Mmmmmmm Fried Sea Kittens...

lol @ peta.  this is just too good.  apparently fish are now to be referred to as "sea kittens".  I really can't stop laughing.  You can't make this stuff up folks.

Great video on the topic shown below.  Props to this girl for calling peta out on their retardedness.

Dodgeball - Week One

Last night marked week one of intramural dodgeball for 2009.  We have three teams this season - which is really exciting - and they were all in action last night.  Monstars had a tough go, but considering they hadn't played together before, were a man down, and playing FIJI, there was no shame in the loss.  Lasercats also lost, but it was another hard-fought game.  A-Team picked up a hard-earned W last night though, I was really proud of our team.

All in all, can't complain about week #1.  There are some improvements to be made, but a lot of it will come with experience.  Great job to everyone (and of course, thanks to our fans for showing up)!

I've also posted a highlight video of last night below, compliments of Adrianne (another big thanks here!).

Today's Question

This past Friday, I went with some friends to see Gran Torino (great movie, I'd recommend it if you can handle more than a few f-bombs).  "Becoming a man" is a theme throughout the movie...which made me think - what exactly does "being a man" mean?  I have a few of my own thoughts, but I want to know what yall think first.

So I ask...what do you think it means to be a man?

"Terrorists" Strike Al-Qaeda

In your face, Al Qaeda.  Looks like "what goes around comes around" holds true for you cowards too.  

Just last night, Al Qaeda terrorists in Algeria faced a silent, but deadly enemy- the bubonic plague - and lost bigtime.  According to one news report, AQ suffered at least 40 casualities from a virus of which most of the world is free (thanks to advances in modern medicine, which are made possible by the freedoms that groups like AQ fight against).  AQ simply does not have adequate medical supplies, and is suffering the consequences of it.  To further prove their cowardice (or their stupidity?), the AQ leaders fled in an effort to escape what was referred to as the "Black Death" when it hit Europe back in the 1600s.

A particular verse comes to mind..."for it is written, 'It is mine to avenge, mine to repay'," says the Lord". - Romans 12:19b

Plague 40, terrorists 0.

Doin us a Favor

Mr. Favors, I must say, you made the right choice.  About 15 minutes before tipoff of tonight's Tech-Duke game at the Thrillerdome (a 70-56 win by the Dukies, btw - lame), the nation's top recruit out of South Atlanta HS verbally committed to play for the White and Gold next year. 

If nothing else, this will bring some "hope" to the program and may silence CPH's critics for at least another year.  Granted this season hasn't exactly been spectular, but things have gotta be looking up for next year with Favors on the court. 

You've got to be excited about a guy like Favors who is an absolute beast down low.  In fact, in a recent game against Eagles Landing, Favors scored 30 points in just three quarters of play - no doubt with most of the ELCA team focused on stopping him.

I've posted two of his highlight videos below.  You can look up more videos here.

Congratulations on choosing Georgia Tech as your future home, Derrick!  We look forward to what you will bring to the table next year, even if it is your only year in the white and gold!
