL! Plus he has such good tips on how to run the game. 4th and 68? ask madden: "punt" BRILLIANT!!
Pick #23 - Calvin selects This Character - Bench
It looks so familiar... does anyone know where this is from?
Pick #24 - Jared selects Leeroy Jenkins - Bench
I want a player that has initiative on my team. I want a player that has no problems telling leaders that they are wrong. I want a player with guts, determination, and brains. Unfortunately no such player exists, but Leerooooooooy Jeeeeeenkins is close enough.
Pick #25 (Compensation Pick) - Jared selects Bethel Johnson - Bench
Yeah, this guy definitely belongs on the bench.
That concludes our video game character draft! Perhaps there will be another draft in the future. Maybe. Not. Not. Double negative implies a positive answer. Not. Not.

a response to the recession
In case you haven't heard, according to the National Bureau of Blog Research, blog nation has been in a recession since the end of November. Some attribute the blame to the increased workload at school and work, others point to rise the family time during the holiday season. We won't know for sure the exact cause, but our blog strongly believes that the recession is a result of a lack of blog ideas. As a result, our blog will focus on releasing a blogonomic stimulus package in the coming weeks in hopes of jump-starting the lack of blog posts as of recently.
The details of the stimulus package won't be released for a while because Calvin has not written it yet (nor does he know he's supposed to write it yet. He will know when he finishes reading this sentence). It may be tough times, but I encourage everyone to keep blogging.
