Party game answer leads to murder rap - CNN.com

The party game asked people to name the stupidest thing they had ever done. Police say Jerry Rose answered, “Shot a guy in the head.”

Now he can change his answer to “Saying I shot a guy in the head while playing a drinking game.”

Stupidest thing I’ve ever done? Took a pill from Bigwig.

File this under “something else I came across while cleaning up my house yesterday”. I was going through some old school materials and…um…filing them away for future use…by the sanitation department…found some notes I’d written. The class was “Supply Chain Management”. It was the last class I needed to graduate after almost 32 months of school. Suffice it to say, I was pretty much over school by this point.

The class itself probably wasn’t so bad but I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. My last class period was two or three weeks away. I didn’t want to be in class and I was filled to the brim with as much learning and knowledge as I could hold. In order to while away the three-and-a-half hour class period, I turned to composing a series of haiku. I share them with you for your enjoyment.

My class is boring.
I think it will never end.
Please gouge out my eyes.
This class is so dull.
I am not learning anything,
so I write haiku.

We are discussing
Economic Order Quantity.
What the hell is that?

The girl behind me
is from another country.
She no speak good English.

So f^cking boring.
This class is causing me pain.
I need a stiff drink.

Drinking much coffee,
I become one with nature.
My molecules fly.

An hour we’ve spent,
talking about some bull-shit.
I have to go pee.

Too much caffeine.
My component molecules
start to separate.

One hour, fifteen minutes
until my misery ends.
I can hardly wait.

Only one hour left.
I don’t think I can make it.
The clock is crawling.

Time passes slowly.
I pray for the end to come.
I suffer greatly.

Forty minutes more.
I can not believe this shit.
Are you kidding me?

Someone smells badly,
like two skunks copulating.
I hope it’s not me.

My breath is not good.
Too long since I brushed my teeth.
I could use some gum.

I am so hungry
I could eat a bowl of snot.
Okay, maybe not.

Half an hour remains.
A watched pot never boils
yet I watch anyway.

Twenty more minutes
have gone never to return.
I live with regrets.

I wonder if you
are as amused as I am
by my stupid poems?

As you can see, I made it through, but I do recall that particular class being a bit torturous. I think the haiku helped. Maybe if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, you can compose haiku to help you through it.

I was cleaning my house yesterday in preparation for my big move to Atlanta and came across an old wallet in a box of stuff. In it I found an old fortune-cookie fortune that read “Old Friends Are Coming Back to You Soon”. The fortune is probably four years old but it certainly seems to be ringing true in the last few weeks. At least three Camp Don Lee friends that I haven’t heard from in many years have found their way to my email over the last two weeks.

The latest is from good friend Janet who sends a link pictures of her children. She has a new young one, Sophia. It’s been so long since we talked that she actually questioned whether I would remember her or not! Of course I remember you, Janet! I always will. I will always remember, for example, how you bit me on the nipple the very first day I knew you. I think I still have a mark.

I promised I would post here for those that have an interest Janet’s life. If anyone would like her email address, shoot me an email and I’ll send it to you. I’m sure she’d be happy to hear from all of you.

Can I get a little love for Wake Forest football? After beating 7 and 2 Boston College 21-14 on Saturday, Wake Forest is 8 and 1 for the first time since 1944 and are a legitimate threat to win the ACC Atlantic Division if not the ACC Championship. They still have a way to go, however. In order to win the division title, they’ll have to go at least 2 and 1 against surprising Maryland (7-2), struggling Florida State (5-4) and conference power Virginia Tech (7-2).

Can they do it? It’s a tough row to hoe. Maryland is hot and beat a good Clemson squad Saturday and FSU beat a Virginia team that had managed to put together a few wins against woeful UNC and NCSU. Virginia Tech’s only losses have come against likely Coastal Division champ Georgia Tech and Boston College. Going 3 and 0 against the remaining regular season competition seems like a stretch but Wake has proved themselves up to the task. Their only loss was to Clemson and they had that game in the bag going into the fourth quarter.

I for one will be pulling for them. I’m a UNC guy normally but we officially suck this year and I have to live vicariously through Wake. Frequent commenter, buddy and Wake alum Farkin’ Icehole probably appreciates it too.

Now that I’ve thrown my support behind Wake, they probably won’t win another game this season. That is also a distinct possibility but, even if they don’t, they’ve had a great season and should get to a pretty decent bowl in the offseason. Then they just have to hope they can keep Jim Grobe around. He’ll certainly get some offers from bigger schools based on his success at Wake.

Maybe we can get him at UNC.
