I forgot...

Most of you wouldn't have noticed...but Ben and Eric have a new video up, which I think is one of their best.

No explanation needed...just "Sext Messages".

Check out all of UPS' finest filmmakers at www.benanderic.com.


Briefly

I saw a myspace posting this week that Skaw got engaged this weekend. Here is the part of the post that is ALMOST clean enough to repost:

"Yep. Its true. Got hammered and put a ring on Janelle's finger - a real one, not the crackerjack ring I was planning on. She doesn't go for cheap trinkets like the other whores I used to poke."

And they say romance is dead...

(Believe me--the two sentences that followed this were far more vile that I put on this page.


Just a thought though:
How is it possible that someone who:
-Thought it would be funny to get drunk and get playboy bunnies tattooed around his crotch
-Had the Virginia Tech shooter's picture as his profile picture on myspace
-Intentionally flunked out of UPS
-Once had a girlfriend who he referred to as "Milky T**s" to her face
-Didn't like Faces of Death because the acts weren't realistic (and knows that they weren't because he's performed them all)

has his life together better than I do?

What is the over/under on days after this marriage that there is a domestic abuse call to the police? Four?


Anyway...congrats.



This Week’s Poll

So as it turns out, I, like everyone else on the planet, make college football picks that are about as useless as a mushy apple.

I got one suggestion for a blog that I’m considering, but could use a few more, as I’m short on rants right now.

As for today…just this week’s poll (with their BCS ranking in parenthesis.)

(And as for those of you who don’t care about sports—SUBMIT A TOPIC OR A POSTING OF YOUR OWN!!!!!!!!!)

McFly’s Top 25

1. South Florida (2): Yes, South Florida. Close your eyes and listen to the results of every team’s games—not even a question that USF is #1.

2. Ohio State (1): I still haven’t been impressed by a single one of their games, but it looks like both them and (get this!) Michigan will be undefeated in the Big 10 when they close their seasons in the Big House on November 17.

3. Oklahoma (5): Yes, they have a loss, but they have more impressive wins than anyone but USF.

4. Boston College (3): At Virginia Tech this week. If they can win that one, they can pretty much coast to an undefeated season.

5. Oregon (10): See Oklahoma.

6. LSU (4): I applaud Les Miles’ faith to run on 4th and 3 with the game on the line. I assume there aren’t a lot of LSU fans that feel the same way…

7. Arizona State (8): Washington is really awful…but Arizona State absolutely out-everything’d them on Saturday. But they have Cal at home this week with Longshore still hurt. Then a BRUTAL ONE at Oregon, and a couple weeks later USC at home. If the escape with one loss, how are they not a BCS team??

8. Kentucky (7): I hate sports cliches. Kentucky stood toe-to-toe in the middle of the ring with LSU and scored a knockout. I hate irony.

9. USC (14): Yes, they’ve played three awful games against three awful teams, but does ANYONE believe that there are 13 teams better than them?

10. South Carolina (6): Why waste votes putting them in the top ten? They’re NOT going to end up there…

11. West Virginia (9): They’ve got some opportunities, but they need an impressive win before they’re vaulted back into BCS Contention.

12. Cal (12): Funny joke for any Cal senior reading this: replace your backup quarterback’s playbook with a transfer form.

13. Kansas (13): No, they’re NOT the worst undefeated team in history…that would be my friend Mo’s fantasy team.

14. Florida (15): Similar to USC, there is just no way they should be this low when Boston College is 3rd in the BCS.

15. Hawaii (18): As predicted, they’ll lose Thanksgiving week to Boise State and their joke of a conference will screw itself over.

16. Auburn (17): Hold Darren McFadden to 42 yards and I’ll put you in my top 25 as well.
17. Texas Tech (24): They have a FRESHMAN with 18 RECEIVING touchdowns. (Read that several times.)

18. Virginia (19): Hey—you knock off undefeated UConn and you get some SERIOUS props.

19. Virginia Tech (11): So I don’t forget to put them in here…BC THUMPS them this week.

20. Missouri (16): Hung with Oklahoma for a while, but never really looked like they belonged.

21. Tennessee (21): They were almost ranked higher when it was announced that Smokey would be their starting tailback this week.

22. Cincinnati (23): This sounds stupid but holding Louisville to 28 points is pretty impressive.

23. Michigan (25): I’m standing by my pick of them winning the Big 10.

24. Georgia (20): Eh.

25. Illinois (Unranked): What the hell happened Saturday? Erik—please explain how Iowa was successful against a team with that much momentum…I know you’re into that crap.
