Debate Problems

On my recent debate problems.

Tim Scheff: there seems to be a curse for sheb north senior debaters… if they get a girlfriend things go to shit
njbubbster02: that’s kinda true
njbubbster02: then again, i’m the only one to not go to shit
njbubbster02: that either speaks well for me as a debater or terrible for my love life
njbubbster02: lol.
Tim Scheff: little column a, little of column b?
njbubbster02: sure?

njbubbster02: The Supreme Court of Wisconsin Forensics and Debate discussion (Wisconsin Foreniscs Daily) has granted certiorari to the on going case Varsity Switch Sides et al v. Varsity Four Person et al

About Blogging

njbubbster02: get this
njbubbster02: i just did an interview for some kid who’s a friend of one of justin’s friends.
njbubbster02: about blogging
njbubbster02: through email
Scourgie: weird
Scourgie: what did he ask?
njbubbster02: nothing substantial
njbubbster02: Please provide any personal information you feel I should know. (age, job title, etc) What benefits do you receive from your blog? (Why do you blog?) Your new blog mentions that your brother criticized your old blog’s political ranting and raving. Do you feel you accomplished anything by posting political commentary on your old site? The only people who seem to comment on your blog are close friends, why do you communicate with them via your blog rather than face to face, or even over the phone? Does your blog allow you to express thoughts you normally would not mention in face to face conversation? Thanks again, and feel free to comment on anything else you think could contribute to my story.
njbubbster02: apparently he found me through jacobi
njbubbster02: or vice versa
Scourgie: Was it a school project?
njbubbster02: i’m not really sure
njbubbster02: Hey Nick, Thanks for agreeing to a short online interview for curb magazine, a student publication of the UW School of Journalism. I’m writing an article on whether or not blogs are all they are hyped up to be. I interviewed Adam Jacobi and I want to get another perspective from someone within his “online group.” I’ve procrastinated, like I do on any school project, and have a deadline of tomorrow, so I’d appreciate it if you could answer the attached questions tonight. Please call or email me with any questiosn you have, and I thank you for helping shape my story. David Glisczinski
Scourgie: Ha! I bet it’s a j202 project.
njbubbster02: http://www.journalism.wisc.edu/j417/fall04/index.htm
njbubbster02: i’m thinking j417
Scourgie: I guess so.
Scourgie: I think that’s the magazine classe
njbubbster02: yeah.
njbubbster02: still. wierd.
njbubbster02: you want to see my answers to the interview?
Scourgie: Yes!
njbubbster02: so we can trash the article when it comes out? (jk)
Scourgie: I’m intruigued why you don’t call me on the phone and why i have to keep in touch thru your blog.
njbubbster02: i call!
njbubbster02: not as much as i should
Scourgie: hehe. I know. It just sounded like kind of a touchy question.
Scourgie: Like too onesided.
njbubbster02: like, “have you stopped beating your wife yet?”
Scourgie: Why are you such a nerd that you only talk to your friends thru a blog? Are you intimidated by face to face conversation? Do you HATE people?
…..
Scourgie: I like how you say that you are really communicative to respond to his sassy question.
Scourgie: I can’t wait to see how he quotes you. You were really helpful.
njbubbster02: yeah.
Scourgie: It seems like he really read your blog though.
njbubbster02: i know
njbubbster02: its scarry
Scourgie: Maybe he’s a fanboy.
Scourgie: He should talk to me about how I read people’s blogs when I haven’t spoken to them in years, Leigh, Maylander, etc.
njbubbster02: jsut got a response
njbubbster02: Thanks for calling me out in interviewing you over email. As i wrote that question i thought of how hypocritical I was in asking it.
Scourgie: ha!
Scourgie: You should blog this! This conversation about your email interview about blogging would appear on your blog! ahh!
njbubbster02: talk about remediation.
Scourgie: A vicious cycle.

Finally!

So Jeremy and I were talking earlier today, and this is what was said. (Although I edited a bit.)

Shoe Of Mine: oh so i realized that iv been indocernated by fox news
njbubbster02: woa. hold on.
njbubbster02: i need to send that to tim and I’m going to start playing vindicated.
njbubbster02: one down, one to go, until I convert all of my debaters to the light side.
Shoe Of Mine: im recovering!
Shoe Of Mine: i havnt watched it in hours!
Shoe Of Mine: i think i might relapse, bill o’riely turns me on

College Reflection

Scourgie: LIke if you won the lottery, you’d just get a bunch of degrees?
njbubbster02: i think so. that’d be pretty cool, wouldn’t it?
Scourgie: Hell yeah, your grades wouldn’t really matter, but you’d be doing if for yourself.
njbubbster02: well, actually. i’d be doing it for world domination.
Scourgie: ahh, I see. A noble cause.

Blake Prep (when I should be studying for finals)

njbubbster02: explain buddism simply
N E Requests: ha. Well, my brother once put it best:
N E Requests: My mom got a huge omelette………
N E Requests: and my brother said “That’s a really Buddhist omelette.”
N E Requests: we went “Huh?”
N E Requests: He goes “You know, the one with everything.”
njbubbster02: laugh.
njbubbster02: that’s pretty good.

……………

MarkerNumber1: oh, I though of another cool case for jeremy to run
MarkerNumber1: since you liked the last one so much
njbubbster02: oh god.
MarkerNumber1: it should be a performance
MarkerNumber1: that we need prayer to guide us
MarkerNumber1: then he prays for part of his speech
njbubbster02: rofl
MarkerNumber1: yeah
njbubbster02: he should kneel too!
MarkerNumber1: unfortunately, he didn’t like it this time

………………
MarkerNumber1: society would be better if oppression was garaunteed not to occur
njbubbster02: usually. unless you want to be all final solution-ish
MarkerNumber1: what, that oppression is justified to solve a greater harm?
njbubbster02: yeah. i wouldn’t advocate that. but its plausible.
MarkerNumber1: hmm
MarkerNumber1: I think I should be able to win on that
njbubbster02: people used to impact turn nuke holocaust senarios and argue spark, “a nuclear war is good”
njbubbster02: you could do the same “oppression good” leads to master race.
MarkerNumber1: that could be performance to
njbubbster02: [i'm being a total smartass, and i think you're taking me seriously]
MarkerNumber1: do the hitler solute
njbubbster02: well, then you might stand a chance to beat vieira (she’s jewish)
njbubbster02: you know, he only got rid of 12 million of them.
njbubbster02: odds are in your favor.
MarkerNumber1: heh

God, I love my debaters

MarkerNumber1: did jeremy talk to you about the resolutional k?
njbubbster02: i think he’s just about to start doing that.
MarkerNumber1: okay
MarkerNumber1: let me know what you think
MarkerNumber1: I bet you’ll hate it
njbubbster02: most likely.
MarkerNumber1: haha

[switch to a conversation with Jeremy, going on at the same time.]
Shoe Of Mine: nick
Shoe Of Mine: got 2 min?
njbubbster02: yeah
Shoe Of Mine: never mind
njbubbster02: okay.,
Shoe Of Mine: chuck came threw before you, so he “stamped out the fire” of the horrible idea
…..
njbubbster02: was this some resolution k?
Shoe Of Mine: it was brians idea
Shoe Of Mine: but yes
njbubbster02: lol.

[Back to Brian]
MarkerNumber1: yeah
MarkerNumber1: so the idea was that the res says “the united states has”
MarkerNumber1: but it should be “the united states have”
MarkerNumber1: because states is plural
njbubbster02: lol.

[Back to Jeremy]
Shoe Of Mine: and worse yet, it involved gammer
Shoe Of Mine: grammer*
Shoe Of Mine: united states has (brian said have) chuck cleared up 2 reasons why has is ok, although like bria nadn i intiialy thought it would work
njbubbster02: what’s worse than the idea its self, is that you actually think its a good idea.
Shoe Of Mine: it was brians idea
Shoe Of Mine: if it was true
Shoe Of Mine: its not a bad idea
Shoe Of Mine: sure. not traditional in ld
Shoe Of Mine: but still true
Shoe Of Mine: if truth is on your side its harder to lose
njbubbster02: you mean aside from the fact that the “united States” is one nation.
njbubbster02: with one constitution and one national government?
Shoe Of Mine: HEY WHY DONT YOU FUCK YOURSELF
Shoe Of Mine: it was brians idea, make fun of him

Which I did….

njbubbster02: did you get bored in a class today or what?
MarkerNumber1: sounded like something jeremy would like to run
njbubbster02: yeah, except the antebellum constitution has been dead since the civil war.
njbubbster02: although it seems that rhenquist is determined to bring it back before he dies.
…
njbubbster02: Shoe Of Mine: it was brians idea, make fun of him
MarkerNumber1: sorry
MarkerNumber1: sounds like jeremy all right
njbubbster02: nothing to be sorry about; i just find this pretty funny

Picture Fun

Me and Tim reacting to Minneapple pictures:

njbubbster02: oooh apple valley pictures.
njbubbster02: here
Tim Scheff: what the hell, patty?
njbubbster02: yeah, i found that kinda wierd.
njbubbster02: but he was one of patty’s qf judges
Tim Scheff: and he got brian again too!
njbubbster02: you know; its not like a picture steals your soul
njbubbster02: this isn’t a goosebumbs book.
Tim Scheff: yes they do… when you have a bad expression its a garunteed steal
njbubbster02: are you too old to know of goosebumbs?
Tim Scheff: yup
njbubbster02: yeah; they were all the rage in elementary school. trashiest horror novelettes. Not surprisingly, Fox made it into a saturday morning live action show in the style of Nickelodeon’s “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”. The one I’m reffering to was titled “Say Cheese and Die.”
njbubbster02: which promted other great works, like “say cheese and die, again”
njbubbster02: which had the subtitle “Hey, the flash didn’t go off”
