Wednesday, October 31, 2001 11:52 PM - Trip to Hooters. - Shanky

Dan turned 21 tonight. Halloween night. Full moon. What is better. Go to Hooters for a beer.

Dan's first drink while he is 21. It was a Becks.. Made him drink the whole thing too.

Dan dancing on a chair. If he didnt, they were going to close the bar down. And these big, older drunk guys didnt look like they wanted that to happen. They sang a Happy Birthday type song to him.

Just Dan and I right before we left. Notice the empty beer mug. Dan got himself a little buzz. (he had some trouble keeping the glass straight going from the bar to his mouth about half way though.

Update: This is just in, Dan is NOT sleeping. He is NOT sleeping. He is NOT hung over from drinking to much last night, so therefore he is NOT sleeping on the couch with the TV on.

Sunday, October 28, 2001 06:20 PM - Back, PLUS!!! BONUS!~! - Shanky

Doesnt get much better than this. I get a speeding ticket and when I pull into the parking lot here, I back over something. Something big. It is nice and big. And lots of air starts pouring out of my tire. Which is just great. I get to break out the spare tire and put it on my car. Just to sit in the parking lot. Well spare tire = under all my stereo stuff. That was great. Moving the amps around, then taking the sub and sub box out. Terry squeezed the tire out from underneath, then I put the sub box back in. Great... So Terry has my tire in the back of his car, so we can take it to get it fixed tomorrow. But my car gets to sit out there with its spare on. I would go out and take a picture of it, but that will make my car look bad... cant do that one. This never happened. I am having such a wonderful day. Well night. What else is going to go wrong tonight.



Sunday, October 28, 2001 01:51 PM - Heading back to State College - Shanky

I will be on my way to back home to State College sometime soon. Going to throw the football around a bit with my dad. Maybe some basketball. I am hoping to get out of here around 2:30 to 2:45.



Friday, October 26, 2001 03:21 PM - In Waynesboro - Shanky

Back in Waynesboro now. Stopped and ate lunch with Shanna. Got home a little after 3pm



Friday, October 26, 2001 10:02 AM - Going back to Waynesboro - Shanky

I am leaving now. Should be home around 2pm. Or before. 3pm at the latest.

Going to stop in Carlisle. She Shanna maybe if she isnt busy, maybe go out to lunch. She doesnt know this yet. Hopefully she wont read this by then



Wednesday, October 24, 2001 09:54 PM - Come Mister Taliban - Shanky

AHhahaha Take a look at this one.

Bin Laden Has Nowhere To Run - Nowhere To Hide

As for Ryan and his lack of caluclus but takes the test anyway class. Good work. To bad you cant see what you got. Aahah Robert DuMass. Like that commerical.



Wednesday, October 24, 2001 12:13 PM - Stupid college teacher.. - Mine GO BOOM

Hehe, I just found out, that the calc class I took a test in, the teacher is requiring everyone for the next test to have their student ID to be able to take it. Reason: because they had a problem with identification during his last test. Hehe.. Go Robert DuMass!

Oh well.. guess I'll never figure out DuMass's score on the calc test. And an updated for chris, incase mom hasn't been calling you constantly, she won $50. The biggest win of all 4 of them at one time. Dad WOULD be +$15, but he lost a $20 winning sports bet ticket, so he is -$5. So mom is currently in the lead, she says, but didn't tell me by how much, or what Jenny and Mike's are. They are going to the Hoover Dam today, and when they come back, I'll be sure to see lots of pictures... bah..

Sunday, October 14, 2001 12:49 AM - Penn State Football - Shanky

I am glad to announce that Penn State did not lose today!!! Well they didnt play either. Which is for the better. We are Penn State like Dan would say.

Terry and I went to Altoona today. We drove around a bit. Gas is REALLY cheap there. $1.07 for 87 grade gas. $1.16 for 89. We stopped at the mall there. I made Terry park on the top level of the parking garage. Then we had our very own bridge to walk right into the mall, the food court. The mall is two layers big (or floors if you like it that way). The mall is called Logan Valley Mall. It is owned by the same people that own the Chambersburg Mall (Chambersburg, Pa) and the Valley Mall (Hagerstown, Md). (They own the Nittany Mall (State College, Pa) too) *Wow, that is alot of links to pages that look almost the same*

Anyway. I got two things. Both at KB Toys (which I am sorry to say, that South Dakota only has two of in the whole state. Which is the lowest. Washington DC doesnt count, it isnt a state, even Delaware and Alaska have more). One of them is for Ryan. The other is for Dan, it is his birthday present from me.

Ohh. Look at the bid on Jay Leno's Motorcycle

Terry and I, after we got back from Altoona, headed off the the campus. We wanted to check out the movie thingy. They were playing The Score. I saw it before with Shanna after it came out. Seems alot longer than July 13th. Ohh well. We stayed for a little more than half of the movie. Then we had to get back. Terry had to go to work, where he is at right now. Next week Tomb Raider is playing. The place isnt bad. Just got to sit up front. So getting there a half hour early is a good idea. Well I am out of here. Going to bed. Getting tired.



Saturday, October 13, 2001 04:01 PM - something - Shanky

I need to really post something... hmm. here..



Tuesday, October 09, 2001 02:44 PM - JediKnight - Shanky

Want to a real Jedi?

Jedi Knight is now regarded as a religion. But only in the UK.

(first saw it in the BAMF Forums, then was put on the BAMF main page)

Back in State College



Monday, October 08, 2001 01:21 PM - Comcast Gets Their Ass Moving Finnally - Mine GO BOOM

Finnally, Comcast (our cable company) gets their asses moving. Today, as Chris is leaving to go back to college, my mom walks out to the cable company's workers outside our area and asks them why our cable is down for the day and if we are getting cable modem soon in our area. Reply: They are doing a full 'sweep' of the area's fiber optics system. In other words, free cable modem service for us soon.. :)



Sunday, October 07, 2001 11:34 AM - Thanks Cal - Shanky
Yes, Yes, I really do suck. thanks
Thanks Cal, for sucking all these years. GG. 2-48. Way to finish off your career on top. He ends his career in the on-deck circle, watching Brady Anderson strike out as a stadium full of Ripken-ites chanted, "We want Cal." Brady is the man. He will do anything for his team, including standing in the outfield, watching balls get hit to him (but never getting to any of them), and gracefully taking a nice big paycheck. I know it is hard being Brady Anderson, but someone has to do it, and who better than to let down Cal, and not forfil his promise of getting Cal up to bat one more time. So he can finish the game up 0-4 instead of 0-3. Dont worry Cal, in 2007 we get to remember all the things that you could do, and some that your couldnt. You may have been a decent hitter, but you sucked at thrid base, and Ozzie was a better shortstop.


Friday, October 05, 2001 10:52 PM - In Waynesboro - Shanky

In Waynesboro. Got here about 10mins ago.



Friday, October 05, 2001 03:48 PM - Back to Waynesboro - Shanky

Getting ready to pack up the car, that includes the computer. And then head to work. After work I am driving home to Waynesboro. Hope to get there before midnight. I will post a message when I get there.

This is where I am heading



Thursday, October 04, 2001 10:35 PM - Bonds hits 70 - Shanky

Barry Bonds. Knocks out number 70. Tieing him for the major league homerun record. He hit it out on his second decent pitch he got from Houston the whole game. He was walked all the other times.

Time for Images....




Wednesday, October 03, 2001 12:59 PM - Umm.... - Shanky
Greyhound Suspends Service After Fatal Crash

A bus gets attacked... Bus crashes. Kills like 10 people. Not terrorist related. At least the bus didnt fly into a building or anything. Well there goes the idea that bus travel is safer than airplanes. Just need Amtrak to derail a few more times. Then we will have no way to go on a long trip. Cant drive your car, who knows what drunk bin Laden worker is out there targeting your car.

Dont know, but that picture doesnt look to good. The driver got his throat cut and lived? Yet the attacker goes though the window and dies.



Tuesday, October 02, 2001 11:37 PM - 10/02/2001 = 1002/20/01 - Shanky

Wow. Who says you dont learn anything from ESPN.

They said that today is read both forwards and backwards with the numbers of the month, day, and year.

10/02/2001 and backwards 1002/20/01

The last time this could have (well did) happen was back on 12/31/1321. That is kinda wierd. Almost 700 years ago was the last time. While the next time it will be. 01/02/2010

Strange the way dates work. Just wish I could have known about this earlier. Would give me a great reason to go out and get drunk. Hmm. Only if I drank. Ohh well. Here is to 01/02/2010.



Monday, October 01, 2001 08:48 PM - Still on Shitty Connection, but DSL maybe, soon? - Mine GO BOOM

Just maybe, but maybe, I won't have huge ass pings and plosses in subspace within a month..

Sprint sent us a letter saying we get DSL now in our area. Checked on website, with Zip and Phone #, and they actually have service in OUR area TO our house.. OMG! Speed!

Problem.. $49.99 a month while having to pay for a whole year at once, otherwise monthly fee +$5. Reason this bad: Once Comcast Cable gets offered to our house, we get it free since my dad works at Staples and is a manager, and was some promotion or what not. So now we have to work out if it is worth the shot to go a whole year on DSL and maybe have the cable company pop around with comcast in say 6 months? Or, we get it, and another year goes around, it still isn't here, should we go for another year on DSL with cable getting oh-so-close? Or could we go back down to shitty ass 56k connection free from mont alto with only 1 phone line (currently have 2 for those that didn't live here, 1 for phone, 1 for computer)? All those things working around.. oh well, we paided for the phone and current internet up until the end of october, so we have a full month to work it out.
