Mark, the Great White Bootyologist

Friday night at the Landmark

Overheard in the locker room at SPAC

High School Boy #1: "Dude, what should we go as for [some girl's] Halloween party?"
High School Boy #2:"...[thinking]...We could be robbers."
High School Boy #1: "No, that's lame."
High School Boy #2: "I know! We could go as gay guys!"
High School Boy #1: "Yeah, the girls would think that was so hot!"

What's Going On

In the past week I've:

--Dropped my BlackBerry into the toilet while drunkenly fumbling with my purse.

--Laughed my ass off at Jon Stewart pimping Jimmy Dean chocolate chip pancakes and sausage on a stick. It's so funny, he riffs on it again later with Kirsten what's-her-face that I can't stand. (The riffing begins after the 4 minute mark in the last video.) I love you Jon Stewart.

--Had an ackward exchange with an ex that I haven't seen in over two years. He's fat and depressed now. (Seriously, if I don't recognize you when I see you, why continue to wave at me like you want to say hello when you really don't? Weird.)

--Eaten Jello shots with Eliina while she and I study for law school and the GMAT, respectively.

--Flown to Phoenix for a client meeting and ended up reconnecting with a high school friend that I haven't seen in almost 10 years. We ended up drinking at the many fine establishments near the ASU campus. So far, its the only place I've been where I can get two Grey Goose and tonics for $5.

--Cried in front of one of my bosses. Has anyone else ever done this?

Question of the Day

A random guy on the CTA approaches a man seated next to me. He spoke in a thick Russian accent.

"So, tell me something about Halloween. I see it all over. Can you answer this? Is Halloween Republican or Democrat?"

The seated man burst into laughter.

Giving A Whole New Meaning To "Go Packers!"

Republican Secretary of State candidate in Wisconsin releases lurid tell-all about her days as a Green Bay Packers groupie.

The lede on this one is pretty priceless:

MADISON, Wis. - Sex! The Green Bay Packers! Sex WITH the Green Bay Packers!

The View from Wisconsin

We were a little outnumbered in the stands...














...amidst the sea of red...















They had some...interesting...fashions...















This is where they stick the Away team (not actually our seats, thankfully)...














This is how we played:

Cleo comes out!

...MISS Cleo, that is...

I should find the content disturbing...

...but what amazes me most about all of this is that a congressman can't spell.
