I'm an excellent basketball player. Definitely buried the three-pointers.

Leave it to Ramona students to misbehave
Making a mountain out of a snowball:
Two Riverside students suspended for taking snowballs to school10:53 PST Riverside, Calif. (AP) -- Two Ramona High School students were suspended for bringing dangerous objects to school — snowballs.
Seniors Michael Sepulveda and Daniel Zavala, the snowball co-conspirators, made a pre-dawn run to the San Bernardino Mountains to fill their pickup trucks with snow and bring it to school for what they hoped would turn into an annual "bring Big Bear to Riverside" ritual.
They were suspended after a school parking lot snowball fight before the start of classes Thursday.
Principal Mike Neece said one of his most important responsibilities is maintaining a safe, orderly learning environment.
"Anything that disturbs that or disrupts that is inappropriate on a school campus," Neece said. "Anything that could cause injury, or could cause a student to get upset and instigate a fight, or damage students' personal property is just inappropriate behavior."
Zavala and Sepulveda were stunned.
"The school overdid it. In the handbook it does not say, 'Do not bring snow to school,'" Zavala said Thursday afternoon.
"It's snow," Sepulveda said.
Savala's mother Martha Valdez called the boys' actions "harmless" but said she supported the decision by school officials.
"They're still there to mandate the rules, and they have to draw the line somewhere."

My Christmas party is getting a little too quiet. What ever shall I do?
There's no place like the internet if you want to get a quick nostalgia buzz. I found an old "Mr. Microphone" commercial on
ifilm, and immediately remembered the younger males in the Shannon household talking major smack about the selling points of this product, i.e., that "professional entertainers" use this piece of crap; that dull parties will instantly turn festive once Mr. Microphone makes an appearance; because there are "no attaching wires, you're free to move around," enthusiastically demonstrated by our African-American friend; and finally, because it can play on "any FM radio," you can pick up "good-lookin'" chicks from your car. Did I mention my birthday is May 26?
And on the sixth day, God created Ken Ham
I was going to write a whole bunch of smart-ass comments about this guy, but I'll let
the article speak for itself, and let you guys have at him in the comment section. Have fun.
What's your ringtone?

Ginger or Mary Ann
I'm taking a class through UC Berkeley extension on writing about food. I don't think I'm doing well. At break, the instructor passed out ginger snap cookies and we had 5 minutes to write a short piece to describe the cookies as it might appear in the header of a cookbook recipe. So I wrote (and keep in mind I only had 5 minutes):
“In the age old argument, “Ginger or Mary Ann”, Ginger gets the nod here – providing just the right oomph to a cookie that clearly should not be castaway.”
No one laughed. It's tough when you throw something out there and it just dies...
This makes "Ziggy" look good
Never mind their phallic noses. Never mind that the woman apparently has square breasts. Never mind that they seem to share some sort of congenital disorder that makes their eyes bulge out. Just read the caption. This could quite possibly be the least funny cartoon ever published.
