Post-Thanksgiving Update

Greetings and welcome back to The Un-Zone, the only site on the Internet (that I know of right now) devoted to all things related to Un. It's time for a post-Thanksgiving update, because this holiday season is all about the "giving" instead of the receiving. You all should give thanks that I am giving you this post full of Un-ishness instead of foolishness. Bad wordplay aside...

Thanksgiving was good. Ate too much. Watched too much football. Did little in studying. Unless you consider debating the merits of certain run plays on a third and short to be studying or even intellectual in some way. Then again, if you are a certain college football coach *coughh* Mangino *cough*, you might consider this the next time you play against one of the worst run defenses in the nation. That and coming up with a better pass defense plan. I guess that Mangino was thinking more about hitting the buffet line instead of Missouri's offensive or defensive line. Though I'm sure he made steady gains in gaining three hard-fought yards down the buffet line to get to the paydirt, the carving station.

Well, the political situation in Washington DC is becoming messy. Sam Brownback, who is one of the two senators from Kansas, is exploring his options in running for the role of President of the United States. That, my friends, is an interesting story. But it is made even more interesting by his comments on a Sunday morning politics show. I think it was This Week with George Stephanopoulis or something like that. He mentioned something about getting tested for AIDS. It was one of those Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moments. And I think it was for political pandering to the voters, you know. Sound like a responsible person by showing people how easy it is to get tested. Make people aware of the dangers of STDs like AIDSs. But I came up with the more funny reason. After all, if you're going to sell your body to the public and screw them in multiple ways, like any responsible worker in the sex trade, it's required to get tested for STDs.

The Jayhawk basketball team redeemed themselves from a loss to Oral Roberts and a sloppy win against Ball State(what's up with the teams the Jayhawks are playing? Oral Roberts...Ball State...there's a bad sex joke in the making already. Just toss in something about dribbling balls up the hardwood, shooting prematurely, and well, I made up one already.) by beating Florida. Good job. Now don't fall flat and come up short against Dartmouth. Sorry. Another bad one.

NaNoWriMo 2006 is about to end. I updated the Gray Hall site with another update to this year's contribution in novel writing madness. I have a few loose strings to tie up and it will be finished. I have to admit that I had to use a bad deus ex machina to get this finished. You'll spot it if you read it. Not that I don't have confidence in you actually knowing what that Latin phrase meant.


That's all for now.
