indeed it has been a long time. at first it was because i had finals, then break where i dont like to post to much cuz im havin fun, and then school started and i am (mostly was) tryin to be a better student (gettin back to my roots) so i let that go on for a bit. but then its like man i should post, but its gotta be something good. nothing too exciting has happened so i keep putting it off. only problem is that the lionger i wait the better i feel this very lame post should be. i htink i have somehting that you all will like though. but first the goings on of late. this past weekend i went to sectionals for college ultimate frisbee. i only played in the games where we were pretty sure we were gonna win. it was lots of fun and we became the first caltech team to earn a bid in regionals (one other team got in but that was becasue weather changed the day of sectionals and not a lot of teams showed up so caltech got in by default). this is pretty cool. so i will be going to regionals in two weeks in santa barbara. sectionals was in san diego. very nice place. very beautiful people. i had korean bbq for the first time. nice big pile of meat. good stuff. as the gee fer mentioned in her blog we saw KB:V2 and i agree it was a let down. a good movie, yes, but not as great as vol. 1. i hope that by lowering expectations for all of you it will not be a dissapointment. also helping dissapoint for me in that movie were the bozos that sat next to us, specifically me, in the theatre. so we get all comfortable and such, and i got two seat open to the left of me. we go through some stupid fucking comercials that do nto belong in a movie theater (i do both englishes) and then the previews. Then ten minuted into the movie these two guys come in and plop right next to me. one of them was holding a beer in his hand only to produce another one out of his jacket a few minutes later for his friend (they each drank about three during the movie). one of the bozos had already seen the movie and thought it was necessary to alert his friend to the "good parts" coming up, sometimes was too far ina advance so hed have to say it agian realizing that the good part was really coming now. he also chose not to laugh but to say "thats funny." another memorable quote was "tarantino is fucking morbid." now this is great adn all, not very enjoyable. but the icing was put on the metaphorical cake about 10 or 15 minutes before the movie is over. They get up an leave!!!!! WTF mate? i was happy and all but why the fuck did htey come. the other guy hadnt seen it. did he dislike the movie so much as to not wanna see hwo it ends? people fucking piss me off.
ok now a little gem from the caltech community. so the seven UG houses have a thing called the disco trophy. i dont know alot about htis whole hting cuz i never particiapte so ill give you what i know. the trophy is won theough competition between two houses. one house challenges the other house to varied events, usually sports but sometimes beer pong and any other creative games. after a win another house challenges the current owner of the trophy. so it is ricketts turn to challenge ruddock. and there was a list generated of things ot challenge them in:

Basketball
Wrestling
Blue light challenge
Drunken Inner tube water polo
High stakes candyland
Rugby
Chicken fights in the pool
Crew (not rowing)
Boxing
Arm wrestling
Most combined weight of visible minorities
Edward 40-hands
Squash
Bible burning
Ho-down
Goat tiedown
QED
Broom ball
Staring contest
Slip and Slide
Not being a little bitch
Beer Pong
Kickball

Im not even sure what all of it is. but my favorite is the total weight of visible minorities cuz ricketts is chock full ofminorities and ruddock certainly is not.
anyways it gets better. there's an autistic student in ricketts who always has crazy suggstions about stuff that usually involve robots. after we had challenged ruddock he sent out his suggestion of some games to challenge them in. notcie the amazing attention to detail:

To Whom It May Concern,

My suggestions for disco challenge events are the following:

1. Decay of Humanity: a Contact Sport

rules:
Prior to the start of the game, each team constructs a robot capable of
moving under its own power, singing, and spraying blood. The game itself
occurs on an open field with two parallel goal lines at opposite ends of
the field. At the start of an inning, each team arrays its non-robot players
along its own goal line. The robots start equidistant from the two goal
lines. To start the inning, the referee shouts, "By Agamemnon's
Underpants," and activates both robots simultaneously. The two teams may
then enter the field and commence play. Each team is responsible for
dividing its manpower/womanpower/eunuchpower/hermaphroditepower between
its offensive line and its defensive line. Members of the offensive line
of a particular team must endeavor to set fire to the opposing team's
robot before it reaches the opposing team's goal line. Failure to do this
results in the end of the inning and the awarding of a point to the
opposing team. Members of the defensive line of a particular team must
endeavor to prevent the setting of fire to their own team's robot by
shoving copies of Dante's "The Divine Comedy" and of Ambrose Beirce's "The
Devil's Dictionary" down the pants of members of the opposing team.
Participants with copies of the aforementioned books down their pants and
participants not wearing pants must spin about their own axes and make
monkey noises, i.e., noises that a monkey would make if it were revolving
on its own axis. Those with "The Divine Comedy" down their pants must circle
counter clockwise. Those with "The Devil's Dictionary" down their pants
must circle clockwise. Those not wearing pants must circle in the
direction of their own choosing. A player may remove the book from
his/her/its pants so long as he/she/it does this without pausing in
his/her/its rotation and emission of monkey noises. A member of the
defensive line of a team may also make repairs to or kick that team's
robot during play. Although players may wear any garments they choose in
any quantity they choose, he/she/it must remove any garment stained with
blood fromm either robot. Team members may not don new garments during
play. Any participant who fails to comply with any of these rules must
move directly to the sidelines of the field, where he/she/it must dance a
jig for the rest of the inning. Failure to dance a jig under these
circumstances results in the end of the inning and the awarding of a point
to the opposing team. The inning must continue until one robot reaches the
goal of its own team, both robots catch fire, a player remanded to the
sidelines fails to continuously dance a jig, or one team forfeits. At the
end of an inning, the referee calls a halt to play and teams may make
repairs to their robots, reposition their robots, replenish their stocks
of books, and reclothe their team members in non-bloodstained garments.
As soon as both teams have returned to their starting positions, the
referee may commence the next inning. Except in the case of forfeiture on
the part of one team, the two teams continue to play until one team wins
by amassing six hundred, sixty-six points. The winning team may then eat
the losing team.

2. All-American Athletics

rules: Play occurs between two or more teams. At the start of the game,
each participant holds one meat product (e.g. balogna slice, bratwurst,
chicken drumstick, sirloin steak, loaf of head cheese, etc.). Cooking of
meat products is optional. When the referee calls for play to commence,
each participant must rub a participant from an opposing team with a meat
product. Any participant who leaves the field of play voluntarily,
urinates, deficates, vomits, or reaches orgasm is disqualified and must
leave the field. A disqualified participant may bequeathe his/her/its
meat product to a participant still in play. Play continues until only one
team has participants still in play. This team is then the winner.

I hope that you will considder my suggestions and that you will schedule
whatever event you choose for a day other than Sunday, as I cannot
possibly attend on Sunday. Any day of the week would be better than Sunday
for the purposes of my schedule. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Adam Craig
