A Pirate Looks at 1 and 1/12th
Wow, my blog is now 13 months old. And I haven't posted anything for about 3 months now.
So obviously you'd expect the dramatic swelling conclusion to the incredible intriguing Bob epic trilogy, but.......................................... sorry.
I haven't been bored enough lately. Plus, there's like 20 loose ends to tie up.
However I do have a viable substitute for that story. I will repeatedly say the French word for dealer in various fonts!
DOun-neher!
okay that's all the fonts i have.

The Chronicle of Bob: Part 2
STOP: Do not read this story without reading this first. In fact, you should probably leave a comment there as well for maximum enjoyment.
The last thing Bob remembered was passing out into a pool of his own vomit, asphyxiating him and killing off his brain. Well, at least one of them.
Bob 3 was dead. He couldn't move. He was floating... a light.... hmm.... how very........ special.
"Poose," muttered Bob 2 as he kicked Bob 3's now lifeless personality into the medulla oblongata. "Not like he helped with anything anyway," added Bob 6, who since getting addicted to cocaine didn't help with anything. He scratched his arm fervently on the needle tracks leading up his arm.
"Well, the important thing is not to panic. And is Bob 5 running the controls unmanaged?" asked Bob 1 increduously.
Indeed, it was Bob 5, who was trying to make Bob's body eat itself. After unsuccessfully pulling his feet over his back and chewing on his shoulder Bob 5 gave up and instead started blinking hard for no reason at all. It was pitch black in the room.
Soon a hard light flickered and flooded the room. A flea scrambled before getting flickered by the light.
A voice started to boom out of a small loudspeaker constructed entirely out of gum wrapper foil and bent silverware.
"I AM....wait, don't tell him... awww, sh" it said powerfully.
The lights turned out. It was pitch black in the room.
The same lights flickered again Once again the hard light dramatically flickered and flooded the room with a cold, unforgiving beam.
"...I've been waiting for you...." came the voice.
Bob didn't appear to respond at first but then after some careful thinking he answered wisely, "Ok."
"I'm sure you're dying to know why..." the voice said, again drifting off mysteriously into the dark.
Bob resorted to a phrase that had often saved him in the past. "What-the STUpiDFF%*#(--"
"Hahaha... I'm the one who burned down your house!!! Hahaha!!!" the voice declared with maniacal laughter.
"I thought that was Swedish Kid but okay," said Bob.
"You mean you're not Swedish? My bad," the voice said in surprise, then remarked, "I was wondering why you were so stupid," before folding up and turning the light back off.
Bob got mad and wanted to tear down that stupid roof that was hiding the light. Bob 6 was in that "HULK-SMASH!!" mentality it was always bulking itself up for. But as he got up, the stomach flu came back, making him dizzy and causing him to slip. Bob clutched his left ankle and rolled on the ground for about 5 minutes. He lay there, stunned, while little mechanical noises went off in the background. He thought that it sounded like jalepeno pepper warriors getting sliced. They probably got the shaft for everything. Like, the harder they try, the more people get mad at them and then one day they find themselves facedown in some gutter in New Orleans with no shirt and a bunch of bead necklaces before some guy slices them into little pieces and puts them in a delicious sandwich. Mmm, sandwich. Bob passed out from stomach flu shortly after.
Later that night....
Jake Rice was baking cookies in the shape of regular polygons up to 17-gons for Geometry when he heard a scratching at the door. It was one of his cats.
What's up with this cat? he thought to himself as he paused from trying to bend his cookie cutter into 11 equal segments at congruent angles. He got up and opened the door, but all that greeted him on the other side was a dead pidgeon at the end of the driveway.
Cool. He didn't know why but he walked out to poke it. Something about it called to him.
As he walked some random elementary school kid jumped out from behind a bush and tagged him. His cat came over and clawed at his back. Jake Rice pushed the dumb cat away and walked back to his house to finish those cookies.
Greg Rice stood in the doorway. "Thanks for making those cookies for me, Jake Rice," Greg said before he hopped in his car and drove to downtown New York. Jake Rice sat down at the table bending the cookie cutter again. At least today was going pretty good so far.
* * * * * *
A small panda was standing on a commode in nearby China. It was looking at a local McDonald's greedily.
Crack! went a .45 ACP round as it left the pistol it was fired from. Zack de la Rocha yelled, "Get the f$() off the commode!"
Ever since leaving Rage Against the Machine, Zack de la Rocha had been busy protesting the Iraq war, working on a solo album, rocking against Bush, and capping pandas off commodes. He had also been searching for a magic strawberry that a young kid named David had told him about while playing a game of Kickball tag before T.Wise had struck him down from the floor with a thunderous throw like an inverted Zeus smiting Socrates. He'd also heard of a young girl named Ellen something that had a similar vendetta against rabbits or something, but her methods were a little too brutal for him.
He had in his pack a microphone, various clay molds for making pewter mugs, and a Now That's What I Call De La O 14 CD. When he had shot the panda the microphone explodes, shattering the molds, either drop the hits like De la O or "get the f$*( off the commode." He had secretly told people what he would be doing through his music but no one at Songfacts.com got it. They figured it was about sex or something.
Something broke his train of thought. His panda detector went off, tracing it to a Wal-Mart in western PA. He started hiking east. Every panda will go before I do, he thought to himself.
* * * * * *
Bob 3 slowly opened his eyes, which were too close together and had no eyebrows, to a blindingly white light. A hand clothed in shimmering samite waved two fingers in front of his face.
"Am I in.... heaven?" asked Bob 3 groggily, still stunned from the light.
"No, there's no such thing as heaven, silly," said an angelic voice.
"Dang it.... all that emo music was right," Bob 3 replied before rolling over and closing his eyes again.
"Just kidding with you, man... I say that to pretty much everyone at the Pearly Gates," said the voice again. "I'm St. Peter, if you haven't figured that out yet. It gets kinda boring here, plus I'm not allowed to read ahead in the Book of Names. I think you're in here dude, hang on..."
Bob 3 lay there, stunned, floating on a little cloud, with cherubs nursing his asphyxiated lung.
"Oh, sweet man, you got one of those little sword looking things by your name. Like, this."
Bob 3 was confused. "How did you speak that symbol out loud?"
St. Peter looked puzzled. "What symbol?"
"The one you just did, the little dagger sign."
St. Peter screwed up his face a bit, then it dawned on him. "Oh yeah, this is heaven!!! I forgot, on Earth you don't have the language capacity to communicate thoughts like that. I mean, your writing is still two-dimensional, for Christ's sake. Not literally, though. The Man Himself is back There, waiting, so go ahead in."
Bob 3 stepped through the Pearly Gates and into the Light....
* * * * *
Bob woke up slowly to a dark room. The voice seemed to be back, but instead of a cold, hard, robotic voice, it sounded like a whiny old woman. "I just came back from Mars. They didn't even want the President or anyone like that because they weren't as important as me. In fact, I addressed an audience of 10 billion Martians about the Holocaust just last week, and now in the middle of nowhere..."
It was Holocaust-speech woman, a woman who desecrated the fiery genocide of the Jewish race by going around the country and telling high school students how important she was to the memory of the Holocaust because she was very important.
Bob 4 was all for killing her. He charged at her angrily to beat her head off a podium before Bob 6 managed to tackle himself. Bob remembered falling earlier and grabbed his right ankle. Bob 2 grabbed Bob 6 and beat him up before taking over the controls himself. He tore a pipe out of the wall and whipped it at Holocaust lady before passing out again.
* * * * *
Jake Rice took a warm, steaming chocolate chip, marshmallow, peanut butter and sugar 17-gon shaped cookie off of the cooling rack. Each side was exactly 26mm each and formed a perfect 158.82352941176470588235294117647 degree angle with another side. He raised it to his mouth to taste the fruition of his hard work.
At that exact moment a homeless bum who had been living in the top cupboard in the kitchen fell out onto the ground, rolled over, and tagged him.
As Jake Rice lay there wondering if he'd ever have kids, the hobo said, "To be continued in Part 3: Bob 7 and the Glorious Appearing" and took the rest of the cookies.

Speedblog May Edition Part 2b
I slowly counted down the seconds till the end of Wiser's 6th period class.
5....
Jake Rice woke from his deep hibernation.
4.... Wiser started to say something about the depression, and how he was born of a broken man.
3....
Goat started to sleep, "....now, in the fire, this cow..." Wiser continued...
2.....
It was an eternity for that last second. I swear, a fish outside the class evolved legs and started to walk before growing prehensile thumbs and constructing a crude version of the wheel.
1...
The Bell rang and I sprinted to lunch. I had to feed, my brain had eaten itself to stay awake.
As I entered the lunch room I was surprised to see the usual lines replaced with spikes, balls and chains. I asked the lunch lady for a cookie, but to my surprise she laughed and cracked the whip in her hand.
"Don't worry, we no longer charge money for food now!!! BUH WA HAHAHAHAHA!" she said as she got the f off her commode she was perched on.
"Well that's convenient" i said.
"Instead you must work for it in our salt mines for at least 30 years!! But don't worry, because after 5 minutes we're closing the line down for the day anyway!!"
The news hit me like a bullet in the head. I was stunned. Here was something I just couldn't understand. Those who died in those mines were justified. I recovered my senses and yelled to the lunch lady, "F&*@ you I won't do what you tell me!" I shouted to my comrades, "Take the power back! You know your enemy! They're the teachers who taught me to fight me! Chicken, cheese, cold pizza, not enough ranch dressing, undercooked meat, long lines, early closing down! All of which are Kaufman's dreams! All of which are Kaufman's dream!" I then grabbed a fork and started to bend it flat. Quickly I scooped up a handful of knives and pocketed them before throwing away 139 spoons and a tray. I bashed a tray against the vending machine on the corner that used to be a library. Mr. Wagner walked over to me. I held my breath. Was he against me?
"Mr. Spittler...." said Mr. Wagner as he sent goat to the isolation table for cutting line. Somehow, I don't think anyone shared my vision, since an army of pigs were trying to silence my style.

Across the universe only two blogs have ever speedblogged ever. Let it be, I'm looking through you other bloggers with your personal journal topics. Get back, lady madonna, because the end is getting better for some other guy. If you can figure this topic out without help, good luck. Don't bother me with trying, because you can't do that. Your mother should know about you even trying. So I was waiting for the one after 909, when these boys came along and asked me, "Do you want to know a secret?" I should have known better but I told these kids, "I'll be on my way," and tried to make some money searchin' for the long and winding road. All things must pass, so don't ask me why. Come together and listen to the continuing story of Bungalow Bill, as told by Rocky Racoon. Don't pass me by, this is an only chance, you must hear every little thing or you're going to lose that girl.
Last night the Magical Mystery tour stopped for no one. A guy named Sgt. Pepper and his Lonely Hearts Club Band said, "Good Morning, Good Morning! Happy Birthday! Good Night!" I will, but look out, because here comes the sun! Honey, don't! How do you like it when someone hits you!
I don't want to spoil the party but this is the end.

This story is entirely fictitious. Any similarities between this story and the real-life Bob are entirely coincedence and actually kind of cool in a serendipitous way.
On August 25 in the year of our Lord 1988, God was chilling on His couch with a McHeaven shake and watching humanity bring itself to an end. And He got Bored.
"Hey J-Dawg, let's try to confuse people by making a cybernetic cyborg pimp that's bipolar. And we can like throw in one of those, like, hidden purposes that only become clear after they do something profound like taking a Renurt's seat."
"Alright, " agreed Jesus.
And so it was that Bob was born, real name Bob, but tricked into thinking his name was Kory Smathers. And on that day the heavens opened up and dumped eighteen inches of snow on the small Clarion-County-looking town, which was in fact actually Clarion County, on the 25th of August. Indeed it was fate that saved them because the Smathers had to recover their pool, thus preventing them from accidentally leaving Bob by himself at the age of 0 to wander into the pool and drown, which is what happened in an alternate universe.
But of course Satan, being Satan and evil and such, whose dominion extends over the Earth, couldn't just let God try these things out without interfering somehow. So naturally he went to scheming away with trickery, deceit, guile, and an elaborate plot involving sailors, green monkeys, and a couple of pandas.
Little did he know God already knew he was going to do this, and God had already made the necessary arrangements in His Infinite Wisdom, and in fact had made the arrangements for when Satan realized he was getting outsmarted and tried his next move. In fact, from here to eternity God had Satan outsmarted about infinity times.
Seven or eight years later Bob was sprinting down a court after an orange tinted air-filled sphere as if he were a rabbit and Ellen herself was after him. This death match of YMCA basketball was getting bloody since YMCA refs usually are those people that look at the sun without a box with a pinhole in it because they don't want to look stupid and then they get blinded and then pretend they're not really blind because then they'd seem stupid for looking at the sun without a box with a pinhole in it. In other words, they can't see. I was without glasses then. But at least I could see the injuries my team was suffering.
I scrambled across the court and leapt into a foxhole as machine gun fire raked across the court, hitting a bunch of people in the stands. I desperately clutched the ball while under fire and yelled, "APPLE, GO!!!" That was our play name, and coincedentally the Boston Celtics used the same play when they won the NBA championships about a million times. And, more coincedentally, that was Satan's trigger word for his plan.
Bob took off at a mad sprint and clocked an impressive 4.78 miles per hour as he hurtled towards a short fat kid in glasses from North Clarion. At that moment Satan possessed the target of a "Brick Pick," or the short fat kid in glasses from North Clarion, and when Bob slammed into him with the same force as a nuclear submarine hitting a bottlenose dolphin at 45 knots, detonating all the warheads on board, Satan strickenified him with a pathological virus of epic proportions. There was a loud explosion, a thunderclap, and a puff of smoke as the poor kid hit the floor. Satan stole off somewhere and on his way back to Hell, ran into a Goat, which began to walk on two legs and smoke cigarettes.
No one paid much attention to all this since the game itself was like being in a history of torture musuem during a tornado while thousands of Huns battled around you for Iceland. All I can really remember is that we won, our only basketball victory that year, 3-5.
A month later Bob was getting a vaccination for rabies when the doctor came in with grave news.
"Hey Bob, eat this time delay stomach flu pill so you'll have to come back later for antibiotics. Oh and by the way you're schizophrenic."
Bob was FURIOUS. "Why have they lied to me?" Bob 2 was vengeful. "I'll kill those %*3ers!!", a phrase that would get a lot of use later. Bob 3 was sad. "They're gonna make fun of me now." Bob 4 was angry and grunted loudly to show this. "IMAKILLSPITTLER KK. MAAAAH..." Bob 5 sat there silently trying to push his eyes apart. Bob 6 was happy. "At least it wasn't just in my head." They all murmured in agreement.
"It's probably caused by an extreme temperature change at the time of your birth, an excess of estrogen, or a severe lack of a sense of humor."
Thus his maligned personalities started to take over Bob. Bobs 1 and 2 made Bob 5 do all the work of social interaction and started working on plans of world domination and pimping while Bob 3 just sat around and listened to a bunch of emo music. Bob 6 secretly got hooked on cocaine and Bob 4 just lifted weights all the time. And thus Bob took French class.
But God in his omnipresent omnipotence had omnisciently seen this already scandalous corruption, and had planted another Bob, Bob number 7 (the number of God) deep in the recesses of Bob's brain.
Bob (as a whole), of course, didn't really notice anything and tried to live his life out as a normal kid, but since Bob 1 was constantly forcing his will on Bob 5 and making these huge bipolar mood swings, he often would get angry at people, say, trying to repair his broken leg after a card-making accident, or people building him cakes or something. He tried hard to fit in but something inside suggested that he was a cybernetic pimp deep down, which he was. I mean, it's not like you can just go to Wal-Mart and grab a cybernetic pimp and a gallon of milk and then check out and go.home and eat a bag of cheetos and watch Gigli on Pay-Per-View alone, in the dark and cry about how miserable life is. These kind of things take a lot of time and planning, similar to abducting a celebrity's poodle for ransom.
But Bob's pimp ascension is relatively simple in comparision and involves less waiting in vans with a stopwatch, cat, and a net.
Around the year 2001, after a relatively uneventful life (except for the one time in what's it called, and the truck full of SPAM that one time) Bob logged onto the Internet and signed onto ICQ. He would never be the same, because with six personalities to choose from, girls can find something they like in there. And with the anonymity of the internet, Bob 4's slacking in the physical department and Ellen's dad's poor job of making a cybernetic body for Bob wouldn't matter. Ironically Ellen's dad makes babies for women.
To his good fortune Bob was a natural at this "meeting-chicks-over-the-Internet" thing. Perhaps it was his striking features, his chiseled triathletic body, his intellectually engaging conversation, or his keen and insightful wit. Or maybe he discovered the secret to Internet pheremones. In any case within a month he had a network of at least four "employees" at any school in the entire state, including somehow the Amish ones without electricity. There was no where he could without being covered in a living blanket of nubile adolescent females. Okay, so maybe that's a stretch of the imagination. But still, it was impressive to watch this kid score like Pedro in a cake factory.
But eventually this led to incidents, incidents like "KATRINA!!!", Terra Something from Union, and a series of unfortunate events that can probably be summed up in two sentences:
Brian: How do you get rid of guilt caused by doing something morally wrong and possibly illegal?
Tony: Watch the Catholic Channel!
And then we jumped on a trampoline for a few hours.
Meanwhile Satan was back scheming away like Renurt puzzling away at that 3-D maze in Super Mario RPG. He scratched the back of his neck and kinda held his hand there for a bit. Then he coughed pathetically and started playing video games.
Wait, that was Renurt.
Josh meanwhile was coming back out of a Chinese Restaurant named Pen Dragon, which is constructed entirely out of pens that haved been draggin' on the ground for awhile. He broke open a small fortune cookie and read the fortune inside. "A prophet in name only save your life, but you'll laugh at him." Josh was like, Dude, what the quail? and ripped his shirt off to go play basketball.
Satan's top demon, Maliforion, was hovering over a small Clarion town beating his wings later that night. A young author was typing away at his masterpiece on a computer that would one day inspire a young missionary named Mark to convert the entire Middle East to Christianity. Maliforion was going to possess the adolescent and change it so that instead his book would promote the repopulation of pandas and discourage eating at McDonald's. He placed a small commode on the ground nearby and it was immediately covered with pandas. Maliforion liked his job. He was Demon of the Month four times this year. Maliforion then flew in hard and fast to strike the young man whose heart was good and true.
By some miscalculation he accidentally slammed into the hind end of a large brown dog, who immediately ate him. The young man laughed at his dog's seemingly random auto-biting, and then got distracted and went into the kitchen for a pop and a bag of Oreos.
God then was like, "Dude, Satan, stop it, I definitely served you there like a a marshmallow peep at Ground Zero at Hiroshima. That reminds me, where are those priests anyway?"
And then one day Bob saw it outside. A squirrel building a supercomputer out of acorns and a garden hose.
Bob kinda shrugged to himself, as if this kinda thing happened all the time. Bob 5 really didn't care, and Bob 2 thought it'd be cool if it helped bring about the world's end. "Mmm... cereal..." he murmured to his friends in his head. He was eating Lucky Charms, with extra lucky. In fact, ever since the leprechaun's union insisted that the children following could not catch him without official documents in hand, Lucky had a lot more time to Charm with his wife. The inside of the box had some kinda writing on it, which in the ancient tongue of Aramaic said, "Bob, you are meant for greater things. Graspeth thee the swerde of destyny. In the swyming pool lieth a..."
Bob threw away the half full box of Lucky Charms casually and quickly looked around to see if anyone saw him do it. He then stealthily crept over to the trash bin, as if the Lucky Charms box would be expecting him, and then dug it out of the trash. Then he changed the bag out in it with Cheerios, and sprayed the inside of the trash with Lysol. Then he threw the box away anyway.
But then he realized something important: he was in Wal-Mart. At least, he thought it was Wal-Mart. He dropped the box and headed for the electronics department.
An old man with a smiley faced eyepatch and a navy blue vest kindly greeted him, "How can I help you?"
Bob 2 wanted to rip the old man's heart out and eat it. Bob 3 wished there was some kind of self-drowning machine. Bob 4 helpfully took over and replied, "Mmmmuuhh... help you!"
The old man politely walked away before Bob got angry. He was used to this thing back in his pirating days. Back then, when he was superunknown, he got a case of badmotorfinger, but after a few years he was ultramega ok. You know what, no one will get it, so I'll give it away. The old guy is Chris Cornell, and those are Soundgarden albums. Okay. And then Ellen hit a bunny with a lawnmower. See? Everyone got that one.
Bob then cut through the screens in the bathroom windows with a stolen pair of scissors, but he had taped four $20 bills to the gun rack in the sports department so he hoped that old woman with too much make-up with the orange fro would quit staring at him. He was trying to get out, but as luck would have it the screens in the bathroom didn't lead outside. In fact, it looked a lot like one of those evil lairs in the movies. And right now, Bob felt like he had the worst case of stomach flu he had ever felt....
To BE CONTINUED..........

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is no doubt one of the finest movies ever. Not only hilarious and more quotable than nearly any other movie except maybe Napolean Dynamite, it also conveys a deeper message, which is something like "Life is meaningless, give up! Vote Nader." Plus, the movie was funded by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
But the actual story on which MPHG is based is a bit fuzzy, to say the least. Sir Tom Malo-to-the-R-to-tha-Y supposedly made the whole thing up while in jail. Luckily, using modern science, I have discovered the original diary of King Arthur, and made appropriate translations. If you want to see Gizoogle's version of a part of Le Morte D'Arthur, try this.
Anyways, Arthur is the progeny of Uther from Penndragon, the Chinese King of the Hood, and Queen Ingraine, daughter of King Migraine. Like any normal child, he enjoys playing tag, Barney, and oppressing peasants. However, Arthur's not "normal." He has a "special gift," like eating scissors whole and not counting to five correctly. Wait, he's not a king yet. Never mind.
It turns out Merlin, the sly wizard of trickery, Ph.d Wiz-ar-dree, wizzin' are dry cause he's fly, tricked Uther into givin his son in a long and heated conversation, with Uther fightin to the last.
Merlin: "You have to like give up your son because he's gonna be king someday, even though you're already king and that was gonna happen, but he's gonna pull a sword out of a rock and then kill a bunch of knights, and then one of them is gonna sleep with his wife one day."
Uther: "Uhhh-eth....."
Merlin: "I'll give you some of these totally sweet mints"
Uther: "Okay"
So Arthur gets something that scientists commonly label "the shaft" and Uther has fresh minty breath. Uther scores with Ingraine, Arthur gets to wash pigs.
Sir Ector agrees to take Arthur in after Merlin holds a staff to his wife's head. They "trick" him into thinking he(Arty) has a brother, who actually has a name but I don't feel like thinking of wanting to try to remember it.
After 10 years or so, Ector is trying to show off to his knight friends how knightly he is and how he can out-knight by totally pulling a sword out of a stone at a small courtyard in England. While the festivities take place for the rich knights, an estimated 100 DIDs (Damsels In Distress) are eaten by dragons, 248 peasants die of starvation, 14 riots start in the surrounding villages, and a massive revolution overthrows a country. Then Ector's like, "Dude, where's my sword?" before passing out drunk from drinking ale and hitting on the courtyard babes. Arthur sneaks in and snatches the sword in the stone just to confuse people. No one even notices because they're all fighting about whether it's pronounced "to-may-to" or "to-mah-to" sauce. Some guy who never again is ever mentioned in the history books, Sir Michael of Fellps, draws a sword and gets capped by Merlin, who built a time machine and brought a gun back from the future. Then an angelic choir stuns everyone except Sir Ector, who's singing along because he's drunk and starts to dance before he slips in a pile of his own vomit and dies of alcohol poisoning face down in the mud several hours later. Everyone thinks Ector was bowing, so they start kneeling before Arthur, and plus Arthur's got this sword that's like glowing and on fire and angels are singing. What the heck would you do in a situation like that?
Someday I'll finish this.

I don't know how he did it, but Jake Rice totally hacked my website. This is awesome! Maybe it's because more people read his blog than me.
Whoa.
I'm in daze. It hasn't been this bad since that time I drank liquefied coffee beans and ran around in a hotel with no pants and my underwear on my head with a plastic bow.

The Chronicle of Jake Rice
My name is Jake Rice. And I'm here to tell my story.
This morning I got up like any other Thursday. I was getting ready for school, except it's Ascension Thursday today, and since I'm Catholic, I had to go to church at 7:00. Normally the sermon lasts about 12 minutes but today it was 26 minutes. That's pretty stupid. They should just say, "Jesus rose" and let us go. Someone called my cell phone and my ringtone was set to Brian's recording, which says "Jake Rice is gay."
Renurt left his locker open. He unlocks the lock on it after he gets in it, the stupid a-hole. What a freakin' idiot. I was gonna take the lock off but then someone tagged me.
In Geometry yesterday Mr. Leone gave me a 10 out of 20 on that billiards project. He didn't even write why, he just gave me a 10. That dropped me down to a 94% in that class. I was mad. You should at least leave a note about what it means, jeez. Then Brian freakin' turns around and asks me for gum. I DON'T HAVE ANY GUM! I should have punched him right in the face. I hate that kid.
Wiser's class was really stupid. We had to take a quiz on stuff we never learned. Luckily I had Angie's notes so I did okay. Goat tried to talk to me so I took his book and hid it. Then I stole his pencil and gave it to Brian. Brian threw it out the window, and it landed on some Mormons in front of the school.
At lunch I stole Bob's seat again. He got all mad and started flipping out. I got out of his way because Bob starting breathing through his face and his mouth and his ears all at once. Why doesn't he get mad at Renurt for being there? I don't understand him at all. I started to bend my fork flat again but then the bell rang and someone tagged me with their tray.
I was walking down the hall to Spanish. This is my worst time of the day. CJ, Sam, Buddy, and a bunch of 7th graders always try to tag me everyday. Today was a kinda good day cause only Sam got me. Freakin' fat Jew. He's part Catholic but he definitely isn't.
In chem someone tried to burn my head off with a Bunsen Burne...
Whoa! how did I get on - this isn't ja- Brian's - when? I- the human mind can sometimes- ANY GUM!- wha7 7he ?;;a@,d*(*< ǎϝ[╩{▐{bd;}░

The question has come up: Jake Rice must survey who is cooler, Led Zeppelin or Josh Groban. It so angers me that this is even a question. I feel obligated to explain why Led Zeppelin totally owns Josh Groban the way a sleazy corporate executive owns a factory full of illegal Mexican immigrants.
First of all, in terms of popularity, Josh Groban doesn't even come close. Look at the raw facts.
- Led Zeppelin's two worst selling albums released sold 6 million copies each. All of Josh Groban's recorded works combined have sold almost 10 million. That's only 96 MILLION copies less than Led Zeppelin. (riaa.org)
- Led Zeppelin never did concerts with other bands. Their biggest concert attracted nearly 70,000 people, more than any NFL game ever.
- Josh Groban's best selling album has gone double-platinum, or over two million copies. That's less copies sold than "Now That's What I Call Christmas" (seriously, riaa.org and joshgroban.com) Led Zeppelin's best selling album has gone TWENTY TWO times platinum. 22 million copies, or more than Eminem, Jimmy Buffet, the Doobie Brothers, Beastie Boys, Jimi Hendrix, or the Who did.
Now for opinion:
Led Zeppelin is infinitely more influential than Josh Groban will ever be. Led Zeppelin will always be hallowed as the fathers of hard rock and metal. Josh Groban is doomed to be forgotten and swallowed up in the ever raging flood of pop-singers. Robert Plant, the lead singer of Led Zeppelin, can consistently hit a high G ( http://www.buckeye-web.com/prox/voice.html) and even hit a soprano's high C. I'm not sure if Groban can do that, but Plant puts so much more energy and emotion into it than a classically trained pop-singing pansy ever could. Led Zeppelin totally pwns Josh Groban that you have to use the word pwn to describe it. Led Zeppelin was so powerful that they toured with a 300,000 watt speaker system. A typical amp is 150 watts. Nearly every single rock band today cites Led Zeppelin or someone influenced by Zeppelin as one of their primary influences.
My apologies to Mr. Groban if he is reading this, but Led Zeppelin totally pwns him.
