A Husker Rant

I have a rant saved up here on a couple different items that Husker Nation is dealing with right now. This will be full of sports related content, so non sports people may want to just go ahead and scroll down. For those who are sports fans, feel free to add a comment or two.

1. To all the new Ohio fans that feel the need to change their avatars and taglines on Husker message boards to Bobcats and want a green out at Memorial Stadium: Get the green out! We don't need nor want "fans" like you. Boohoo, cry me a river, Frank Solich got fired. Guess what, it's over, get over it. 2002 called, its for you. If you want to cheer for Ohio, fine, that's cool. But if you are a true Husker fan, nothing comes before the Big Red Machine, and don't forget that.
2. To the AD at Houston: grow up. You are playing with the big boys, act like it. See, there are these things called contracts, learn to get them signed BEFORE promoting a game. Also, please check your history. Your school has backed out of SIGNED deals with Nebraska before. Cal would like to thank you for that, since they got a nice pay check out of it.
3. To the quitting players saying it is too much like the NFL now: Don't let the door hit you on the way out. You are upset because they brought in a pro offense and are running shop like the NFL? Are you saying you are content with college and never want to think NFL? Are you so against it that you wouldn't want to give your teamates the experience needed to go pro even if you don't? Grow up, your a man now. Act like it. If you are leaving, leave with dignity like a man. Nobody will be upset if you just say "the program wasn't a good match for me."
4. To Coach Callahan: GO BIG RED! Thank you for all your hard work on the recruiting trail. I can taste that next Sears Trophy. You da man!
5. To Dr. Tom: shut up. You may have been a legend on the field, but are you on the field now? No, no you aren't. Stick to the important issues, like being a congressman. You have no say on the program you abandoned.

"You must remember this, a kiss is still a

classic story of love in trying times, chock
full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously
believe in true love, but you're also
constantly aware of practicality and societal
expectations. That's not always fun, but at
least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis
get you down too much.

bigmerl.com official election primer

Tuesday, November 2, 2004. This will be a big election folks. The USA Presidential title is on the line, thats the biggest belt in the leauge! Also Nebraska votes on legalizing gambling. If this passes, expect bigmerl.com to become bigmerl.com casino and resort. Don't forget to vote

Tuesday is Election Day. Here are some pointers to keep in mind when heading to the polls:

• If at all possible, vote before work. That way, you can make smug comments to non-voters all day long.
• The new electronic voting machines are complicated. But don't worry: Octogenarians will be on hand to troubleshoot any technological problems that might arise.
• If your election official hooks you up to a machine via a needle in your arm, you are actually donating blood.
• Tip for those on the go: Voting a straight ticket can save you up to 15 seconds.
• Remember that, as a member of a participatory democracy, you have a duty to make your voice heard on Election Day. If you find that idea hard to grasp, think of it like the lotto: You can't win if you don't play.
• Don't wear dress shoes. They leave black scuff marks on gymnasium floors.
• Voting is no longer considered uncool. Note that it is not cool, either.
• Many newspapers offer sample ballots. Buy 10 copies and practice, practice, practice.
• Remember to vote, or P. Diddy will kill you.
• This is one of the most important elections in recent times, so it's best if you just leave it up to the pros.
• When voting, you don't need to dress up in a scary costume or hand out candy. That happens two days earlier.
• You might think it's funny, but it's disrespectful to submit write-in candidates like "Don Knotts," "Mickey Mouse," or "Michael Badnarik."
• Remember to take the day off to vote. And the day before, to psyche up. And the morning after, to dry out.
• If you are black and a resident of Florida, work out two or three alternate routes to your polling place to avoid police checkpoints.
• The most important thing is to vote your conscience.
• Okay, this is your conscience speaking: "Vote Nader. Vo-o-o-o-ote Nader."
• If you are a Flintstone, make sure to put the granite slab arrows-first into the dinosaur's mouth.
• If you live in Florida, for Christ's sake, look at the ballot very, very carefully this time.
• Education is the issue Americans say is most important. Find someone with one of those to read the ballot to you.
• Keep in mind that the name of every person who votes against George Bush is going to be read aloud on television the next time we're attacked by terrorists.
• If you don't know where the polling place is in your district, just try to remember the ugliest, dingiest, most depressing building in a three-mile radius. That's probably it.
  

What To BringRemember to bring proper identification to the polls.This can be:

• Driver's license or your chauffeur
• Passport and photos of your boyfriend in Paris
• SuperVoter discount card
• Note from president
• Proof that your grandfather voted
• Retinal scan or your alderman's retinas
• Two Iraqi scalps
• Receipt for your shoes
• Videotape of your first steps
• Halliburton employee ID
• Birthday card from grandmother
• Pint of sperm for DNA-identification purposes
• Casserole dish to pass
• A good friend who can totally vouch for you
• Signed $20 bill
• Autographed celebrity photo inscribed with your name

Update on Michael Tata situation

Well, since it seems to be that I have become a news source on the death of Michael Tata, I should offer some updates. American Casino started their second season last Friday. Michael Tata was on in full force, as he was moving out of the office he shared with Ninya. Hijinks ensued. This Friday is a double header. The second episode is the week of his death. I'm almost wondering if I should watch, this could be a painful episode. I didn't even know the guy, but he seemed like such a nice guy, someone that I would probably have hung out with if I knew him. Yea, he was tough on the crew at work, but he also seemed to know how to have fun. *shrugs* The world will never know. It could have been Michael Tata on bigmerl.com bringing you the Vegas ramble. :)
Maybe I can get that JC1k guy to do it instead. Then everytime he posts I could bag on him. :)

Nebraska 56 Western Illinois 17 (Final)

Positives:

• Western Illinois held to negative four yards rushing
• Offense firing on all cylinders, 218 in the air and 363 yards on the ground

Concerns:

• Turnovers, Nebraska gave the ball away five times
• Youth. Several mistakes made, the players need to grow up faster.

Now I want to talk special teams...

• Kickoff coverage: please kick the ball better then everyone stay in your lanes
• Kickoff returns: on pooch kicks, please call fair catch
• Punt coverage: please tackle somebody
• Punt returns: HOLD ON TO THE DAMN BALL

Overall, a fairly impressive outing for the first time under a new regime. This should be a fun team to watch as they grow and improve. Can't wait for some TV coverage.

Nebraska 42 Western Illinois 3

[IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO LEECHING] It is now halftime at the Nebraska game. Nebraska has unloaded for 392 yards in the first half. 392 YARDS! That is a statement. Six years of frustration are showing, the team is hungry and Callahan has them wanting more.
As a Husker fan I am excited for this season. I know we can't win them all, but a man can dream about a championship in a few seasons. The Huskers are my love and my religion and I am so stoked for the season. GO BIG RED!
Positives:

• Corey Ross with 10 rushes for 85 yards
• Dailey 232 yards 4 touchdown passes, 6 yards rushing 1 td
• The blackshirts allow only 133 yards and have 4 take aways
• Amos 2 TDs and 25 yards per reception on his first time on O

Concerns:

• Special Teams are horrible. This is going to need some work.
• Dailey 2 INTs, his youth is showing
• Suspensions, players need to get their act together (I'm looking at you Richie)
• Penalties, one TD recalled due to a TD

SMILEYS AND EMOTICONS FOR EMAIL AND IM

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this site. One one hand, I support their smiley agenda, on the other hand, the site is a little scary.

bigmerl.com

The main page of this site has been updated, I am quite proud of it, even if it is just a generic FrontPage template. I think it is the most user friendly index file I ever placed on this page too. The 401 and 404 errors now auto load that page too, so that should make life more interesting for my access logs. You'll note there is a second blog linked to this server, it is a journal style blog, where you can catch my latest ramble.

TNA Wrestling

So while I was home nursing my teeth, I was flipping through and came across Fox Sports showing wrestling, wrestling that wasn't that dreaded horrible HHH federation: WWE. It turns out it was TNA wrestling. I stopped and watched a bit and had to say it was good to watch some wrestling that wasn't total crap and based around Triple H. It seemed very WCW to me, like one of their old weekend shows, which wasn't all bad. All I have to ask is this though, WHAT IS WITH A HEXAGONAL RING??? I mean the idea seems kinda cool but the ring is the overall size of a playpen. Plus they hyped the next PPV like there is no tomorrow in which they made a big deal about Dusty Rhodes wrestling... um... yea...

So overall, I give it a 6.5 out of 10.

Somebody really should stop me from posting this garbage :)

QT's Diary

Apparently Quentin Tarantino has a blog, and it is a free blogspot account. I say if it really is him, more power to him. If it isn't, then they are doing a good job impersinating him. Language is a little offensive (don't click it mom!) but it is a good read.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

In less just 22 hours my beloved Huskers kick off their 2004 campaign with their first game under Coach Callahan. The road to redemption starts in Lincoln and will end in the Orange Bowl! Ok, maybe not the Orange Bowl, but they should have a good team. Especially since ESPN.com said they were overrated, and they can't get anything right lately. GO BIG RED!

A LCX Update

A pointless posting about me getting my wisdom teeth removed.

The Good: Four teeth that will cause nothing but problems, plus one unreparable tooth, are gone from my mouth forever.

The Bad: The unfortunate bleeding that occurs from getting them pulled as well as my cheeks puffing up like I'm hoarding walnuts in my cheeks.

The Ugly: There aint jack on TV during the day. Nuff said.

The Other: Just a little tidbit about me, the stitches they put in my mouth are the first stitches I've ever gotten.

Dead bodies reek

So for those thinking there is never enough original content... here goes some.

For those of you a little squeemish, don't read.

They found a corpse today on second floor. It had been there for a good two weeks. I kinda knew the guy too, he worked across the street and was a pretty nice guy. Anyways, I come in and the neighbor is telling me all about it, and I go to help him out in his apartment (directly below said former residents) and his apartment reeks something nasty. The phrase "what died in here" takes on a whole new meaning now. So his apartment is completely sealed off to air vents now and he has covered most his electrical, now it smells like lysole. Crazy crazy crazy.

I'm now making my place spotless so that if we get a bug infestation because of this that I'm not infected. May you live in interesting times...

I sometimes wonder if I don't put enough original content into bigmerl.com then I start to have a crisis. It's like, what is this blog if it doesn't really say anything and is 80% links to other places. Then I remember that I don't really care, its just a site. It's a hobby. The moment I start putting serious work into it then it stops being a hobby then umm... I'm gonna go back to Farking.

From: "345565346 maria abacha" Add to Address Book
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 01:02:07 +0000
Subject: URGENT REQUEST


Hello,
I am delighted to write this letter to you hoping that
you will understand my predicaments and answer back
without hesitation. I am Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha the
wife of the late Nigerian Head of State, General Sani
Abacha.
I got your contact through a reliable source, as I was
making contact for a honest foreigner who will help
save my life and my children, hence our country has
been frustrating us since the death of my husband. I
am in possession of ten million
U.S.Dollars), which I want to invest in your country.
For your clarification and understanding, this money
enclosed in a box, which I deposited with the security
company, disguised as a family effect.
It is not an ill-gotten wealth; rather, it was
generated from my organization Family Support
Program (F.S.P).I will enlighten you more on this
organization if you indicate a helping interest to
secure this money on my behalf. On your acceptance to
render this assistance to me, I will instruct the
security company to effect a change of ownership of
the funds concealed in the box to your name as the
bonafide owner to enable you retrieve the funds. Also
I will disclose to you the procedures for this
transaction.
What I demand from you is either to make arrangements
on how to come to Nigeria immediately
(your security will be guaranteed) so as to claim the
ownership of this consignment for me, and also I have
a bank chairman that will assist you open a transit
account here where the money will be deposited and
transferred to any account of your choice or if it not
suitable for you to be in Nigeria soon, I can with my attoney
connection send out the consignment as a diplomatic
consignment on your name to one of the agents of the
security company in united state.
I will then fax to you the claiming documents, which
you will use to claim the
consignment. It is 100% risk free as long as my attoney and I are
involved. It is very ideal therefore, that you contact
me through my attoney providing him
also with your private telephone and fax numbers to
enable him open up a good relationship pertaining to
this transaction.
Bear in mind that this transaction demands absolute
confidentiality because property, assets and bank
accounts both local and international bearing the
ABACHA'S family name, are being ordered to be
confiscated by the newly elected civilian President of
Nigeria (President Olusegun Obasanjo) hence I will not
want to be exposed.
For your knowledge, 15% of this fund (Ten million US Dollars) will be
given to you
if you assist me to secure this funds.

When you must have taken the agreed percentage, you
will use part of the balance to buy a living house for
my family there in your country, where we shall live
in future and the remaining part will be kept for
investment package also in united state, which will
be under your supervision.
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.


Yours sincerely,
DR. (MRS) MARIAM ABACHA

DiscoMonkey ::: It's All About The Banana!

I figured, new template + newly working blogthis (THANK YOU GOOGLE!) meant it was time to link to a fellow blogger.

Upgrade anyone?

Today is a big day for bigmerl.com. I just upgraded packages with the host, switching from a Geocities to a Yahoo Small Business account. Fear me now! So as a result, there is a LOT more disk space, which means maybe the novel reviews can come back? I'll look into it.
In other news, Google, bless their souls, fixed Blog This! I can blog again! Expect cool stuff to happen.
Also, if anyone wants a @bigmerl.com email addy, I can dole those out now, I have plenty to give, and they are nice (imagine if you will 2gb of disk storage on a free email addy).

As always, if anyone wants blogger access to the site (means you can post stories not just comments) just let me know and I will hook you up. We going big time!

Boredom strikes

Beware, this post will actually have me typing stuff!
First off, in light of MAT transit and their continually failed attempts to improve the service, I figured I would rate the various pieces of their fleet as a rider, from worst to best.

5) Those new shuttles. Those things are awful. The ride feels like there is no suspension whatever, there aren't enough seats, there isn't much legroom. These are the worst thing ever.

4) The retro busses. Now these things suffer the same suspension problem the shuttles do, as well as having exposed bolts and stuff that can tear your clothing, however they have one perk over the shuttles. They are cool looking.

3) The newer coaches. Now don't get me wrong, they are nice, and they are the highest up with huge windows so you get a nice view. They also have the pull cords which I prefer. However, where is the seat padding? If I ride one of these from the transit center home it is horrible.

2) The old busses. These things are comfy. The seats are heavily padded and there are tons of sideways facing seats. I prefer to sit sideways because you get more light to read. The only downside is some lack working A/C, others have nasty smells.

1) The low floor busses. Comfy seats and you don't have to walk up steps into them? BONUS!

Now that Rose is done laughing at me and posting comments about this, I will remind her that at least I don't drive a KIA!

I have a new favorite drink. Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Like Livewire, Mountain Dew has gone fruity. This time its grape! Yum!

I haven't been sleeping well the last few nights. I'm not sure why. I brought my temperature down about 5 degrees about 6:00 this morning and got some good napping in, so maybe that will fix it? Otherwise I'll try something drastic, like moving my bed or something.

Anyone have a spare Motorola charger lying around? Mine seems to be on the fritz and I can't find one in the stores to replace it.

I'm tired of typing, I'm gonna go back to watching TV and IMing.

Eat Meat And Die

Disclaimer: The following is in no way associated with or endorsed by Big Merl and affliates.

Let me tell you about my day. I was heading out to Shopko today with the wife and we drive by this sign by Peta, yea, those tree huggin' animal lovers. It says, and get this, Eat Meat And Die. Wha...? Huh? Are you serious? If I eat meat I'll die? Now, I don't have a problem with anyone out there that is a vegitarian or a vegan (as long as they don't try to shove their way down my throat) but I mean come on, duh. If I eat plants, I'll die. If I drink alcohol, I'll die. If I smoke, I'll die. If I be a good little boy, I'll die. Okay, for those of you that are lost by now, YOU DO ANYTHING AND YOUR GONNA DIE!!! Well, unless your immortal. By the way, if your immoral, guess what? Yea, your right, your still gonna die.

Oh, and for anyone out there that has a problem with what I said, I don't want to hear it, and guess what, your still gonna die!

Heh

So it's Saturday and I'm bumming on the web, still not feeling like dealing with everyone. I have now not answered over 50 calls according to my cell phone, so its all good.

jibjab is a very popular search right now, probably because I linked to them once. Also, Michael Tata is a popular search.

I want to send a message to people searching for that. I share your pain. The man was struck down in his prime, when he should have had the world he died alone in his sleep. It is truly a trajedy. :(

All 90 photos I took, I apologize for the blurry, I didn't quite set the kind of settings I needed for night shooting of a bright object.

This is an interesting, if not scary read.

Wasting time as on Big Merl can!

I visited some old friends today, and now I want to celebrate. What would everyone think of a little outing to say the Old Market some night? Or maybe putting together a group for the comedy club?

I am on a quest to photograph downtown Omaha as I see it. I will be linking albums every now and then to my ofoto account. This first batch is the corner of 25th and Dodge street. The day of the shoot they had just started tearing down the old mortuary on the SouthWest corner. It had most recently served as a day care. To give you your bearings, on the NorthWest corner (across Dodge) is Physicians Mutual. On the SouthEast corner is 2223 Dodge Street, an old Northern Natural Gas building that was most recently the First National Service Center. On the NorhthEast corner is Joslyn Art Museum, home of the Jazz on the Green series.
