Big Bang Shroom 2011

And another successful CWS comes to a close. I take pride in having an event like the College World Series in Omaha because I think it's nice for other people across the country to see that Nebraska isn't all farm land and cows. Especially right now as most people flew into Eppley I bet they were quite surprised to see we have a gorgeous new blue lake that covers most green space and even houses, as well. What Omaha won't do to impress CWS fans.

Although I was only able to be in the CWS commotion for one night I certainly did enjoy myself. We hit up the new hot spots like "The Matt" and "Goodnights" and my dad almost stumbled into "Capitol" but I quickly warned him to get back. Having left my blonde extensions and clip-in hair feather at home I was in no position to be at such a Ke$ha happening spot.I was also disappointed to see that Farrah wasn't working at Goodnights, she must have been home with Sophia. The Matt was fun, but I'm still uncomfortable with this nickname, Mattress Factory is just as easy to say. I didn't see a lot of the small town jersey wearing thugs that had began penetrating Paulis in the last few years so that was nice. And by God whether Nebraska was playing or not our fans made sure to show up in their colors. You can never go wrong with Husker gear, no sir you can't. I did find it rather appalling how many young girls I saw walking around with the "I love Cocks" shirts. Too much. Let's put those shirts on the do not wear list right next to Coed Naked and Playboy attire. You're a whore, we get it. Yes, I'm being frank, but I can't help it, this is Nebraska and we don't tolerate filth like that. Walk across the walking bridge for those types of shenanigans.

Speaking of clothing, am I the only one who would like to know why baseball coaches wear the same uniform as their players? What's goin on here, I don't think this happens in any other sport. What if Doc Sadler wore a baggy basketball jersey and high tops to every game? I bet he would like that, and the officials would probably take his tantrums must more seriousy. Why don't wrestling coaches wear singlets? Better question, why do Nebraska wrestlers take naked photos of themselves for gay porn sites? I guess these are just some things we'll just never know, but I can't help but wonder.

We are less than two days away from one of the best American holidays of the year! Oh boy, I am excited! Not only is it Harlow's first 4th of July but it's Knox's too! And so far so good with both of them, neither get bothered by the loud fireworks at all. I was nervous to see if Har, like most dogs, had a past life as a solider that still haunted him. Our poor Doberman, Jagz, camps out in my parents bathroom this whole week in fear of the loud booms. I don't know what he experienced in war but it must have been bad. We can barely coax him outside long enough to relieve himself, and even them he's constantly looking over his shoulder for someone to drop a grenade on him. Saturday night, Norfolk's annual Big Bang Boom celebration, will be a hard night for him. Also cleverly titled the Big Bang Shroom, depending on who you're talking to. We owe so many thanks to the Bob Marley listening high school kids in Norfolk for great community things like our run down skate park, the Big Bang Shroom, our always struggling boys soccer team, and really those are the only three things I can think of? Fireworks and hallucinogens, how original. Had I drank in high school more than ten times I would have played drinking games on this night taking a pull every time someone said words like "trippy" "sick" and "knarley." Who needs drugs when you have all of the worlds best finger foods right at your, well, finger tips. Pinwheels and pickle roll ups and bean dip and pulled any-kind-of-meat sandwiches! I've got too much food to eat this weekend to worry about dilated pupils or huge penguins.
