Grow a pair, Holbrook

I’m disappointed that former OSU president Holbrook apologized and took back her comments about OSU. I guess it was a trite thing to say at a job interview unless she was trying to show that she can handle hooligans on campus.

I don’t think a big deal should be made out of her comments, though, because most of the behavior she talked about happens. Maybe she exaggerated a little bit on the whole “culture of rioting” thing, but riots do happen at OSU and I think that’s unacceptable.

Sure, it was funny the first time it happened after I moved here, but sometimes I’m a little ashamed to admit I live in Columbus because Buckeye fans here are obnoxious, violent and annoying and people know it.

I understand cheering for/supporting a team, but the fans around Columbus take it over the edge. I mean come on people, it’s only football. And to be frank it's getting a little annoying.

Kudos

Thanks go out to all those who joined in the shenanigans last night at Patrick Jay's. I'm so proud of those who decided to try something new. Way to go, champs! Thanks also go out to the Simpson's quote machine. I now have a whole new appreciation for Johnny DeLoretto.

Surprisingly, waking up this morning wasn't as bad as I expected. I hope the morning didn't treat anyone else too bad either. If it did, walk it off.

Paris Hilton says Nicole Richie will be a great mom.

What a relief. I was worried.

No Riot

My predictions of fire and mayhem in Columbus this weekend were wrong. Apparently hockey fans, the gays and hippies do get along. Who knew?

My time at ComFest was eventful to say the least. When I arrived at 5 or so, it seemed like everyone had been drinking since 6 a.m. (including the cabbie who drove us there). We ran into "Ash" who kept dancing on his cooler, a couple former co-workers and a treasurer.

I've had to play Designated Driver on several occasions, but at ComFest everyone was drunker and higher on a totally different level-- Ash peed in his cooler in the middle of the crowd and a former co-worker was sporting a lovely red Gatorade goatee.

All in all, I'll give ComFest two more thumbs than last year. Fine family fun considering all the topless women.
