Humpday Thing That Is Awesome

Every Wednesday, Max gives you a glimpse into his world by revealing something he thinks is, indeed, awesome. Today's entry: soup.

Holy God is soup awesome. Of all the culinary artists since the dawn of time, none has done more than the first sonuvabitch who threw everything laying around the cave into a mammoth-skin bag and boiled it. That man was a genius.

The thing I like about soup is it can be anything. What's your favorite food? Steak? Put it in the soup. You like broccoli? Throw it in. You adore leg of lamb? Let's simmer that for an hour and see how it tastes. Why the hell not. It's soup! To quote the modern genius Carl Weathers, "You got yourself a stew goin'."

Soup is amazing. It's magic. It tastes better after you've left it sit in the fridge over night. Let's see salad do that!

In conclusion: Soup is awesome.

Compliance Meeting!

I'm about to go to a compliance meeting to make sure we are up to date on all the rules of the NCAA. I love these damn meetings because they serve these ham and cheese croissants. They are delicious. They may be more delicious because they're free, I don't know.

Girl's Night Out

So I just get done watching Correll Buckhalter not get into the end-zone from one yard out (3 times) and I give Angie a call to say goodnight. When she answers there is a burst of laughter from 4 tipsy girls who are having a "girls night." Angie then passes me around to everyone in the the group and I make nice talk with all of them. She has to let me go and call back once everyone leaves. Then she tells me that I killed the buzz of all the girls in the group because I'm a grouch. I'm a little indifferent to this news...first, I wasn't expecting that level of energy when I called, so I think I should be cut some slack for carrying on a pretty good conversation. Second, it's good to know that I can turn off 4 drunk girls from 500 miles away.
Go Steelers!

Volleyball Iron Bowl

Like many people from Nebraska, I had never heard of or cared for the stupid Iron Bowl. Don't get me wrong, I've come to enjoy my Alabama football. The atmosphere is great on gameday and they're actually good now. Having said that..."GBR!"
Anyway, the volleyball version of the iron bowl is taking place tonight in Tuscaloosa in the CAVE where Alabama is 15-1 against Auburn since the turn of the century. We are currently trying to take our team "From Good to Great" (Which is a book, too) and we're not exactly sure which team is going to show up tonight...the great one, or the crappy one. We will see. We will see.
...The Huskers are good.
