Hail to thee, our Alma Mater - Faithful, kind, and true; - Every son and every daughter - Offers praise to you.
Hail to the dearest spot of all; - Hail to WCU! - Light and life and fond devotion - All to thee are due.
Purple robes and colors golden, - Streaming everywhere, - Swell our hearts with pride for olden - Days and friendships dear.
Under shade trees' friendly bowers, - Voices, ever gay, - Mingles with breath of flowers - And the song birds' lay.
Shout aloud with one loud chorus, - Voices clear and true, - Lifted high in praise ...
“You wanted the best…
...you got the best."
Granted - I wouldn't really call myself a Kiss fan but when you get tickets for the right price to see a legendary group - you go. I learned a lot while I was there - namely that I knew more Kiss songs than I thought. Kiss fans as a group are cool people - everyone we asked was more than happy to let us take a picture of or with them. And - what Kiss lacks in talent they more than make up for in spectacle.
We were fortunate to not just get tickets at a price ...
Star Wars Pancakes
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a Jedi Kitchen Master created an epic breakfast to unleash the power of his Jedi Padawan. Using the Force™, he created three nonstick steel pancake molds in honor of his favorite galactic heroes and villains: Yoda™, Darth Vader™ and a stormtrooper™. Our Star Wars molds couldn’t be easier to use.
I was with you right up till that last part. I happen to be the proud owner of a set of these too cool to describe pancake molds from Williams-Sonoma.
After the jump you can see my efforts ...
Beer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival 2010
[singlepic id=3618 w=320 h=240 float=right]What do you get when you mix beer, bourbon and BBQ? If you said a headache the next day you are correct. You also get a nice little festival in Cary where you can sample a wide variety of beer and liquor (more than bourbon this year) and get a little pig on.
This is our return trip to the festival and it was as much fun this year as it was last year. No crazy Penn State fan this year but we might have had a moment had the "Star Wars" girl had a tattoo. No ...
Southwest Virginia Tour
[singlepic id=3617 w=320 h=240 float=right]Last week we headed to the "motherland" of Southwest Virginia (yes - that is where my mom is from) for a few days of rest, relaxation and fun with some friends. Had a great time in Abingdon, ate well at Shatley Springs and started on an awesome adventure on the New River. Unfortunately the rain decided to make the canoe trip a little less than desirable. We survived and plan to go on the trip next year. We may or may not canoe again but we're definitely up for a campfire and hanging out on the ...
Since it was played in Puerto Rico and likely on during a football game you may have missed this awesome half court shot. Fortunately it showed up online. Yes – basketball season has started and No – it is not too early to start giving BobG hell.
Just because Bob gets more than enough grief from me I’ve added a video he will like after the jump.
In March of this year Dr. Pepper offered to give “everyone in America” (with the exception of Slash and Buckethead) a free Dr. Pepper should Axl Rose of Guns & Roses release Chinese Democracy this year. Today the masterpiece has been unleash on the world (exclusively at Best Buy) and you can claim your drink.
As of right now you have a little under 14 hours to claim your drink. The site is already running slow so good luck and if you buy the new CD let me know if it is any good.
UPDATE: Dr. Pepper is having a hard time keeping their server running. The link above is still correct just not working very well.
I am sorting through the pictures and getting ready to make a few posts about our recent trip to San Francisco. This was kinda cool so I decided to go ahead and post it – it is Cara driving down Lombard Street the “crookedest” street in the world.
Found this online and this it was kinda neat. Maybe not as humorous as some of BobG’s Internet Oddities of the Week but not bad. Ok – until the puppies wake up it is no Hamster on a Piano but it is fun to watch.
Just a few pictures until I get home and upload more. Pictures below include Haight/Ashbury, the Golden Gate, Fisherman’s Wharf, China Town and Alcatraz. This is just a small sample from the first two days. More to come…
