ROOMMATE OLYMPICS 2008

THE ROOMMATE OLYMPICS (June 13-14):
Mission statement: to establish beyond a reasonable doubt the brightest star of the roommate & former roommate firmament.

Bounty: the combined pot of entrance fees ($10 per team), possibly a trophy

The Events: As you know, the roommate Olympics is by tradition, a two-day decathlon. The list below was compiled based on feedback, a balance of type, past enthusiasm, and feasibility. Everything should be self-explanatory. Pictionary/Charades was a pseudo biathlon mentioned. I was thinking you could decide whether to act or draw. Maybe before the clue is given. Non-competing organizers are listed where necessary.

Day 1 Indoor (we'll say Track day):
Mario Kart
Trivia Contest (org)
Pictionary/Charades
NewlyWed Game
Bowling


Day 2 Outdoor (we'll say Field day)
Horse
Dodgeball
Taboo
Egg Toss
Scavenger Hunt (org)

Scoring: for first 5 places (10, 8, 5, 3, 1)

I will Need:
-Your Pairings as a participants (submit by email). Right now I have from the 04 edition:
Gabi & Josh
John & Ben
Adz & Nad
Schwartz & Joe
Ashley&Sol
Dave& Hubert

-Petitions for/against events (There is no drinking game as of yet)
-The Emails of anyone else that should get this information.
-Anything else you think could spice up the event (opening/medal ceremonies, flags, Theme songs (anthems), food).


LET ME KNOW SOON SO WE CAN GET THIS WRAPPED UP. T-MINUS 2.5 WEEKS!!

Hilarious cuteness

Although, I must say that it is a bit sad to hear that this is the only female employee in a managerial position in this company.

Super Delegates

Can someone please explain to me what usefulness the super delegates are showing!?!?!? I mean seriously. This party is such an embarrassment it would be laughable if it weren't so serious. You mean after 21 debates, 18 months of campaigning, billions of pages of news, and 3 months and counting of grotesqueries passing for stories and campaigning that they are still undecided. What are these "party leaders" waiting for??? Could you be more gutless. While you're hiding under the bed in the fetal position, the party is getting cleaved in two. One candidate is turning an agreement she signed into a civil rights struggle and calcifying total oposition to her party's front-runner. The other candidate is reduced to a whimpering supplicant because if he says anything to challenge her he might offend her increasingly rigid supporters.

Isn't this exactly what the superdelegates were created to do?!?! They all are concerned that this is going on too long, meanwhile, by definition, it can't end until they say so. This is an embarrassment on so many levels it defies description. Now I remember why I was an independent until this primary season. The math hasn't changed since the end of February. They could have ended it then. Furthermore, then the 2 sides wouldn't have gotten so intractable, wouldn't have had to get so personal, so ugly, and so sidetracked by identity, association, and the continuing Victim Olympics.

Road Trip to Sconnie

Let the disasterous wedding trip planning commence!

Which is to say that the planning will be a disaster, not the trip itself, nor certainly the wedding.
