So apparently after making this comment, a few people were disappointed of the lack of follow through with the post.  Although, most of my attention was focused on the game I still should have used my “smart” phone (I say smart phone even though it’s intelligence factor is only superior from the bag phones of the 90’s) to keep more updates flowin’.  So to you fans of mine, I bring you the following updates I SHOULD have posted during the Super Bowl (in no particular order). Please Note, all times are approximate, especially after that shitty halftime show.

The Game:

1) Jarrett Bush got to be captain for the Superbowl?? He’s horrible and shouldn’t even be allowed to captain a rowboat.

2) JARRETT BUSH I LOVE YOU!

3) I can’t even call Jordy the poor-mans Wes Welker anymore.  Welker should be privaledged to be called the poor mans Jordy.

4) THE GREAT WHITE HOPE DOES IT AGAIN!!!

5) Damn you Jordy, seriously you make James Jones look like a golden glove winner.

6) Take it back, you rule.

7) Take that back you suck.

8 ) Jordy, just when i think you can’t do anything any dumber, you go and do this… AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!

9) Danny Podell “Likes” Jordy Nelson.

10) James Jones will not be on the team next season, guarantee it.

11) It’s so hard to defend Jones when he continues to crotch-punch all of my hopes and dreams right out of me.

12) What’s the over/under on A-Rods total yards today? 5000? I’ll take the over.

13) Who the FUCK is Jessica Szorh?!? You’re a Superbowl MVP, you can do better than a D-List celeb. Just fly in, and take Jisele right out from underneath Brady.

14) I’m so happy that I can route for Brett Keisels beard again.

15) This game is giving me a heart att… what? Another batch of Chili Dogs are ready?

16) Ben Roethlisberger hasn’t had a BJ like that since his first offense.

17) 25 more BJ Raji jokes ensue, that’s what Cheesehead.

18) Put Clay back in Chuck’s place, and put Kevin Greene in Clay’s place, we’re all good then.

19) God damn Zombo, grow your hair out just like Clay and I won’t know who to love anymore.

20) *Throws on Championship Belt*LETS GO RODGERS!!!!

21) The state of Wisconsin has replaced high fives, fist bumps, and waving, with a single “Belt” motion.  Appropriate in all environments for all ages.

22) SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!!!! *Tears of Joy*

Commercials:

23) I will never ever buy a Bud Product but man, Miller-Coors needs to take notes cuz Bud defintely blows them outta the water every year.

24) Doritos making a strong push for some of the best commercials this year, predictable, but fu… OH MY GOD HE JUST LICKED THAT DUDES FINGER.

25) Oh Kenny G, I would say how far you have fallen if you were ever anywhere respectable in the first place.

26) ANOTHER Fast and the Furious? Just think, by next Super Bowl we’ll be seeing a commercial for Fast and the Furious 12.

27) We have a new favorite… Reply All for Bridgestone was hilarious.

28) New New favorite… Faith Hill Telafloral ad.  It’s perfectly acceptable to say Rack in that context right?

29) VW Star Wars ad… I’d say this is my favorite… IF I HADN’T POSTED IT ON THE FB 3 DAYS AGO!

30) Shouldn’t that eTrade baby be like 6 years old by now?

31) Thor looks awful. Captain America looks awesome… when are they going to do a live action Captain Planet ?

32) Eminem Chrysler commercial was a little corny, yet the same time I just got chills down my spine. Didn’t expect a serious ad to be in the running for my favs. (*This ended up being my favorite commercial)

33) I still have no idea why Kim Cardashian is famous but I definitely need to by some Sketchers.

34) Brooklyn Decker, Brooklyn Decker, Brooklyn Decker, Brooklyn Decker.

Halftime Show:

35) This is in the running for worst halftime show ever.

36) Did Fergie piss herself yet?

37) Is the special surprise going to be we finally find out what race that one Black Eyed Pea member is? (credit: Terry)

38) Odds Jerry Jones even knows who these guys are?

39) Will I Am. I DARE DARE DARE you to make a song that doesn’t use another song.

40) I wish Usher wouldn’t have been able to get that latch off and have to do his part tethered.

41) Look! It’s Troy Polamalu playing Sweet Child of Mine!

42) They need to sing Robots by Flight of the Conchords RIGHT NOW.

Celebration:

43) Heading to DT Madison.  Got the belt on, people love it, I haven’t stopped giving the belt since we walked outside.

44) The streets are crazy, the Capitol is Green and Gold, I LOVE THIS TOWN. (See Below)

45) Streets are insane right now! BEING AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!! GO PACK GO!!!

46) Wando’s is hoppin! MORE GO PACK GO!!! WAHHHHHHH!!!!!

47) Standing on the second floor and just had the entire first floor cheering for me when they saw the Belt. Some girl wants my picture.  There goes my 15 minutes of fame.

48) Green Fishbowl. I really wish I didn’t have to work in the morning.

49) Haven’t heard Green and Yellow OR We are the Champions yet, WTF!

50) Time to go home, Evan and Terry are both hammered. Sarge trying to finish the fishbowl on his own. I REALLY WISH I DIDN’T HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW!

51) Sarge is writing GO PACK GO on every car with snow on it as we walk home.  Either that or “Pussy”

52) Time to head home *drives by the Big Ten* better stop in here for a drink.

53) Cousin is here with an A-Rod home jersey (I have on my A-Rod away jersey).  A microcosm of our relationship is summed up right there, we’re related but yet we are different colors.

54) Trevor sportin his new Zombo jersey. Very tight.

55) 2:00.  I better go home so I can go to work in a few hours.

Bonus Post: Best. Night. Ever.

Well that about sums up what my status’ coulda, woulda, and shoulda, been during the superbowl, and if I would have spent the time writing each of these, I would have missed most of my night anyway. I hope you enjoy them.  Same time next year?

@ryangrant25 – Ryan Grant – Ankle injury, out for season.

I love being able to hear what the players say via Twitter just as much as anyone else, but my silly superstitious side says, stop tweeting!!!

In any event, at some point in the night Chowdah found himself needing to use the Little Boy’s Room, as anyone drinking prodigious amounts of alcohol is wont to do.  He eventually made his way through the crowd of drunken revelers, saw a man about a horse, and like any dignified gentleman in polite society, flushed.  At this point, “something” happened.  Details are sketchy, as the only person in the room was an almost blacked-out Bostonian, but the word I’ve heard is that there was some issue of concern with the toilet’s flushability.

As an upstanding and well-meaning citizen, Chowdah looked to rectify the problem and consequently popped the lid off the back tank of the toilet.  Unfortunately he followed it up like any degenerate alcoholic and proceeded to immediately forget what the hell he was doing.  Suddenly finding himself holding a relatively heavy tank lid, he obviously moved to quickly remedy the situation.  Unfortunately, the quickest solution was to toss the lid directly into the bathtub.

With a tremendous commotion, the lid proceeded to shatter into thousands of tiny porcelain shards.  To his credit, Chowdah immediately grasped the seriousness of the situation and hauled ass as quick as he could out of the bathroom.  Upon exiting, he ran into Mongo, who had hear the ruckus, saw the distress on Chowdah’s face, and determined that something had Gone Down.  Chowdah, realizing that other people had noticed things, tore off towards the front door.

(A little background is necessary here, I feel).  Chowdah is about 5 feel tall and routinely described as a “meatball”.  Not fat, certainly, but solid as a fireplug.  Mongo, conversely is in the neighborhood of 6′6″ or so and probably was carrying between 230 to 250 pounds of muscle at that point.  Physically, this was Goliath vs. David’s younger, smaller brother.)

Mongo, as any good underclassman would’ve, hauled ass after Chowdah.  It was sometime in the dead of winter, possibly January or February, and Chowdah had absconded without his winter coat.  By virtue of his long wingspan, Mongo was able to catch him by the back of the collar, but, as alcohol is the great equalizer, was unable to physically stop him and instead was dragged along in his wake as Chowdah began to initiate evasive maneuvers.  When Mongo described it later, he said he felt his arm jerk suddenly left and then quickly back to center.  It was at that point that he slammed headlong into the telephone pole which Chowdah had drunkenly dodged.  The resulting collision caused him to see stars and obviously lose his grip, and Chowdah spun drunkenly and unsupervised into the night.  After hearing the story, we were concerned, but ultimately not enough to leave the party.

One of the older tubas, Pecker, had not been out with us that night, and thus was heading back home alone later that evening/morning.  As he traveled back to the Tuba Haus, however, he saw someone leading a very familiar and obviously very drunk figure down the sidewalk.  As you might have guessed, it was Chowdah.  Calling out his name confirmed this fact to Pecker, as well as engaging the man who had control of him.

After catching up to and chatting, Pecker was able to find out that this random guy had awoke to find Chowdah, whom he didn’t know, rummaging around his house.  To Chowdah’s great fortune, he recognized that this was the kind of drunken trouble college students occasionally find themselves in, and instead of calling the cops he decided to help this wild inebriate find his way home.  Unfortunately for him, Chowdah was far past the ability to remember his address, and as a result they had been wandering the streets since that point.  Pecker assured the grateful man that he did indeed know this particular degenerate and would get him home.

The next day, we were able to get the gist of the story out of the meatball.  Apparently, in a misguided attempt to rectify his earlier transgression, Chowdah broke into what he “thought” was his friends house in order to take the lid from their toilet to replace the one he’d broken.  Once again, however, he fell victim to his base drunken nature, and once inside proceeded to rummage through the fridge in search of something to satiate his drunken hunger.  It was then that the guy discovered him, to his considerable consternation, and through some manner he was able to have a moderately useful conversation with Chowdah to get to the bottom of the misunderstanding and amazingly decided to help him out rather than call the cops.

Like any good story, all’s well that ends well.  I’m not sure if Chowdah did ever end up replacing the lid, although it seems likely.  However, odds are it was far from the worst crime we ever perpetrated at another band house in the name of drunken destruction, and it certainly wasn’t the last such occurrence.

5) Brett Favre – “Gunslinger”

I wish I could find a video of this one but I can’t.  (If anyone can, let me know!) Yes, I know I can’t even get through this one stupid post without saying his name, let alone ackowledging him but I personally loved this move when he daunted it.  After throwing the ball, Favre would pull out the “guns”, shoot em off at the receiver that just completed the pass, and put em away back in the holsters. A quick celebration, that always brought a smile to my face.  Can’t do that much now-a-days though, can you Brett…

4) Donald Driver – “The First Down Shake”

Nothing crazy, nothing overly cocky or difficult. But this simple shoulder shimmy followed by the first down signal, can get an already Packer crowd cranked to 11.  Although DD uses this move almost every chance he can get, he respects the move.  You won’t see this move if their down by 30. You won’t see this move if he got the first by a PI call. You see the move when the momentum is needed and the hard work has been earned. The move characterizes the player to a T.

3) Charles Woodson – “The Pose”
I would LOVE to give this the number one spot, but football be damned, I just can’t. Yes, the first time I saw the pose I was only 6, and it wasn’t even Chuck, but it was another former Packer (And my favorite during his brief stunt with the team)… Desmond Howard threw down the Heisman pose after the punt return vs. Ohio State. Fast forward to last year at Detroit on Thanksgiving. Woodson gets the pick-6, and throws it down. I literally shed a tear. The celebration, deservedly so can’t be broken out all the time, but the downside to this, it will never be my number one.

3) Aaron Rodgers – “The Belt”

I LOVE this move.  The champion deserves to don the championship belt, and the belt fits A-Rod just fine.  Only brought in the rarest of occasions, we generally see the move after a rushing TD.  I wouldn’t mind seeing this one a little more often either. Here’s one brought out just for the fans,  HOLY TORNADO!

Clay Matthews – “Predator”

His old move of the bow and arrow was good, but the Predator is legendary. I could get used to watching this all year.

Kevin Kolb

Trent Edwards

On Deck: Jay Cutler

In the Hole: Shaun Hill/Matthew Stafford

1) Everyone – “Lambeau Leap”

Obviously the number one.  Signature for the franchise, it has become a way of life for the Packers.  Everyone wants to do the leap and get $8.00 beers dropped all over them.  The move is so embodied by the franchise the jump has become an illegal form of celebration everywhere else EXCEPT in Titletown. Created by Edger Bennet, made famous by Robert Brooks, the move is now a stable to the community. The latest famous leap was a not-so-great one but when the leader of the Pack, A-Rod does it… it doesn’t even matter.

So there you have it folks, was this a worthy top 5? How would you have graded it? What would you have added?

P.S. Bonus A-Rod clip because I can.

Three months ago I co-owned my own website company, working on small and middle class business websites. I was living the dream of running my own business, making my own hours, calling all (well, at least half) of the shots. When people asked me how the business was going, I would say it’s going great, and I loved it, and it was the honest to god truth. Not every person can say they ran there own business, especially someone at my age. But alongside living the dream, came harsh facts of reality. The reality was bills don’t pay themselves, the economy doesn’t have a double standard, and Uncle Sam is always HUNGRY.

I now am the eCommerce Content Coordinator for the largest printer parts seller in Midwest and California. We have five buildings in the U.S. and one in Canada. We just opened up another distribution center in Toronto and granted the recession may hurt everyone, we’re still standing tall. I moved into a marketing team department, working mainly with the online shopping area, SEO, SEM, copyright, and general web updates. I’ll be honest, as much as I love and now miss designing… I love online marketing. If running my own web design business wasn’t my first choice, this would be it.

I am also using this move as my scapegoat as to why I haven’t been on here in so long. Trust me. I’ve wanted to. And at first it was due to how busy my life became with the new move and new job, but after that wore off, it was pure sloth. But, I will try to be on more and more. In fact, I’m looking into getting writers….hmmm….

For those of you who don’t even know what Trivia is, let me do a quick rundown. Every year the college radio station WWSP 90FM puts on this little contest for 54 straight hours of some of the most obscure, challenging, and insanely thought out culture questions known to man. The contest begins Friday night and goes straight on until Midnight on Sunday. On the outside, the comprehensible contest looks like a comic-con convention. A demographic mostly consisting of couch potatoes who live in their parents basement, taking notes on every television show they see… hardly the case. Those more serious teams may help the stereotype of the hardcore nerd, but don’t knock this thing until you’ve tried it. Trivia is some of the fun you may ever have.

This year was the 41st contest and brought in a total of 414 teams, representing over 11,000 players, located mostly in the heart of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, but not limited to the world via online play. My team was located in Plover, which is a few miles south of Stevens Point, a very doable drive for running questions, stones, or most importantly, the downtown bars. It is an intense weekend, not for the faint of heart. I moved two Friday appointments to the following week specifically so I could get into town in the afternoon rather than the evening. Cue up Friday…

Friday 4 P.M.

I arrived at HQ. No one being at the house, I found out they had head into Point to watch the Trivia Parade (Yes, there’s a parade) and catch up with some of the 90 FM staff. I forgot to mention this… my team is called the “90FM Staff Infection” specifically known for being a team of former 90 FM staff members and alumni. While they are gone I proceed to check out our digs. It was our team captains’ mom’s house, which was proceeded to be shelled out because she was in the process of moving. Ton’s of space and working internet, very clean… not your typical college house by far, I was already nervous about spilling my beer on the floor.

I drop off a few of my things and look in the garage. Stacked up are roughly 15 cases of beer and two mini kegs of Grolsch. Fun fact #2, one of our team members works at MillerCoors. Boom, beer is set for the weekend and I proceed to pop open a high life bottle. After feeling kind of awkward drinking a beer by myself in a house where the owner probably has no idea who I am yet, I decide to quickly finish and head into town. I just miss my team as they have already head back to the house (great timing) so I catch up with a few 90FMers at the station. After a while I head back to HQ to see what’s up. The team is there and we’re ready to go.

Throughout the entire weekend there probably was anywhere from 9-12 people participating, but there was a general core besides myself that never left. They were as followed:
Cdubyatron: Team captain, also provided the swanky pad that we would be housed in over the weekend. 90FM alumni now living in MKE
Megatron: C-Dubya’s girlfriend and former 90FM alumni. Lives with C-Dubya down in MKE
Meathorse: Remember all the free and plentiful beer I talked about earlier? All thanks to him. Works at MillerCoors now, former 90FM alumni.
Amanda: Meat’s GF, lives with him down in MKE
Sarge: I don’t know how Sarge got talked into playing but he was there the entire weekend, coming up from Madison. Friend to all, likes to drink.
Dan M: I personally don’t know Dan too well, but he was probably the most hardcore about the contest out of everyone. Without a doubt, if not for him, we wouldn’t have placed nearly as high as we did.
JMFH: JMFH drove in from Minnesota. Former 90fm alumni. The only one of us from the station that actually works at a major corporate station. Tells me the corporate world is brutal. I don’t doubt it.
Shanda: JMFH’s girlfriend.

Friday: 5:58PM
What better way to start the contest than shotgunning a beer. What better beer to do it with than a can of Mickeys. Fun fact #3: Mickeys does come in 12 oz cans. Shotgunning one was a poor choice.

Friday 6:00PM
Hour 1 Question 1: We didn’t even listen to the question. The answer is Robert Redford. In tradition with the contest the first question of the contest is ALWAYS Robert Redford. It could be asking what actor was in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ,who is banging your mom, who is jumping out of a 12 story building. Always Redford. Congrats team, we are 1 for 1 and batting 1000. We will never get to say that again for the rest of the contest.

For the next few hours it’s the fairly typical, eat, drink, and play trivia, fairly standard among almost all teams. I have decided to break open a bag of sunflower seeds and see if I can fill an entire cup before the end of the weekend. More on that later. JMFH decides to break open a bottle of Goldschlager, and about half of us take shots. JMFH, then proceeds to take two more. We’re all on our way and a few more people show up to visit and see how we’re doing, it’s a good time. More shotgunning beers. Then JMFH has to do a trivia focus.

Friday: 10:00 PM
A trivia focus is simply put, the stations way of breaking up the end of each hour. They will randomly call a teams phone number and interview them. Afterwards splicing up the interview in a way that makes it a little more humorous and then places it on the air. Seeing how most of us were former staff members, this call was surely to hit us at some point. JMFH finally gets a call and he proceeds to answer the questions being laid out for him. Keep in mind, most of his bloodstream by now has tiny gold flakes running through it as well. Now I didn’t hear all of the focus but the parts I did hear consisted of JMFH saying that the first person to pass out in the house gets TBagged by everyone else. Then I heard the jokes on them because all of our nuts would be touching. Interesting thought process. Either way, I wasn’t going to be the first to pass out. Trivia focus was a great success. JMFH says nutsack on the air. Win.

Saturday: 2:00 AM
Sarge and I are trying to keep our sanity. Not sure why but our logical answer to this was watching Lady Gaga music videos. I am utterly horrified and stop watching. We agree that the Lady Gaga drinking rule is still established for this weekend. (Lady Gaga drinking rule founded by Boomer, a friend in Madison, if a Lady Gaga song ever comes on you MUST proceed to slam your drink in hand. No matter how full, or if freshly bought, you need to finish). Oh yea, we watched a lot of the Thundercat’s Snarf on youtube as well… like I said, we’re starting to hit the wall here.

Saturday 3:00 AM
JMFH has already passed out hours ago. Not sure if he got T-Bagged or not. Either way I was on my 4th cup of coffee and I was still falling asleep. Meathorse and Amanda had just cashed out a little bit before hand. Sarge was falling asleep on the keyboard, and I was about to do the same. I decide to pack it up and call it a night. I was sleeping at another friends house which was back in Point so I proceed to drive back into town. Not the most convenient but at least I got my own bed this way. I get back and instead of zonking out, the four cups of coffee decide to kick in now. I laid in bed staring at the ceiling for about an hour until I pass out, alarm is set for 7am. Three hours later, its time to get up and do it all over again.

Saturday 7:30 AM
I actually beat my alarm clock up and I head out the door. When I get back to HQ I find most of everyone is asleep yet minus Dan and Megatron. Apparently they pulled the all nighter shift and did the questions all night long. Hats off to them, I enjoyed my sleep. The two then headed to get some rest while everyone else proceeded to wake up and get back to trivia. I quick go grab a cup of coffee, which I then thought in my head was my 5th and 6th cup in the past five hours. I’m a goddamn animal by this point and apparently I’ve drank so much coffee that I’ve seemed to have warped it’s ability to put any effect on me.

Saturday 8:00 AM
Enough Coffee. I crack open a high life. Sarge, Meathorse, and Cdubya follow suit. Sidenote: Morning beer is awesome. Not only do you look like a badass but I think the beer tastes better as you watch the sunrise, and feel the cool morning air float in through the windows and hear the birds chirping. Total bliss.

Saturday 8:30AM
Scratch Morning beer as best thing ever. Cdubya just sacrificed an entire pig and made everyone bacon and eggs. Bacon and Morning beer. Best. Thing. Ever.

This morning was probably the best trivia I knocked out over the entire weekend. Now I usually am a good google searcher and can find the answers but someone usually beats me to it. Not that morning. I was on the ball and knocked out a crap ton of questions. One hour we even went 6 for 8 (eight questions per hour). I credit all my morning beers to my success.

Saturday 10:00 AM
Cdubyatron “Oh channel 7 is here”. This is how big the contest is, the news team from up in Wausau came down to interview a team. Why would they pick any other team? Of course they pick us and they interview Cdubya and take some awesome footage of the rest of us. I’m really glad they don’t show what time they came though, as if you watch the video of it, you’ll notice beer bottles everywhere. These aren’t bottles from last night either. These are freshly pounded or currently drank bottles. Miller really should just straight up sponsor our team because we just gave them free advertisement for the entire central Wisconsin area.

I later find out one of the coolest nerdy things ever. One of our teammates is on google earth. Yes, during one of google earth street camera views you can see him walking to class. Evan, who will soon come into the story, is a good friend of mine and I am so excited about the fact that he has been forever captured into google earth, I proceed to take a snapshot of it and post for the rest of the world to see. I think this is so cool mainly because it is one of my goals to be caught on camera if I ever see a google vehicle recording their streetview. I have yet to even SEE one of these cars and yet, Evan has been immortalized without even knowing.

Saturday 12 PM:
We break 100th place. This is a HUGE deal. Last year we placed 219 out of 430 teams. To break 100 with 414 is amazing, especially since our team is approximately 10 people and mostly drunk.

Saturday 2 PM
We unfortunately fall out of the top 100 and will never recover the rest of the weekend.
Sarge and I decide to go grab some stuff to grill. I introduce him to the mustard Arizona Heat. Yes, this mustard is so tasty that it deserves a piece in this article. Buy some now, thank me later.

Evan arrives. I praise him for his spectacular feat of being on google earth. He later tells me that, it has become his pickup line. “I have been on TV and google earth, wanna fuck?” By this time I am probably one of the least productive members on the team as I have now introduced the youtube video “160 greatest Arnold Schwartznegger quotes” to the group. The group is amused, but Sarge proceeds to quote the Arnold lines from that shitty Batman movie for the rest of the day.

Saturday 5PM:
By this point I have gone between participating from trivia questions, and yelling out random Arnold Schwartenegger quotes all day. I have had at least 6 different kinds of beer, (High Life, Coors Light, Hamms Golden Draft, Mickeys, and my weekend favorite Tyskie) and we proceeded to crack open the first mini keg of Grolsh. See kids, trivia isn’t just for nerds. It’s a heavy drinking weekend.. a weekend in which I’ve opened up my pallet to new beers!

Saturday 5:40:
Flipcup trivia break. Of course my team wins. Flip-flip-flip-a-delphia.

Saturday 7 PM:
I decide to take a quick power nap. An extra 30-45 minutes can be the difference between life and death during this contest. I find an air mattress upstairs in the room where everyone else was sleeping. It’s a long room that could be described as a livable attic space. It’s so far back from the rest of the living quarters I can’t hear a thing. I feel like Ann Frank.

Saturday 8PM:
Another 90FM alumni comes in for a visit. This time, through video Skype. Our old station manager Becca phones in from Colorado. It is all well and good to see her again, but Evan decides to take it to the next level. I have now seen Evan’s balls three times… and so has Becca.

Saturday 9 PM:
FRANKLIN ARRIVES! Backstory on Franklin Feltzberg real quick… Franklin was born 2 years ago when Cdubya got him. Frankin is a puppet. Two years ago our 90fm staff went to Las Vegas. When we were at the New York, New York everyone was doing there own thing. Most people were spending their money on little souvenirs or blowing it on the craps tables. Cdubya bought a puppet. Ever since he’s been around hassling people and being the unofficial mascot for 90fm. About a year ago, Cdubya let him free into the world for other people to use and share. After a year of being gone, Franklin returns home.

Saturday 9:03 PM
Franklin discovers Chatroulette. Any other day, chat roulette is dumb, and a good way to be grossed out for seeing far too many dicks. But with Franklin on camera, Chatroulette, was AWESOME. Me, Cdubya, Sarge and Evan easily spent an hour on Chatroullete while putting Franklin on camera. If you want people to laugh or actually keep them on camera for more than 5 seconds, a puppet chugging a beer is the way to go. Highlite of the event though was Franklin got flashed by a good looking girl because she thought Franklin was funny. Success.

Saturday 11:00 PM
Sarge, Evan and I decide to head back into Stevens Point and go to the bars. Evan is particularly animated about the idea. Before doing so we all finish the first Grolsch mini-keg and hit it with a baseball bat until it looks like a stepped on soda can. Time to go to the bars.

Saturday 11:30 PM
The three of us arrive at the first bar and the bouncer immediately says he’s this close into kicking Evan out. The funny thing is that Evan works at this bar. We later find out that the bouncer is a douche and nobody really likes him. I proceed to make fun of him the rest of the night. In retrospect, all three of us (Evan in particular) were a little out of control, but still, where does this guy get off saying he’s going to kick him out before we stepped into the door. Asshole. We ordered Point 2012’s which is Point’s newest flavored Black Ale, which by the way… DELICIOUS. Evan then proceeds to say the beers slogan “Enjoy it while there’s still time” after every drink.

Sunday 12:00 PM
On to the second bar… More of a club type setting, not my favorite but the drinks were cheap and the ladies were out. I caught up with a few friends that I saw while there and later discovered Evan tried his Google earth pick up line and failed. Onto the next bar.

Sunday 12:20 AM
Third Bar, more Point 2012’s. I decide to grab a Miller Lite to add to my beer list for the weekend and buy the three of us a round. The bartender forgets to take my money, score. Her loss for being stupid, but since I still feel for the working class, I tip her anyway. Now for as many girls as there were at the last bar, this bar is where all the guys mustve gone instead. Guy to girl ratio was easily 10-1. Sargest dream bar, I proceed to pick on his sexual preferences. (Note: Sarge isn’t gay, in fact he somehow pulled in a GF as of recently. Someday I hope to see her in person so I know she’s real).

Sunday 12:40 AM
Bar number 4: We need to get Evan back to the radio station by 1:30 so we set a goal of 2 more bars within the last hour. We arrive at the next bar only to find a jello shot girl. I distract her as Sarge sneakily takes some jello shots off of the platter. We’re assholes. I tell Evan and Sarge we need to head to the last bar if we’re going to get Evan back to the station in time, so we take off. Sarge takes more jello shots for the road.

Sunday 1:00 AM
Final Bar: Sarge orders us a round of Rum and Cokes. The drinks barely had a chance to hit the bar table when Lady Gaga comes on. Lady Gaga rule being enforced, we slam our freshly ordered drinks. Afterwards, I buy us a second round and order the bartender to give me the roll of stickers that have the bars logo on it. He does not comply, but compromises by giving my an armslength of stickers. This will do, as I place them on everyone I can see.

Sunday 1:30 AM
We get Evan back to the station in time. The reason we needed to get Evan to the radio station by then was because he volunteered for a phone shift from 2AM – 6AM. Phone operators are like what you would see during telethons, only they sit there and record peoples answers to trivia questions that called in. That’s right, for the next four hours, the guy that just told some girl he was on google earth and wanted to fuck, is now answering phones for the worlds largest trivia contest. Awesome.

Sunday 3:00 AM
Sarge and I head back to HQ and I head back to my friends place to crash for a few more hours. Night number two was another success. I fall asleep quickly this time around and get a solid five hours of sleep in. By trivia standpoints, five hours of sleep in a row is like 12 hours normally. I feel like I let the team down for sleeping that long and I rush back over to HQ to get some work done.

Sunday 9:00 AM
I arrive to see Evan passed out in the living room. Apparently he successfully handled his phone shift, and then biked back to HQ at 6AM, what a trooper. JMFH offers me some a morning beer. I take one but not as nearly as enthusiastic about it as I was at this time yesterday. I later compromise by pouring some whiskey into my morning coffee.

Sunday 2:00 PM
Team flip cup break. Again, not nearly as fun as it was at this point the day before, but none-the-less I man up and my team wins. You can’t expect anything less from me. Flip-Flip-Flip-a-delphia.

After this the rest of my story gets starts to fade into mediocracy so I’ll just stop there. I end up leaving around 7ish at night even though the contest didn’t end until midnight. I had those appointments that I moved from Friday to Monday so I needed to head back. Oh yeah, remember how I said one of my goals over the weekend was to fill an entire cup with my sunflower seeds I was spitting? Well one of my appointments on Monday included a dentist appointment. By Sunday my mouth was so raw from the salt from the sunflower seeds I had canker sores on my tongue. When I went to the dentist, they saw the cankers thought I had mouth cancer. I told them what was going on and why they were there (later they confirmed I was telling the truth) and they let me go. Fun times.

Our team ended up taking 143rd place out of 414 teams, a 76 place improvement from last year. Grand total of 8 hours (and some change) hours of sleep between Friday and Sunday. After one of the greatest weekends of the year, I was exhausted, but it is, and forever will be worth it. Its great seeing all my friends again and trivia is a time that can bring us together. Next year’s goal is to break 100 which we know is a very doable goal.

After watching these two videos for about 12 hours straight, I started to recall other music videos that I have loved to watch again and again due to some amazing cameo or celebrity feature.  So without further ado, here’s my KDA top 10.

10) Fiona Apple – Not about Love
Celebrity – Zak Galifianakis
This is one of those prime examples of without the video, the song is complete shit.  Zak MAKES this video. The now famous Hangover star shows his indie roots by lip synching “Not About Love” in this vid.  I’d kill for his beard.

9) Stone Temple Pilots – Sour Girl
Celebrity – Sarah Michelle Gellar
A very gothy SMG makes a trippy cameo in this vid.  So weird. Can’t stop watching.

8 ) Lit – Miserable
Celebrity – Pamela Anderson
Sex sells, so why not make a music video of a gigantic almost naked Pamela Anderson while a band sings on top of her.

7) The Lonely Island – J*** in my Pants
Celebrity – Molly Sims, Justin Timberlake, Jamie Lynn-Sigler
Funny song, hot girls, star studded cast.  Andy Samberg, you are a comedic genius.

6) Gorillaz – Stylo
Celebrity – Bruce Willis
I’m not sure how they convinced Bruce Willis to be in this hip video, but I’m glad they did.

5) Tom Petty – Into the Great Wide Open
Celebrity – Johnny Depp, Faye Dunaway
A very young Johnny Depp cameos in one of my favorite Tom Petty songs, of course, is there really a bad Tom Petty song?

4) Justin Timberlake – What Goes Around
Celebrity – Scarlette Johannson
Ok, I may be a sucker for Justin Timberlake (The guy is a triple threat), but if they put anymore production value into this one, it’s a multi-million dollar movie.

3) Vampire Weekend – Giving Up the Gun
Celebrity – Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, Lil Jon, The RZA
I’m a big Vampire Weekend fan, so there could be some bias here, but put more cameos in your music video than an Entourage marathon and you’re gonna get noticed. If you’re really savvy you’ll notice the lead girl in this vid is the same girl from the Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa video.

2) Weezer – Perfect Situation
Celebrity – Elisha Cuthbert
The story of how Weezer was born, well not really.  Funny and awesome. Personally, one of my favorite music videos to this day.

1)  Fatboy Slim – Weapon of Choice
Celebrity – Christopher Walken
As if you didn’t think it would be any other vid.  This music video not only takes the cake in the celebrity category, but possibly best overall music video ever.  Spike Jonze hit the nail on the head with this one.

Honorable Mention:

Fountains of Wayne – Stacy’s Mom
Celebrity – Rachel Hunter
Not the hugest name in the world, but she is the pinnacle of MILFs.

Blink 182 – Josie
Celebrity – Alyssa Milano
Alyssa Milano in a cheerleading outfit. Why isn’t this number one??

Aerosmith – Cryin’
Celebrity – Alicia Silverstone
Probably most girls rebel anthem of the 90s thanks to this vid.

Green Day – Wake Me Up When September Ends
Celebrity – Rachel Evan Wood
Long and sappy, but now everytime I watch it, I can only think of her as the Vampire Queen of True Blood.

Gnarles Barkley – Run
Celebrity – Justin Timberlake
The guy is everywhere, I couldn’t put him in the top 10 just because he was already in 2 of the 10.  Again, triple threat.

Usually heading to one of the regular places is good for a few rounds of drinks, watching the locals talk about the glory days, the douchebags be douchy, and the local talent thinking they’re hotter than they really are.  (Not saying my hometown is crawling with fattys and uggos, and there are some hotties, but I am saying most of these poor girls wouldn’t stand a chance in Madison, Chicago, MKE, etc, I’ll be nice and just give them all 6’s).  Getting back to the point at hand though.

This wasn’t a normal night in my town, and the bars were more crowded than usual, and this is why.  Every year my old high school puts on an “alumni basketball tournament” nothing too crazy and since it is a small town you normally see about an average of 6-10 teams.  What it really means though is that it gives everyone an excuse to come back into their old stomping grounds and tie one off.  Picture the night before Thanksgiving at your favorite bar only in the spring. An unofficial H.S. reunion.  Sidebar… my class got killed 51-22 in the tourney, but that’s not relevant.

Unlike many people I know, I am still very close to many of my high school friends.  Even through college, and living in different cities, and people getting into more serious relationships, we’ve always been really close.  That night while grabbing a bite to eat we decided we’d hit up one of the normal local bars that we always go to when people are in town, the River Rail. We had heard that some guy won the local sign in at the bar and pulled in $13,000.  Thanks to that he decided to let the bar drink on him for $1000 worth. $1000 worth of free drinks meant that the Rail would be awesometown and we had to go. Combine that with a 21^st birthday party being celebrated down there by the bosses daughter = more girls, and more free beer.  We headed over a little after 8:30.

Now, the way I have been describing my hometown makes me sound like I hate it here… that couldn’t be farther from the truth.  I love it; I just never really expected to be back as a permanent resident after getting a college degree.  Here’s one of the reason I love this town.  We got to the Rail at roughly 8:45 expecting to hit up the $1000 bar tab which started opened at 8pm.  Never underestimate free loading drinkers… we missed the tab… by a solid 20 minutes.  They opened it at 8 and it was closed out at 8:27.  As much as I was in shock and awe, at the same time I was not surprised and knew I just made a rookie mistake by not heading over right when it opened.  Come on rook, you know better.

I managed to find the 21^st birthday party section, and knowing the boss and his wife = an automatic in no matter what your situation is.  Free beverages and food was back on track.  After a few hours of this, you could tell that things were starting to fall into that dull déjà vu type of scene, and that’s when it all started.  Me and one of my friends Jess, from that strong core I mentioned about earlier, were chatting it up over to the side by ourselves, when we noticed another one of the guys talking to this older girl.  Not too much older, nothing obscene, but it was enough to grab our attention.

We immediately debated the chances of if she was going to go home with our other friend or not, whether she’s a slut or just randomly talking, and of course, how old she was.  I immediately said 28 to Jess and got the “how drunk are you” look right back at me.  Jess says, “over 30”.  Of course I shake that notion off as insanity and blame her vision on all the free beer.  After arguing about this amongst ourselves we finally come to this conclusion.  Overunder is 30,  loser buys the shots, and go.  I pick under, Jess picks over.  Now comes the hard part of how to find out how old she actually is… or is it really that hard? (that’s what she said!)

This is why overunder age is the best game ever invented.  Not only do you get to place in your bets, but guys, asking a girl’s age may seem intrusive and like a horrible way to start a conversation… but it isn’t.  Yeah it’s not the newest trick in the book but it’s got three constants every guy loves… gambling, drinking, and hit on girls.  I eventually went over to ask her age. She was 35, I lost. … or did I?  1) Gambled? Check, lost the over under but I got my bet in to the best my effort 2) Drinking? Check, lost the bet, buy the shots, but also take the shots. 3) Hit on girls? Check. Not only did we chat it up, but I won the flattery card by telling her I guessed the under.

More and more of our friends saw Jess and I doing this and before you knew it we had a full on gambling ring going on by our table.  You would place you bets, pick your poison and then, go find out their age.  We even did it with a few guys, to keep the girls of the game intrigued. In fact, I deem this a rule when playing Overunder age.  If you are with a group of only males, and you start approaching girls and ask for their age, it may be cute at first, but 2 or 3 times in, you’re just that creepy group of dudes that sits at the end of the bar.

It was probably the most fun I’ve had in a while when just staying in the small town for the night.  I loved the game so much I ended up going to a second bar after all my friends went home and taught the game with a group of people I met there.  The night was a huge success and it will be played again. Right after I finish out creating the great drunken scavenger hunt…
