OJs Bronco, the name (retro)

After talking it over the band has decided to call themselves 'OJ's Bronco' The deciding factors were that it tied for first on the poll. OJ's Bronco has much marketing potential. Perhaps the greatest factor was a quote from one of the comments of a poll participant. "I feel 'OJ's Bronco' would be an awesome name for a band. It really defines our generation and puts everything in perspective for me."

Look, that DJ is feeding his face again.

It's that time again. Time to honor a new Person of the Week. This week we honor Matt Holwerda. Now, none of us actually knew Mr. Holwerda before last night, however we know his daughter and new son-in-law quite well. We salute you Mr. Holwerda for the free food and drink and the wonderful time had by all at your daughter's wedding. Also, for bringing together three former people of the week in one building... Jessica, Ted, and the artist formerly known as Luke Robitel.

Poll Results (retro)

The results of our two polls have been calculated. Seventy-Eight percent of you said you did not like hearing from a former significant other. This makes me feel better. It confirms that I am not alone in my thinking. Not only am I not alone but I am part of the majority. If you'd like to see the results of the poll click here.

Regarding band names. We have a tie. 'OJ's Bronco' and 'Sock Monkeys on Crack' have both received thirty-three percent of the vote. The band is going to take this information and use it in their final decision as to what the band name should be. Your input is greatly appreciated. If you'd like to see the results of the poll click here.

Filled with hate (retro)

Maybe I'm just funny, but I have been pissed off twice in the last two weeks by two different people with which I have had an intimate relationship. For some reason these girls thought that I would like to talk to them and in doing so get reacquainted with them. They both ironically were the two other halves in the two worst relationships I have ever had in my life ever. Both girls should be fully aware of the fact that they hurt me in ways that until it happened I didn't know you could hurt someone.

I'm just amazed by these two. One happens to come into my place of employment and recognizes me then upon returning home calls and tells me I should call her and we should get together sometime and here's my phone number....... The other sends me an email telling me how she saw the website and how much she misses the old times and how much fun we had in the basement and how sorry she is (which was nice to hear I might add) and how she wants to know how everything is going.....

With that said and much of the built up aggression released from inside me I ask all of you a quick question. As stated moments ago I may just be funny but I have a feeling I'm not alone on this. Take a quick second to answer the question below. (The question has been removed.)

Wonderful news (retro)

We have wonderful news. The Movie Review page and the It Came From the Basement page have both almost reach completion. Tomorrow evening or early Tuesday morning they will be available for your viewing pleasure. Juke has been working day and night (well mostly just night as he sleeps all day) to make this upgrade possible. I've been shown the rough draft for both sections and they're amazing. I've even heard rumors that Juke has been given offers by web design companies. A lot of the content is still incomplete. At this point we are almost ready to put our efforts into adding content. We have been concentrated on finishing their home. It will be outstanding.

Backbreaker!

We have a new Person of the Week. Vanessa Allen is another fan of our site. She visits at least once a day. In her spare time she enjoys posting flyers for 64tacos around the University of Nebraska campus. Her dedication and willingness to help spread the word of 64tacos has earned her this prestigious award.

Some of you may have noticed that the last couple People of the Week have been getting eight days. This is just to recalibrate so the week will actually start on a Sunday for each person.

Indestructible!

Another improvement is that past news updates will be located on their own pages. There will be a week's worth of updates located in the bar on the left. As the week passes, on updates older than a week will be removed and lost forever. Make sure you check often so as to not miss a beat.

No pain, no gain!

John Randolph is back from his suspension. It's been a hectic week without him so it's good to have him back.

Is it dead yet?

As part of our ongoing improvement Video Game Corner has been taken off for a short period of time. It will be re-released once the basement page has been completed.

Well, I don't know what to tell you other than your computer may be having technical difficulties.

David Rosss Return (retro)

Where do I start... Well I'll start with this, Florida was beautiful. We had a wonderful time with nothing to do. From the very beginning, we felt loved as Michigan showed it didn't want us to go. It tried it's best by putting a snow storm in front of us and sudden black ice pointed directly into the median. Despite all this we arrived in Florida on schedule. Spent time in the sun. Spent time in the rain. The beaches were beautiful. Golf was great. Not having a damn thing to do the whole time though, that's what was the best.

Now for what I'm sure all of you have been waiting for, my reaction to Luke's "takeover". What I have to say will be said in three parts. 1. What has happened. 2. What is happening. 3. What the future holds for 64tacos.

1. What has happened.
Luke was hired on because he did many wonderful things with Got Goat? and had many ideas on how to make 64tacos a nicer place to be. Luke, a man who needs someone looking over him at all times, was given full responsibility over 64tacos. An opportunity to prove he didn't need to be watched like a little kid in a candy shop. He took this opportunity to promote himself and attempt to destroy others.

2. What is happening.
I have had to take back full control of 64tacos. As agreed Luke will keep 'Extreme' for his own but all other projects will have to be overseen by myself. You may have noticed that a lot of his changes were reversed. Some of them however have stayed. Luke was hired because he has a natural sense of aesthetics when it comes to web design. He has again proven that he can put out a good product.

3. What the future holds for 64tacos.
Luke will keep his job. Many of you may ask, why keep someone who has shown such blatant disrespect. My answer is this. When I left I said this to Luke. "Luke, 64tacos is our way of entertaining the public. It's how we make people happy. Make people happy. Make them laugh. Keep them entertained." That's what he did. He entertained you. Just as I asked.

Is this going to go unpunished? No. Luke's punishment will be that he will no longer be named Luke. I have changed his name to Juke. The papers have already been signed. From now on Luke Robitel will be known as Juke Robitel.

On to other business. It is sad for me to see that Edward Lancaster III is no longer with us. I guess he has only himself to blame. If he was any good at giving financial advice we probably would have made enough money to pay him.

As of late two of our People of the Week have displayed atrocious behavior. Ted with his forwards and Juke with his self exaltation and disrespectful behavior. This proposes a very difficult question. Should they be allowed to keep there status of Person of the Week. I have thought long and hard about this.

Regarding Ted. Ted was given the title Person of the Week because he managed to go over a month without forwarding any junk. That in itself is an amazing feat. Ted will keep his title of Person of the week as long as Robert Downey Jr. keeps his Golden Globe. Yes he is a very talented actor but lets face it everyone knows they gave it to him because he was being good and not doing drugs. He had many much better performances before he did Ally McBeal. They didn't take it away from him when he went back on drugs. Well junk mail is Ted's drug and we support you all the way buddy. One thing I do find ironic about all this though is that not three months ago Ted changed his email address because he was 'receiving too much junk mail'. So in the same token I have changed my email address. If anyone else out there needs a new email address just let me know. I can give you one at 64tacos. Your address would be yourname@64tacos.com. To retrieve the mail you will need a program that can retrieve pop3 mail like outlook or outlook express.

Regarding Juke. At first some of you might not have understood the full severity of Juke's punishment. Luke Robitel will keep Person of the Week status. Juke Robitel will not. Luke was the one who received the title so he will keep it. All Juke will be able to do is look at it.

I have put John Randolph on suspension. I fear this will be a regular occurrence as he is a womanizer. Unfortunately, we can't fire him for this behavior as it is what he was hired to do.

With that I believe I have addressed every issue. I will now leave you with this.

I think McDonalds should add Crunchy McShrimp to their menu.

Why is his head so big? These people and their signing on and off.

Lukes take over: Day Last (retro)

A word on spam...

I got an e-mail last night that advertised "Helpful Septic Tank Information." How exactly did I get on this mailing list, pray tell? I don't own a septic tank and I don't want helpful information about them. I have to deal with enough poo as it is. (stupid monkeys)

Mr. Ross is supposed to be coming back tomorrow, so you might want to look closely at everything on this site, in case you missed any of the changes I made. There is a good chance that some of the more inappropriate changes will be made inaccessible after Mr. Ross sees them. I can't tell you exactly what changes were made because then you'd be able to find them easily. Think of it as a treasure hunt.

I figured out a clever name for the new color text thing. The "Random Questions" will be this color and the "Random Answers" will be this color. (See Below)

Do you want a Girl Scout cookie? Don't mind if I do.

I've decided that I can't do everything.

Oddly colored test (retro)

We have a new Person of the Week. He's a great guy and an amazing person. He's done wonderphul things phor this site. In phact, this site would not be the great site that it is, without his contributions. Check out the People of the Week page phor more inpho.

In case you hadn't noticed, oddly colored text has been popping up here and there. I have decided that I will change the color of the text when I am posting something that is pretty much unrelated to anything else. Phor instance, "Random Nuggets" will be this color. As soon as I think up clever names phor the other colored text things, I will let you know.

One other thing, this page was getting a tad on the text heavy side, thanks going primarily to myselph. Normally, I wouldn't give a rat's ass but the phile size was getting large and I know most of you are still stuck in the stone age with your 56k modems. So, I've done you a huge service by migrating all the David Ross news over to another page. It's not gone. Just moved to here (this link has been removed). No applause is necessary. No really, it was nothing. Plus, it makes this page look so much better, doesn't it? Bonus!

Do you want $3 to go to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund? No, but thanks for asking.

I think you should know that the world is full of stupid people.
