Behold while I open many cans of whoop-ass!

Ultra Violence

K just sent this to me.  Not as sweet as John’s two-weeks-in-Florida gig, but oh well.  I’m a bit fan of the “$25 per day + expenses”… but Chris I’m afraid that a side-trip to Vegas wouldn’t fly.  could try, though?

Man, if I didn’t have a job…

That’s what Park High School (Livingston, MT) Principal Eric Messerli learned this past week.  Apparently in a good-old-boys joking around sort of way, he “was suspended for two days without pay and four days with pay for grabbing a Park High senior’s soccer jersey and pulling it over his head and giving the student a “wedgie” by pulling up on the waist band of his underwear. The incident happened on Oct. 5 at a junior varsity soccer game.”

I like how it’s “wedgie” in quotes.  Like “la-zor”.

The feature article on Wikipedia was about the number 0.999….  It’s definitely worth a read.
