Making Valentines at K-State

There is a SafeHouse--Veronica's Voice-- for women who have been trafficked and are now away from that evil. The K-State Women's Center invited students to make valentines to send to the house. We are always touched by the care and kindness shown.
In fact, the staff at the table next to ours, from University Crossing Apartments, made valentines AND gave us muffins!
Thank you to all. click on pics to enlarge.

way more fun than calculus

Yeah, if you need Valentines made, Call Us...

At the KSU men’s basketball game last night,

during the chant where the Crowd yells,

 “We…Are…Wildcats!” a large section of students near me were adding a four-syllable obscenity in between, yelling at the top of their voices,

 “We Are The M…..F….Wildcats!” Sadness for the four children standing in front of me (always sit behind tiny peeps at a BB game…)
Why can’t they just be Wildcats? Why do the have to be M..F.. Wildcats?

I wish, when the other team was introduced, the Kansas State University Student Body would find clever ways to react. What if the entire crowd fell dead silent but clapped politely?
What if when KU comes to play basketball here, when each player is introduced, we all yell, “Good luck Brian!” or “Hello Jimmy!” That would do more to freak them out than yelling snotty stuff anyway...

K-State Football with Texas Tech: Cleaner and Classier on the Field than on the Radio Show

Kansas State University at Texas Tech’s Halloween stadium. We are 5-0 and the underdog.
Breezed through a coupla Red blogs from down south last night and it appears they think they will beat us by 20 or more points. One said, they will beat the "feral Kitties" by 30 points...

Oh, an INTERCEPTION less than a minute in and on into a touchdown. Yawn!! This is getting predictable…

Barkeep!
 I must say I miss the atmosphere we enjoyed at Willies last time out, against Miami. i shant say where we are today...

feral kitties

 I think I am going to Cocobolos next time, which would be the ideal. Breezy patio air, on the outer Edge of the ‘Ville so that one is not surrounded by stumbling intoxies but can watch the most wretched of them veering out onto bluemont avenue (hoping to make it home to puke in private).

Bolos has the necessary dimensions for fine football watching. A Menu with variety in width, depth, and length, as well as several dimensions folded into themselves and unapparent immediately— such as daily change specials and bananas foster anyone? Really intelligent waitresses. Really.

 Yeah they are totally beautiful as well; and generous and cheerful generally; clever with humor and nuance and authentic enough to be grouchy when they are grouchy. Cheers. The cooks are fine and cool and the barkeeper is like the barkeeps in DC- snotty, hipper than thou, but better looking than the old crows who staff the worn dark wood bars inside the doughnut of Washington. The Cox brothers serve everyone in town’s charity events with generosity and food good enough to make a Bishop kick out stain glass windows…

So freshman Lockett just RETURNs for a TOUCHDOWn. Good dog.

Here we go; the POINT: During the radio pre-show, a guest was talking with our K-State Football Pre-show radio boys. He was like, the color commentator down there in TT ville.

I was driving the truck down a country road, enjoying the pregame feeling, the anticipation of game night, and this clown was attempting to use metaphor or simile to spice up his commentary. Oh he was (half-way to being) a wit.
He made a joke that basically said men are so stupid or so driven by their base urges that the discomfort of seeing their ex-wife might be mitigated, that they might even be be happy to welcome their divorced wife back after a time of not seeing her-- if she had had  “a boob job.” Yes, he said like "if your ex wife had a boob job" you might be glad to see the return of ...blah blah.. really.

Hysterical. Demeaning of men. I don’t care for humor that portrays men as lustful idiots. “If a woman has enlarged certain of her body parts, well, then, uh, duh, I can’t remember why our family broke up.” Heh. so clever. Move over howard cosell.

[[Holy moley they are at it again

 with Oklahoma at the homecoming game-HERE]]

He also compared a certain texas coach’s bad team one year with children who suffer from Muscular Dystrophy.    I ain’t kiddin’.   - he said, You know how Jerry Lewis’ kids, the whole MD thing? Well, this team,  these WERE Jerry’s kids…
I was a little surprised.
Vulgar, sexist, and insensitive (without the humor)
Our radio guys then invited him to come to K-State and comment with them here at Bill Snyder Stadium. Has asked if he could have alcoholic beverage before, during, and after “putting on the headphones”—that is, during the radio show.

i guess because He was such a colorful guy. Reminded me of an insecure young college girl or boy who will drink too much and then misinterpret her loud, brashy talk and lewdish behavior as breezy, carefree abandon. (and the laughter of those nearby as praise rather than boorish piggy snorting)

i gotcher feral kittens

K-State now leads.
Big Mo is moving.
 Time to split this joint, where the K-state fans are loud and happy, albeit not with the service this evening; and now a bit worried as texas tech moves ahead (by one point) with 3:55 in the half. Bill Snyder’s inscrutable face  appears on the Big Screen, but that is not enough to keep me here, as the group has rightly decided there is greener grass just on the other side of that fence.    Adios, Perros Buenos.

KSU Wildcats at Miami: College Football After the Equinox at Willie's in Manhattan

Three touchdown videos below--There was food galore, delicious cocktails, and points on the board. Willlie's Bar and Grille and the Irish Pub Down Under always please.

 The first half was pretty much for K-State football fans.

Amber the wait(don't sue me)roid made a pot 'o coffee just for me.

To put my Baily's in.

 And the sweet and beautiful Whitney Snyder was in the house, with a positively Phine young man we wager is her new Fiance....

Here is Bill Snyder showing off his ability of Bilocation...

unhappy miami hurricanes

Al Golden not pleased

"... You get a 12-point underdog’s neck under your boot at home, you’re supposed to stomp it. Not let it bite you right in your favoritism. Somebody forgot to tell Kansas State it was the bootee. So the dog Wildcats just reared right up and slapped Golden’s new program in the kisser. Rudely.

28-24. People could blame UM quarterback Jacory Harris, who couldn’t get the ball across from 2 yards out with 49 seconds left..."  Read more: http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/09/25/2423602/miami-hurricanes-let-this-one.html
