Go Cougs

I like beaver. Anyone remember the homecoming shirt from back in 96 or 97 that had a cougar eating a beaver or beaver cereal or something like that? I hope the cougars dump all over them in the rain-fest that will be this saturday's game down in Corvallis. GO COUGS!

I will unfortunately not be going, as my drinkin skilz are required up in Seattle for Lee's reception. But I plan to root on the Cougs from a big screen somewhere in the Emerald City. Man I love beer.
and boobies.

aaaahhhhh fuck those guys


This is a little late if you already read the title, or any previous posts, but I use cuss words and stuff. What you would call, a potty mouth.

"The Parental Advisory is a notice to consumers that recordings identified by this logo may contain strong language or depictions of violence, sex or substance abuse. Parental discretion is advised."

I install this wonderful image upon you, to remind you of the days when you couldn't buy the new Public Enemy cd and so you stuck it to the man by getting your cousin to buy it for you. Or in my case, the new Eddie Murphy or Chris Rock cd. Or again in my case, having to show your ID no less than 3 years ago for a CD, and a year or two before that for fireworks...(lets see 28, minus 3 is 25, minus 2 more is 23, and you have to be 18 and 16 respectively to buy those items...THOSE FUCKERS).

And I also brought you the image to lead into the topic of violence in video games, which is a big topic for people today. And by people I of course mean narrow minded conservative fuckheads that think that violent video games are the reasons I call them fuckheads. Duhhhh, TV is the reason I call them fuckheads. They are listening to the wrong bullshit studies...

http://www.tdn.com/articles/2005/09/27/this_day/news03.txt Our local paper has a great quote in the middle of this article...

- "There really isn't any room for doubt that aggressive game playing leads to aggressive behaviors," says Iowa State University psychologist Craig A. Anderson, one of the pioneers of research in the area and a guiding force behind the association's resolution.

- But the association's action came just weeks after University of Illinois researcher Dmitri Williams, in a study of 213 players of a violent online game called "Asheron's Call 2," concluded that a month of steady, intensive play did not increase participants' aggressiveness. His study did not focus on children but included some players as young as 14.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again.
I would have no difficulty writing a thesis on any topic that would positively prove the point that for every study that says one thing, there is another that says the opposite. So video game bashers can go fuck themselves. Hard.
