Stroh Me, Stroh Me!

Wow. This is a truly amazing invention. I would love to have one of these for Friday nights. Just watch the video. It's a Robotic Beer Launching Refrigerator.

Retreat to Camp Nazareth in Pennsylvania



If you don't know, I am currently the youth leader at my church. We took the guys on a retreat last weekend and it was a fun time. I've got some pictures up and a full rundown on the weekend at our blog (Youthodorx!), if you're interested. I just wanted to show a few pics here. Click the pictures to view a larger size.

Super Bowl Party Video

Big thanks to Joel for finally uploading some video of our Super Bowl Party. I've already written profusely about how fun it was. Here is my favorite video and it sums the night up pretty well. You can see the rest of them on Joel's blog here. He's got a few of downtown after the game. Thanks Joel!

Men Shake, Women Dab.

Okay, I recently heard something that just about blew my mind and I'm wondering if I'm just a moron or if this is really as ridiculous as I thought it was. This is an immature and inappropriate post, so don't get mad at me if you keep reading. You've been warned.

I have no idea how the conversation came up, but a friend at work was talking about how he had just gone to go "syphon the python," if you know what I mean. For some reason, somebody else had asked him a question about his method of "shaking the dew off his lilly," if you catch my drift. So it came about that he uses pieces of toilet paper to "dab his nab," so to speak.

Now, I know this is a common method for women, but for men? Come on! We're famous for shaking it "like a Polaroid picture," if you will. Seriously, is that not ridiculous, or am I missing out on some miraculous cure for the dribbles?

I couldn't help but be reminded of a similar conversation I've already had:

Colts News: Rhodes Arrested, Freeney Franchised

I don't have a whole lot to say about the two big Colts headlines this morning. Not a big surprise that Dwight Freeney got the franchise tag.

The bigger news and biggest surprise is that Dominic Rhodes got arrested for DUI. Dangit! From the Star's Vic Ryckaert:

Indiana State Police stopped Rhodes in a silver GMC at 3:02 this morning on northbound I-65 near 71st Street, near the Colts' Northwestside complex, First Sgt. Dave Bursten said in a written statement. Police said Rhodes was driving 81 mph in a 55 mph zone.

Marion County court records show Rhodes, 28, was arrested on an initial charge of misdemeanor operating a vehicle while intoxicated. His vehicle was impounded and is being stored at a lot in Speedway.


You know Dungy, Polian, and Irsay are not going to be happy about this one. Maybe Irsay will be a bit more forgiving, considering his experience with these situations.

At least it happened in the off-season and to a player who very well may not be here next year. It is unfortunate though. And they start bringing up every mistake he's ever made in the past. (Yes, I see the irony in the fact that I brought up crap from Irsay's past and he has nothing to do with this) Tough to be famous.

*Update*
And now there's this: Dallas Clark ejected from HS game

Worst Robbery Ever



Thanks to Deubs for sending this one out. This is really amazing. I'm having a hard time believing this happened for real. Watch this guy try to rob a grocery store. It's pretty funny and ridiculous.

MySpam #8: "Next of kin: Peabody"

This is the latest in my list of MySpam: spam emails that just crack me up. This one is hilarious to me on a number of levels. I have changed my last name in this version to protect the innocent, everything else remains as it was sent to me. Enjoy!

This is The Desk of Mr.James Tamba.
Computer/Telex Department United Bank
Accra ,Republic of Ghana (West Accra)

Dear Peabody,

It impresses me a lot to write you this letter which Ibelieve will meet you in a good condition. I am MrJames Tamba, the personal Attorney to Late (Mr Fredrick Peabody) Vaness who is an oil merchant in Ghana.In Monday, 31 July, 2000,my client was involved in a major catastrophic accident that took place in Paris(Killing 113 Passengers).Unfortunately Air France supersonic airline of the Concorde fleet caught fire upon take-off in Paris and crashed a minutes later killing my client. since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives and this has been proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace his relatives over the Elementary Family Search on the Internet before coming in contact with you. lcontacted you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my deceased client before the account get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank.

Consequently the bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the deposit
confiscated within a short time. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for about three years now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you bear the same surname, so that the proceeds of this deposit valued at ($7Million United) States Dollars can be claimed to share among us.

I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claim. All I require is your honest and kind co-operation to enable us see this deal through. As soon as i hear from you indicating your willingness to assist me, I will give you futher informations.imediately
Awaiting your urgent response.please

Best regards,

Barr James Tamba


I'm really tempted to contact him, just to see what happens. There's no harm in emailing him back is there? Except for maybe more fun emails?

I'm Ready for Spring

Okay, I love the seasons, but I've had about enough of winter already. My gas bill sucks, I'm tired of shoveling, I have a car that won't start, my parking spot gets snow plowed into it twice a day, it takes me over an hour to get to work now, and I'm cold. And I haven't gone sledding, had any snowball fights, or built a snowman. So there's really no reason for me to want winter anymore.

I'm looking forward to warmer weather and the inevitable IndyStar story on how potholes (pot-holes, pot holes, however it's spelled) are formed.

I was sent these pictures through email (got them last year too) as a reminder not to complain about the weather here in Indy. Thought I'd post a few of them here as a reminder.

2. Remove your laptop.
3. Start up
4. Make sure the guy who is annoying you, can see the screen.
5. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.
6. Then hit this link

Free Hugs!



Why not? What a novel idea in this society. If I didn't have a wife, I would rarely get a hug. This guy could change the world.

No Bears Fans Allowed!

I was recently reminded of something I already knew during this last Super Bowl: Few things are more annoying than fans rooting against your favorite team. We had a large party for the Super Bowl; a house full of blue and white die-hard Colts fans. We also had a single Bears fan.

If you've ever had to endure a big game while listening to somebody cheer against your team, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The Bears fan was a sweet girl who I already know and I know she's a great person. But I swear, to hear her celebrate when the rest of us were so upset (like during a turnover), is like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard. You could just feel that most of us were this close to punching her in the throat. I don't like to feel that way about a person, especially someone who I know is a great person.

I'm so glad the Colts won, because it would have been unBearable to watch her celebrate. I probably would have shot myself. Or her. Or both. Anyways, just thought I'd point out that fact. Definitely one of the most annoying things. Ever.

Anna Nicole Smith is Dead?

Breaking news: Anna Nicole Smith is dead. I wouldn't normally write about something like this, I just hope that people refrain from the obvious jokes and things that could be said. It's a shame and it's probably suicide or some kind of overdose.

It is ironic that she barely survived the man she married to get her fortune. I feel sorry for her kids and hope this doesn't turn into some big media fiasco. I'm sure it will though. The fact that I'm even mentioning it proves that. Anyways, you'll have to go elsewhere for details. Just please be respectful.

Colts Beat the Bears: A Super Bowl Celebration!


I've finally got a few photos to share from our Super Bowl party last Sunday. Many thanks to Rab for uploading them. He also has a nice little post on our party that you can read here.

First of all, a million thanks to Rab, Phil, and the Tickler for hosting an AWESOME Super Bowl Party. We had like 50 people show up and I know they put a lot of work into throwing this party. I know everyone had a great time and it was very generous of them to open up the house to pretty much anyone who wanted to come. Including a single Bears fan, which I'll post about later. So thanks guys, it was a night I'll never forget.

Also a big thanks to the guys who came in from out of town. As Rab mentions, we had Joel come in from Texas for the weekend to watch the game, AJ from Seattle, then Ike flew in from Alaska to be here for 17 hours, just to watch the Colts win. Thanks for doing that guys, it was awesome to see you there.

Then a big thanks to big J for letting fourteen people cram into his minivan for a ride through downtown after the win. We were on top of the van, hanging on the side, sitting on top of each other, and I think there were a few empty beer cans when we were finished (not mine), so thanks for doing that for us.

Now, on to the photos that help immortalize one of the best nights of my life. You can view the entire photoset here (which is worth seeing- Thanks Rab!).


Here's a picture of half of us in the van after the game. That's big Biscuit in the middle with the newspaper and Ike freezing his ass off the side.


Here we all are celebrating in a veritable mosh pit. That's my wife on the right hand side pushing April out of the way so she can jump into the middle of the pile. There's a video of that some where that I'll have to get uploaded to Youtube.


I love this picture. Me and my two old roommates who both flew in for the game. I'm throwing up the official horseshoe symbol for the Colts. At least it's official where I come from (Scruff, was that you who made it?).

Bears Fan Changes His Name to Peyton Manning

I still haven't verified if this is true or not (just got it emailed to me), but it's darned hilarious either way:

DECATUR, Ill. -- He says he doesn't want to do it, but a die-hard Bears fan is changing his name to Peyton Manning.

Scotte Wiese told friends that if his beloved team didn't win the Super Bowl, he'd take the name of the Indianapolis Colts quarterback.

He even signed a petition in front of 200 people last week at Decatur's Katz Piano Bar promising that he'd do it.


After the Colts defeated the Bears 29-to-17 on Sunday, Wiese started the process.

The 26-year-old Forsyth, Illinois, man trudged to the Macon County Courts Facility Tuesday and filed the paperwork. The change still has to be approved by a judge.

Wiese said he really cares about the team and that his sacrifice represents the true passion of Bears fans.


Quote of the day from Wiese: "...there was a little alcohol involved."


*Update:
Here's the story from FOXNews.com

More details from CBS

Pacers Deny Attacks on Bar Manger

Well, now Jamaal Tinsley and Marquis Daniels are denying any involvement in the fight that happened last night at the 8 Seconds Saloon. IndyStar is updating the story here.

They probably had nothing to do with it, but I still don't get why they have to go hang out that late at night and put themselves in a situation where something like this might possibly happen. I'm not sure how this will turn out, but I know Pacer fans are fed up with Tinsley's name coming up in these brawls and strip clubs and shootings. You can read how upset people are in the comment section of that article: Read here.

Pacers' Tinsley and Daniels Strike Again

While Indianapolis still celebrates the Colts Super Bowl victory, their Pacers are making the wrong kind of headlines...again.

Today's IndyStar has the following article: Bar manager says 3 Pacers hit him. I don't know much about the details and there will be an investigation, but why in the heck are these guys out at 2:30 AM after getting their butts handed to them against Golden State? It's ridiculous! Especially if you already have a history of being a moron late at night.

Unfortunately, Tinsley is worth too much to the Pacers to get rid of him. But I guarantee you that if they can move him, they will. The fans in this city will not take that kind of crap. We're way too "conservative" to condone this behavior. Especially after seeing how the Colts players can go an entire season, win a Super Bowl, and not have any late night incidents. And they only play games once a week.

Poor Pacers. You can just tell that this city is fed up with it. We'll see what happens. Winning changes everything, so they know what they need to do.

Dungy Reacts to Winning Super Bowl

Tuesday, February 06, 2007

Good Luck Indianapolis!

I'm off to try to drive safely home in this madness. Everyone please stay away from me and don't drive stupid. And I'm outta here...

HELP!!!

We're currently experiencing a blizzard here in Indianapolis and I'm afraid my genius employers may not let me leave early. This means I probably won't get home till around 11:30 tonight. If I weren't still so happy about the Colts winning the Super Bowl (and didn't have a mortgage payment, a wife and an empty bank account), I'd probably just quit and go home. Instead I'll watch the snow fall, covering the streets with a blanket of disastrous slipperiness, while daydreaming about quitting my job. I wonder what the odds of winning the Powerball are this week?

Colts Return Home for Parade and Rally


(photo from IndyStar)

Thousands of fans swarmed downtown yesterday afternoon to show support for their Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts. The Colts scheduled a parade through downtown Indy, followed by a rally in the RCA Dome. It was dang cold, people had to wait for hours just to catch a glimpse of the players, but it was well worth the pain. At least, that's what I heard.

Unfortunately, I had to work all day (a crime in itself) and didn't get home in time to participate. I'm so jealous. It sounds like the rally was just a huge love-fest between players and fans. Players saying, "Thank you to the greatest fans in the world!" and fans saying, "No, thank you!" Dang, I wish I could've been there. I've got the whole thing on tape and plan to watch it this afternoon.

So since I couldn't be there to say thank you..."THANK YOU!" to all the Colts players and staff. I know how much you appreciate me and how often you read this blog, and I just wanted you to know that I'm equally grateful to you and congratulations on a well deserved Super Bowl win. GO COLTS!

How Sweet It Is: Indianapolis Colts- Super Bowl XLI Champions


"It's not the biggest thing in the world, but … it feels great."
-Tony Dungy


It still feels like I'm dreaming. From the Bears' opening kickoff return for a touchdown, to right now typing this, the whole thing has just been surreal. I still can't believe the Colts won.

There is so much I want to say, but I just don't know how to put it all down. Last night was just awesome! Watching a game like that with fifty of my best friends (many from out of town and Ike flying in from Alaska hours before the game started), then going downtown to celebrate with thousands of other fans... Man, what can I say?

All I'll say for now is thank you to the Colts. I had so much fun this season and during these playoffs. It's amazing that a dumb little game can make for such great fun and fellowship. Like Dungy said, it's not the biggest thing in the world... but it sure feels great.

Indianapolis Celebrates!

This is a video of downtown Indianapolis after the Colts won the Super Bowl last night. I'm hoping to get a few pictures of when we were there. It was like this for hours. Check it out:

The Time Has Come: Super Bowl XLI

I don't know what to say. It's been an awesome month for Colts fans. I'll never forget this year and all the fun I've had. All I can say is: GO HORSE!










Ange & Andy Represent the West Coast- Holla!

Ange throws down her Colts pride from out West:

"Well... It is that time of year! A time of year that, well, I have never been so excited about before and actually could care less about the commercials! Although we are sad not being there to celebrate with our friends... the city... I just wanted to let everyone know we will do our best to represent from the West Coast! Ginger tried to buy a hat from a mall out here and they said they sold out of there Colts gear the day after the game against the Patriots(wonder how large of a stock they actually had?)! So I guess we won't be the only Colts Fans representing in the West:). Woohooo!

Go Colts....
Go Horse.....
Go Blue.....
Believe.....

However ya want to say it... just say it LOUD!">

Big John Throws in a Joke!

More Super Bowl Fun Friday! John sends a joke:

"Funny joke I heard today... Go Colts!

Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in a Chicago Park when a crazed Rottweiler suddenly attacks one of the boys. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his hockey stick, shoves it under the dog's collar, twists it and breaks the dog's neck, saving his friend.

A reporter is standing by, sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy. "Young Cub Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook. "But I'm not a Cubs fan," the little boy replies.
"Sorry, but since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were," says the reporter and starts writing again.

"Sox Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack," he writes in his notebook.
"But I'm not a Sox fan either," the little boy replies.
"Sorry, but since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were," says the reporter and starts writing again.
"Bears Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack," he writes in his notebook.
"I'm not a Bears fan either," says the boy.
"Oh... I assumed everyone in Chicago was either for the Cubs, Sox or Bears. What team do you root for?" the reporter asked.
"I'm a Colts Fan," the boy replies. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes:

"Little Bastard From Indiana Kills Beloved Family Pet"

Witness the miracle...witness...the Wall of Glory!

O.J. Mayo Is A Thug?



First of all, O.J. Mayo is touted as the next great thing in high school hoops. He plays for Huntington, in West Virginia.

If you haven't heard, he's getting a bad rap (basically being framed or something) as being some kind of thug. He supposedly hunted down a ref and attacked him.

This is a video of O.J. Mayo getting ejected from the game. Watch how the ref is totally looking for a reason to get rid of this guy. This seriously disgusts me. I'm just thankful they caught it on tape, so everyone can see how ridiculous this ref is. What a moron.

NFL to America: "Thou Shalt Not Watch the Super Bowl at Church"

For those churches making plans to host Super Bowl parties, beware: the NFL is watching. Apparently, it is a violation of copyright laws for a church (or anyone else) to use a projection screen to view the Super Bowl.

This is a huge mistake on the part of the NFL. It was bad enough that they wouldn't let Indianapolis have a showing in the RCA Dome. Now they're taking it away from churches and offices and people with large projection screens (TVs bigger than 55 inches are not allowed). I think this is bad marketing, bad public relations, and a poor business decision.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello says, "The network economics are based on television ratings and at-home viewing. Out-of-home viewing is not measured by Nielsen." Who cares about your stupid Nielson rating? I mean, seriously? Good grief! It's not enough to know that 90% of people who watch television on Sunday will be watching the game? And the other 10% are stuck in nursing homes where they either aren't allowed, or can't figure out how to change the channel!

The Super Bowl is THE televised broadcast event of the year (until William Hung makes it to the American Idol finals). Does it really matter if people watch it at home alone or in a huge group at church? What if everyone agreed to just leave their TV tuned in to the Super Bowl at home?

That's not the worst thing about this. The worst thing is that the NFL is missing out on a huge opportunity to win over a lot of fans. Church events and other places that would host huge parties would bring in lots of people who wouldn't normally care about football. Especially the womenfolk. After all, every good Super Bowl party needs food, and who better to prepare the food than the womenfolk?

Anyways, games are much more exciting in large groups, and it's likely that many people would think to themselves, "Hey! This football thing is kind of fun!" Then maybe they'd watch the regular season games too, and soon you have a devoted fan base that would have never existed if it weren't for the Super Bowl party.

This decision is a huge loss for the NFL. Hopefully they'll hire me as a marketing consultant and I will help change their minds. Until then, here's a list of restrictions from the NFL, if you're planning a Super Bowl Party:

1) No admission fees (even to pay for snacks).
2) Only one television (55 inches or smaller).
3) No use of the words "Super Bowl" in promotional materials.
4) No exhibition of the game in connection with events "that promote a message."


GO COLTS!!!!!

The Media Knows Nothing About Football, But it Doesn't Matter.

I won't waste my time here. Just read this article by Yahoo sportswriter Dan Wetzel. I agree with it completely (except his predction: Bears 21, Colts 20):
