There was a Meeting Saturday?

I know… I know… “Where’s you damn recap G$!!!” “Damn you G$!” Let me put it to you this way… if it comes between putting out a post versus hanging out with Ainsley and Harrison… The coolest/cutest niece and nephew will win that battle… everytime. All apologies… but you should know better… this is of course the “World’s Crappiest Blog.” So you were forewarned.

CALL ME HENRY ROLLINS… ‘Cause I’m a liar. Or at least that’s what some would want you to believe via the Iowa Independent. No one rebutted anything to me, my man. And thanks for reading too. I have this sitemeter thinger… it tells me who’s been here. Keep coming back! :)
ANOTHER THING – Not here to divide the party. And I don’t think everyone else in the LBC is trying to either. They are activists. Just a little bit louder than other ones. They are looking for a new leader. They, like many of us in the party, want to get it right… we want leadership… and we want to win again. Now those anonymous commenters… there are some who get out of hand. But, you’ll always get a gurantee here… you know who writes this and I’m easy to get a hold of.
SERIOUSLY DUDES… QCI is not a big deal. But… the BlogNetNews thinks we’re influential. #6 this week… does this mean we get into the BCS?
SPEAKING OF BLOGS – There’s a new one… Paint Iowa Red. They’ve endorsed Danny Carroll and Bob VanderPlaats. Welcome to the circus friends.
THERE WAS A MEETING SATURDAY? Huh!?!?!?!?! What!?!?!?!?! Yup there was. QCI had the early skinny on Saturday… and everyone else in the LBC chirped away. Censure is the word of the weekend… because that was the only fireworks… that and Chris Reed picking a fight with the self proclaimed “baddest black man in the state of Iowa,” Leon Mosley.
THE RECAP IS AN ONLY CHILD, HE’S WAITING IN THE PARK – (Sing a long!) “So whyeyeyeyeye don’t you use it?” The blogs are still burning. Let’s walk through the LBC to see what we find. Krusty has a full breakdown. Sunshine and crew at Battleground too. Dirty Deeth Done Dirt Cheap (your new nickname Deeth) has some stuff. The FlyBoys are in the know… quickest to post. And D-Chung is letting you know what’s up… because he was there.
ENTER MATT STRAWN – Matt Strawn is running for chair. Held a reception for SCC members Friday. I'm told there was a very good turn out of SCC members... good discussion. Plus... you know he's running... why the hell would you want to waste 7-8 hours of your life at a meeting on Saturday. So that brings the race to Sporer, Gopal, Strawn, Randall, Reed, Carroll and Pate. Anyone else?
BEARCAT FOOTBALL IS THE CURE FOR THE HAWKEYE FIX – Woot! Telling ya man. Northwest is good. 4 straight apearance to the title game. Noon. Saturday. Who want’s to watch it with me? Somewhere with chicken wings prefered… GO BEAR CATS!
IT’S HARD TO BE HUMBLE WHEN YOU’RE A HAWKEYE – Yea man… so the Wrestlers take care of business and the Women Hoopsters get r done. GO HAWKS! And… Hawk fans got better news!
COCKS VS. HAWKS – Let’s the junior high humor begin… The Hawkeyes will be taking on the Gamecocks of South Carolina in the Outback Bowl. Yo, Sic Willie, you wanna make a wager? Ha ha… cocks.
MULLET WATCH 2009 – Dudes… will have some breaking mullet news soon. But to hold you over… here’s some nice photo shop work from a loyal reader. Did you know it’s pronounce “Moo-lay”… it’s French…

AND FINALLY… I mention Henry Rollins… now I have the song in my head… but I like this version with the extra bonus added commentary… YES!!!!!

The Night Before Thanksgiving is a long to the top if ya wanna Rock 'n Roll

THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR – Football season is one of my favorites… Love Christmas… Actually... I really like Lent (dude, Church fish fries are off the hook). But I gotta tell ya… nothing beats the night before Thanksgiving in God’s Country, Iowa… It’s just fun. It gets better every year. So… for all of you South Hammies out there… and or God’s Country newbies… here’s your...


QCI Guide to the Night Before Thanksgiving in Jewell:

AXIS LANES and PLANET PASSENGERS (The Bowling Alley) - 712 Main Street, Jewell
Live music in the Planet Passengers Bar. Always a good hit… If you’re lucky Ray may fire up the keyboard… be prepared to sing along.
JEWELL GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB (The Golf Course) – 1225 Main Street, Jewell
Ever since they built the new clubhouse… this place has held steady as a must stop on the Pre Turkey Day Circuit. There will be Karaoke and good times had by all. And they have these ginormous beers. They are huge… even on QCI standards…
MISCHELLE’S FOOD AND SPIRITS – 621 Main Street, Jewell
Great food… perfect first stop before you roll up and down Main Street. Plus, they have cool stuff on the walls… kind a Jewell museum if you will. I recommend the Hardy Burger… with Cheese Balls.
MALIBU LOUNGE – 707 Main Street, Jewell
The ‘Bu… the Jewell main stay for years… no doubt everyone will eventually end up at the ‘Bu. It’s just the law in most cases. Although, I silently judge them for getting rid of tap beer... no worries... we still love ya.

THE BLOGOSPHERE IS DEAD – So yea… of course it is… even Hershel used a Drudge article… dudes… it’s a Holiday week. I predict some heavy comment numbers in the next few weeks. SCC Meeting at RPI and Chairman’s Race will be all the chatter. Stay tuned.
YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY – Looks like QCI-ders want a mullet… will it win?
QCI PROGRAMING NOTE – While you are stuffing your faces this weekend and/or looking to avoid awkward conversations with your relatives… be sure to stay tuned here… we’ll be answering some of the fan and hate mail we’ve been getting. Good Holiday Escape Reading if you will…

QCI FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY
“So and so... is hoping to see everyone come out to JGCC for drinks, Karaoke and good times tonight!”

The Golf Course has an online presence? Nice work man… hope to hear you belt out some ACDC tonight.

AND FINALLY… Bagpipes, rock ‘n roll and Angus… perfect combination for some driving home tunes! See you crazies in Jewell tonight!

NOT MAKING THIS UP – Don’t know if you’ve seen this yet… but it looks like 2 Iowa fans wanted to send the final Big Ten game in the Metrodome… with a bang. Check it out. Holy. Cow.
EL CAMINO REPUBLICANS HAVE MORE FUN – Alright… I have privately discussed the idea of sporting a mullet… you know, ‘cause I’m El Camino like that… so a loyal reader thought I should put it up to a vote. Against my better judgement, I’ve started a poll under the QCI Public Service Announcement on the right hand side of the blog. Mullet? Or no Mullet? It’s in your hands now.
THERE’S A RACE FOR IOWA GOP CHAIRMAN? Huh? What? You you don’t say… Hmmm… A debate on the soul of the party? Get out of here… For real?
KRUSTY IS GETTING RANDOM – Our favorite Klown is serving up some good randomnous this week… almost like some really good Thanksgiving sides… Hershel is also auditioning to join Team Palin. She needs it dude… that video is some of the worst staff/communications/really bad work I’ve ever seen on an interview. Go to Krusty to check it out. Seriously…

QCI FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY
“So and so… has all of your HOLIDAY NEEDS! We have GOGGLE HATS and OFFICIAL FOOTBALLS and of course, SEASON TICKETS!!!”

Hmmm… I wonder who’s status that is? Hmm…

AND FINALLY… Dumb video… GREAT COVER of a classic. Turn it up!

21,000... Really?

“For real, dogg?” For real, dogg. Seriously QCI-ders… we pass yet again another milestone here at the World’s Crappiest Blog.... over 21,000 hits! I feel like we should do something special. Hmmmm… Sing a song? Nah… that won’t work… this isn’t the Firehouse Lounge. 21 perfect stair steps finished off with a mullet? No time for that type of precision. How about doing like we always do. Keepin' it real deal Holyfield…

GOPUMAs? Krusty has and interesting read today about a meeting of the minds. Takes a shot at Doug Gross. Hershel, Scheff Scheff has them too… every other year to organize for the conventions. You’re right though, KK. We need to unite… more on that later this week.
CHILI – Dudes, it’s officially chili weather. But come to think of it… there’s always room for chili.
HAWKS AND MENTAL HEALTH – Fact: When the Hawks win, everyone is in a better mood.
OVER AT 621 EAST 9TH – Anyone have a darkhorse for chair that isn’t being mentioned? Speak up.
VILSACK AS AG SEC? No way... maybe for something else... just because you're from Iowa, you too can be Secretary of Ag. But this isn't the Iowan who is going to get the big time appointment. Vilsack will not be Ag Sec. Anyone want to place bets?
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST - Iowa AG Tom Miller will be the first Iowan to get a big time appointment in the Obama Administration, not Vilsack. He was one of the first to endorse him. Look for Miller's name connected to a high ranking Justice Department appointment.
BAILOUTS – Is it me or is everyone jumping in on the money free for all. GM… AMEX… damn. Seriously… if I didn’t get the Buick back or back in real crappy shape, I was ready to write Congress for a bailout. What’s the over under chance I’d get it?
NASCAR AND THE BIG 3 – Speaking of the economy… with all the trouble with the Big 3 American automakers… there’s talk that they may not be able to compete in NASCAR… YIKES! Somewhere in the booneys, there are rednecks loading their guns.
PALIN – The Battlegrounders are talking Palin this morning. And they are starting to make sense.
STEELE NOT NEWT – Well that’s the scuttle butt out of DC. Steele wants to be RNC Chair, not Newt… because Newt wants to run for POTUS... but that's just us speculating.

QCI FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY
“So and so… thinks it's kinda creepy that Elvis is buried just a few feet away from the swimming pool at Graceland. (A good cannonball could soak him.)”

And as someone rightly pointed out, “He did die over water you know.”

AND FINALLY… We’ve been tapping into the KIOA catalogs for tunes… and I believe I may have committed a ginormous sin… playing no Elvis. We’ll solve that right now with a little ode to the bastard who stole the Buick… and all the other fellas in cellblock B…
