Advice

Never... EVER... EVER drink 4 Henry Weinhards and 3 Thomas Kempers in the course of under 2 hours.

You will feel terrible.

I'm writing this from the fine city of Pleasanton, CA in the East Bay. I came up to celebrate one of my best friend's birthday, and will be staying through New Years day. Drop me a line.

San Diego State over Sam Houston State 79-78 in OT. Gave us a run for the money, didn't they? I wish I could have been there for this one. A last second tip-in from Billy White? That kid is gold. If this doesn't get us ready for conference play, I don't know what will. A bigger point margin would have been nice, but there is nothing better than knocking the undefeated off their pedastal, even if the team IS from the Southland Conference.

TO THE HOOP, AZTECS, TO THE HOOP!
Sequel 252E

Aztecs vs. Sam Houston State PREVIEW

Tomorrow marks the end of Christmas break for our beloved Aztec basketball team as they look to spoil Sam Houston State's 11-0 season. Aztecs are currently 9-3, and I think it would be spectacular if we could get a nice home win before we go into conference play next Saturday (Jan. 5).

Says goaztecs.com:
"Sam Houston State has been winning ballgames by an average of 17.2 points, while limiting its opponents to below 34 percent shooting from the field and less than 26 percent from beyond the arc. Among its 10 wins was a signature victory over Texas Tech, 56-54, and a win over Fresno State, 68-57, both at home. For the season, SHSU is 3-0 on the road with decisions over Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Saint Louis and Texas Southern. This is the first-ever meeting between the schools and the first meeting for the Aztecs vs. a Southland Conference member since the 2001-02 season when they took on Texas A&M-Corpus Christi."

Personally, I could care less about the statistics. As far as I'm concerned, SHSU is just another team that has yet to feel the wrath of the Aztec Empire. I'm going to miss not being able to throw off my shirt and stomp around when Kyle Spain and Lo Wade drop a bomb on Sam Houston himself. The term "Southland Conference" is about as intimidating as the single-ply toilet paper they keep at Cox Arena.

Hopefully a few Epsilon men can head to the game. I'd be there, but I'm a bit stuck 150 miles to the north. I guess that's the way it is sometimes. I'll be watching some college football with my dad and eating wings and drinking ginger ale. As punishment for such lazy dieting, I'm sure to get an indigestion.

GLORY GLORY MIGHT AZTECS.

Boxing Day + Maggie's first word

I hope everyone had a fantastic Boxing Day.

I'm always surprised that America hasn't caught on more to Boxing Day. Here's why.
1. It involves leftovers. America thrives on having the freedom to box up what they don't finish so they can finish it later.
2. You get to eat more.
3. More time to spend with friends in a food coma.

To be honest, it sounds a little bit like Wings Dudes Sports Day.

Any who... if you find yourself watching the Simpson's movie, stay for the credits. More importantly, stay for the part where the Simpsons are facing the screen. Maggie has her first word. And this word is the most marvellous, fantastic, beautiful word of all words that could be articulately rolled off of a tongue and into the ears of a most attentive listener. It is a word that has been known to inspire artists, strike composers with that "final note," and cheer on Montezuma's legions to a towering and dominating victory over the Tabby Cats of BYU. What is this word?

Sequel 252E

2-0 to the Arsenal

Normally I would not mention a sports team other than our beloved Aztecs, but it should be known that TWO Arsenal fans are blogging for the respective houses of AGO and ADX.

1. myself
2. Italy (ADX)

Aztec-Arsenal connection. The red and white support the red and black.

Merry Christmas

From all of us at Alpha Gamma Omega, Epsilon chapter, we wish you a merry Christmas. Celebrate Jesus' birth! Eat, drink ginger ale, and take lots of pictures.

Here's a picture of me this fine day.


Merry Christmas!

Shox and I made the 202.0 mile trek from San Diego to my house today by way of the 15 to the 210 to the 118. It adds a bit to the journey, but it much faster than taking the 5 at any time of the day.

My mom fixed us a fantastic rib roast, complete with green beans, potatoes, and salad. Washed down with a Coke Zero.

Afterwards, Shox and I exchanged stories with my parents and watched the AGO DVD. They loved it.

I hope everyone has had safe travels to their Christmas destinations, whether it be in San Diego or hundreds of miles away. Shox and I made fantastic time, completing our trip in under 3 hours. You can't beat that.

And oh yeah... Christmas Vacation is funny EVERY TIME. Especially on consecutive days. No room for haters. That's something a pl*dge would do.

On another note, there really is nothing quite like home cooking. I bid you goodnight.

Sequel 252E

Bare bones

It's 3 days before Christmas, and only a scattered few of us remain. By tomorrow even less.

But fear not. Even from my vacation up in the 805 I shall continue to bring you tales and news of our beloved house. You don't sign up for a blog and then not keep it up. Pluto isn't going to stop just because it supposedly isn't a planet anymore. Neither am I. BLOG ON, EPSILON.

Shox and I are going to grill some steaks tonight. BYOM and join us.

Sequel 252E

Scrum's house

The BBQ at Scrum's was a great success. Myself, Shox, Nikko, Nasa, Scrum, Marmot, Dickory (Kappa), Pyro (Kappa), as well as Pyro's brother and his friend all attended.

The meal consisted of:
-3 rib eye steaks
-3 feet of sausage
-multiple chicken breats
-carne asada
-Coca Cola Clasic
-Dr. Pepper
-Chips
-Corn
-Beans

Everyone left full of food and stories. Scrum's house is going to be the location for the New Year's Party being put on by a few ADX girls. Report to 2008 muy rapidamente.

Sequel 252E

Man-beque

A bunch of us are heading over to Scrum's house tonight for some grilled dead animals and hopefully consumption of some carbonated liquids.

Let's talk about Scrum for a few moments.
-Scrum is native to Cape Town, South Africa
-Cape Town is home to famous surfing spot J-Bay, where you can get a right handed point break 365 days a year
-There are a lot of Great White Sharks in the waters surrounding South Africa, thereby legitimizing its nationhood
-Scrum pledged in Fall 05 with Reed and Melee, the Beta Epsilons
-He was house manager and vice president over his three active semesters
-He is engaged to Mustang (ADX), and they plan on being married in May
-Scrum appreciates a good guitar and sleeps 0 hours of the day

Keep warm, San Diego.

EDIT: Two fighter jets just flew over the house. Must be a party at SAE.

Off-season

This must be what it's like for sports writers during the off-season.

We almost lost the tri-fecta yesterday.
1. Our cable box is not working, so no TV.
2. Our DVD player is not working, so no movies via DVD player.
3. The XboX 360 nearly got the red ring of death for a second time, thereby eliminating movies AND video games, but it's back up and working again.

That sigh you hear is our active body thanking the heavens for still being able to play Halo, Assassin's Creed, and FIFA 08.

Sequel 252E

Droppin' like flies

Everyone is going home.

All almost all of the beta iotas have gone home, and a few of us here in the house have as well. Today I spent almost the entire day in the house by myself. It was rather lonesome, and had to cuddle with Rocko for company.

Get ready for our rush shirts for next semester... Shade and Shox are already putting the wheels in motion!

Sequel 252E

Christmas shopping

A bunch of us decided that it would be a good idea to do some Christmas shopping today. Thus, myself, Shox, Puck, Melee, Reed, Nikko, and Jaguar (ADX) rolled as far south as you can go in California to the San Ysidro Outlet mall. Even Remo hung around for a few before heading off to dinner with his pops.

The mall was in every way conquered. I know I finished off a few Christmas gifts for people, and even picked up a new hat for $7. You can't beat that.

We then went to McDonald's and slammed down some fries and Buck-Macs. For those of you wondering what a "Buck-Mac" is, I shall explain:
1. order a double cheeseburger off the Dollar Menu
2. ask the person at the register to add Big Mac sauce and lettuce
3. pay only $1 dollar for each aforementioned sandwich
4. enjoy your "Buck-Mac", aka a Big Mac that costs only $1




After arriving back on the Lindo, Shox and I went out to Target where we bought The Simpsons Movie, which a great multitude of us enjoyed later on.

It's raining again. Pray for everyone having to travel while it's wet!

Sequel 252E

Miss it?

It is at this point in the night, the first night back to the blog after a hiatus, that I would like to declare my undying and passionate man-crush on Suave.

It should also be known that brother Melee requires absolute and perfect silence in order to go asleep, yet does everything in his respiratory power to keep you from falling asleep. Irony? You be the judge.

Aztecs played some terrible basketball tonight against Navy. The first half was an absolute joke, as our beloved Red and Black couldn't make a pass or get a rebound to save a life. It didn't help that the refs apparently felt it necessary to call a charge every other time down the court. The second half (aka the final 10 minutes) were complete opposite. Aztec domination. If they had played like that the entire game, it would have been a 25 point victory as opposed to a 10 point. There was some good in the game, however. Kyle Spain is playing like a man. White and Gay are a dangerous combination.

It's good to be back.

Sequel 252E

Slacking.

I am a slacker. The AGOcast is ready, but I have to get the hosting rights from my friend so I can post it here. I am sorry for not having it done yet. Be patient, as it is worth it.

For now, enjoy the thought that if you are reading this blog, you are not a pl*dge in Big-I. That is an honorable thought.

Sequel 252E

Stay tuned

AGOcast #2 to be up later today.

Gotta finish studying first. Should be posted before midnight, though.

Sequel 252E

A humble request..

Dear God,

Please make our house warmer than it is outside.

Sincerely,
Epsilon

Snow day

Never try to go to sleep when the caffeine from your Cherry Coke kicks in. You won't have much success other than a few belches into your pillow.

We've had a snow day here at Epsilon. The snow ploughs should arrive at some point so we can make it into our house. We've started paying the neighbor children to salt and shovel the driveway.

Our unofficial Bible study is tonight, complete with Christmas worship music and speaker. We hope you'll all be willing to brave the cold and make it out. Starts at 7pm.

If you've any ideas for things to talk about in the AGOcast, feel free to drop me a line. I've got a few interviews line up, but sometimes the talking points are a bit few and far between.

That's all for now. In about an hour's time I'll be heading to Washington St. with Faux Shox to watch my beloved Arsenal Football Club. Irrelevant to this blog, but important daily activities nonetheless.

Sequel 252E

Better late than never

Sorry this is so late. 2 finals and a necessity of eating kept me away from the keyboard today. Sorry if any of you had to be hospitalized in suspense.

Most of us are neck deep in finals, there really isn't anything going on. Bummer. Must be something in the air.

Big-I is still 3 days away, but we'd all be pleased if it came a little bit faster.

KTHXBYE.

Sequel 252E

Reflections

Studying in the active room, that paradise where no pl*dge dare venture, I sit studying and drinking a fine draught of Henry Weinhard's root beer.

I place my ear to the mouth of the bottle. What does it whisper to me, you ask?

Big-I is only 3 days away.

Sequel 252E

FAUX PAX

Shox is looking to have his letters taken away after he was caught talking on his cellphone via bluetooth headset in the back yard.

It should be known that the only acceptable setting for such a device is inside of a car, or if need absolutely necessitates, at your desk while you are typing.

We are all disappointed in him.

Sequel 252E

Finals

Finals week has started and we here at the Epsilon house are all dealing with it in different ways. Lalo and Nikko are playing Halo III. Puck, Remo, Shox, and Reed are hanging out in the Outhouse. Melee is taking 4 finals today.

Oh yeah... and Marmot and I celebrated finals week by each getting a parking ticket for parking in our own drive way. New house, you can't come soon enough!


But on a different note, blogs will still come daily through finals week, hopefully with some regularity. I'm going to be in the library a good bit, but I'll be sure to keep you posted as to how we are all keeping each other from going crazy.

Countdown to Big-I: 4 days

Sequel 252E

LOL

ADX pl*dges have their letters and ours don't. And they are still a long way off for the beta iota class.

LOL.

Sequel 252E

Good afternoon

I thought it fitting that I wake up today at 12:30, and even then sit around in bed until about 12:45. In any case, it warms my heart to see multiple pl*dges clean areas around the house devastated by the malignant maelstrom of precipitation that assaulted our home/castle last night.

Ugly sweater/white elephant party tonight at ADX. Somehow ADX's garage room doors and toilet seats went missing. Must be a terrible ordeal for them. Apparently one of them was found, though. That's good. We certainly don't want our sisters to be in such a distress.

Sequel 252E

ADX Banquet

It's pretty nutty having AGO Banquet on a Thursday and then having ADX Banquet on a Friday. It throws off your whole weekend chronology. I keep expecting tomorrow to be Sunday, but it's not. Not necessarily a bad thing.

I don't know about you all, but I plan on sleeping to about noon tomorrow. Rain has that effect on me.

ADX Banquet was pretty alright tonight. The mingling was top-notch. Some speculation about a potential second blog, "Real WOMEN Love Epsilon." Just let that sit with you for a bit. Kinda brings a smiley to your face, doesn't it? The food was spectacular. My chicken danced its way from the pasta to my fork to my taste buds, massaging my palette with the delightful sensations that only poultry and parmesan can.

As it has often been before (and always should be), a man of the capital "E" was awarded the ADX Sweetheart. Jason "Blitz" Martin, you make all of our knees quiver. Did you see his suit tonight? He was feigning cougars the entire night.

Here again is the link to AGOcast #1. You can click the link and it will open/play through the web, or you can right click and download it right to your computer. Dink messaged me today and said that he had put it on his iPod for when he cruises around tomorrow. That alone tells you that you should, too.

Sequel 252E

Cloudy day + AGOcast #1

Another cloudy day, with some serious rain last night that must have occurred about two minutes after our Epsilon heads hit the pillow.

And here it is, the first of many, AGOcast #1. You will probably have to turn your speakers up fairly loud, but I should get the recording process done and into a routine pretty soon. Enjoy, brothers and sisters.

Features include a semester recap, banquet review, an interview with a pl*dge, and some movie recommendations. Keep tuning back, as these will be released at least every Friday.

AGOcast #1

Sequel 252E

Post-banquet wrap

Fantastic banquet. Reed went above and beyond the call of duty on this one. I was trying earlier to get Blogger mobile set up so I could do play by plays to my phone, but so far my efforts have proved fruitless. One day soon.

When there is time tomorrow a full banquet recap will be made, with pictures and everything. Until then, there are only two words that you need concern yourself with: DUAL GOON.


Get pumped for the podcast tomorrow. I'm going to try to have it done by ADX banquet.
Sequel 252E

Tonight's the night.

AGO Banquet tonight... hopefully Blogger doesn't wig out at denko's and I can upload some photos later.

Personally, I could not be more excited. My date, Ferrari, and I plan on makin' some heads turn. You don't know what elegant is until you see us tonight.

Keep in mind that awards will also be passed out tonight! Who is going to be awarded Athlete of the Semester? Will Nasa do the double and win Suicidal Soufflé AND Goon? Or will Puck and myself become the first dual-winners of the Perpetual AGO Goon Award? Could Shox the Sweetheart come out of nowhere, pull a Lance Armstrong and claim an unprecedented FOURTH Goon?

Reed has something cooked up for a center piece involving lima beans. As if that wasn't motivation enough.

We are also taking bets as to how bad the pl*dge entertainment will be. It couldn't be worse than the Beta Thetas, right?

Cheers for now, see you at 7:30. I'll be the good-looking dude with an even more beautiful date.

Sequel 252E

Beach Bible study + doughies

The final Bible study at South Mission Beach is always one of my favorite parts of the semester. It really helps bring everything to a close. You can't go wrong with doughies, either. A first doughie is an experience you never forget for the rest of your life. More than once we have received orders from other countries asking us to either send some or send an active to teach an aboriginal tribe how to make one. If we can get AGO Ministries to fund the trip you can be sure to see doughie making become all the rage in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Guam. Add it to your prayer lists.

(I had this whole well-planned blog complete with pictures from the night, but since the Internet decided to move at a pace equivalent to that of a pl*dge going through initiation, I had to scrap the idea. By all means, move at a glacial pace.)

Smelling of smoke.
Sequel 252E

Slow day

It's been rather slow here on the Lindo today. People just going to class, getting things done. Quill is stoked because he finally got Microsoft Office for Vista. Shox and I talked a bit about how worthless Microsoft Access is. Apparently he said it can actually be useful, but I think that's a load of crap.

Reed is getting ready for a clarinet choir concert. Shox wears huge dress shirts, as Reed found out when he had to borrow Shox's.


Like I said... slow day.
Sequel 252E

Fantastic

The power is out in the back bathroom and the Outhouse.

I knew there would be something else to upadate.

Sequel 252E

Misspellings + House Devos + Aztec Victory

My sincere condolences to those whose names I have misspelled. Sometimes even AGOblogger can have trouble with words.

Wings 'N' Things again delivered, and then Marmot again delivered a fantastic message about the Good Samaritan and Mephibosheth today. We must be sure to reach out and love our neighbors as ourselves, even if the world tells us not to.


That being said, DEATH TO HIGHLANDERS. The game was not very high scoring, with Aztecs winning 59 - 46. Classy performances from Lorenzo Wade and Richie Williams. I am continually impressed by Richie, more and more every game. You can really see his passion for the red and black, which goes a long way for the rest of the team. When he and Lo step up, the rest of the team do. We've got a good young foundation this year, hopefully meaning some bright years ahead. Aztec basketball has a bright future. Props boss Fischer for another solid night from the coach's perch. You can't help but feel confident with him at the helm. He's probably the first person that has ever been associated with the University of Michigan that I can honestly say I enjoy looking at.

Time to go empty out before I go to the gym with Puck. Maybe one more update before bed? We'll see. GLORY GLORY MIGHTY AZTECS.

Sequel 252E

Bounty Hunter

Today the first ever AGO-ADX Bounty Hunter came to its finale, with an Epsilon man (naturally) Timothy "Nasa" Dombrowski claiming top spot. An impressive late run put him into contention after he killed Quill and Flamingo, finishing off his campaign with a now demised Chanel. Hats off for an impressive performance. We look to next semester to see if he can do the double and capture both semesters, or if we will have a new champion.

AGO House Devos tonight at 6 pm. I just received a text message from Marmot confirming that we will be going to Wings 'N' Things for dinner for some devo grubbery. My taste buds thank me, my digestive tract shudders in fear!

Sequel 252E

Podcast names + pl*dge manipulation

Starting Friday, tune back here for weekly podcasts about Epsilon and the goings-on of our actives. They will be recorded by me, but also feature interviews and maybe some special sections with other actives. If you like laughing, then you should probably tune in.

What I need now are suggestions for names for the podcast. I have a few, and I'll post them, but I need suggestions, too. Bad suggestions will earn a firm upper-decking, so make them good!

Names I've come up with:
EPScast
AGO-cast
Lindo-cast

In case you were wondering, tux the pl*dge was sleeping in the front room guarding the Nativity.

That's all for now. When something actually happens today I will come back and post about it. Quill is planning on drinking three cups of coffee this morning.


Sequel 252E

Beggars can't be choosers + Aztec basketball

Nothing makes us here at Epsilon happier than knowing that we have something that ADX doesn't, and desperately wants.

So far the list runs like this:
Brunswick Cup (and other previous bowling victories)
pledge names short enough to not require abbreviations
Inflatable Nativity scene

Offers of bribery... let me repeat that... BRIBERY have been made to Alpha Gamma Omega for the delivery of the Nativity scene. Members of ADX have even offered a re-vote of the Sweetheart Award to accommodate the Epsilon man who delivers the scene.


In other news, the men's basketball team takes on the Highlanders of UC Riverside. If all goes to plan, UCR will be renamed the Lowlanders after their defense feels the pain of the Aztec battle cries. Speaking of which, I need to get my scouting report ready to talk trash. The power of the warrior is about to strike UCR like a plane nose diving into a mountain with Hulk Hogan inside.


POLL QUESTION: What would you all say to the idea of a weekly podcast recorded by yours truly, the AGOblogger? Let me know by replying in the comments section.

Aztecs BOMBAYE,
Sequel 252E

The Grinches Trying to Steal Christmas

ADX wants to get our inflatable Nativity scene.

Tryin' to steal the birth of Jesus.

SHADY DEALINGS, my friends.

Sequel 252E

1 week left

As of right now, there are 5 days, one business week left of school before finals week.

Some of us are stressed to new heights, others of us are walkin' in dreamland like Tracy Morgan.

Aztecs lost in football, but avenged a loss from last year to W. Michigan by winning 72-61 at home. Can't go wrong there. It'd be pretty sweet to have a bit of a rivalry between these two schools.

4 days until AGO Banquet. Last minute suit preparations are being made, dudes are running around like chickens without craniums lookin' for the perfect tie and the right pair of wingtips. No hospitalizations yet, but it's only a matter of time..


It should also be noted that if you would like to donate any Christmas cookies, cakes, muffins, or assorted treats, we at Epsilon will gladly take them off your hands and find them a good home. We especially like those soft sugar cookies with the frosting and the sprinkles on top. Anyone bringing eggnog will be strictly and promptly turned away. Get that trash out of here.

Sequel 252E

G-Phi-B - AGO connection

Suave, Burton, and myself will be heading off to Gamma Phi Beta's date dance tonight to have some fun with our sisters in the Greek system. We have been blessed to become great friends with their house, and are very honored to have been invited.

Expect pictures of Suave and Carissa, Burton and Ashley, and Sequel and Sarah, all of us looking fabulous.


On an even more important note, Aztecs have a two sport assault today. First, BYU comes to the Q to battle mighty Montezuma (going on as I type.) Then at 7:30pm at Cox Arena, Western Michigan is looking to be destroyed by some Aztec basketball. If you don't have anything to do, you should make it a point to show up. MONTEZUMA OR DIE. WAR AZTECS.


Sequel 252E

Wings Dudes Sports Christmas

Welcome to Christmas-time at Epsilon. We decorate our house like a candy-coated Santa's Workshop. The pictures you see are of course preliminary, as we don't want to finish the season being outdone by our Lindo brothers Theta Chi and Phi Kappa Theta. More decorations are sure to come forward as the season progresses. Big ups to Jig for coming and helping out on his day off.

The night was started with some decorating, as you can see, but quickly escalated into more. Steaks were brought out and a barbeque ensued.

We then sat down and viewed the "It's a Wonderful Life" of our generation... "Home Alone." Colorful memories of booby-traps set on parents and siblings as a child as a result of this movie flood into our minds; all of us completely surprised as to how much we remembered.

It should also be known that tonight I wrestled Shox and forced him into a shrieking fit from me tickling him. I locked him into a tremendous hold and just went at it. I've never heard his voice so high in my entire life.

Bed time.
Sequel 252E

Goodness comes in a glass bottle

We here at Epsilon have gone crazy for beverages in glass bottles. I'm not talkin' about hittin' the sauce, but rather the finest sodas money can buy.

A few of us have become genuine aficionados of all beverages novelty.

Here are the tops so far:
Ginger ale: Thomas Kemper, Vernor's, Sprecher (known to AGO as "penguin")
Root beer: Henry Weinhard's, Thomas Kemper, Jones
Cream soda: Thomas Kemper Vanilla Cream, Henry Weinhard's Orange Cream
Freestyle: Reed's Spiced Apple Cider, Bundaberg Ginger Beer, Sioux City Birch Beer

So grab a bottle, grab a glass if you're partial, and drink it in. It always goes down smooth.

Sequel 252E

Rain vs. house

Rain always brings out parts of Epsilon men that you don't always see.  Generally... it means that most of us don't go to class and try to stay in the front room and keep warm as much as we can.

We also have big prayer circles to pray for the roof of the Swamp so that it doesn't cave in.

Sequel 252E

Porch nights

Just dudes sittin' on our deck with a fire going and some guitar to forget about the troubles of this world.  Break out a couple cases of Vernor's and Henry Weinhard's and you have yourself a perfect evening.

Puck and I started at about 10 pm and were joined by Crush, as well as Quill, Nikko, and Shox for a bit.

Talking to people walking by is the name of the game.  Maybe even play a few requests if the song is handy.  It's nights like tonight that remind us all how blessed we are to have this house and the brothers inside it.

5 hours later, here we are, cleaning up and ready to do it again tomorrow.

Sequel 252E

Water?

Well... the water was turned off.. but it's still working now... more fingers crossed.

Welcome to the desert.

It's official. the water has been turned off.  At the latest, we get it back in January, but let's pray it doesn't come to that.

As long as the weather stays cool it shouldn't be too bad.  Hopefully we can keep the tumbleweeds from rolling through the halls and the vultures from circling overhead.

Rumors are that a mirage of a water cooler has appeared in the dining room.  Still waiting on more facts to confirm or deny.

If worst comes to worst, we can always fandangle a contraption like Kevin Costner in Waterworld.  You know what I'm talkin' about.

More updates to follow.

Sequel 252E

Water

As of 9:05 am it was still on.  Fingers are crossed.

Reed's 21st BASH

You think you know how Epsilon does birthdays?  You have no idea.  It was as if the Ultimate Warrior himself bestowed his power upon the back yard, taking it from a cement basketball court into a wonderland of novelty beverages and fine music.

We discovered Rocko has quite a taste for ginger ale, and he was all over me tryin' to get at my Vernors.  PS: Get into Reed's (the brand) Spiced Apple Cider drink.  It's a good thing Shox saved some for Reed, or that case woulda been crushed right quick-like.

Big-ups to Jaguar, Suave, and Nikko for pulling an extreme makeover on the backyard.  The place looked like it was dipped in gold and coated in a fine white wine.

And so again, feliz cumpleanos to our boy Reed for making it into the 21 club.  SKYBOX coming soon?

WILLTHEWATERGO?

Sequel 252E

Meet the dog.

This is Rocko 247 1/2E.  He belongs to Puck and has been living with us here at Epsilon since September.

It should be noted that the correct spelling of Rocko is R-O-C-K-O.  It's not R-O-C-C-O, like many ADX girls think it is.  That's just silly.

In the above pictures you see Rocko in his natural state.  20 hours of the day, Rocko can be found lounging or recreationally poking around in the back yard.  He likes tearing apart the sofa back there and crapping all over said couch and our shed.  Often times it requires a pl*dge to clean up his defecated matter, for which they humbly volunteer, almost reluctantly.

The other 4 hours of the day, Rocko is a WWF Superstar on ritalin.  He can be found using the couches in the front room as a velodrome and wrestling ring, in which all of us are all too willing to join in some friendly combat.  He especially likes pinning you down and trying to eat your face with kisses and play-bite your hair off.

Rocko's likes: people food, wrestling, belly scratches, peanut butter, digging through trash cans, playing with golf balls, being chased by actives, sitting on couches even though Melee kicks him off

Rocko's dislikes: vacuum cleaners, saxophones, being left alone on a leash

All that being said, Rocko is one of the biggest blessings to the house this year, and we look forward to one more year with this awesome canine before he moves out when Puck graduates.

ONEMOREDAYTILTHEDROUGHT,

Sequel 252E

Happy birthday...

Happy birthday to Reed 249E.

The dude joins myself, Shox, Suave, Remo, and Quill in the over-21 club.

It should be noted that there are house devos in a little over 6 hours and more than 5 of us are not yet asleep.

Sequel 252E

Captured recap

If you weren't at Captured, you are a fool.

Here's a recap for those of you who partied with us, and the rest of you who missed out on the Armageddon of open mic nights.

1: The pledges.  Performed Jack Johnson's "Breakdown."

2.  Shox, Remo, Crush, and Puck performed a Rise Against song and an AFI track.  Give it up to Shox for opening our ears to a new realm of possibility from the former treasurer.

3.  The pledges, led by agassi, performed that one Souljaboy track.

4.  Crush performed some melodious accoustic jams.

5.  Nasa became the most loved active in AMERICA.

6. Versace painted the prettiest picture with words.

7.  The Pledge Class Heroes (now active, Beta Theta) reunion.  Colin "Quill" Lepiscopo pulled out all the stops and captured the audience as if he was Henry Rollins doing stand up.

8.  Melee merged Metallica and Psalms.  GET INTO IT.

9.  Puck, Remo, chops with a jazz trio straight outta a Miles Davis video.

10.  Kix shredded her axe and made us fall in love with Jesus all over again.

11.  DRUM JAMZ and more from PCH took us out once again.

Inside the house we had some gorgeous art and photographs.

So you see, if you weren't there, you should be cryin' in your sleep.  Tyrannosaurus Rage was unable to make an appearance due to line-up problems, but if all goes to plan, you should be seeing some hard jams coming from Puck and Sequel pretty soon.  But that is another story for another day.

In the meantime, Rocko continues to wreck shop in our backyard like a hound of Baskerville on steroids.  PUPPY RAGE.  Remember that time he crapped on the pledges sleeping gear after chalking?  We should give the dog letters.

Final Monday

Monday was straight ill.

Nikko got some rotisserie roasted chickens, along with an entire tray of scalloped potatoes.  Then, he and Lalo cooked up a delightful dish involving green beans and bacon.  This meal tasted fit for a god.  My taste buds nearly exploded with pleasure as I caressed them with poultry and legumes.

Voting results for next semester:

VP - Shox

Chaplain - Reed

Pledgemaster - Puck

House manager - Crush

Secretary - Darko

General meeting was an absolute riot.  Our pledges have no concept of what a good Christmas decoration is.  chops brought some blue and gold ornaments that were kinda tight, though.  ZORRO.

In the finest tradition, Shox got the Grunion Tie.  Reed thunder-owned him with a readback that came straight from the heart, inspiring tears from multiple actives.  Poor Darko had to seek counseling aftewards, we are still awaiting word from his therapist.  Shamefully taking his place in the Grunion Throne, Shox was given his noose... err... tie, and tried to cover his transgression by dumping a 3-liter bottle of soda on himself.  The pledges were masochistically performing self-mutilation upon themselves out of sheer disappointment in their pledgemaster.

Few of us have recovered from the night.  Be sure you peep out at Captured tonight.  It would mean a lot to us and to Darko to see a full house.

Time for class,

Wetting your appetite

Here it is, straight from the cutting room floor of 20th Century Shox Productions, the teaser trailer for the fall '07 DVD. Full release is December 6, 2007 at the Alpha Gamma Omega banquet. It's gonna be the hottest ticket in town. Clowns were straight turned away tryin' to sneak a peek at this visual juggernaut.

Give it up to David "Shox" Shokair for some stellar editing and what promises to be the best DVD yet!

(Be sure you notice that good lookin' fool at the end, chowin' down on some ADX Thanksgiving Feast.)

*It should be known that I was going to upload this video directly to the blog, but it straight wigged out at denko's and wouldn't let me do it. Needless to say, I went with the next best thing. Video is still ill.

Time to do homework. Recap of Monday coming after class on Tuesday.
Sequel 252E

Verification

Melee is in fact wearing the tie.  Good man.

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE THIRTYYYYYYYYY!

It's Monday.  Melee should be reppin' the Grunion Tie hard.

Final Monday meeting of the semester.  PULLIN' OUT ALL THE STOPS.  If the pl*dges don't finally figure out the definition to the word "entertainment" I'm going to flip out.

Elections tonight, too.  THE FUTURE IS ALMOST HERE.

And oh yeah... peep back here later tonight, as this will be the exclusive location to see the trailer for this semester's DVD, a David Shokair joint.

Final Exec

Final exec meeting tonight for Fall 07.  At Denny's, but we didn't get hustled like the last time we collected calories together there, so that was a real nice change.

I peeped the Heartland Scramble, and then shared some bonless buffalo strips with Shox.  Back bathroom... be advised.  The storm is brewing.

Hopefully our water doesn't get shut down.  If it does, expect up to the minute updates on the status of our dehydrated souls.

Our pl*dges are foolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  Get into that information.
