I was reading your blog yesterday. It's too bad most of that stuff is beyond me otherwise I could respond. Could you post something on there for someone stupid, like me?

For example, I think it is about time that we deported Yusuf Islam. I mean, was “Morning Has Broken” really that great of a song? And Ovation guitars suck! This guy had it coming ;)
There ya go, buddy. I've now posted something stupid. :P

Ahem. Sorry.

I'm not sure that what I write is over anyone's head. Hell, I made a South Park crack the other day. Beyond you my butt. For everyone else out there reading, this is the guy who explained to me how exactly it was that Enron screwed the little guy over. I still don't understand it exactly.

Anyway, as Jon Stewart said last night — if your name has the word “Islam” in it, you're gonna have trouble getting on flights. Or, in this case, staying on flights.

I'm just looking for the pattern. First Ted Kennedy. Now Yusuf Islam AKA Cat Stevens. My highly complex and slightly evil calculations (we're talking Lex Luthor fused with Stephen Hawking evil, in that the calculations are overly ambitious and speak via computer) predict that Gallagher is next.|||109595009514047331|||Gallagher Will Doom Us All9/24/2004 04:57:00 PM|||Blogger Scooter|||A week since I babbled on your blog! Dang it, there's just too much to do. I have been reading it, just not participating. How's it going, Joe? Did two strange women swing by your cube and linger, making you uncomfortable with their stares? That would be Lisa and Christy - they're Westies, and I told them about you and that I thought you were single and had a sister at West and sent them a picture of you from your blog, so they came to check you out. Scary, eh? Now you have to worry that EVERY person walking by your cube might be there to determine if you're dating material - that should make you paranoid.

I notice you have a link to a guy who games - do you play board games? If you do a couple of friends of mine get together to play board games and drink once in a while - Civilization, Axis and Allies, Settlers of Cataan, etc. Two of us, Sean (I think I introduced him to you as the tennis coordinator) and me, both work at West - his wife (Cindy) plays, mine doesn't (which is good, because I don't know who'd watch our 18 month old if she did) - the rest are my friends from elsewhere - Brainerd, Maple Grove, the furnace installation industry, whatever. If you're ever interested in a gaming day, gimme a yell, we can alway use an extra. - Scott9/24/2004 07:10:00 PM|||Blogger Joe|||Oh man. I didn't see anyone come by. I bet they came by and saw me rocking out to the iPod (got into it a couple times — cubes are like cars: they give the illusion of privacy), twirling my pen around my finger like an idiot-savant, or staring blankly into space. Or, better yet, all three at once. Hmm. Sounds like an idea for a povert vid.

I'm just impressed that they were interested enough to see me after seeing a picture from my blog. I mean, I've kinda gone for the low-brow comedy as far as pics I've put on here.

Haven't played any board games for a while. I might be up for that sometime.9/27/2004 11:52:00 AM|||Blogger Scooter|||Have you used StatCounter yet? Klund taught me about the site and in the free version you can kind of see all the IIS information about your site visitors for the last 100 visitors. So, this is absolutely frightening, but one of the visits today was a Yahoo search on the following keywords.

Yahoo ! povert dating /

You're that popular?9/27/2004 04:12:00 PM|||Blogger Joe|||Hmmmm. Very interesting. I checked out my own logs and found even more strangeness.

Your program doesn't give ip addresses for the client doing the search, does it?9/28/2004 05:54:00 AM|||Blogger Scooter|||StatCounter gave me this IP: 4.240.3.118
