Harvard

When I was on the East Coast, I applied for Harvard. I thought I would give it a try. I will let you know if I get accepted...

Callahan is gone!

Yeah, I know it's old news, but just in case you don't know why it's worth repeating:

Nebraska vs. Nevada: 52 - 10 W

Nebraska at Wake Forest 20 – 17 W

Nebraska vs. USC 31 – 49 L

Nebraska vs. Ball State 41 – 40 L

Nebraska vs. Iowa St. 35 – 17 W

Nebraska at Missouri 6 – 41 L

Nebraska vs. Oklahoma St. 14 – 45 L

Nebraska vs. Texas A&M 14 – 36 L

Nebraska at Texas 25 – 28 L

Nebraska at Kansas 39 – 76 L

Nebraska vs. Kansas St. 73 – 31 W

Nebraska at Colorado 51 – 65 L

I know...we really won against Ball State, but when the best you can do is only 1 point, I call that a loss.

Anyhow, here's hoping that the Husker Women's Volleyball team will do us proud!!!

Big Trouble in Little China

If you want to truly know "fear", catch a ride on this loony bin on wheels.

The Cherry Bus company prides itself in offering insanely low bus fares to those daring folks wishing to travel from Chinatown to Chinatown all along the East Coast. So for a meager $22, fine Huskers such as ourselves can travel from Philly to NYC (in route to Boston). But what the incredibly low bus fare doesn't tell you is that while the bus drivers are legally licensed to drive a 60-seat coffin on wheels, our beloved driver still handled the roads like a rickshaw driver going down Mount Huangshan in an ice storm. In fact, I'm reminded of City Airlines in the South Park episode "It's Christmas in Canada."

Philly MOA

So we went by the Philadelphia Museum of Art to see what was going on. This place was fantastic! Lots of great Renoir works. The Tibetan exhibit was particularly nice as well.

Rocky & Philadelphia

First stop on the East Coast...Philadelphia. It's a fun little town with strange boxer statues abound. Notice how the wierdness of the statue radiates such that it distorted the picture...

Jeff's long lost brother

This guy has absolutely nothing to do with this blog, but I hurt myself laughing every time I look at this picture!

The return of Tom

Well, dear readers, I return from my autumnal sabbatical to find that my beloved Huskers have gotten thumped by the Kansas Gayhawks. And it wasn't just a small win for them, it was a record score against us!!! My gawd, we're almost as bad as Baylor this year!!! But fear not, Tom Osborne has returned and I rest assured that he will right the Husker boat before it sinks to the bottom.

I think it's time to take the message to the streets that the Husker's are on their way back to the top of the polls. To kick things off I have hired a plane to head for the East Coast. I would like you to meet the pilot, Typhoid Mary. Weird name, I know, but the price was right and she can do this thing with her tongue that...well, that's another story for another day.

Those damn screws...

are under the couch in your upstairs bonus room. Duh.

Mmmmm...Bar-B-Q

Personally, I get half-a-stock just thinking about Bar-B-Q...

Joining the Circus

Buford and I have been considering joining the circus or possibly even a Civil War re-enactment troupe even though Nebraska wasn't even a state at the time.

In preparation, we both took turns getting shot out of a cannon.

Don't mind if I do!

An Albert & Buford PSA

Albert & Buford say:

"Never drink & drive U-hauls to the drive-thru ATM."

Jeff & Shannon are lame

Okay, you're lack of productive response tells me that you have not found the screws that were so generously dropped off at your house. I suppose that I will have to throw you another bone since you are not as smart or industrious as I thought.

There are 6 clues leading to the screws that held up ye ol' liscense plate. Each one is marked with a big red "N" and is numberd, so if you have found one already, you may have a leg up on the game. As I said, the first one is ON the phone and by "on" the phone , I mean it is UNDER the phone. Now, get your butt out of the chair and go find those clues!!

Good...now follow the directions to the next 5 clues. If you get stuck one and you can get past your ego, let me know and I will give you some hints.

Party Pics

With Albert returning from the tropics, Buford threw a party. Unfortunately we were too pooped to pop so we just hung out around the house:

Hide & Go-seek

Dear Jeff & Shannon,

I never did hear if you found the screws that I dropped off at your house. How's that working out for you???

-Albert & Buford.

Albert & the Seven Seas, Part X

I did some shopping while in Key West. In fact, I found a new party outfit for you, Jeff. It came highly recommended by Rooty-Tooty and friends back in Costa Maya.

Albert and the Seven Seas, Part IX

Have you ever seen Guatamala white before?

Albert and the Seven Seas, part VIII

Well, this sea travel stuff is starting to get to me. I've made it as far south as Guatemala and I think it's time to do some travel by air for a while...

Albert and the Seven Seas, part VII

Time for a break...Mexican beaches make a good place to nap.

Your screws

Hi there, Jeff!

I heard that you wanted your screws back, so I left a message "on" your phone. Take a real close look...

If you follow the clues, you will find your screws.

Enjoy!
-Albert & Buford.

Albert and the Seven Seas, Part VI

Welcome to Costa Maya, Mexico...home of Rooty, Tooty and Fresh & Fruity.

Albert and the Seven Seas, part V

Hey mon, what say we smoka spliff and chill on de bee-ach??

Albert and the Seven Seas, Part IV

Rock out with your cock out in Nassau!

Albert and the Seven Seas, Part III

Yeah, I did it again...drunken San Juan karaoke. Well, I did the drunken and the karaoke part again, anyhow. I belted out some Phantom and some Paul Simon for the crowd, but after singing Dear Old Nebraska U, I found that a few of my listeners had left. And you know, I can't blame them...have you ever really listened to that song? It's fairly accurate, though. Well, a few more drinks, a little bit of purging and I'll be off to bed.



After tonight, I think it's time to move on to some sunnier, more sober beaches...to be continued...


Dear Old Nebraska U (No Place Like Nebraska)
There is no place like Nebraska
Dear old Nebraska U.
Where the girls are the fairest,
The boys are the squarest,
Of any old school that I knew.
There is no place like Nebraska,
Where they're all true blue.
We'll all stick together,
In all kinds of weather,
For Dear old Nebraska U!

Albert and the Seven Seas, Part II

Wow, I had no idea that restaurants were allowed to serve this much daiquiri! At the Casa de Senior Frog, they call it "the yard". Let's see how Albert measures up by drinking not one, but two "yards."

Albert and the Seven Seas

I don't have much money, so I decided to stow-away on a boat and go wherever the winds blow me. I was discovered on the second day and was kicked off somewhere in the middle of the ocean. After one heck of a swim, I came to a rocky shore with stone walls. It looks like a fort or something. Where could I be? I climbed up on the wall to take a look around...

Obviously, I've found quite a nice little place. I wasn't sure where I was, so I decided to take a stroll through the nearby town. I found this odd looking gentleman hanging out in the streets. He was kindof a stuff-shirt though...he never would talk to me.
I couldn't place him immediately, but he looked familiar, though. At first I thought he might have been some kind of British military with his lack of talking and all, but that wasn't the case. Upon further investigation...

That's it!! Senior Frog of Puerto Rico! This is all starting to make sense now...I landed near a fort...I'm in Puerto Rico...I must be in San Juan!!! And now I think it's time for a drink with a frog.

To be continued...

Jeff?? Are you there??

Hi Jeff,

This is Buford. Did you get the gift I sent? I hope it brings Shannon hours of enjoyment. And of course, you should use it, too...just be sure to use plenty of lube. We don't need you hobbling around like a bow-legged cowboy. That could be akward. Rumors would start; for example: "You know I heard that Jeff likes it in the butt." Yeah, you don't need that, so be careful.

I'm beginning to grow concerned because I haven't heard from you in a while. What's the deal?

Strolling along...

I was hanging out in the snow the other day when I met this lovely woman. We quickly became good friends often enjoying long walks together and whispering sweet nothings into each others ear. Take a good look, Jeff...maybe you know her.

An Arkansas Ed-u-ka-shun

Featuring such popular classes as Poultry Nutrition, Reproduction in Farm Animals, and Herpetology (the study of herpes), Arkansas Tech is a tantalizing place to enroll. I am particularly intrigued by the Reproduction in Farm Animals course. The class is 3 hrs of lecture and 2 hrs of laboratory, which leaves me wondering: Does everyone in class take turns humping the same goat or do we each get our own "classroom volunteer"? Personally, I'm not into sloppy seconds, so that may be a deal breaker for me.

The Husker Blues

Well, Husker fans everywhere are a bit blue these days. While we are all a bit sad over our loss in the Cotton Bowl, the chance to be a color other than red is amusing. Regardless, I think it's time for a vacation from all of the football craziness...I will report back soon...
