Rejection

So Harvard said "no". Fine, I will go down the street and talk to my buddy Dim O'Neil at MIT. Maybe he can get me in there. So we fill out the applications and instead of a response, all I get is this picture:

Buford and I were clearly upset by another rejection. So to get a feel for why we keep getting turned down, I called up our buddy Dim and asked him why he felt we were not MIT material. His response:

"You see fellas, I received my undergrad at Notre Dame and now I'm working toward a masters at MIT. And in my eyes, what got me into both places was a big bank account. Well, that and a good recommendation from my priest. He really liked it when I ..."

Yeah, the last portion was truncated when it became a little too revealing. Regardless, I suppose Buford and I are not university material, so let's hit the road!!!

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...

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...
