Charleston, The Greatest City on Earth


I love this city. It's a fact, it's the greatest city known to man. Discovered by the Aussies in 1904, they named it Charles-ton, which of course means in Aussie means "Kangaroo Pouch."

There's no way that's correct.

Sorry, I was just trying to impress everyone. To be honest I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago. But I can tell you of this amazing city. Girls more plentiful than grapes at the vineyard. And beer, some of the best beer the world has ever seen. The downtown scene is bumpin'. On a recent visit up to the Great Land of Ladies to visit Nashionals, we cruised this scene. We went to a sweet little spot on the River called Reds. Very fun little establishment. There seems to be a high deck called the Tree House but it was reserved by a gathering of old farts. So then it was to South End Brewery. This is one of the finest establishments I've ever been to. Wonderful house beer and free darts. This is where the majority of my inebriation took place. Drinking pitchers and playing darts, an amazing combo, though not the best for trying to win a game of darts. Next we went somewhere I can't remember the name to. However, upon entering there we tables of girls, with no guys. This is why I love Charleston. What an outstanding ratio. If there is a better city out there, let me know. But I probably won't believe you.

Random World Records


It's amazing to me that so many people invent rediculous, stupid, and disgusting events just so they can say that they have a world record. Who cares that some guy can squirt milk out of his eyes? I know that my life is vastly improved knowing this information (a good dose of heavy sarcasm should be a world record). Anyways, here are some obscure world records, most of which can be found in the Guinness Book of World Records. Please comment on others that I have so carelessly left out.

Daniel Komen: fastest two miles 7:58.61

Ken Looi: 24 hours, 814 laps, 378.7 km, 235.3 miles. Average lap time 15.78 km/hr, 9.8
miles/hr on a unicycle, laps around the Basin Reserve in Wellington

Thirsty Thursdays


Baseball....the great American pasttime. Now available in High Def on ESPN. But there's no substitute for the pure joy that comes from being at the field, cheering on one's favorite team while being completely smashed. This enjoyment even spills over into Minor League baseball. Though we might not be as dedicated to a Single A team as we are our professional dynasties, these games still provide that sense of awe and wonder... Alright, truth be told we only go to Minor League games to get shit faced and heckle. And now we can do it for half price. Thirsty Thursdays, a tradition like no other. Two beers for the price of one. I was only recently introduced to this amazing ritual a couple of weeks ago, by no other than my main squeeze, The Sallinator. Though, there are not home games on Thursday every week, such as this one. I have been to two outings. The first being the one of the best times I've had all summer, though I don't remember past the 7th inning. This time included myself being heckled by a fellow fan, insinuating that "he'd like to see me get out there and do it" after I hinted that our pitcher couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. The second time I was lucky enough to be the DD. This however did have it's advantages. I was able to remember the whole game, though the Sand Gnats lost. Also, I enjoyed the company of many friends, including my roommates Richard and Byron, Salley Bird, and other various Ultimate companions. We had a great time. So until next Thursday, I must wait in anticipation for the time when I can get ablsolutely inebriated at a Minor League baseball game.

Intro to the Domination


Sup, Bra? I would be William Moore, aka Wilbur. Some might say I am one of the coolest people of all time. I haven't met these people yet. I'm just about to be 21 year of age. Yes, I'm young blood. But this should not confuse your idea of how I roll. I dominate. That's how I roll. Anything really, Ultimate, basketball, baseball, making things out of clay. Currently, I'm living in Savannah, GA. Beautiful, humid, sweltering Savannah. I will be back in school in the fall at Georgia Tech. I am in Savannah because of my coop opportunity with Great Dane Trailers. That's right, I help design trailers. Or just sit in the office and play on the internet, which is what I'm doing right now. Anyways, hopefully I'll find something useful to talk about that might somewhat entertain your minds.
