a blog about nothing
so much for the new blog format. we are cranky from the heat and have no good material for the blog. well, we had material on monday night, because there’s always material when tbrizzle has too many mojitos, but there’s no photographic evidence. we can tell you this much though: he didn’t rub chicken into ms. ulty’s hair or dive over an entire sidewalk cafe like he did after saturday of sectionals last year. those were good times.
so instead of a compelling narrative detailing the exploits of misses cas/ulty and the rest of our blogging crew, we’re posting our email conversation about how we don’t have anything to post. i think i saw a seinfeld episode like this once. we’re sure you’ll be as amused by our casual banter as much as we are. you aren’t? what’s wrong with you? and here’s a pic of morgan and prof. berg under the couch fort in ms. ulty stairway for good measure. you two and sister zibby are the best ever for helping me move!

p.s. i heard a remix today that paired snoop dogg with the flaming lips, with a little bit of will ferrell doing his robert goulet to spice things up. it was good and made me think of jess and brownbear and also mama lauren and her ‘goulet goulet goulet’ ringtone.

Ok, I’m calling all of you out now. Someone post. I’m tired of looking at Falconer’s ass.
It doesn’t have to be a good post. Just a post. Maybe even about Ultimate.
brownbear
Post- Colorado Cup one coming fo sho. I’ve got nothing else exciting to talk about.

i think ms. ultimate is going ot post about moving. i was gonna post about our cookout on monday and tbrizzle making salad cocktails but i dont have any pictures so it wouldnt be as funny…

i’m a little cranky this week, so anything i write is going to turn into a rant that may or may not get me fired.
my office has been overrun by corporate douchefaces this week. i wish i had a little video clip of this one guy walking around; i want to punch him the nuts, but i also can’t stop laughing at him. he wears these pleated dress slacks, and i swear he’s got the belt line halfway up to his nipples. and he’s a little guy, and he’s got this weaselly sales guy voice, and short-man syndrome strut. it’s hilarious and depressing all at once.
and the AC gave out on tuesday, and it’s hot as balls in here.
and they blocked all web mail access, but i hacked a work-around that, for the time being, allows me gmail access.
tbrizzle
that pretty much blows. i’m sorry to hear that. blocked web mail access? did we lose a war?
chuck daniels
I agree…that sucks. I’m inclined to post your email. That was pretty f*ing hillarious to read.
miss casual
seriously.. thats not america. thats not even mexico.
can we just post this email convo? i acutally love your rant and think it would be great blog material. no one knows its you…. you have an alias..
ms. ultimate
I lost the battle, but not the war, against my landlord today. I think we could all practically get our insurance to cover drinks at happy hour tomorrow as part of the mental health clause.

Bjorn is WAY funnier than I remembered him being when I was in college and he was sort of coaching Northwestern. I don’t know if he’s changed, the definition of funny has changed, or Northwestern has changed (for the worse ever since Mike D started coaching), but one way or another, Gunder *earned* his job as color-commentator on the Sandblast DVD. Could he possibly top Baker’s commentary from two years ago? Forecast: 100% chance. I’ll bet Baker does a better Harry Caray though. “Would you rather play in the finals of Sandblast or have mad cow disease?”

You guys have insurance?
Even china lets me access webmail….most of the time.
Maybe I’ll try to write something about Beijing summer league with some photos this weekend if it interests you all.

yes please. blogging from china would be greatly appreciated.

Brady, you run into Slovan / Cho / Zahlen / Yujuan out there? How big is mainland China anyway? I was looking for Singapore on a map of China, but I couldn’t find it. Is it close to Bangkok?
August 3rd, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Slovan and Cho I saw in Shanghai (they had a tournament). I also saw slovan in a tournament near beijing when Cho couldn’t make it. Cho came to visit peggy and I about a month ago, so we talked a bit then. Zahlen I see all the fucking time since he is in and out of country and we both are in the same city (Beijing). I have no idea how big China is, Im not sure anyone does….I guess it depends on whether you give them credit for tibet and part of mongolia. I think Singapore is in Western Africa, but I could be wrong….nope google confirms it, western africa…right.
I feel like an ass, should I know Yujuan?
August 3rd, 2007 at 7:07 pm
Yujuan went to U Chicago but graduated in ‘05 or something. She’s a youngin’. You probably don’t know her. I can’t think of any reason you would. She’s smoking hot though. If you were to rake her ass on a hundred it would EASILY be a 94.

I ain’t raking nobody’s ass first off. Second off, where in China is she? It’s fun running into people over here. This guy Wilson (from Northwestern) just showed up this summer and Peggy sees him wearing a shirt she designed about 3 years back for the taiwanese ultimate team. She goes over to ask him if he played there and all of a sudden they recognize each other. He somehow ended up finding out she had taiwanese disc shirts online when he was visiting NW as a prospie. He actually swung by our apartment in Hyde Park 2 years ago to buy one on the way out of town. Fucked up. Hell, he might even be reading this while he is also in China. Double fucked up.

She’s in Singapore.

Remind her often not to get caned.
