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. :)

We all know one of my favorites words is yeaya. I offer a contest. To the person who can find the first time I said yeaya on this blog, I will give you a prize from the bigmerl.com prize vaults. You will probably have to come pick it up, and it will most likely be lame, but at least you could say "A WINNER IS ME!"

A winner is me!

In the span of two minutes I won the UK lottery, had a dead long lost relative leave me millions of dollars and got an offer to help the Nigerian Foreign Ministry! All from the same email address!

Well, she is fixed *shrug*

My computer is fixed, kinda. Turns out that it wasn't the fan I thought it was. Turns out it was the video card fan. Solution? Restore the factory 32mb video card. So yea... Now I have this powerful beast of a machine that can't play games... ATI tech support is the next stop as I get the fan repaired. Unless... maybe I should buy some compressed air and attempt to fix it myself...

The state of Texas has sold their soul. I'm sorry, but you don't have games like "The CarMax North Texas game" and the "Capital Metro Baylor Game" as part of your regular schedule. Every single one of their home games has a sponsor. In a state where football is religion, that should be unacceptable to fans.

My beloved cell phone is being sent to Motorolla for some repairs. The software is completely fried, so I have a loaner. On a related note, I did not get a chance to download my address book, so if I don't call its because I don't have your number and you should email it to me.

Oh, I messed up my template on FrontPage, this is a good oppurtunity to wipe my server clean for the first time in months and do a clean publish. So expect ugliness for a few hours while I go out and celebrate the Husker loss the only way I know how: Protesting in front of Joe Daileys apartment.

bigmerl.com

I'll have a full breakdown of this breakdown later. The final was 21-17 Southern Miss. I'll give you one single reason for this loss, and that is the man in number 12. How do you throw that many interceptions, then give stupid fumbles, then not know where the line of scrimmage is, THEN COST US THE GAME? Go back to New Jersey you no talent hack, your services are no longer required by this Husker fan. You did us as much good as Mr. Lord did. I know Nebraska football, and you sir are not Nebraska football.

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 :)

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...
