Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap and then some
It'd be easier for me to tell you what is not in this blog than what is
Thats how jam packed it is

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in my workboots
And ruined your black tie affair

Bad Mornin, No Good
nmurder made his unexpected return to WVU early Monday morning around 5 in the morning. All hell then commenced to break out as nmurder attempted to logon to the university's network to make his schedule for next semester. I will now begin to number everything that went wrong.
(1)After hooking up the laptop, it was discovered that internet connectivity on the laptop was nonexistent. My time was running out, scheduling began at 7:00 and we were approaching 6:50 (2)The University's tech support decided not to have their business hours until 7:30, guaranteeing that all my classes would be gone by the time they fixed my internet (3) So I switch gears and make a move to mikes laptop hoping for luck, he did not have a powercord so I improvised and jammed mine in until it fit (4) So its around 7:05 now and guaranteed all the good classes I need are non existent but I still have a chance to find my third or fourth choice. Until...The screen popped up asking me for my PIN. My what? Where the hell do you get that, I couldn't find it, a few phone calls and 20 minutes later I have my PIN and if there were covers on my bed, I would be sleeping right now. I decided to go ahead and schedule anyway just for the hell of it. (5) I reach the course page finally and instantly get kicked off, (6) then I am forced to refresh my page and that brings me back to the beginning (7) I finally do get my course selections in and find out that they are all full. Its only 8:00 and the day is hell already.

Backyard Brawl Line
The line for tickets was actually longer the game. A little over three hours was spent in the mt. lair with SammyJo, a somewhat sophisticated West Virginian and the biggest hillbilly I have met down here. He was wearing a nascar hat so that pretty much says it all. Three hours with these people. Three hours, I watched as my geology, english, and half of my geology lab passed right by me. I needed to get a haircut when I got out of line because my hair was out of style, ditto with the clothes and I actually asked somebody who was president.
The line was longer than the hayride line, but just as hillybillyish
Here are some quotes from are Wild and Wonderful friends from West Virginia
"Are big news was when that there Wal-Mart opened its door dahn by exit 99"
"I hate goin back home, theres also something to do, paint the barn, mend the fence"
"When you gots to test that darn thang, to see if the electric is on, you got two ways to do it, you can either grab a hold of that there thing or get yourselves a big ole stick and wet it dahn reaaal nice and see if that there fence zaps it"
"Paint my chicken coup"
"Is this appalachian heritage week or just a redneck festival"

Talk about slick
Already an hour late to my lab, I stroll in under the radar, sign the attendance sheet then house someones lab writeup, and get get outta there in less than 15 minutes.

Back to my weekend in Picksburg
I was outlawed from Travis until I cut my hair, so I managed getting through the week with my hair intact by hitching rides from anybody possible.
Saturday
ESPN College Gameday, an experience every college kid should have to attend. My VTech shirt was put on a pole and hoisted through the air. Pictures are on the way of course. And Lee Corso topped it all off by predicting Pitt to win and putting the Panther head on. A ride back was hitched with Ritters Vocelli Pizza Mobile. Watched West Virginia come back and knock off Boston College, in Boston, 35-28, there was definitely difficulty breathing in the final drive, but the mahntaneers held on. Headed back dahn Heinz Field to work the Pitt Vtech game. I was put in charge of a stand, and it was about 2 degrees out. Pitt knocked off Tech on a last minute touchdown, setting up a showdahn for the backyard brawl. I consumed four footlongs and nearly a dozen bratwursts ontop of all the not so hot chocolate.
Sunday
Stiller game, very strong tailgating today, tickets were only going for $125 outside, finally the stillers win. I feuded with the old head in are stand. "Will you tell that curly haired kid to stop eating the food and sell it" "Hey old head why don't you put on some gloves"

nmurders magistrate sentencing day has been moved back to Tuesday, investigators are still gathering statements but avoiding the court date appears impossible. Check out Court-TV, this may go national.

Alejandro Sanchez Mispronounced Word of the Week
This one easily defeats the rest, nothing comes close
Copper was Cooper today,many many times, over and over. He just could not get it right
But that's not even it
He spelled it that way to
On the board, Cooper, instead of Copper, three times
"Alejandro, I don't think that answers right, its Iron not copper, wait that's not even copper, you spelled cooper, it says cooper, look"

Doug Flutie is incredible, he juked out two black guys on one of his two touchdown runs against the Vikings. He is so short he has to jump when he throws the ball and he's 41 years young. Still there is not a quarterback that wins more games with less physical attributes as Flutie.

Remember Fan Man?
A nice remembrance of him on Sportscenter today, He is the guy who flew over the Evander Holyfield, Riddick Bowe fight with a fan, and then flew over an Oakland Raiders football game and Buckingham Palace. It was sad to learn that he committed suicide recently but he will forever be known as the biggest non-athlete sports spectacle of all time.

Best Blog on the Network poll is heating up, thanks for all the support and the votes
It looks like its gonna come dahn to npocs blog and robos blogo

Tonight, the hype begins
Its that time of year and you know what that means
Turkey Bowl IV
Emanating from the frozen dirt/grass/broken glass field of Anderson road field, 18 kids through the muck and mire will battle the elements, each other, and themselves for the better part of Thanksgiving morning to decided who can call themselves Turkey Bowl IV champions
The Miller Genuine Draft is tonight, be online and let me know if you want in as a spectator. It is 8:30 with Paolo and Jef as captains.

Don't ever take a day off from class. It sounded like a good idea on Wednesday, but now that I haven't been to a non-test class since Tuesday morning it doesn't seem to smart. But rest assured I shall return.

For pappa
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Thanks
