Well, Forum Bowl I was a success. A big thanks to Intense one for organizing it and to Sin Sister for tending medically to the wounded and grabbing extra beer for the drunks. It's also imperative that we give big props to O&A Army for providing us with free wings and celery (yes, celery) at Hooters for our postgame party. You are still "The Greatest", pal.
For those of you who did not attend, you really missed out on a good time. I had the privilege to meet KCPowercat, MC86, bmanpoo, and KC Paul for the first time. Believe it or not, they're all good guys. Yes, even KC Paul. I mean, give the guy credit. After all this time and all the heat he has taken on The Forum, he finally decided to show up for a forum event...to play FOOTBALL of all things! Paulie assures me this will not be his last forum event. That's good to hear. The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned.
In addition, this was also Rancho Relaxo's first forum event and a rare appearance for Bubba Clyde. Everyone faired well - no one died, no one puked. Granted, CDUBB accidentally got concussed by HuskerBen's knee and had to leave the game. But we're kind of glad it happened because it gave those of us on team Jingle-Ass an excuse for losing to the Butthooks by a final score of 42-35.
If you're interested in hearing a few interviews from the game, check out the sound clip page here: http://westmar3.tripod.com/id17.htm
Note: My apologies. The link above to the soundclips is currently not working because Tripod is a cheap-ass, piece-of-crap service. They're almost as bad as blogger.com...almost...but not quite. I will try to find an alternative method for sharing these clips as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience, kidz.

The outrage this week against Monday Night Football's sexy pregame promo was just another fine example of how clueless some Americans are. Apparently these dumbasses haven't been watching anything but MNF for the last ten years because there are far worse things being shown on network television these days - and earlier than 8PM, too!
The only thing I'm wondering is...wouldn't it have been a better promo if Terrell Owens ignores Sheridan's barenaked body and continues making his way to the game? I mean, are you trying to promote the game or are you trying to tell people to have sex instead? Hello?! It makes me wonder how the public would've reacted had Owens NOT implied he was about to bump uglies with Nicollette Sheridan. Ah, screw it! They still would've bitched about "the nudity that wasn't really nudity".

Here are a couple of other interesting things to note from KCFORUM over the past week or so.
Frankentiger's response to a new reality television series: Extreme Weddings
"Why do I envision (Trevortime's) & (Hoosier)Dan's wedding with...
Twisted doing a dollar midget toss instead of dollar dance.
O&A throwing up cake and cheap punch
I.O. busting a chair over someone
Westy acting as d.j.
Blew Lew getting him drinks
Chelle leading prayers - over sullygal's objections that they're not the right prayer, then Dan yelling at both of them that he doesn't want any prayers
Stro, pell, and several others out the back door lighting the ceremonial wedding bong MasterP's wife crapping on the phone in the kitchen
Sportsnut taking terrible pictures
L.J. talking how it would be a better party without "W" as president
MC86, catkins, and CDUBB in a corner fighting.
And BJMIKE sitting in a corner making fun of everyone for showing up to a 'forum event' "

It's always amusing to keep an eye on the KCFORUM exchanges between Leawood John and Karupt. Sure, sometimes Karupt takes things overboard. But at least his points make logical sense most of the time. Leawood John, on the other hand, is about as zaney as a person can get. He tends to feel so strongly about things that he often forgets to take a step back and listen to what he is saying/read what he is posting. This past week he was adamant that a Marine who had shot a wounded Iraqi insurgent was wrong. After L.J. dropped hints of his own "military experience", Karupt fired back a signature response:
"LJ is this what you learned during your post bootcamp training?
This is my Spatula. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My Spatula is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My Spatula, without me, is useless. Without my Spatula, I am useless. I must flip my Spatula true. I must flip straighter than my enemy who is trying to out cook me. I must serve him before he serves me. I WILL...
My Spatula and myself know that what counts in this war is not the burgers we cook over fire, the Diarrhea burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the cooks that count. WE WILL COOK...
My Spatula is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its handle and its scratch proof resistance. I will ever guard it against the ravages of grease and stains as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my Spatula clean and ready. We will become part of each other. WE WILL...
Before God, I swear this creed. My Spatula and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our Hamburger. WE ARE THE SAVIORS OF MY LIFE.
So be it, until dinner is served and there is no leftovers, but beats!"
Leawood John went on to claim that his specialty in the service was "military intelligence". I find this difficult to believe. So does Karupt. Read on:
"Obviously deadly force is a completely new thing for you. Did you not attend OCS? There are three items mentioned in that that clearly give him the right to kill the terrorist. If you can't see that either you didn't take the time to read it or once again you are more Taliban than American.
Either way your constant siding with the enemy makes me have real doubts about anything that you say regarding the military now or your 'past' involvement in the armed services.
To think that a guy that was allegedly serving during the Vietnam war has this little knowledge of combat, military laws and the Geneva convention...you have to be kidding."
As goofy as Leawood John's political views are, it should come as no surprise to us that he "tries" to keep his true identity/real name a secret while posting on KCFORUM.net.
