(1) Nice job, University of Florida, scheduling "Family Weekend" the same dates (October 25-27) as the Blue Key Speech and Debate Invitational ... which means hotel rooms are at a premium and difficult to find. Doesn't anyone confirm schedules anymore? Seriously ...
(2) Good riddance, Ariel Castro, you worthless cocksucker. Even your closest family would be hard pressed to cry over your committing suicide in your jail cell last night. Enjoy your special place in Hell.
(3) This one's for you, John McCain:
(4) How to spend (part of) my Rosh Hashanah tomorrow: (1) get blood drawn to check on my diabetes stats at 7 am; (2) stop by Manhattan Trophies to assess a new plaque for the debate room (representing the 1,500-point NFL "Degree of Premier Distinction"); (3) get a much-needed haircut at the Oasis Salon & Spa in Lake Worth; and (4) hope the Almighty doesn't smite me for (1), (2), and (3) (and possibly 5+) on Rosh Hashanah ...
(5) First day of in-class Congressional Debate speeches by the novices. Four speeches were presented. One was a throwaway; the other three were solid for first-time speeches - well-organized, sourced, and well defended in cross examination. This is going to be a good year :)
From Dorkly: "Now Presenting: The World's Least Employable Human" - Yes, let's analyze that image to the left. I appreciate creativity, and there's certainly some merit to bringing a unique design and format to capture the attention of potential employers.
I'm not really sure this is the way, though. I mean, if you're looking for a job focusing on "computer science and mathematics," I think a resume incorporating something much more "adult nerdier" would be more effective - you know, a Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Monty Python design comes to mind.
Stupid News of the Day
From The Huffington Post: "Woman Pulled Over For Breastfeeding On A Moped" - If this had taken place in Florida, it wouldn't be considered "stupid," because ... it's fucking Florida!
Florida News of the Day
From The South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "Lake Worth man accused of eating weed before traffic stop" - Which leads beautifully into our Video of the Day. Speaking of which ...

Like I really need an excuse to post some Shel Silverstein?
