The Product of Creative Frustration

Stanky

I want to like Kentucky. I live near it. I am friends with several of its residents. I occasionally defend it when jokes are made. (Unless the jokes are really funny.) But now I have to admit, people in Kentucky might not be too bright… Here is my evidence:

The Northern Kentucky Convention and Visitors wants to attract more people to visiting Northern Kentucky. So they made a web site. They bought a URL. They promote their area of the state. All good and well, right?

This is their URL: www.staynky.com.

I know. They were trying to be cute. Stay in Northern Kentucky. Looks like stanky to me.

Safety

My brother is running for Safety Officer of his club volleyball team at OU. Below is his campaign information:

Jake
Your 2005-2006 Safety Officer

Credentials

  • First Aid Certified
  • Adult CPR/AED Certified
  • Infant and Child CPR Certified

Experience

  • Long-standing tradition of safety
  • Once gave myself the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge a potato chip
  • I don’t make safety a fluke, I make it a habit

Record

  • Undefeated

Other Notables

  • Present at every practice and game during the 2004-2005 season

My Promise to You:

  • If you elect me as your safety officer, I promise I will do the job to the best of my ability, with enthusiasm, care, and precision. I will personally see to it that there are no volleyball-related fatalities during the 2005-2006 season.

Jake is endorsed by McGruff the Crime Dog, Smokey the Bear, and current Safety Officer Brian “Rider” Rider. He promises to continue Brian’s tradition of excellence in safety.

Note: Jake will also have 2 runningmates. If he is elected, Tom will be the Vice-Safety Officer and Andy will be the Treasurer of the Safety Office, as well as the Minister of Alcohol Safety. “As far as I know, I’ll be the only officer with his own cabinet,” said Jake. “And I’m prettysure no one else is running for safety officer. But that doesn’t make theposition any less prestigious.”

This Just In: I received this email from Jake late last night.

Subject : VICTORY!!!


Let it be known that on the night of April 27, 2005, yours truly was elected, by unanimous decision, as the 2005-2006 Safety Officer for Ohio Men’s Volleyball.

SWAK

I was killing time at the Houston airport, listening to my BF detail the evils of the state of Texas, home of GW. We went to numerous shops-o-crap to peruse their products. One store had all these cheeseball goodies you could buy with your name on them: keychains, bookmarks, mugs, stickers. The stickers were great. I could buy a little notepad with sheets of (the same eight) stickers that all said my name. But then we saw it. The pad of SWAK stickers.

SWAK?

We inquired with the counter girlie. What was this SWAK? Were we all out of it? Were we not hip with the vernacular of the young pepes? If so, the counter girlie wasn’t either…

But SWAK. What an awesome word.

We later realized that SWAK stands for Sealed With a Kiss.

Mustaches

So my boyfriend pointed out a while back the relationship between evil world leaders and mustaches. It’s almost as if having bad hair growing on your face makes you evil…
