Vikings Are On Double Secret Probation

ponder-on-double-secret-probation
Your Delta Tau Chi Name Is Flounder
Point of parliamentary procedure:

Little did Viking House realize that they were on double secret probation since early September. Dean Spielman had great expectations this year but after the Vikings midterm exams, scoring a dismal 2-7 record, talk has now shifted to a top draft choice next spring. Right after all the toilet seats explode in the dormitory.

What? Over? Did you say "Over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is!

 For the past three weeks since the Ponder pine riding, Ponder has dare I say, put up respectable numbers. Against Green Bay, Ponder completed 67% of his passes, rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown and recorded an 86.4 passer rating. Against Dallas, he completed 68% of his passes, passed for a touchdown, rushed for 29 yards and a touchdown and recorded an 82.7 passer rating. Against the Redskins, he completed 81% of his passes, passed for two touchdowns, rushed for 13 yards and a touchdown and recorded a 113.1 passer rating.

Some advice: Start drinking heavily.

With that said, I am aware of what the TV bobble-head analysts are saying:
Ponder was a reach. Ponder locks in on his primary target, takes to long to get set in the pocket, leaves the pocket way to early, takes his eyes off the field when forced out of the pocket, does not see the wide open receivers, hasn't passed for over 240 yards this season, etc. Ponder is all but run out of town.

As a die hard Viking fan I have seen this movie before. As recently as the Tavaris Jackson years. All that talk that he is "Thee" guy to take the Vikings to the next level. And then three years later, some guy named Favre replaced him and ran Jackson out of town. And still no Super Bowl ring.

And now we have the new "Guy" in Josh Freeman. The big armed quarterback that will vault the Vikings to the top...

Thank you sir may I have another. WHACK! Thank you sir may I have another. WHACK!

TOGA... TOGA... TOGA...

Happy Halloween 2013

Cool halloween effects and props
Happy Halloween 2013
All the leaves are dead,
And the sky is black.
I've been for a walk,
On Halloween night.
I'd be safe and warm,
If it weren't Hollows Eve.
Halloween nightmare,
On such a witching day.


It's 12 midnight and Halloween is officially over and in the books. Here in Youngstown, Ohio, the weather did not cooperate as it rained during the witching hours of trick or treat. The rain had washed the magic out of the air.

As usual these days, kids have lost the art of trick or treat. Many of the several hundred kids that braved the rain still could not grasp the concept of trick or treat. They walked up to the porch and just looked at me. They did not open their bags. Or say trick or treat. Or make any type of motion. Many of them reminded me of a young Michael Meyers from the Halloween movie fame. The small child staring blankly into space, not saying a word.

Anyway, only 22 days left to go. It's been a long ride but it's almost here. And thank you all.

Happy Halloween

Ripleys Haunted Adventure Gatlinburg 2013

Located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Ripleys Haunted Adventure draws huge crowds in the month of October as hordes of the living come to get scared by hordes of the undead. Just inside the entrance to the haunted house is an excellent prop, the Headless Horseman. Great addition to the haunt as people wait in line to enter. 
A unique entrance to the haunt. You pile into a steel cage and the cage slowly rises to the top. From there you are met by a sinister being and directed to the entrance of the haunt.  The haunt itself was very well thought out and put together. There were plenty of "Live" action and actors inside to interact with the group.  You went through as a group, usually 5-7 people per group. It is pitch dark in some area's but it is easy to navigate.   Tip: They will try to sell you a fiber optic light to help you get through the haunt. When you need it the most, you are instructed to turn it off inside the haunt.   One thing missing this year from years past. The "Monster Parade." On Fridays and Saturdays in October, at 6:17 pm, the monsters in all their costumes would meander up the Parkway from the Star Car Museum to Ripleys and interact with the patrons waiting to get in or standing around watching Stumpy scare people walking by. The parade is no more. All in all, well worth the money.

When Zombies Attack Video

Zombies are relentless for your flesh. Zombies will not stop, will not waver, or detour from their quest to taste your flesh. The only way to stop zombies is to destroy their brain. Guns are an excellent way to stop the zombie horde.
Check out this Dark Zone Zombie shooting gallery video. Great footage folks, click the play button before you get bit.

Hotel Conneaut Ghost Elizabeth In A Bikini

Hotel Conneaut Ghost Elizabeth Sightings
Hotel Conneaut Ghost Elizabeth 
The Grassy Knoll Institute paranormal investigators returned once again to Hotel Conneaut to document evidence that the elusive Matron of the Manor, Ghost Elizabeth, is still roaming the hallways after her tragic death in 1943.

Last evening we filmed several hours on the third floor in total darkness with nothing registering on our equipment. Perhaps Ghost Elizabeth was now at peace.

We were about to call it an evening when the room began to slowly glow. The light slowly lit the surrounding area illuminating the hallway and to our amazement a figure of a woman began to materialize right before our eyes. We snapped pictures quickly but in a matter of seconds Elizabeth with gone.

Again, strong proof that Hotel Conneaut is haunted by the Ghost of Bride Elizabeth.

Happy Halloween
