You're Pitiful

New "Weird Al" Yankovic song

Why blog (or do anything else with your life) when you can post videos? This one has earned a reputation as the worst college recruitment video ever, but I don't see much wrong with it. It's a BOCES school, right?



Here's Pat Robertson doing what he does best: lifting weights.



Finally, one of my favorite Monty Python sketches: The Bishop!

I watched Game 7 at Joe's place. All the superstitions in the world couldn't prevent the Sabres' loss.

Losers

At least I got a good road trip out of the playoffs, as well as this fades-in-one-wash towel.

On Saturday I went the Akron Sidewalk Sale, where I found the newest addition to the Schrock family tree (not my doing).

The Hamburglar also showed up. **** this guy for stealing my burgers.

The drugstore on Main Street is expanding! I'm the only one who cares.

If you have bought one of these, you might find this interesting.

Game 6

Richard Feynman interview from 1981


To see the Sabres' stunning overtime victory over the Hurricanes in Game 6, I went to the ballpark in downtown Buffalo. The Clintons were also in town for the New York State Democratic Convention, so it was a big night for downtown. FOX News came to downplay the evening.

The party outside the game

The guys demanded that I post this photo

The crowd celebrates a goal. Yes, we paid money to watch the game on that screen. They even turned on the organ.

Dave . . . was there. I'm not feeling the captions tonight.

Fellow Canisius alumni Ed and Ken also showed up to stare at the tube and take useless pictures.

Finally, the big game. Buffalo went from leading 3-1 to losing in overtime. Still a good game, though. RBC stands for Royal Bank of Canada. Confusing.

Ed needs some TA Loving

Thousands of Sabre fans

Local news caught Sabres fans asking "You guys have tickets left?" Carolina: "Yes." Sabres fans: "HA!"

Ed celebrates waaaaay too early

These crappy things on the ceiling tried to make the arena louder. Carolina says it has the loudest fans in the league. The toilets in the men's room were louder.

John Deere zamboni!

They don't broadcast the awesome 4th Period, where all the players come out and there are ten pucks on the ice.

One last shot of the parking lot

O RALEIGH?

Islamic Jihad in Buffalo?

The NC History Museum is right next to the Natural History Museum. You'd think that a state like North Carolina would have some information about, oh, the Civil War or slavery. Guess again!. Here's a replica of the Wright Brothers' plane instead.

Good!

Also part of the medical exhibit

The museum also rebuilt an old Raliegh soda shop

Mmm. Coke with real cocaine, please!

Also cool

Deliberatin' and Conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation

Foul ball?


THEN we went to the North Carolina State Capitol, because the fun doesn't stop when you're traveling with me.

This is where they seceeded!

This is where they took their final exams!

Together, they fight crime.

A couple weeks ago I traveled from Buffalo to Raleigh for Game 5 of the NHL Eastern Conference Finals between the Sabres and the Hurricanes. Somewhere along the line was this church on a hill. It might have been Virginia. Either way it was near a Dunkin' Donuts so we stopped.

Ed thought it'd be good to leave notes on Hurricane fans' cars

The Hurricane fans tracked us down

Before the game we stopped at the North Carolina Museum of Natural History
