This section is still technically down, [i.e. not in full form] but there are some pictures I just had to post. I'm still looking for a decent program for making a thumbnail gallery, so if you know of one let me know and maybe I can get this section back up in its entirety!
I'm a Bush fan! At least, that's what the sign was. I picked it up at the College Republican booth at this student organization thing. I also have a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker from there. Hey, they were free!
Please note that we'd all been drinking heavily when the following pics were taken:
From Holmes Student Center at NIU. I draw your attention to the small sign at the right, which in case you can't read it, say "Fallout Shelter." I find that amusing. Must be a throwback to the '50s or something.
Also from the ICC parking lot. The sticker on the left is amusing, but the one on the right is just downright offensive. What I also found funny was my reflection in the middle, cigarette hanging out of my mouth. :-P
If you know my friend Angela, you know why this is funny. Otherwise, you probably won't get the full effect and I don't feel like explaining it. The daycare at ICC is down the hall from my class, and I saw this on my way to get a soda. Justin's response: "Angela's in daycare? That's adorable!"
Barack Obama, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate from Illinois, when he was in Metamora recently.
Pat with no pants. Don't ask me why he did this.
[Pat: (angrily, upon seeing this) Why the hell did you come in my house and take a picture of me with no pants?! Me: Dude, you TOOK them off in front of us! Pat: Oh, yeah. Now I remember.]
A very sad picture of me. I have a defense for this, though. See, at one point David noticed that "Who Let the Dogs In?" by Molly Ivins and "Slander" by Ann Coulter" have the exact same binding, as you can see from this picture. So, when I left to go to the bathroom, David switched the covers. When I got back, I noticed that what I thought was my Molly Ivins book was actually some Ann Coulter. However, I was too lazy to switch the covers back, so although it appears that I'm reading Ann Coulter, I'm actually reading Molly Ivins. :-P
Update: 5/18
Update to the mall traffic cone pic below. The grass around the cone has been mowed, but someone's still too lazy to move it, because THERE'S GRASS GROWING THROUGH THE FUCKING CONE!
Some cheese blintzes from IHOP. I love it and order it every time I go there, but my friends all think it's disgusting for some reason. Probably because David almost threw up when he tried one.
Me in one of my lower moments. Jesus, I STILL can't believe I actually paid money for that. The only reason I still have it is because I haven't decided who in my group needs to know how to fight the loony left yet, if you catch my meaning. *sly grin*
A better pic of Justin making us watch gay porn. I was sad that I couldn't get Justin in it (aside from his arm), but he now has a habit of turning it off before I can take a picture, so I have to be stealthy, which doesn't give me much time for aiming. But still, this pic is hilarious because it looks like Robbie and David are watching it. :-P
Random picture of me. I thought it was about time I had a pic of myself on here that isn't my driver's license pic from five years ago. And it's pretty rare that I actually look good in a picture.
Alex with a plastic bag for a shoe. Story: David had stolen one of Alex's shoes and hidden it outside. Problem was, it had recently rained and the ground was really soggy. So Alex ended up having to don what you see here to go out and find it.
Pizzazz Pizza! There's a bit of an inside joke here. That's at my house, but I don't know where the hell the empty box for it came from.
Taken outside Northwoods Mall. I draw your attention to the traffic cone sitting in the grass. We were passing by there, and noticed that in the middle of otherwise neatly mowed grass, there was about a three-foot radius around that cone where the grass was literally a foot tall. Guess someone was too lazy to move it.
Justin's bookshelf. This picture is the result of gag gifts from me to Justin for Christmas and his birthday. The ones I draw your attention to, from right to left: "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg, "Treason" by Ann Coulter, "The O'Reilly Factor" by Bill O'Reilly, and "Dianetics" by L. Ron Hubbard. If you know that Justin is just as far left as I am (as well as how much he hates Scientology), then you know why this is funny. He wasn't exactly happy with me. ;-) (I bought all those books used, BTW, specifically so it wouldn't involve giving the authors money.)
The result of another gag gift to Justin at the same time as the books in the previous pic. Yes, I bought him gay porn. But the sad part is, he actually makes us watch it! I tried to take a picture of us watching it, but it didn't turn out as well as I'd planned. I had the flash turned off so that the glare on the screen wouldn't interfere, and as a result, the gay porn turned out perfectly... but not much else did. So I've provided some helpful commentary with the pic. :-P
Update: 2/12
To avoid the bandwidth problems I've had with this section in the past, I've decided to start post stuff here as links.
From outside the RCA Dome at GC 2k3. I direct your attention to the bottom entry on the list. Man, this means I can't take my RPG launcher in the stadium!
Picture of Willie. Background: David decided to steal one of Willie's Rockstars (which, in case you don't know, is some manner of energy drink that my friends love but I think tastes like cough syrup), which is about a $2.00 value. He later pays Willie back for it, with 200 pennies. This is Willie with the pennies.
More crazy Christians, from a bulletin board at ICC. I didn't know why I found this funny at first, but David cleared it up for me with this comment upon seeing this picture: "God is big and scary, so we should worship him!"
Also from the ICC parking lot. I find this one especially funny because to the car to the left in the picture happens to be mine, and if you've seen the back of my car (there have been more left-wing bumper stickers added since then), you'll know why. Theoretically, our two cars should've been mystically repelled to opposite sides of the lot or something.
I found this mildly amusing. My first thought was roughly "WHAT THE HELL IS THE COUNCIL OF CONSERVATIVE CITIZENS DOING AT MY SCHOOL?!?!" I don't know what the sign was actually referring to, and I'm sure ICC isn't sponsoring a group comprised of racists/neo-confederates, but it's still finny. :-)
Behold my latest creation! You might recognize the picture from below on the page. The card idea was Justin's; I found it as a proxy at his house and decided to make a card out of it. By the way, the quote on the card was Patty's actual responce to seeing that picture.
This is Pat showing everyone his pubes. For some reason or another he thought it would be funny. He wasn't counting on me having my camera handy. He was NOT happy about this pic. Mike's the one facing away from the camera, and Justin's in the corner laughing his ass off.
