We Want a Pitcher, Not a Belly Itcher

So I did not want to bore everyone with my work but April 19 we had our Spring Football Game and we had a men's lacrosse game before it and we tried to break some attendance records. I am happy to say we got 29,601 to see the lacrosse game which was a regular game season attendance record and for the Spring Game we had 77,000 + which was an Ohio State record, even though we had a rainy day which held some people back but I will take it. Any way I wanted to talk about the Cincinnati Reds game I went to on Monday night. We got some good seats for free about 13 rows up from the Dodgers bench. Now with good seats like these and a few beers in you it only leads to some good old fashion heckling. Just to set the record I am in favor of heckling in baseball if it is in all good clean fun, I do not use swears but just fun heckling. So it started with making fun of Andrew Jones who used to be a good hitter for the Braves but when he got to the Dodgers he got so bad that he was batting 8th, just in front of the pitcher, that was an easy one. A few beers later it went on to other Dodger players all getting chuckles from the fans around us. Then I had a heckle that brought the house down (more like the few rows around me who thought it was funny). There was this Dodgers fan who was sitting front row and cheering like a good loyal fan was, but when you are in the opposing teams house you should expect some heckling. Here is a photo of him I took:



So here is the story, a foul ball came his way and he caught it and began to stand and cheer about how awesome he was for catching a foul ball. The fans around the area began to boo him once the boo's ended was my time to shine. Just when it was quite enough I yelled out, "Go back to your mom's basement to play video games" This got some good laughs from the people that heard it, I even got a high five from some guys around me. I thought it was so funny that I had to tell other people after the fact what I had said and now I am telling you way after the fact, but I still find it funny. It has gone down as one of my finest moments in life.

Million Dollar Idea

I want to pitch this idea to all you investors out there that want to double your investment:

If you had a time machine would you go back in time and invest in Google before it became big? Or maybe IBM? Or maybe even sliced bread? Well those opportunities are gone but this one is the next big one. While I was out at a bar drinking I was talking to someone who drove a fork lift and it dawned on me of the next evolution of the fork lift. What happens when you want to lift something, but you also want to dig something at the same time. Well the fork is used for lifting and a spoon is used for digging and what is the combination of a fork and a spoon? A spork. Once the spork came into my head I knew I had a winning idea. The Spork-Lift (Registered Trade Mark) is going to be the next great machinery with the combo to lift and dig at the same time. I put together a mock up of what the Spork-Lift will look like. If you are an interested investor please contact me for more information.

April Fools!

hahahahahahahahaha

Gotcha! Totally fooled all of you!

...OK I realize that I fooled no one and probably confused more people than I tried to fool. My first flaw in this joke was me telling you I got a girl pregnant. As people pointed out to me that for this joke to be possible I would have to A) Hit puberty and B) Understand how to get a girl pregnant. To my defense, I did take Health Class in high school so I know how it works and I have been noticing my voice getting deeper and me growing hair in places that did not grow hair before. The second flaw in this joke was the link I attached to it, most people were confused as why I would trick people into viewing Rick Astley's music video "Never Gonna Give You Up", that was pretty much my whole April Fool's joke was tricking you in to viewing this "awesome" music video. As the newest crazy going around the internet is called getting Rick Rolled, here is what the Urban Dictionary says about Rick Roll:


From the Urban Dictionary

Rick rolled: To be tricked, through any method, into clicking a link that takes you to the Rick Astley video "Never Gonna Give You Up".


Basically how I liked the Ghost Riding video I talked about in my post in the fall, but no one else really understood, this is the same situation. Basically I am a dork and that was the whole joke making you apart of my dorkiness. Now you realize how good of an April Fool's joke this was, so stop calling me a dork and appreciate my work.

Big News

Sorry I have been not keeping up to date with my blog about the Big Ten Marketing Meetings but the short summary of it in an equation is take 45 sports marketers add 2 nights of free food and booze from sponsors equals not remembering a whole lot. Though that story is not the bigger issue at hand. I have been tackling a big issue and did not want to mention anything until I knew if it was true or not but looks like it is. I have found out that I am going to be a father. I know this must come as a surprise to many of you as it has to me. I do not know where to begin but I think alot of you can put it together on how it happened. I posted a youtube video of me and the mother getting an ultrasound. Check it out:
