3 Football Players Suspended For Obscene Gesture In Photo

Three Nebraska high school football players were suspended for one game after making "obscene" gestures in a photo that appeared in a local Omaha newspaper. I read the headline and thought so what? the kids flipped the bird, but as you read the article you start getting the idea that it's not the middle finger they are talking about...curiosity got the better of me and I had to read on.

Apparently a father of one of the boys resigned as president of the team booster club out of anger with the way the school handled the situation.

"[The father] contended that the hand gesture the boys made is not obscene and has been commonly displayed by athletes in other sports at the school, as well as by widely known college athletes. The gesture had become so accepted at the school, [the father] said, that a varsity head coach at Carroll High used a picture of a player showing the gesture as a screen saver on his school computer."

Its not until you get almost a third of the way though the article that they reveal the "gesture" in question is none other than the SHOCKER! Hahahah. How can anyone argue that's not an obscene gesture?!? It's more obscene than the middle finger by far, and a coach used it as as screen saver? LMAO.

GREEK - Hilarious New ABC Family Comedy

ABC Family's new show GREEK has me cracking up this summer. Having been Greek myself, I must admit a lot of what seems like ridiculous ratings gags actually goes on in Greek life. Dressing up in outrageous costumes, pimps and hoes mixers, trying to play intramural sports incredibly hung over...been there. More importantly though the shows writers also do a great job portraying the positives of being Greek. When I first heard about the show I was worried it would be very Animal House like with one dimensional stereotypical characters. I should have realized ABC Family was much better than that. One of the funniest characters isn't part of a fraternity or sorority, its one of the main characters (Rusty Cartright) roommate - Dale. Dale is a extremely religious confederate flag wielding southerner who continually thrusts his moral beliefs on Rusty and always has a hilarious comment on Rusty's pledging/fraternity experience. Definitely check it out, Monday nights 9pm.

Summer is almost Gone

So I'm driving to work this morning and BAM outta no where a stopped school bus with its lights flashing! WTF, I know its close to school time again but its still a couple weeks off. Turns out the bastard was practicing. Come on douche bag, its not like you need any practice...you're already great at making me late for work. I really hate school buses. I have to leave at least 10 minutes earlier for work during the school year just in case I run into one of those yellow pain-in-the-asses. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch I know they are necessary blah blah blah, but that doesn't mean I have to like them.

Monday Morning Lego Fun Indiana Jones Style

Rambling Buddha...much like the DeLorean Returns!

I would like to think it's more than just coincidence that the week I finally resurrect Rambling Buddha the DeLorean Motor Corporation announces the return of the DeLorean in all of it's Back To The Future goodness. Rambling Buddha is back and hopefully it will be better than ever before.
