Inside The Head Of A Dyslexic
In the future I will be publishing stories about a friend of mine who will remain nameless. I've sworn for years that this person must be dyslexic, but I'll let you decide for yourself.
The other day I got an email from my friend and in it she spelled the word "rumor", r-o-o-m-e-r. I asked her about it a couple of weeks later and this was her response: "Well room is spelled r-o-o-m so there's no reason why rumor shouldn't be spelled r-o-o-m-e-r!"
I followed this comment up by explaining to her that rumor was actually spelled with a "u". Her response was: "What? r-u-m-e-r? That makes no sense." I said, you're right, r-u-m-e-r doesn't make sense, because it's spelled r-u-m-O-r!"
Bush The Hypocrite
President Geroge W. Bush recently announced that his administration will be urging the Supreme Court to clamp down on America's colleges and universities whose admissions policies favor students of certain races or ethnic backrounds. The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor has drawn considerable criticism for its policy which awards minority students 20 points if they come from a historically underrepresented racial or ethnic group. Bush claims this policy and others around the country are unconstitutional. Funny, but its been commonly known for years that George W. himself earned acceptance into Yale University based on an equally unconstitutional policy. The policy is know as the "legacy" policy. The legacy policy basically means that if your grandpa and daddy got into a specific school that you will be given preferential treatment to attend the school, even if your grades and test scores don't meet the requirements. If Bush is going to stand up against unconstitutional collegiate admissions policies that pertain to race, he better stand up against the exact policy that got him into college!
The Most Over Protective Mom In History
If you've never heard of Amy Borkowsky and her over protective mother's answering machine messages, you're missing out. Get a taste for what this CD has to offer on Amy's website. Included on the CD are messages left by her mother including one that warns Amy not to use lambskin condoms. Amy's mother also calls on Halloween and warns Amy to check her trick or treat bag for candy bars with holes in them, because "it could mean that someone stuck it with a hypodermic needle." Another personal favorite of mine is when Amy's mother tells her not to wear her red robe when she goes out to get the mail, because she heard that "red is a gang color."
Staying In The Hunt
In an attempt to stabalize their roster for the future, the Minnesota Twins announced Friday that they have signed All-Star Center Fielder Torii Hunter to a long term deal. Hunter led the Twins with 29 home runs and 94 RBI in 2002, while his defensive abilities in center field have all but erased the memories of one time Minnesota hero Kirby Puckett. The deal is reportedly worth $32 million over four years, although the team hasn't officially announced the contract.
They Take A Licking and Keep On Ticking
Over the years, many sports fans have thrown the Duke Basketball team in the same catagory as the Yankee's and Lakers. They are a sports dynasty which causes many fans to hate the team. The Dukies are another example of a team that doesn't rebuild, but a team that simply re-loads. Last year the Blue Devils were ranked #1 for a majority of the season and then lost Jason Williams, Mike Dunleavy and Carlos Boozer to the NBA. Where have the Blue Devils fallen to? Nowhere. They are still ranked #1 and have the only undefeated record in all of division I basketball. The reason why I respect the Duke dynasty over teams like the Yankees and Lakers, is because money is not involved. The Blue Devils attract talent because Mike Krzyzewski is arguably the greatest coach in the game. Another factor that lures talent to Durham is that the student fans at Duke are crazy and who wouldn't want to play in that environment. The Duke men's basketball program is as classy as it gets these days and for that the Blue Devils should be respected by sports fans.
