Link of the Week

http://www.hammerandrails.com/2010/10/18/1759006/ignore-us-now-at-your-peril-the-revised-plan-for-the-national-title

I’m feeling lazy this week, so I’m just going to post an article about Purdue basketball’s revised plan for success following the loss of Robbie.  I don’t know about everyone else, but this gets me excited, it’s kind of nice to be underdogs and fighters once again.   I’m still glad I camped out for basketball tickets.  And while I’m completely ripping stuff off from Hammer and Rails, I’ll close with this, from another post of theirs.

“We’re still Boilermakers – You know what that means, right? We’re still going to fight like mad bastards in every game. So we have to tie our shoes a little tighter and buckle down more on defense. We’re going to get some leadership and if we have to drag teams down into the hell of slugging it out defensively with us, so be it. Remember when the 2007 team did the same thing to Florida in the NCAA Tournament? That Florida team is one of the best college basketball has seen in the last 20 years, and a team with half the talent we currently have dragged them down into a war. We will make every night a 40 minute war and teams will remember they have played us.”

Link of the Week

I’m using the Link of the Week this week as more of a Public Service Announcement than anything else.  You see, I’m not sure how many of you know this, but last year during the spring, I was abducted by aliens.  It was a very troubling experience, and it really shook me up for awhile.  Thankfully, the aliens did me no harm, and I have had no long term ill effects from my experience.  If you’d like more information on my encounter, you can see the news coverage here and here.  My unique experience however, led me to do further research on the topic of alien abductions, and it is through that research that I discovered a product that may truly save your life. And, fortunately for you, the commercial for this product was recently posted on Youtube, so that all may be enlightened to the miracle of its invention.  It is with great urgency that I impress upon you the need to purchase this product, as I assure you, you do not want to deal with the calamities I have experienced.  So please, for your own safety, watch the following commercial:

(As you’ve probably figured out, this was all for a class project I was involved in last semester, and was just recently posted to youtube.  So in all reality, I probably think it’s way more hilarious than it actually is, but whatever.  You can see outtakes from our filming here.)
