Punt, Pass, and Kick Preparation
Posted by: Cody Hudson
August 31, 2010 - 9:07 PM

As I'm sure you all know football season is upon us.  And everybody knows what that means...  It's almost Punt, Pass, and Kick time.  I soon plan to begin training for this illustrious competition.  In order to prepare properly I will need a volunteer who can catch, return, and measure my punts, my passes, and my kicks.  There is no receiving involved in this competition so the volunteer trainer will be required to run the ball back to me and place it in my hands after it has been punted, passed, or kicked.  Throwing the ball back to me will not be an option, regardless of how fast, high, or hard you can throw.  The returning of the ball is a vital part of this procedure and must be done efficiently.  I personally only have one ball, so if the volunteer could purchase a bag of game ready footballs they will be reimbursed just as soon as I get my Punt, Pass, and Kick petty cash in from my Grandma (she wants to see me wing a few tight spirals before she invests).  The volunteer will also need be required to wear eye black, gloves, and full NFL authentic Kansas City Chiefs Road uniform.  Those who are interested please email me at punt.pass.kick.2010champion@nobodycanstopme.com   

as always Denver Bronco's fans need not apply

WANTED- TIME TRAVEL NEEDED

WANTED- Looking for someone to go back in time with me. This is no joke. Must bring your own weapons (light saber would be best, samurai sword may pose storage issues), Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before. Seeking someone of an agreeable nature with futuristic camping skills. Denver Bronco fans need not apply. The inside track on a future root beer or beef jerky supply would be an exciting addition to this voyage. If you think you're interested just get ahold of my cousin on his beep and I'll call you from a pay phone when I'm handy. Thanks

I noticed today that my grass is becoming quite long in comparison to that of my neighbors.  So if anyone has a lawnmower and the type of tenacity it takes to cut grass in this heat please let me know.  You must also have a weedeater, a good attitude, and a willingness to work for free.  We could probably cut a deal, maybe you can have 2 drinks out of the hose.  I don't know yet, I'll think about it...  Those interested  Call 555-234-5555

Terri Thompson

NTAF Midwest/West Kidney Transplant Fund
Emporia, KS

 

Terri Thompson was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease when she was 27 and has endured multiple health problems, along with other family members, including her mother, brother and two sisters who have also been diagnosed with this hereditary disease. Terri has been a registered nurse for nineteen years. During her career she has helped others in a variety of nursing roles, including management of 4 dialysis units for several years. 

Terri was living what she refers to as a “normal life ”(even with kidney function of 24%), working full-time as a school nurse until April 2009. Then a kidney infection changed her life and placed her in end stage renal failure.  She took a medical leave, believing she would heal and be able to return to her nursing position. Unfortunately, her kidney function did not return, and she is now on the kidney transplant list. Due to her blood type, Terri could be on the list for 2-3 years or longer. Many have offered to be a donor to Terri.

 

Kelly Dooley (kidney donor) is a long time friend of Terri’s daughter, Christin Black. Kelly, of her own volition and without the knowledge of Terri or Christin, began researching what was required to be a living donor and filled out the necessary paperwork. It was only then that Kelly informed Terry of her decision to be her donor. Within a very short time, they found out that Kelly was a match! Kelly is recently married, works in a hospital, has a Masters in Speech Pathology, and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. Kelly is willing to make a sacrifice above and beyond to give the gift of life. 

 

Even with insurance, there are many uninsured transplant expenses that must be paid for out-of-pocket: co-pays, deductibles, immunosuppressant drugs, and travel and relocation expenses. A fundraising campaign in Terri’s honor has been established with NTAF (formerly National Transplant Assistance Fund). NTAF is a non-profit organization that has been assisting the transplant community with fundraising for more than 26 years. All contributions are tax-deductible and are administered by NTAF exclusively for transplant-related expenses. When considering your donation, please think of Kelly’s generosity.

I'm sorry... I have truly tried to not say very much about the subject because I truly am a believer in good sportmanship, but isn't it a little funny that everyone picked KU to win it all???  I know I will eat my words again if KSU does anything less than win a National title (which I believe is entirely unlikely), however, in the mean time....  I'd just like to thank the Jayhawks again for all their hard work in the NCAA tourney this year!

Lil Wayne Still Free!

Lil Wayne still remains free after a court house fire!! Wow talk about some dumb luck. When most people face prison time, they pray for a court house fire but for Lil wayne, it just happens. Of course its no secret that Lil Wayne is facing up to a year in prison for weapons possession. My question is, why do all these famous people keep getting in trouble for carrying guns. Or in general just being involved in stupid crimes. Your rich! Hire a body guard! Let them carry the guns. Keep yourself out of trouble. No need to act like a idiot.

American Flop

Can anybody tell me what has happened to American Idol?  It was so good when it first started and offered deserving people a path to their dreams.  It's really too bad.  No doubt about it that Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are the greatest American Idol contestents  followed closely by Chris Daughtry.  And remember when Taylor Hicks won??  I know he's been out of the spot light since then, but come on....  That was someone exciting to see win because he was like 30.  I'm tired of 16 year olds talking about how they've been singing for 9 years....  Yeah I sang when I was 8 too, but it wasn't good.  Come talk to me after your voice matures!

Did anybody else catch the Grammys?  Very Scary Stuff!  I've heard that Lady Gaga is the next Madonna and I would have to say in terms of weirdness she is well on her way.  But the thing that hit me the hardest was probably Elton John coming out on stage with the black ash all over his face!  I was watching it with a couple of musician friends and we laughed for probably a half hour.  That was the funniest stuff I've seen in a while.  We gotz to get that video up on this website!

I'm not sure if anybody out there is happy about the late night mix up going on at NBC but I am very sad to see Coco go.  What will I do without his genius monologue and happy string dance?!  I'll tell you one thing....  The old is... well... OLD!  And this is the second time Leno has been fired.  Jay should have just stepped aside respectfully and made way for the future.  Hmm.... I think there is a lesson for Emporia in all of this!!!!
