Oh World Wide Walrus, What a Marvelous Thing You Are

So I've been really, really lazy with my blog post lately. In my defense I have been quite busy too, but mostly lazy. I actually started reading again and so I've forgotten how wonderful the internet is. Then I had Thanksgiving with the Scott family (Thanks again fro that I had a blast the food was fantastic!!!) and I was reminded of several crazy websites that are so much fun and that I needed to share.

By the way, the world wide walrus comes from Glenn Beck's Moron Trivia where he asked a convienience store worker what WWW stood for and he couldn't come up with the last W, and so Glenn Beck told him it was walrus, and the guy said, "oh yes, that's it."

Anyway, website #1!

Website #3

You thought waking up the king was creepy, try the subserviant chicken!

Website #4

Ok this is not the funniest website in the world, but it's super cool because it has almost every sports logo ever. Including this one that would have been the Nordiques new logo if they hadn't become the Avalanche in '95.

Thanks for checking back this week. I promise I will get a post about the World Series even though I'm sure no one cares about it anymore, but I still do and I got some great pictures.

Be Cool, Stay in School Kali

So tonight is the night of posts, which is because I've been a little behind. I'm also sure you are all dying to know what I have to say about the Rockies. I have to finish getting all my pictures uploaded, but hopefully I'll have something posted this weekend. I've also changed my colors back, but that's mainly cause I miss them, not because I'm disappointed about the Rockies.

Now to the point of my blog. Kali I know you hate school, as stated in this blog post, however, I was sitting at boring work today, angry at the stupid people who don't know how to read, and I just was thinking of all the reasons why school is awesome.

Here are the top 5:

5. You get to sleep in. I miss sleeping in more than anything. Since I've left school I can't even sleep in on the weekends. I have to wake up early, and it's horrible. Also you may miss the Office, but you can watch the Price is Right!

4. You get Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off for Thanksgiving, and 2 weeks off for Christmas. I can't be home again this year for Thanksgiving because we're on the same schedule as the stock market and the day after is not a holiday. Maybe I should become a teacher.

3. You can wear comfortable clothes. Now I know you are always looking fabulous, but if you want to just wear a t-shirt and jeans one day, you can!

2. Mom and Dad are more willing to pay for things!! I guess this is also a benefit of being single, but I think that mainly comes from mom feeling sorry for me, and she thinks if she buys me clothes it will help me get a man. So the school thing is a much better excuse.

1. Making fun of the stupid people, unfashionable, or old people, in class is a lot more fun than having to deal with the these kinds of people who effect your work and waste your time. Vanessa and I also made fun of the smart kids. Maybe it was because we were mad because they killed the curve for us, but I'm pretty sure it was mainly because they kept asking stupid questions that kept us in class way longer than necessary.

Hang in there Kali! Enjoy it while you can, and just realize it will be over sooner than you think! Also, if they ever have take your sister to work day you can come, and you can see school is way better than what I do every day. Ok, so maybe that is a reason not to go to school, cause I'm not sure it really benefited me too much, but maybe someday. I promise this job is only temporary.

Da Da Deeeee Da Dab a Boo Hoo Hoo

Well yesterday I got to work and checked MSN like I normally do and I saw some very sad news.
Robert Goulet died. I know many of you only know him from the Will Ferrell skit, but there was far more to him than that. Well, I really only know the bits and pieces from the story I read, but by far the best commercial from the super bowl this year was the Emerald Nuts commercial.

Here are some videos to be a tribute to the man, the legend, Robert Goulet.

Rocky Mountain Magic

Move over '69 Mets. All you had was a miracle. Miracles happen everyday. The Impossible? That only happens once in a lifetime.

For Rockies fans, October 2007 is that once in a lifetime. It's not that the Rockies made it to the World Series, it was bound to happen sooner or later (more likely much later). It's not even that they did it in a way that no team in sports ever has before. If the Yankees or another team with a billion dollar payroll had achieved it, it would have been spectacular, but not the same.

No, it's something different about this team. It's what makes something impossible.

A team of relative unknowns.
A team where not finishing last was exceeding expectations
A team who was told they had to not only win nearly every single game to make the playoffs, but had to count on other teams losing to even force just one more game to get the final win they needed.

It's what makes everyone who sat in Mile High Stadium that first year stop and make sure they're still awake, because they can't believe the Major League dreams they had for their home team are on the verge of becoming a reality after nearly 15 years

It doesn't even matter if the Rockies win the whole thing or not. There's a feeling in Denver that hasn't been felt since Ray Borque lifted the Stanley Cup in 2001. It's something very familiar that was felt in all those AFC championships in the 80's and those 2 special years in the 90's.

It's almost as if it went away for good on September, 10th 2001 as the Broncos christened a new stadium that would soon be known only as Invesco.

It's that special something that wasn't even recognized until John Elway appeared in the stands of Coors Field for game 4 of the NLCS. It's the same power that was behind the Drive. The same power that gave wind to the most miraculous Stanley Cup chases of all time. The power that gave Denver it's most coveted prizes as a city, OUR two Super Bowl Championships.

Mile High Magic.

It's back, and it's taken the form of a team a city had forgotten. In a season when football usually is the only thing that matters. In a time where the Denver sports fans had been heartbroken by a string of disappointing endings for the teams they had such high hopes for. The time when it was needed it the most.

This is why even those who don't know the difference between a strike and a ball are getting excited about this team. It's because they know the feeling so well and want to cling to it.

That magic is no longer confined to the original Mile High, it's transcended to become the Rocky Mountain Magic. It took a team so young, so humble, and so determined to bring it back. The only kind of team that can accomplish the impossible.

There are only a handful of players on the other Denver teams current rosters that have experienced this first hand. Joe Sakic, Tom Nalen, and Jason Elam are really all that come to mind. For the new players that don't fully understand the magic of the city they play in, soak in the special experience that is Rockies playoff baseball.

Few things seem more improbable than the Rockies in the World Series seemed until the final out of the 9th inning skipped passed Jamey Carrol and was scooped up into Tulowitzki's glove.

Because of this run it's no longer far fetched that the Nuggets could actually beat the Spurs in a playoff series with Tim Duncan on the squad.

Putting trust in a young Czech goaltender to get you back to a Stanley Cup, while the 6 Million Dollar Doorman sits on the bench willing only his hair to grow "Better...Stronger...Faster," doesn't seem so scary.

Even a 2-3 Broncos team missing the keystone of their offensive line, dealing with running back issues for the first time since Mike Shanahan took over, and has no rushing defense to speak of could make it to the Super Bowl.

By now the stats are well known, 21-22, 7-7, 3 runs in the bottom of the 11th; these are the stats that will be included in the new story told to prove to kids that anything is possible. It will be told of how all of Coors field held their collective breath, not really daring to believe it was true until Todd Helton finally took his foot off of first base only after he looked at the umpire to be absolutely sure that it really was the third out, the final out.

There's not a better cast of characters for this story, and there isn't another story written that could have brought back this Rocky Mountain Magic in the same way these boys did. It is why October 2007 will forever be known as...

ROCKTOBER!

SWEEP!!! SWEEP!!! SWEEEP!!!!

I know it's late, but I wanted to record my thoughts as I'm watching one of the biggest games in the most unbelievable run in sports history!!!

• Tony Gwyn is Sooo fat!
• Jordan is making me play NHL Hitz with him in between innings. Probably because he doesn't want to do his homework. I love Hitz and "Big Save by RA-WAH" (For Roy).
• LaTroy Hawkins just pushed a guy out and jordan told me about the Alex Rodriguez Purse slap. I need to find that video.
• Troy Tulowitski is so good.
• I'm so numb I can't believe that this is even happening.
• The Diamondbacks are not that good. Everyone needs to stop talking them up trying to make their fans feel better. They got out worked, look at the stats.
• The Rockies fans are so much better than Arizona they've been cheering "Go" "Rockies" For like 4 innings. I love Denver.
• More Hitz.
• I hope the Red Sox win so that people will actually watch the World Series. Plus that would be the best to beat their smug east coast bias fans.
• We're now playing "Who wore it best" with the girl wearing the same cheerleader outfit that Laney has. Laney wins. Hands down.
• "The Rockies are 6 outs from the World Series" How weird does that sound?
• Just saw John Elway. You got to love that he's as big a fan of Denver sports as every one else in the city.
• Again Hitz. 2-0 Jordan. Boo.
• OOOH. Goalie Fight. ROY takes down Belfour!!! Maybe I can score now.
  
• 1st Arizona hit since the 4th inning. They are that bad. Why is everyone booing?
• I've never wished I was in Denver more than I have in the past 2 weeks, and I was even there for a weekend. Downtown will be so fun. Knock on wood.
• Tony Gwyn. Still fat.
• Pop up...Tulowitzki is responsible for about 100 outs in this series.
• Rockies are 5 outs from the World Series. Yep, still weird.
• I really hope they bullpen doesn't let up any runs for the rest of the game cause they have only let in like one in the past month.
• Stupid East Coast making our game start so late. I'm getting tired, but I'm too excited to sleep.
• What a strike out!!!! 4 MORE OUTS!!!!
• Uh oh. Darn Fuentes. ARGGGHH.
• By the way, this won't be posted if they lose.
  
• We HAVE to get out of this inning. Baby Step to One Out!! Baby Step to One Out!!!
• I'm glad the crowd is getting back into it. I can't breathe right now.
  
• I can't handle this, I need some Kool-Aid.
  
• Ok, the Levi's commercial is a little racy.
• Hooray. Corpas is off. Hopefully he can finish us off.
  
• By the way, the Diamondbacks scored as many runs this inning as they have all series.
  
• YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! K!!!!
  
• 3 Outs AWAY!!! Seriously, who would have guessed?!?!
• Ok, they need to put this away. I can't take another extra innings game. No, literally I need to go to bed. I'm SOOO sleepy.
• HAHAHA, I'm just watching the highlight of when Holliday hit that homerun and Byrnes ran into the wall. Great stuff.
• I love the chant for Tulo, and the fans say it with such gusto. It gives me chills.
  
• How did it get to be 11:30?
• Here we go. We're all to nervous to finish the Hitz game. Oh well, maybe it's better that way. For me anyway.
  
• The Rockies better win now. I just had to endure Jordan singing the Viva Viagra song. So if they lose then this may be the worst night ever.
  
• I sure love the Office. What a great show.
• Back to baseball. 6-4 Rockies with Corpas on the mound.
• 2 OUTS AWAY!!! And Jordan is again singing the Viva Viagra song to celebrate.
  
• ok, I'm stopping typing and I'm going to focus on breathing.
  
• Two broken bats in a row!! Ahhggg.
  
• I can't watch. I've turned into my grandma.
  
• OHHH MY GOSH!!!! 1 OUT!!!!! THAT WAS A HUGE OUT!!!!
• NOW FOR THE WEIRDEST STATEMENT OF ALL...

THE ROCKIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!
SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP!
How fitting that it was Byrnes that got the final out.
That's not luck!!!

GOOD, no, GREAT NIGHT!!!
