even though we were tied with the blue and & maize going into this contest...we're a real ball team, and they're moderately lucky
TOMORROW=SUPER BOWL
Kerry's prediciton?
Bud Light will dominate this year 19-14....
oh...about the pats and cats?
let's see....I may be going out on a limb with this one, but I'm gonna say 45-2 in favor of the pats...
the panthers will block an extra point attempt and run back to the opposite end zone to account for the 2....in case you were wondering

The Machines are Revolting!
ok, I'm sorry with what I said about computers yesterday....I like machines.... really i do...
today as I was cooking my favorite lunch time treat (pop tarts), I decided to go to the potty....when I came back, not only had the pop tarts caught fire....but had also set fire to a nearby roll of paper towels...
when you're faced with a dangerous situation like this....you don't think....instinct just takes over...
...so I shit in my pants....
after that, I threw some water on the toaster (that was still plugged in)....hmmm....good idea kerry...and you graduated from college?
so now I'm sitting here in my smoke filled apartment wondering why machines hate me....oh yeah...I put the fire out too!

And the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again...who's bad!?
.
Michael Jackson...I've pretty much steered clear of mentioning you in my weblog, as making fun of you is as obvious as a turd in a bowl of milk....
However, I somehow feel as though we have a lot in common...and no, its not because of my past convictions
its because people have being calling you weird for most of your life....something I can assimilate to...I feel your pain brother, and when the allegations came out I had to think, 'just because he's really weird, that doesn't make him a child molester.' well michael....my support is waning and I'll tell you why...
I think Dave Berry put it this way...Who is your public relations person? Charles Manson? Who told you it would be a good idea to dance on top of a car and wave to fans when you're accused of child molestation? That person needs to be fired...immediately.
Michael...some things that you have said and done trouble me....its fine that you invite kids to sleepover at your house...but why are the young boys the only ones allowed to stay in the room with you? why are their sisters kept in a completely separate room, and their mothers kept in a completely spearate building? I'm not even gonna get started on whatever 'jesus juice' is......
but all in all what's so bad about feeding little kids wine? That's so cool! Once when I was 6, my uncle let me have a sip of beer
and it is still the defining moment of my life...

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!
THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! I was sure that the computer I was working on today was sent here by satan....after 3 hours of typing code....I clicked print and it froze....it froze....let me say that again....it froze...so after throwing holy water at the demonic piece of crap and kicking the shit out of the lab assistant (as if it were somehow his fault) I calmed down and pushed the vein back into my forehead.
Dear Dell....
you just made the list! Be afraid....be very afraid...Kerry has more important things to do (watch extreme makeover) then sit around and fool with your silly machines!

Most Hilarious Thing Ever
Ok...so as I was sitting in the lab yesterday....just bored outta my mind I came upon this webpage...I was laughing to the point where people asked me to 'keep it down' ....maybe it was the webpage...maybe it was the nitrous...we'll never know....I just found it particularly funny with all the marriage talk lately and going to bridal shops, bridal expos, reception halls, yada yada yada with my sister....

even I can admit....
From reading previous posts, it may be evident that I have a fair amount of antimosity for other Big Ten teams....it has also been brought to my attention that I have made no reference to Saturday's loss to Wisconsin after I guaranteed victory to everyone I came into contact with (Illini fans, non Illini fans, inanimate objects, you name it)
...what can I say...this was the first time in my life I have ever been wrong....and I didn't know exactly how to react.
I'm a big person, and even I can admit that we were beaten....there I said it...we got beat....
but we all know that George Washington lost two thirds of his battles before winning the war and becoming prez...
Napoleon graduated 42nd in his class of 43....
so we got beat....but like George Washington, we will win the WAR! like Napoleon, we will be exiled to Elba! (ok, maybe not the best analogy) ....but its all the same. I feel a guarantee coming on....
WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS COME MARCH MADNESS!!! after all....I couldn't be wrong twice in one lifetime....that would just be uncanny...

Letter to my Auto
Dear Little 1991 Shadow,
when I woke up today....I was so excited to see you! You were going to make my trip to class so much more expedient! I love you! So I rushed down the stairs and gently put the key in your ignition (because I know you're ticklish), but when I turned it....nothing....not even a sigh....not even a wimper...
You have to understand how that made me feel.....It was a slap in the face, like you were saying,
"Screw you, Kerry...I'm perfectly well aware that a foot of snow fell last night, but I wanna watch you trudge through a mile and a half of slop and shit! I only like to give you trouble on the most unpleasant days of the year...it makes me laugh."
Well my little friend, you forget that you are replacable. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow....but one day when I have more than $50 in my account, I will find a new love, and you will be left to rot....You angered me so much today!!! Part of me hopes that your next owner is an 87 year old man with terrible cataracts!! (even though students, lawyers and doctors are those most likely to get into accidents)
Despite today's events...I love you. We've been together for five wonderful years and I wouldn't trade a day of it for anything (except maybe unlimited sacks of cash)...I'm not sure I would be living life the way it was intended to be without your moderately loud roar and noxious fumes....
YOU COMPLETE ME....and I hope you know that
Love Your Owner,
Kerry
If you actually made it to the end of this letter....you're more bored than I was when I wrote it....I fear for you my friend....I fear

See, the Pope rocks the house!
I'm Catholic...and no, I don't have 12 kids or anything...sitting in church on this past Saturday, I noticed that I was the only person in the joint without white hair...people my age just don't think that church is very interesting (myself included).
actually my view of religion follows more of what I see in 'The Simpsons' rather than what the Pope does...
"And as we pass the collection plate, please give as if the person next to you was watching."
-Reverend Lovejoy
"I remember another gentle visitor from the heavens, he came in peace and then died, only to come back to life, and his name was E.T., the extra terestrial. I loved that little guy."
- Reverend Lovejoy
c'mon, that's just hilarious!
but score one for the pope....that hip old dude, at a young 167 years old....had wicked cool breakdancers to perform for him....its good to be the pope
let there be light beer!

Sorry for the Delay
sorry...I realize my last post hasn't been in a while, but yesterday I accidentally barged in on an over-eaters anonymous meeting....they didn't take kindly to my 5'8" 120lb bony ass....so I spent last night in the hospital...and trust me, mad cow disease IS a very serious epidemic as was discovered....
actually that story was more interesting than than the truth...I'm at home trying on bridesmaids dresses for my sister's wedding...
posting to resume later today or tomorrow for my most devoted....
and for those offended by my teasing of a support group....please send your complaints to kerry@IDon'tGiveADamn.com

Profound thinking after several beers
So...A few months ago some friends and I were discussing the fact that an actor had to play a retarded person before gaining critical acclaim....
Dustin Hoffman in 'Rainman'
he's a genius!
Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Whats Eating Gilbert Grape?'
another genius performance
That guy from 'Shine'
he won an oscar...didn't he?
Now I am adding to the theory....when an ACTRESS wants critical acclaim....she has to be a beautiful woman who uglies herself up....
Nicole Kidman in 'the Hours'
never uglier, but what a great performance
now its Charlize Theron....
man...30 pounds heavier and all kinds of nasty make-up in the new movie 'Monster'
but no doubt she will win the Oscar
so....long story short....you have to be retarded or a beautiful ugly broad in hollywood to get an academy award

Damn BCS!
Seems as though people are STILL bitching about the BCS system here at Northern Illinois (the Huskies were the only 10 win team to not receive a bowl bid). To their credit, there isn't much else to talk about...before this we had long involved debates about corn and barbed wire....but...
I feel their pain....the BCS screwed the Illini too....I mean, we DID beat Illinois State....isn't that a quality win? I found it ridiculous that they couldn't bend their precious rules to include the most exciting, driven, motivated 1-11 team I've seen in my lifetime....I wrote several letters defending the honor of my illini, but it was to no avail....all I received was an additional restraining order to add to my modest stack (most of them involving my never-ending desire to molest Michael Jackson)....
to conclude
the system is in dire need of revamping so we can avoid the injustices brought to me and my teams...the sooner people begin to realize that the world revolves around me, the sooner we can cut through all this hooey and get down to business!
Oh, and Northern Illinois, please realize that sometimes no bowl at all will get you far more publicity than going to a goofy ass 'charmin toilet paper bowl'

ATTENTION LAZY FAT ASSES:
ok, when there are 14 floors in a building, and you enter the elevator and press the button to let you off at the second floor....you really piss me off...
Why don't you waddle your fat ass up those 18 (I counted them) stairs necessary to reach your destination...I have a cattle prod in my backpack and I will not hesitate to use it....let this serve as your warning

The year is 4701....at least it is on the Chinese calendar.....so does that mean that the Chinese are from the future? hmmmm, I see... that's so cool! ....well I guess that would explain why fortune cookies are always so accurate.....
Ah yes, the Year of the Monkey....this bodes well for me....happy Chinese New Year

MORE CRUCIAL RESEARCH DONE BY BADGERS!
I like to keep abreast of the research done by U of I (*cough cough* two Nobel prize winners this past year), and some of our Big Ten counterparts....thats how I came across the recent story of the breakthrough "cheese cutting laser" from the University of Wisconsin (January 15)...
I understand that this research seems a bit silly....so i wanted to give Wisconsin another chance to redeem itself....and they did not disappoint!
In 1991, the forward thinking Badgers decided to devote research dollars to the study of "Rhinotillexomania," more commonly known as nose-picking....I've said it before and I'll say it again....Wisconsin....your contributions to mankind know no bounds! Let's hear it!
I'm being cruel....maybe I shouldn't 'pick' on Wisconsin....even their politicians have low self esteem...
"I don't care if people don't like me. I don't like me."

An Astrologer is wrong!? Get outta town!
The untimely death of John Ritter is certainly tragic, as the world will undoubtedly be robbed of more "Problem Child" sequels (these films are cinematic masterpieces....second only to 'Saved by the Bell Goes Hawaiian' in my opinion)...
Back to the point....
John Ritter's horoscope was printed in the New York Daily News on September 12th (the day after he tragically died of a torn aorta). The syndicated column by Joyce Jillson begins, "John Ritter is a lovable character...Having a Virgo sun sign helps keep his career ticking."
I think you may have misread this one, Joyce....maybe you should get some Windex for your crystal ball.
This info was brought to my attention by the Skeptical Enquirer Magazine

What is it About these Last two stories that makes me want to live in Russia!?
One weekend when I was home from U of I, my mom ran to the door and shook me upon entering the house shrieking, "Kerry! I was just watching 20/20 and Dateline (every neurotic parent's window to the world)....I know what you kids are up to! I don't want you doing that 'hour of power' drinking game thing!".....and of course I responded with...."mom, why would I waste my time with that?....I belong to the 'century club.'"
beer bongs....century club....keg stands....power hour....
all child's play....
In Russia its everyone's favorite! VODKA.....and unfortunately the king of this drinking contest had a very short reign!

Homicide with a Smile!
"Sorry I bludgeoned you with my harpoon, sir....are you ok? you mean to say that you're dead? My most profound apologies!" Chicago is the murder capital of the US! However, in another recent poll...Chicago was found to be the 9th most polite city in the US.... so maybe murder and politeness are independent of each other after all!

LACES OUT, DAN!
Watching the Indy v. New England game (half time)....Peyton....what's up with you? You look like a Bears quarterback....I'll tell you what's up...YOU PLAY IN A DOME!!! THATS NOT REAL FOOTBALL!!!! God knows I love Tom Brady...but the better qb this season is Manning...but I've said it before and I'll say it again....football was meant to be played outside...in the elements...vanderjagt and wilkins....how many points would you have this year if you had to deal with the wind!?
The ONLY thing good about Green Bay (and I emphasize ONLY) is that you play outside...but I could be wrong....it didn't give you the edge this season....now did it!?
HA HA HA (maniacal laughter)

Gym? or nightclub?
I love some girls that go to the gym to "work out." Hair, and make-up is completely done....wearing a skin tight $80 sweat suit from Express...then they stroll around....stretch...and wait to be noticed...music is blaring...I feel like I should have a drink in my hand just walking around that place

VOTE JERRY KOHN!....who!?
What can you say about Jerry Kohn....a hard-working guy who rides his bicycle to work and tucks his pants into his socks...now he's a libertarian candidate from Illinois for United States Senate...I happen to be 'trollin the internet and came upon this webpage for a dude who was MY high school social studies teacher all those years ago (about 7 actually)...I may have thought this webpage was a joke if I didn't know the guy....I mean, if your webpage is about self-promotion....what's up with that broke picture? We all know you're much more attractive than that *cough* Next time, let me help you out with the webpage bro....you've got the info....but none of that political jazziness!
I'm sorry Mr. Kohn, you're probably the smartest guy I've ever met, and you'll be happy to know that your former student is also a libertarian, and will be wasting her vote....just for you!

Top 25 athletes of the past 25 years?
ok....maybe I'm still bitter about emmitt breaking walter payton's record....any true Bears fan would be....maybe I shouldn't have left him off my list, but it still doesn't change the fact that I think that Lance Armstrong has been the most superb athlete in the world in recent years...and what's better? He represents the Red White and Blue, baby!....what do you think?

Profound Thinking After Several Beers....
After following the Iowa caucuses....something occurs to me...is there any wonder why we haven't had a woman president? I won't be able to run for president until I'm 35! I'll be a withered, ugly, old prune by then....women age poorly....men on the other hand, get far more attractive with age (need I say more than richard gere....53 years old and still a fox)...I have no doubt that if the Olsen Twins or Britney Spears were on the ticket that they would win....why? because voters are absolutely ridiculous e.g. Jesse 'the body' and Arnold. We know why Carol Moseley isn't in the race anymore...it isn't because she's a crook....its because her 'junk in the trunk' has sunk! The President of the United States represents all of us...do we want some saggy-boobed, dumpy assed broad? or a silver fox? The choice is clear....and apparently I've sent the women's rights movement back at least 30 years with my last statement.
Final Word:
Vote for John Kerry....I'm not even close to being a Democrat....but a 'Vote for Kerry' is the closest I'll ever be to the White House

Black Coach for DA BEARS
Being sort of....just a tad economically minded....I just had to bring up something that I read the other day....
"Dr. Madden determined that: the black coaches [over the last fifteen
years] averaged 1.1 more wins per season than the white coaches; the black
coaches led their teams to the playoffs 67% of the time verses 39% of the
time for white coaches....."
this info was actually put together by a labor economist (Janice Madden....not John)!
So....what's the story here? Is there any point to doing some kind of research like this? NFL teams would NEVER spend so much money on a head coach and make their all important decisions based on race...if you think about it...the african american coaches that have made these types of statistics viable are people like tony dungy and denny green....they came into programs that were waning....but still above the .500 mark....
the Bears this year? 7-9.....welcome LOVIE SMITH! You're coming into a sub .500 club....this will be the test for this ridculous statistic put out by none other than a Penn State economist....and if that statistic actually holds water....then so much the better!
GO BEARS!

the Bears this year? 7-9.....welcome LOVIE SMITH! You're coming into a sub .500 club....this will be the test for this ridculous statistic put out by none other than a Penn State economist....and if that statistic actually holds water....then so much the better!
GO BEARS!

CRUCIAL RESEARCH DONE BY BADGERS!
Thank you University of Wisconsin! Without your important research....we might not be able to 'cut the cheese' with a laser! It doesn't just come in squares anymore....your contributions to mankind know no bounds....however, we know that its only a matter of time before people start making erotic cheese pictures....we have to put a stop to this....FOR THE CHILDREN!

I Love Going to the Dentist
Sorry, I'm not one to spread random gossip (who am I kidding, of course I am!), but this story of someone I may or may not know was in the local paper, and I simply couldn't resist!
