Joe the plumber.

Joe the plumber was discussed in depth last night during the debate. He would like to purchase a plumb. Barack Obama wouldn't let him go through with this purchase. So he tattle-tailed to his dad, who happened to be John McCain. Unfortunately Sarah Palin was killing a moose while taking care of 5 kids, she couldn't be reached for comment. As far as Joe Biden goes, he was locked in a closet by the Obama campaign. Hopefully he didn't say anything stupid in there. Well, we know he did. Lets just hope no one heard him. Hopefully all these shenanigans will boost the economy.


BTW: That last paragraph was typed to boost my google search results hits. I tried to make it somewhat humorous.

I went to a hockey game friday night with middle school youth group kids. It was pretty fun. I really like those kids.

During the 1st intermission, they had a "throw hockey pucks onto a bulls eye and win something from viaero wireless" well someone who was sitting several rows behind me tried to throw their puck, and didn't make it. Because they hit me in the side of the face with their puck. I figured I had earned the puck, and went to look for it on the ground so I could take it home and put it on my shelf. But some 4 year nearby was running and picked it up. Even though I was hazily stumbling around, I practice discernment and decided against stealing from a small child.

Have you ever noticed the advertising at sporting events? I went to a Husker game a few weeks back (Go Huskers!), and it was nothing compared to what I saw at the Tri-city Storm game. I think I heard the announcer say the words "viaero wireless" every 15 seconds. I believe that he said it in the middle of announcing a players name.

My favorite was the renaming of the penalty box to the "ABC seamless sin-bin" if I need new gutters, I will probably give ABC seamless a call. I mean, the Tri-City storm DID win on friday.

I don't hold this against central nebraska, and I still think that the Tri-City storm put on a good show, but the atmosphere and intensity doesn't compare to that of the Ice box while the Lincoln Stars are playing.

The only thing that gets me excited about living in Nebraska is Nebraska football.

The days after we lose games, people are always quiet.

I was at Arby's after church. They gave us an extra sandwich. I went up to the assistant manager, and told her. She grabbed the sandwich as if to read the labeling.

She apologized for the mistake. She started to take a step away. And I asked "Are you just going to throw it away?" She said "yes." I asked if she had to do that, and if there was a way to not throw it away. She said she had to throw it away.

I walked away with a sick feeling in my stomach.

Kind of like when Nebraska loses 52-17.
