I Love.... Thanksgiving

Brick Tamland here. Thanksgiving is something I love. I spend it with the Channel 4 News Team. They eat turkey while I go around chewing on the carpet and painting my fingernails. While they watch something called "football" on tv, I happen to be sleeping on the roof in a Frankenstein costume. It is one of my favorite holidays. Also, I love lamp.

Oh and it just happens that I am not Brick Tamland. My real name is Ethan Reynolds. =)

Thanksgiving

Yay, let us all go celebrate how the Native Americans helped save our lives and then we took their land from them. That is payment for you right there. What is there to be thankful for? Oh, we are alive and have substantial lives. Let me tell you - you don't. Who are we thanking? God! Haha... idiots.

This is Zack Burnham and I am Dr. House. House really doesn't like Thanksgiving because he is alone and has no one to spend it with. He is a lame (though really cool), liberal atheist who cares about nothing and no one - opposite of me, that is why I chose him.

Dating

Dating is for those who have time and patience. Really, what is the point? To listen to some menstruating female ask you to buy her tampons and then come home to listen to the nagging. And don't get me started with break-ups! It just isn't worth it. Besides, we all die alone anyway, so who cares.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving dinner is great in prison. Actually it's the same. Nothing different. The same crappy food that we eat every other day in this dump. The escape plan is actually underway. If my brother comes through for us then we will be out of here by Christmas. I can't give any details because I don't know who will be reading this. A lot of people have risked their lives trying to help me break out of prison. Hopefully, all goes well. This will be my last message before the breakout.

Thanksgiving

Oh boy do I love Thanksgiving! Me and all the guys get together and eat a tofu turkey. We have to watch our weight if we want to stay really really ridiculously good looking. I used to eat Thanksgiving with the guys, but then that innocent gasoline fight took their lives. Now I have a wife and kid, so I celebrate with them. I love to get dressed up for the holidays. I've always been in all the winter catalogs. I am the best you know. I own the most male model of the year awards than any other male model of the year! So yeah, I love Thanksgiving. -Derek Zoolander/Tony Dalton

Revealed

To tell you the truth (which you Americans rarely do), England doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, as Sir Churchill informed you. I find it humorous that you people believe that Thanksgiving should be celebrated everywhere. Well, as a citizen from England, I do not celebrate Thanksgiving -- thank you! In fact, I still think that America belongs to us. You only won that small "Revolutionary" war because of sheer, dumb luck! But beware ye, we'll strike back when you least expect it!

Thanksgiving Farewells

Although it is quite untraditional to celebrate the holidays of the New World at Hogwarts, the prefects agreed at our last meeting that it would be an adventure to host a feast comparable to that which you refer to as Thanksgiving. It was magnificent! Just picture it...autumn leaves of the most brilliant colors magically swirling in the Great Hall...sheaves of cornstalks, sporting jewel-like red, purple, lavender and gold ears of corn, ranged in front of the faculty table...spacious tepees sumptuously outfitted with furs and decorated with shells and feathers --in place of Hagrid's giant jack-o-lanterns...log fires emiting the faintest scent of woodsmoke...the tables laden, of course, with American colonial-era food: wild turkies, venison and rabbit stews, meat pies, apple pies, pumpkin pies, cornbread, cranberries...what a sight to behold! I do hope you all enjoyed your own festivities and a Happy Christmas to you all! Until we meet again...

Yours truly,
Hermione Granger

Actually...it's Chelsey, although I think a good majority had this figured out ages ago. Anyway, it's been great fun. The blogs were actually quite entertaining at times...I laughed a lot = ) Have a great day and I will see you all next week!

Well my chaps, you pose the question of how my thanksgiving was. I answer to you that it was bloody awful!!! First, because no one celebrates thanksgiving here in England. Second, because I tried to do all the eating that you Yanks do on thanksgiving. I have eaten my words before and it has never given me indigestion but eating your thanksgiving dinner sure did!!! Blegh!!!

Comments:
Dang you Troy for tricking me!!! (you know what I mean)
Chris you are one of the last people I thought Ralph would be!
That is all....Goodbye.....

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a great holiday where all of the Schrutes can get together and feed to eachother what they have killed. My cousin Mose came in with a dead octupus. He said that he had found it in a tree and he used his crossbow to kill it....I raised a deer myself and slaughtered it at the dinner table. It was much better to have fresh meat than to have that packaged stuff.

Welp, I guess I have to tell everyone who I am now...This is Cody.

Aye

I quite enjoyed my Thanksgiving. I had mounds of Indian food! You know, I really think everyone would enjoy Thanksgiving more if they stopped eating turkey, that junk bird. Curry with some crazy spices in it does the heart much better than turkey. Anyway, I enjoyed seeing my brother, sister, and parents. My sister scares me sometimes though. She inspires fear in the hearts of the children of men. She pulled my head off on purpose. My brother had to take me to the ER to get all fixed up. That was my Thanksgiving! Have a wonderful day (and keep your head on preferably!)

-------Kali the one-eared bunny-------



Aye this was fun. Kali is my best friend's sister's one-eared stuffed bunny. Arun (my best friend) is Indian, thus the theme of Indian food for Thanksgiving. Arun and I loved 'torturing' this bunny in our spare time. More than once Kali ended up without a head..... :D. All in good fun!
{Troy}
ps: I really do think turkey is junk. Indian food is much better.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a very special day. First off I don't have to go to school where Ms. Hover just tells me to go to sleep. Yay sleep, that's where I'm a viking! Also my mommie makes a nice turkey and my daddie is at the table opening walnuts with his gun. He's a policeman. I like glue. And then we all gather together to eat. Me, mommie, daddie and the leprechan who tells me to burn things. And then I go skipping through the park. I can do somersaults. And I play on the swings and go play with my cat. My cat's breath smells like cat food.

This is Chris. So I picked Ralph because he is the best from Simpsons. His one liners are not easily forgetable. Unfortunately, I think I failed at being Ralph and I mocked his image. But yeah, cool stuff.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, is a national holiday, originating a long, long time ago, probably around the 18th century or something. Anyway one day a bunch of cowboys and indians said "hey man, let's stop the shootin and sit down at a nice meal" and so they did, and now, we celebrate thanksgiving, but we aren't cowboys and indians anymore. Maybe, we should you know role play.. to add to the holiday spirit a little bit. Because not celebrating would be so.. hard. (That's what she said)


Hey guys this is Lauren, I chose Michael Scott from the office because Steve Carell is one of the funniest actors alive, but bringing out Michael Scott's character was a little more tough than I expected in some blogs. Like this one, for example. Anyway it's been real, thanks all

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is such a great season. People are filled with thanks and selflessness. I enjoy spending time with loved ones. Family and friends sitting around a table enjoying a good home cooked meal. It reminds me of my life growing up. Now days, everything is so fast paced and quick, you can't just sit down to dinner anymore. It is amazing how life changes, but Thanksgiving brings everyone back for a day for some quality bonding time with others. My holiday was just splendid. I got to see my children and my grandchildren and we were able to catch up and enjoy each other's company. We had some delicious turkey, and stuffing and yams, and potatoes and cranberries. And of course, pumpkin pie! But it was some of the most delicious food. And now, as the Christmas season is upon us, I am looking forward to singing Christmas carols and dancing and enjoying the festivities of the Christmas spirit. And as this chat comes to an end, I hope I was able to shed some of my 75 years of knowledge on you.

This is Jacey, I chose to be Shirley Temple because I wanted to be someone from the past and someone who had a different lifestyle, hope you enjoyed it!!

Totally saving Turkeys!

We need to like save the Turkeys!! So I like totally am for saving turkeys!! I visited this turkey farm once for a school project, and it like totally changed my life. You would not believe the horrible things turkeys go through every day! So pretty much I did not eat turkey on Thanksgiving. But it was still like totally cool to see my fam and friends gather around and become like so thankful for eachother! And I did eat some things...just not the stuffing, rolls, pie and stuff like that cus I am totally trying to watch my carb intake. I mean, HELLO! Christmas formals are just around the corner!!! But yeah, I had cranberry sauce and it was totally satisfying! Oh! And my favorite part of the break was, DUH, the day after Thanksgiving! I love shopping and especially shopping when people are all over the place going crazy trying to get all their stuff for Christmas presents!!! i mean, it so totally sums up what the holidays are all about-- people coming together, even if it does mean that they are trying to claw their way through the store and shouting threatening remarks to those who get their item! ah...I love it! So yeah! I hope your Thanksgiving was as spectacular as mine! Kisses!

Idiot Pimpernel,

You sir, are a fool!!! The topic of discussion that you present is ludicrous!!! How dare you suggest that we discuss such an awful, immoral, and downright disgusting thing. You are a pervert! You say you present what you have said as entertainment?!!! The upstanding people of this blog should not have to be exposed to your slander. I just want you to realize that there will be consequences for the atrocity that you have committed! I once said the empires of the future are the empires of the mind. Hopefully you are dead before the future empires come about because if you aren't mankind is doomed to a fate worse than death...the fate of having you telling your horrid ideas!

With true sincerity,

Dating

Sorry I haven't posted guys. I've been busy modeling in Milan and working on my new look called Magnum. If you don't know me then you must be crazy, because I'm the best male model in the industry. I don't know much about politics. I do know that Mugatu tried to brainwash me into killing the Prime Minister of Malaysia once. I think it had something to do with child labor laws. I don't care much just as long as they don't outlaw modeling. About dating, I think it's pretty easy as long as you are really, really ridiculously good looking like me. I know that all the ladies want me. I date the ladies right and left. It kinda comes with the male modeling business.

fishing for your lady fish

Dating, what can I say the dating world can be so...hard. (THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.) There is this, pool, of dateable "fish" in the fish pool of dating that need to be fished, and we, gentleman, are the fisherman. You see a nice shiny fish lady bait and you string her up on your fishing pole. And that... is how it is done.

girls are gay

girls are gay. Why would you want to go on a date? i mean, all you're doing is wasting a saturday night and losing money on some chick you don't even care about. who cares about goin on dates, girls are weirdos. they wear tons of make up and are fake and just want people to like them for their face. I'd rather not put the time and effort into it and just chill at home with warcraft and my buddy dillan. It's a much better time than having to wonder how to act and all that stuff.

What totally not to do on a date!!!

So I have like totally a lot of experience when it comes to dating, and let me tell you that I have definately learned what not to do. Like on this one date, I was with this totally hot guy at a restaraunt and I ordered spaghetti. Let me just tell you that no one looks good trying to slurp up noodles, so do not order spaghetti unless he's attracted to people who make funny noises while noodles go wiggly everywhere! It was so totally a disaster! And then there was this one time where I went on a date with a guy and called him the wrong name the whole night! He just looked like soo much like his brother, and I got them confused! It's an innocent mistake, but I guess for next time I will totally bring a post-it note with his name on it and have it in my purse just in case. So totally try and remember the person's name, cus he has like never called me back! Oh! And there was this other time where I agreed to go on a date to a rodeo. I so totally thought that he was talking about Rodeo-Drive! Boy was I disappointed when instead of shopping, he took me to this smelly arena where we watched cows run and people fall of horses! I was so totally not prepared for that! So find out for sure where you are going for this date, cus then you can actually have the opportunity to say no! I think I still have the smell of cow manure in my Abercrombie skirt. It's like soo disgusting! So I hope these tips help you on your dates! I know I will never make those mistakes again! Toodles!

Dating

Dating has got to be the easiest thing in the world. Girls want a guy who can go fast all them time, lucky for me I've got that down to a T. When I'm out there on the track I only care about how fast I'm going and how bad I'm beating the competition. But as soon as I step off that track the mac daddy ricky bobby comes alive. It's almost like I don't even have to try, girls come to me. Its that simple.

politics

Theres nothing that bugs me more than dang politicians running there mouths over topics I couldn't care less about. I wanna hear 'em discussing topics that I care about. Don't ask me for latest update in that political world cause I wont have nothing to say about it. The only politics I care about is the commisioner of NASCAR and what he is making me and team do these days.

Relationships

Okay I guess I'll take a break from promoting Obama and offer my two cents on dating. My senior year I met a girl in my Civics class who I thought was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. In time, I worked up the courage to ask her to prom. By some miracle she said yes, and we had a great time, but I realized that even though she was beautiful, she wasn't my type. But during our date I had the chance to meet her best friend. Long story short, I am now dating and in love with her instead. I guess my advice would be to live your life and when something unexpected comes you just have to go with it. Oh, and never, ever date or marry someone with different political views form you. Besides James Carville, no one could ever make that work.

How to woo the ladies by Ralphie

Girls like presents. My special gifts are rollie pollies in the their desks after recess. Also, it is good to show off in front of girls. I like to do sumersualts. It always works for me. Actually...girls don't like me. They run away when I ask them out. Why do people run from me (peeing pants)? Oh, girls are too silly. I like boys now. But I love Lisa. She choo, choo, chooses me.

Dating

Dating is overrated. It does nothing but cause hurt. You may find that one you love, but sometimes that may lead to tragedy. I guess my advice for people would be to just try to avoid dating in general. I think people are too obsessed with things like this, but in reality there isn't much of a point to dating. While it's nice to have a girl you can talk to and share your problems with, usually its just too hard on people.

Don't date cheerleaders

Okay... I have had some experience in this topic so I think I know a thing or two. For the guys:
first, the dates don't have to be big or complicated... a simple picnic with grilled cheese sandwiches on the roof watching Dwight light off fireworks is perfect. Second, don't forget to pay for everything. And third, make sure you ask someone out that you actually want to go out with, forget about the other pretty girls out there. Never go out with a cheerleader, they always end up either screwing you over or being annoying to the point you dump them.

The Dating Game

There is no denying relationships are complicated, especially those that originate from a particularly close friendship. Oftentimes it is these situations that baffle the dating population. I suppose I am biased due to my own life experience, but perhaps that is the key to offering advice--actually living it. My first year at Hogwarts brought with it the beginning of a friendship strengthened my our troll encounter, casting spells--Wingardium Leviosa!--and of course the adventure with the Sorcerer's stone. I must admit that Ronald's prowess and ingenuity with the Wizard's chess was a pleasant surprise. There was many bouts of bickering of course, but I have come to realize that this is simply a way of expressing interest and initiating conversation. Sarcasm dominates modern society and is a key element in flirtatious behavior. While it certainly does win attention, it may also cause unnecessary complications in a relationship. There comes a certain point in time where you must be straightforward and just say what you mean and express how you feel. So much time is wasted when this step is avoided--trust me, I know. My relationships was 7 years in the making. Granted, being open and honest is a scary thought and a rather intimidating situation, but I promise it is absolutely worth the risk. Living in the unknown limbo phase is absolutely maddening. Being honest in a relationship allows you the opportunity to, if the feelings are mutual, progress and move forward or, if the feelings are not shared, move on and explore new options. Thus, honesty is the best policy. No one can read minds, and girls seem to avoid initiating any first step, so I suppose the responsibility falls to you boys. Are you up for the challenge?

Dating

Dating is one of the finer things in life; just be careful who you fall in love with. Don't be misleading about your feelings for others. I once broke the heart of a Eowyn, niece of King Theoden himself. I had to tell her the truth of my feelings, for I could not bear her pleading gaze any longer. My love for her was nothing but a shadow compared to my devotion to Arwen. In time, her winter melted into spring and she soon loved another.
Furthermore, if you love a woman, you must fight for her. Always do what is best for her, even if it is not what you want. There was a time when I had to leave my beloved Arwen. She belonged with her immortal people, but I so wanted her by my side. How fortunate that fate smiled kindly upon us, as we both survived the terrible war of the third age. Now, she rules by my side as my beautiful elven queen.

Dating

There isn't much hope for dating when you're in a prison in Panam with ruthless killers. I haven't been able to date much recently since I've been in jail and on the run. There is a girl that is on my mind. Her name is Sarah. She helped me escape the first prison. There is definitely an attraction between us. I'm not sure she trusts me and trust in key in a healthy relationship. I would do anything for her like I would for anyone that I care about. I would do anything to see her right now. That is why I have to break out. One day I will have a normal life when I can date.

Dating

I have noticed, that dating has changed very much from when I young. But I do have to say, date people you know. Do not rush into a relationship just because you may think that it is the correct thing to do at that time. I have much more experience than most of you, so let me know if you would like some personal assistance. For me, I got married when I was 17 to a man who I thought I loved. We were married for 4 years and then we got divorced. We had a child together, whom I love more than you can imagine. But, make sure that the decision is right. I did get remarried and have two more children who are also the jewels of my life. I had so much fun when I was an adolescent. Dating was the funnest part of growing up. Meeting new boys, and being treated so well. Make sure boys when you take a young lady out that you treat her right. And girls, you make sure that when a young man takes you out you are respectful and appreciative. I can't imagine it's easy getting the courage to ask a girl out. Well, I think that's enough from me for today and don't forget, before you make any big decision make sure that it is right. I found that out the second time, the hard way.
I am easily satisfied with the very best. Look where that got me....I know all 'bout the lasses. There is one thing I know the best is that you have to take the largest gambles of your life to get the best blimey reward you possibly can. Woman are no exception. You have to take your chances and put your feelings out there... I like to think of it this way;
Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger (or hurt pain and disappointment) by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

Gnitad!

Dating is fun, but only when you're friends with the person you're with. It's ridiculous to go on a date with someone you don't know and think is "hot". Quite frankly, I just like to be with groups of friends and not paired off with someone. That way you can talk to anyone and have fun! Also dates make it awkward when the boy or girl is some stalker that won't take hints. In a group setting, you can stay away from them without offending. So basically, you should be good friends before you go on a date.
Courting a young lady is something I find quite absurd. Since girls can rarely do more than gossip or talk about the blasted weather, I find myself quite content wrapped up in a book of poetry. I find that reading Emily Dickinson (an exception to girly behavior) is both edifying and a means to escape dreary courting.

Dating...

Dating...Dating leads to mating. Just the other day, my mule ox found a mate. My billygoat. Do I ask how this happened? No. I just look forward to all of the good milk and meat their spawn will produce. I once had a mate. She was wound up, small, and could be a model. Turns out she cares more for cats than men. Cats are worthless. They don't provide milk, work, or meat. Since then, I have realized that the only mate you need is that of the farm.

Giuliani?

To start off... is it me or does it smell like updog in here? ..whats up dog? ...nothing much whats up with you?
As for politics, it is about time to think about a new leader for this country. Possibly a man with some kind of leadership experience? Rudy Giuliani might be the man we need in the oval office for the next few years. Without a doubt, a fellow businessman would be a good fit for the job! His push to remove crime from the New York City while mayor could be a help in the next few years throughout the country. Well.. I don't know, but anybody besides my boss Michael Scott would be able to lead this country quite nicely I believe. Well I best return to work, I have to start selling some paper for a change.

Obama should not be president

I think that Hiro from Heroes should be president. He is the most qualified. He can travel back in time and talk to former presidents. He is a real hero. Either he should be, or me. I am a Schrute, and all Schrutes are capable of doing anything (other than warp time). In fact, the other day, I picked 86 beats in just under an hour. Record time. After that, I milked my dog and made beat shakes for my cousin.

Fact: Obama is underqualified. He has no experience. President Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica has run the Twelve Colonies for 2 terms. She should be the president.

I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.

I..... am not really sure why the whole political debate thing is going on here. I mean come on, we're all Americans, whoever gets put into presidency will end up being hated by one group of people or another anyway, so really...... it, does it really matter? As long as the girl doesn't get put in anyway. Come on right, we all know Hilary Clinton is so totally not... capable, of being president of the United States... well that's what I think anyway, I heard that on Wiki-pedia. And anyone can contribute to that so you know you're getting a good source of information. I guess. All the internet is really good for is forwarding hilarious e-mails. All technology wants to do, is murder you in a lake.

p.s. does anyone...... have the link, on that hilarious monkey e-mail? It's not in bad taste because it's nature. Anyway, I want to forward it like it's hot, forward it like it's hot.... so let me know.



disclaimer: I don't really want a nasty link to an e-mail so don't send me one. :)

Vote Obama Part 2

Well there's a million things I could say about "politics," and Kali and I kind of already had a political debate, and I think it was established that I'm a pretty darn liberal guy. So I guess I'll just talk about why I support Barrack Obama and not Hillary Clinton. To be quite honest, Hillary just scares me. She comes across as another power hungry politician who is out for her own self gain, and not what's best for this country. One reason I say this is because like almost all politicians these days, she'll say whatever she needs to say to get elected, and no one knows what she actually stands for. The best example of this I can think of is her view of the Iraq war. When it started, and for some reason the majority of the country thought going in there was a good idea, she gave Bush her full support. But now that most everyone has woken up, she promises to bring our troops home if elected. Obama also promises this, but he was against invading Iraq from the start. This either means that Hillary was voting the popular vote, or Barrack was much smarter, and could predict the outcome of this mess much better than she could. Either way, he will make a much better president.

i'm rhen, politics are crap

dude, it's about time this freakin blog thing started to work. My name is rhen and i'm bald. I'm the biggest sophomore in our high school, next to the polys, over 6 feet and about 250 lbs. I play football and think the vikings are where it's at. I love playing the wii and i could take any of you on in any game. Nike's awesome. Oh, and about politics. Politics are never fair, it's just not worth the time. It's just like our crap football coach last year: kids who had parents with money got the most playing time. All i care about is that some moron doesn't lead our country like our coach last year and our principal this year, who ruined any chance for our team to have a decent field to play on this year. Give me someone who doesn't make an idiot of himself where i can still play football and the wii and i'm good.

Another World

As Muggles remain--for the most part--oblivious to the wizarding world (a situation considered eminently preferable to the alternative by wizards), I feel I can best contribute to this discussion by educating you as to the function of our own government. I suppose our Minister of Magic is comparable to your President. It is an elected role whose success relies greatly upon public opinion. Many criticized the former Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, in a manner similar to that which many of you used to describe your own President Bush. Needless to say his resignation and the tragic death of Rufus Scrimgeour have led to the highly regarded and capable Kingsley Shacklebolt. Hopefully your nation can achieve this same success in the upcoming election. Our governing body, the Ministry of Magic, upholds secrecy and order in wizarding Britain, and it maintains a large number of departments, offices and so forth, much like the American bureaucracy. The Wizengamot, in its function as the wizarding court, reminds me of your Judicial branch of government as well. Needless to say our worlds have significant similarities and ties to one another. Perhaps we are mistaken with our Statute of Secrecy. The Muggle and Wizarding worlds have definite potential to successfully cooperate with one another. Once I have undergone thorough research on the subject I shall have more to contribute.

Politics makes me want to go to the bathroom.

My mommie told me that Clinton has the eyes of the devil and that she eats bunnies. Lisa told me that the most suitable canidate for this the current state of our government is Barack Obama. I really don't care who wins. I just want to go burn things and eat these wild berries. Owwww, they taste like burning.

The President



   This country needs a strong leader for president; someone who will lead them to success in Iraq. We are fighting not only to protect our people from terrorists, but to protect all people of this earth from this imminent doom. We musn't give up, there is still hope for the Iraqi people and for our soldiers. We must fight for the rights of all mankind. I do not know what strength is in me, but I could carry the burden of leading this country to victory. Let this be the hour that we draw swords together! Ride out with me!

Politics, Bloody Politics!!! Be Decisive!!!

As the Prime Minister of England I experienced the best and worst of politics. Attitude is a little thing that make a big difference. When a decision was being made on what should be done in the World War those who were ankle-biters would get nothing done for the war or for our country. They were just a hindrance to progression in a time when decisions needs to be made. What I see in American politics in this current age are blag artist argy-bargy ankle biters who feel no real call to serve their country in the positions they hold by making tough decisions. From my experience I know that this is a pivotal moment for the United States. If action is not taken the United States super-power status, soft hegemony over the world, and alliances could all go to pot. Action needs to be taken drastically one way or the other in situations concerning the occupation of Iraq. Whether that decision is to withdraw troops, put more in, call on other nations to help the situation, something drastic needs to be done by those in power or all that the United States has gained in the world will disappear. At the beginning of this war there was large popularity for it and then popularity began to dwindle when occupation began. Since this time not much has changed in terms of decisions on how the war should be fought, if it should still be fought, and many other critical decisions. The only thing that has grown in this time is the danger for Americans to show their faces on Iraqi streets. American troops in Iraq are only fortifying themselves and are slow in their action. I am not suggesting that there is no military action happening in Iraq, I am suggesting that it is obvious in the current state of affairs that the war is not moving forward because of overall inactivity on the issue as a whole. In its current state of waffling around there have been decisions to surge troops, then take them out again, to withdraw funding, but then not to withdraw funding after all. A decision needs to be made soon...or the United States will become an anorak of Iraq.

Anyone but Clinton

Truly, anyone but Clinton would be a good choice. But as for me, I cautiously cast my vote to Ron Paul. He is a very level-headed man with great ideas. Check his stance on issues on www.RonPaul2008.com. Obama also seems to be a good choice. He correctly predicted the outcome of the war in Iraq and plans to end the war if he is voted in. Obama will bring brigades home at a rate of one or two per month, thus dispelling the fear of sudden retraction claimed by many ultra-right winged politicians. Either one of these men would make a great choice for President. If you want my opinion on war, see comments on Reid's first blog.

Politics

I was raised in Hollywood. I grew up in the movies. But despite my liberal upbringing, when my theatrical career ended I became very involved with the Republican Party of the United States. I ran in a congressional election based on my platform that was in full support of the Vietnam War. I served as a U.S. delegate and Richard Nixon appointed me to the United Nations. I have been an ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia and that was the best job that I have ever had! In 1976 I was the first female Chief of Protocol of the United States. While I have not been actively involved in politics for a few years, I still have great interest in all of the governments throughout the world. I strongly support the Republican Party and try to remain actively involved in my local politics in any way that I can. Between politics and theater, I have fulfilled my greatest goals.

Politics

I don't know what to say about politics. It's hard to know the candidates really think or believe. I won't be voting this year because I have no faith in our government. I think our judicial system is corrupt as well. It's how innoncent people like my brother and I end up in prison. I have to answer to our nations problems. The only thing I can say is that it is going to take some time.

Vote Clinton

I, like the brilliant Dr. House, think Hilary Clinton would make the best candidate. Not only does she qualify on her own, but she has a husband who has been through the swings of politics. With his support, America receives, in theory, two presidents, of whom both are well-educated and versed in political aspects. Therefore, the best possible solution to America's nearly unbroken string of sub par presidents, is to vote for the name of the only recent, decent leader.

Politics

Bush sucks. I am liberal, but really I just think what I think on an issue and it really has nothing to do with a political party's prejudices. Romney is running for a 2012 election, because he knows (and everyone else knows) that this is going to be a liberal election; so it sucks for him if the Mormons vote him in the primaries and he goes into the election only to lose because, there goes his career. Guliani is an idiot. He is to liberal for the Republicans and to conservative for the Democrats. He may win the primaries, but only because of his reputation; and he will get slaughtered in the election. McCain is done, 'nuf said. Hilary is going to dominate, though it seems as though no one wants her; though she still leads the polls... Obama takes no stances on issues and refuses to take shots at Hilary meaning he is really running to be her Vice President. The only chance he has at winning is if the 18-30 age group actually votes in substancial numbers, because it seems like they all want him...even though he doesn't really say anything...just shows how stupid kids really are. A mormon, a black person, and a woman. Just put in Gladys Knight and lets get it all over with.

My name is Muerte!

I am a knife fighter and theif down in the "big easy", New orleans. Its soo easy to make a living down here. With all the people walking around drunk through bourbon st. and all over the french quarter, hardly anyone has the ability to defend themselves. They all cry, say "don't hurt me" and simply give me their money at the fear of the end of their lives. Of course everyonce and a while you get a sober one which can be quite annoying but i guess life can't always be that easy.

Michael Scoffield

My name is Michael Scoffield. I am a male in my twenties. I successfully broke myself, my brother, and others out of prison. I cleverly tattooed the blueprints of the prison using a code that only I understood. I was on the run until I got thrown into jail in Panama. Now I must find a way to break out myself and a man named Whistler. Otherwise my nephew L.J. and my friend Sarah will be killed. My life is out of control.

House

I am Dr. Gregory House. I am the head of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine, specializing in infectious disease and Nephrology at the Princeton-Plainsbro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. I am considered a maverick medical genius by the medical world and a lunatic, though nevertheless a very lucky lunatic, by my associates. I am very sarcastic and generally do not care what you think about anything, including myself. I am seen as lonely and have the sad problem of turning away others from my person, when really everyone else are all idiots. I think that sums it up, hmm... yep.

Jim

I'm sure many of you already know me or my associates, however, I'd like to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Jim Halpert. I enjoy working at Dunder Mifflin... I could work there for years... and years...and... years. I am in love with one of my co-workers... hopefully things will work out. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to celebrity news by Kelly, reading my copy of Threat Level Midnight, and of course.... long walks on the beach. Well... I better get back to selling paper.. attempting to sell paper. goodnight pam

I'm Ralph Wiggum and when I grow up I want to be a principal or a catipillar.

I like to do many thing. I like to do sumersults and go to Africa and pick my nose. The doctor told me that my nose wouldn't bleed so much if I just kept my finger out of there, but it's just so tempting. When I see butterflies, I like to chase them and then...I like cats. Meow!

Vote Obama

Hey what's up everybody! I'm Reid and unlike most of you, I actually exist. I graduated from high school earlier this year, and am now going to college, but I can't tell you where, because that could compromise the identity of who's actually typing this. I'm a pretty average kid for the most part. I love music, movies, and the occasional cigar. Some people call me a hippie, but I'm a patriot too. I have two tattoos on my back, one of an American flag, and one of a peace sign. I think that peace and love are what this country actually stands for. Bush has led this country straight to the crapper, and we need someone like Barack Obama to get us out fast! If you want to know why just ask and I'll go on for hours. As you might have guessed, I have very liberal views, both politically and socially, so hopefully that won't be a problem on a BYU blog. Well that's about it for now. Peace!

Miss Hermione Granger

'ello all! I am so pleased to join this discussion forum and learn a bit more about American culture. Brigham Young University is a fine institution, much like my alma mater, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. I feel a bit out of line disclosing this information, as the Statute of Secrecy forbids me to reveal my magical abilities to Muggles, but as a Muggle-born myself I feel it is my duty and also imperative that you know for the moment. Besides, Professor Flitwick raves about my memory charm; before long you'll have no recollection of this conversation! For the time being, however, I hope you all enjoy this peek into the magical realms of this world. My life at Hogwarts has been quite the adventure, largely due to my befriending the wizarding world hero, Harry Potter and the maddening Ronald Weasley. That boy puzzles me at times! Then again most do. Those boys mean the world to me though and I suppose we've developed lasting friendships. There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them. It troubles me that oftentimes I give the impression of that of a bossy know-it-all. I suppose others find my studious manner and high marks rather intimidating, but the truth is that it masks my immense fear of failure. Originally I detested the idea of breaking rules as it was a blatant disregard for structure and guidelines in place for our benefit. Our behavior oftentimes could have resulted in death--or worse expulsion. I shudder at the thought! I must be honest though, I am not above bending or breaking rules that further what I deem legitimate ends. I know it sounds atrocious, but there are measures that must be taken. Anyway, enough about me. I cannot reveal all my secrets and shortcomings just yet, now can I? You're all still strangers to me for goodness sake! Besides, arithmancy homework calls. What a treat! Farewell for now!
Sincerely,
Miss Hermione Granger

So Totally Exciting!!!


I am like so excited to talk to you all!!! I am Candy Apple! Isn't that like the sweetest name you have ever heard?! I am like so lucky my parents gave me such a totally cute name! So I guess I should tell you about myself. I am 17, 5 foot 3, a gemini, and have blonde hair. So my hair was this ugly, dirty color when my friend said I should totally dye it....so I did! She was sooo right! I love my hair now! My friend is like the smartest person I know! My favorite things to do are buying new stiletto heels, hanging out with friends at the country club, and taking my dog Fri-Fri (isn't she sooo cute!!) for walks. So that's me for now! I like can't wait to hear more from you guys! I bet we'll be BFF's!!!! Yay us!!

Fantastic!

(While putting mayonnaise in a toaster): "I'm Brick Tamland. People seem to like me because I am polite and I'm rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an IQ of 48, and am what some people call 'mentally retarded.'"

Kali

Hello. My name is Kali. I am an one-eared bunny and am mostly pink; I cannot claim to have all my fur. I've had my head ripped off at least twice. I believe Bush to be a good man doing mostly the right thing (I am pro-war). The Office is possible the most overrated show, next to the Simpson's and Shrek. In my free time, I like to take long walks on the Great Salt Lake beach with the highest payer.
I have been around for quite some time, 79 years to be exact. But despite my age, I get the most pleasure reminiscing about my childhood. I began acting at the age of 4, my favorite food was animal cracker soup, I wanted to become a pilot, and I was the youngest performer to receive an Oscar. Living through the Great Depression was very difficult but I was told that I had an optimistic influence on everyone around me. I was so happy especially when I was on stage singing or dancing. While my life as a youth was wonderful, I do enjoy my life now as a mother and wife. I hope that I can continue to influence youth of today so one day someone will say that Shirley Temple inspired them.

Dwight K. Schrute

Hello. My name is Dwight K. Schrute. I am your superior. Fact: I am Assistant Regional Manager. I am third in command. I can and do cut my own hair. It is said, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Well I say, keep everyone as close as possible to you because you don’t know who is your friend or your enemy. Keep the people below you even closer if that’s possible. Even if they have to be inside you. Songs are for children and inmates. Judge not, lest ye be a judge.

All About Me. Michael Scott.

Hellooooo fellow bloggers out there!

My name, is Michael Scott. I like to think of myself as a visionary. I am Regional Manager At a paper company named Dunder Mifflin. Yeppers, I am the boss. The big boss man. The World's Best Boss. I think that pretty much sums it up. (he is holding a coffee mug that reads "World's Best Boss") I found it at Spenser's Gifts. "I guess the atmosphere that I've tried to create here is that I'm a friend first and a boss second, and probably an entertainer third. "

Hey, I'm Donnie Darko. I have an imaginary friend named Frank. He is dressed in a large purple bunny suit. Frank saved my life one night, and now I have to obey him. He tells me to do things that are bad, but I have to do them.

"Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the Age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!"

Introduction...

Never give in! Never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
