A legendary crooner passed away recently and it brought back to mind one of Will Ferrell's greatest sketches. Goulet had to be one of the last of his kind alive.

Our History.....
I know this isn't our real histoy. But I'd like to think it could be......

A few excerpts:
"In Edna's house were many mansions. At least, the people who lived there thought so."
"Edna's House was a foyer to eternity, the final stop before the pearly gates, their last – and for some, their first – real home."
"Edna had worked the other end of this vale of tears too, delivering more than 300 babies in her career"

A lateral here....a lateral there
This is pretty unbelievable. Kinda like our play against the Leather Balls in the flag football Championship, only with 14 more laterals. I think I saw a Gray pirouette in there somewhere. Headhunters!

Some Ideas
So here are some ideas for shirts. Sorry if everything isn't as clear as it should be. This website looks like the shirts would be about $20 for an order of 9. They are as customizable as you want them to be, just no color pictures.
The first pic has a front that reads: The Men of Edna and then an '08.
The bottom of the front of this one reads: Hunt for the Golden Duke 2008
This one is for the site. The back reads: UNtil THen! and then the website.

T-Shirts
Men,
I had a thought today and I believe you all will agree with it. I believe this year we need to add a T-Shirt for Man's Weekend. The person in charge of course and has the final say should be, of course the Golden Duke winner, JDL. Now I say we come up with a logo that will always go on the right breast and then from year to year the back changes and the color of the shirt changes. We could call are selves the Men of EDNA or something like that and have a cool logo. I think the shirts should be brought to the weekend, which we need to decide when that will be. So lets get the ball rolling for Justin. Any ideas?

See you in a minute!
Everyone have a safe weekend. If you're near a magnolia tree, grab a leaf for David Lee Roth. He seems to have misplaced his.
I Still Love Technology
I have made it. Thank you all for being so patient. I talked to Landon last year about printing off a hard copy of the blog and snail mailing it to me once a month. However, this plan never came to fruition due to the sensitive material that would be traveling through the mail syatem. I have already neglected my job, wife, child, and unborn child due to reading this website. Since I am now an official member, I was wondering if someone could photoshop me into the picture at the top of the page. Andrew, I thought today that you have also come the closest to meeting Regis Philbin in person out of our group. You were only about 3 years late. However, closer than I will ever be. I am sure that you all have been thinking of the game shows that you will go apply for within the next month, here are some of mine:
Lingo
Identity
Deal or no Deal (I prefer games that require no skill, less chance of me making a fool of myself)
World Series of Poker
As for myself and Jennifer, we are doing great. Jacob is growing up, and he knows everything we say now. He has even learned to try to conn both of us. I never thought I would be proud to see my child try to con me, but I was. The next Jones is on the way and will be due in March. We find out what it is next week. We are hoping it is a baby. I hope to see you all soon, and I can not wait to share some Office humor with my buds.

Viera and Me
Well, it's Thursday morning in the Big Apple. D-Day plus one.
It's been a long, stressful, fun week. Yesterday was nerve-racking, sweaty, and fun.
Here's the abridged version. Got to ABC at 6:00 in the morning. I didn't have to there until 7:00, but you know what they say, "The early bird catches the million dollars." Luckily, I saw one of the 2 million Starbucks in NYC and went and got a coffee. I meandered back to ABC and they let us in at 7:00.
They took us to the green room where we would spend most of the day. BTW, the green room isn't green. They fed us breakfast and then a lawyer came in to warn us off all the bad things we were not allowed to do....
Side Note: Gentlemen, it is VERY IMPORTANT that no one knows the outcome of my show. Through the powers of deductive reasoning from Justin and Aaron's posts you can figure out how I did, but please tell NOBODY and make sure your wives tell NOBODY. I had to sign a nondisclosure document that stated if I told anyone how I did...they could not pay me!! Don't mess with my money, fools!!!
And we're back...Then a producer came in and went through pretty much everything the lawyer said. (Refer to Side Note above) Then they took us down to the studio and we practiced walking in and getting into the chair, getting out of the chair and walking out. And then it was hurry up and wait...and wait...and wait...
My biggest worry was that I wouldn't tape yesterday. There was a chance that I was going to have to come back next Tuesday (which would be very difficult). Fortunately, I was one of the first ones. They called me down and put me on the "on deck" circle. I could go at any moment....and then we broke for lunch.
When we got back from lunch, it was my turn. I walked out there and saw Laura (for the first time that day) and then there she was...Viera. We sat down, chatted a little bit, and then it was business time (because it was Wednesday). I cruised through the first few questions...stumbled a bit on the next few questions...kept going...and then I was slain by a freaking French question. I mean, come on, the bloody French!?!?! I called Justin with an impossible question... Justin asked Viera, "What's up?" The crowd and Viera laughed. Well played, Justin.
And then the game may or may not have ended, if you see what I'm saying. The phrase I'm using is, "It was a good day, but not a great day." Thanks to all for your thought, prayers, availability, etc. I talk to all of you soon.
P.S. Seriously, no can know the outcome of my show.

The Final Countdown!
That means the day is here. It's time to put Andrew in the Hot Seat, and win a Million dollars. I just had a conference call with someone from the show and all the lifelines. The rules are as follows:
- He will be on today anytime between 11-6:30 p.m. Central time. So I have to be at my phone during these times.
- We will get a call when Andrew gets into the Hot Seat, just to let us know.
- Once he uses the lifeline, we are supposed to let the phone ring three times, and answer saying "Hello" (seemed pretty obvious, but I guess it needed to be said)
- Meredith will come on and do her thing, then the 30 second clock starts as soon as Andrew starts talking. She told us to not have any chit-chat, as this limits your time to answer.
- Once we're done with the question or the 30 seconds runs out, the call will be disconnected from him, but someone else will come on the line (don't know why, maybe I'll get to listen to the rest of the show, hopefully)
UPDATE: Justin @ 1:24 pm CST
I just broke away from my desk to use the bathroom, I had to go so bad. I didn't miss any calls though, so we're still good. 5 hours to go. I wish I could have a pizza delivered to my desk.
UPDATE: Justin @ 2:50 pm CST
I just got the call, Andrew just started the game. The next call will be from Meredith. This is INTENSE!
UPDATE: Justin @ 3:15 pm CST
I just got the call from "Vierra" as she called herself. The question was: A Canape, a finger food, is a french word that also means what? (something like that)
So I google it, it takes me to Wikipedia, but its the article about the finger food. I'm scanning the finger food article, because I'm thinking its gonna mention it. Then it's 10 seconds, 5 seconds. I say that I see see something about a Canopy, but no furniture. Then the line goes dead. As soon as the line goes dead, I click this, and it shows you that it's a sofa. DANG IT! So that was it. I didn't help him at all. I hope he didn't lose because of me, but that was the fastest 30 seconds of my life. I feel pretty awful about the whole thing. I really let him down. I hope he used the 50/50 or ask the audience, STUPID GOOGLE!
UPDATE: Aaron @ 5:25 pm So this is what a canape looks like.
I sure hope that Andrew will never waste any of his money buying something that looks like!!! Still awaiting word, email, or text message as to how it all turned out, what some of his other questions were, what did he wear, did he get out any Memphis, TTU, or EDNA references.

I'm keeping an up-to-date run down of today's events. Check back for more updates as the day goes on. Aaron, if you have anything to add, please do.
UPDATE: 45 minutes into it, and I am really nervous. No calls from them yet to let me know he's in the seat. I can imagine how much Andrew is sweating. He has a bit of a problem. I have Google, Wikipedia and Yahoo answers pulled up. Anything else I should use?
UPDATE from Aaron @ University of Missouri Hospital 6th floor West. It's 12:02 central time (1:02 for andrew)
Still nothing since the above mentioned phone call. The call came from the Two-One-Two area code. I did kind of panic a little bit when the call came. The best part of the conference call was when it was dead silence waiting for all parties to be patched in and I was sending an email to Justin asking him if they were calling him, when I hear a very quiet voice whispering on the phone "hey aaron...it's justin...what's up" There were two females that are also on the phone a friend list. Linda (is that his Mom? I can't remember.) and some other girl. Does anyone know of the identity of these two ladies and what is their base of knowledge.
I have talked to the unit clerks and given them explicit directions that they are to page me as soon as Meredith is on the phone. I am crossing my fingers that all goes smoothly if I am called upon. Right now I am heading downstairs to the residents lounge for a quick sandwich and hurrying back up to be ready for the million dollar question.
UPDATE: Justin @ 1:24 pm CST
I just broke away from my desk to use the bathroom, I had to go so bad. I didn't miss any calls though, so we're still good. 5 hours to go. I wish I could have a pizza delivered to my desk.

Tomorrow Andrew leaves the safe, protected Memphis area and heads to the dangerous, liberal infested, Gommorah-esque city of New York with the goal of winning one million dollars. With this in mind let's all give him some advice for the competition and for his travels.......1. If some guy stops you on the street and asks to borrow your cell phone, don't give it to him, he doesn't have "borrow" in mind.
2. If you attend a Broadway play it is not socially acceptable to throw hundreds of tiny sheets of toilet paper in the air after the first musical number, I don't care what they do at Tech during big basketball games.
3. Keep in mind Laura is from the north. She may revert back to her 0ld northern habits. If she starts using the F word as a verb, noun, adjective, and adverb just go with it. Also, if she starts railing about socialized health care and how Hillary would be such a strong leader immediately show her a picture of Bill Clinton and ask her if that's who she wants as the next Vice President. She doesn't know what she's doing. Let her go watch a field hockey game and that should sooth her.
4. Just because there will be hot dog vendors on every corner, that doesn't mean you have to stop everytime. Remember there will be one at the next corner if you are really hungry.
5. Whatever you do, don't saying anything about Derek Jeter's questionable sexuality. He is like a god there. You may not make it out alive. If you have to make a comment let it be something like, "A-Rod, more like A-Not in the Post Season, who's with me?" and put your hand in the air, or "Steinbrenner is a real d*ck."
Hope this helps your time in the city.

Happy Birthday, Kevin...
Kevin's birthday was yesterday. I didn't want to post this and step on Landon's well-crafted post.
Kevin, 28 is a good year. Live it up.

TTU Homecoming 2007
Today was Homecoming at TTU. I searched my drawers for an old Tech shirt, but in one of the most difficult times in our marriage, Kandice in haste, gave a multitude of my t-shirts to Goodwill. That was two years ago and I'm still recovering today. So I decided to wear our AOK Off the Heezy for Sheezy 2002 shirt, no big deal, right. Well, I didn't know that Tech was playing Austin Peay, I felt like big ass standing in the parade with a red t-shirt on, at least Malcolm had purple Mule Day shirt on. Here is a link to the parade pictures and an update on the current state of Edna. I give it two years before it is bought by a surgical group and our memories are buried in anesthesia.

Fall TV Lineup
How was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
-Dr. Gregory House
I'd be interested to hear what TV shows you guys are planning to get hooked on this year. Carmen and I have been watching some of the old favorites, but there are some pretty good new ones that look promising.
So far the primetime fall-linueup shows that we both watch (because I don't watch OC reruns) are as follows:
Old favorites:
- Rules Of Engagement
- House
- My Name is Earl
- The Office
New favorites:
- Chuck
- Big Bang Theory
- Life
- Journeyman
- Bionic Woman not too sure on this one
Carmen gave me one of my birthday presents early too. She got Halo 3 for me and I love it. I hope to be playing it at Men's Weekend '08 if there are any challengers. Peace out my nerds.
