Ugliest Dog 2008

Some of you might remember when "Archie" won the ugliest dog contest last year. (See the 2nd post to this blog titled "So Pretty.") Just thought you would all like to know that Gus is the new winner.

Gus has only 3 legs and 1 eye and skin cancer.


A worthy opponent


Holy crap, how did this thing not win?

Forgotten Fridays

Man, I hadn't checked the Hungry Blog in a while...who knew so many great recipes have been going up. What's with all the flaxseed? Should I be eating flaxseed? I need a personal trainer, or whole team...Ambs? Che? Jess? Madre? Will you guys please put together a health regiment including food and exercise for me. Thanks.

Anyways, I was wondering when I might expect to see some archived photos surfacing? Should we make Fridays officially "Forgotten Fridays"? The pictures in my possession only go back to 2006, but don't you worry, I will try to do my part as well. Mom, I fear the majority of this special task lies in your hands. Do you accept your mission?

OK, that is all. Good night one and all.

MTC Soccer World Cup Update

Sadly, the IT Service Desk was defeated last week in its match against Development making way for the Cafeteria and Spanish Training teams to advance to the semi-final. However ironic it may seem, Spanish Training, the team that we beat in the first round, went on to win the Cup.

MTC Soccer World Cup

- The 2008 MTC World Cup is underway! Today were the first matches of the preliminary round. The IT Service Desk comes into the tournament as the defending champions and hopes to leave this year's tournament in a fashion similar to that of last year's. There are 8 teams competing to enter the winner take all 2 round tournament for total MTC glory. In Group 1 are the Cafeteria, the IT Service Desk, Spanish Training, and Development. Group 2 consists of the SMTC, Russian Training, the TEC, and the Referal Center.
- After today's matches the IT Service Desk is in good standing, having won 1 of 2 games and with a win in next week's matches will clinch a spot in the semi-final round. A close but heartbreaking 4-5 loss against the Cafeteria workers in their first match left the IT Service Desk exhausted after having played most of the first half a man short., but the arrival of reinforcements and a 45 minute recess between matches sparked their morale and they were able to fight off the attack of Spanish Training, winning the second match 6-4.

Here is a beginning of future fun pics for you to view. Aren't all of these babies the cutest?

HAPPY BIRFDAY MADRE!!

NOTICE!!!

Notice that the grip tape on the skateboard spells out Led Zeppelin! Somebody spent alot of time cutting out all those little letters. It's one of my favorite features of that board.
