AHHHHH!

AHHHH! Right now I'm under a table at a dance party.I'm hiding because -
1. Everybody has to find a partner and dance.
2.The music is 100000000000 decibels!
3. I'm forced to eat at a table of teenage girls. I need some peace from those texting squirls!

That's why I used my amimal instincs and hid from the preditor squirls!
Time to eat (or be eaten),..

Pi

The diameter times pi is the circumference of that same circle. Pi goes on forever. Lots of people memorize it as far as they can. I did. Pi = 3.14159265358979323846264338347950288419716939937510582097494459230781640

Bart and Brett

When you think of the Packers best player ever, you think it's a no brainer- Brett Favre. But let's think about Brett Favre. He has pretty much every passing record, games played in a row record (QB), wins (QB), and more. He has an an amazing 3 MVP awards. BUT - When it mattered the most, he lost it. The all time leader in touchdowns also threw a mind boggling 288 interceptions. That's at least 1 (sometimes 6) interception every game (on average). He's one of the greatest QB's ever? He won 1 super bowl. In the 1998 super bowl he threw lots of interceptions. In 2001, 2002, 2004, and this year, 2008, he blew it in the playoffs with goofy, misdirected interceptions. In the 1960s, the Pack had QB Bart Starr (left). He may not have had as many touchdowns, wins, or MVP's, but he won 5 world championships and 2 super bowls. People think Brett is good in cold weather? When it doesn't matter! The Pack lost 2 times in the cold to the Bears this season. HE LOST TO REX GROSSMAN! He's a future HOF QB!? In 1967, there was the most cold game in NFL history. The ice bowl. -39 F, -69 F with wind chill. And guess who made the amazing play and won it in the ice cold? Bart Starr. Even if you have a better team or play better, you're only a winner if you win. So I think Bart is better. I'll be cheering when Brett passes 300 interceptions this season.

Conversation #6

http://www.iras.ucalgary.ca/~volk/sylvia/OldEnglish.htm is the page to translate the judge's speach to old english. All words in italics can be translated.

Brett Favre took on many tough opponents such as the terrifying Rex Grossman. But now he must take on the olde english of - THE JUDGE

Judge: Doth you really like the Bears?

Favre: Yes. I don't like Green Bay.

Judge: Bears you think rule? Doth you give more and more years to Aaron Rodgers to wait?

Favre: Yes

Judge: Then your an Alchochoden.

Favre: An Alchochawhat?

Judge: That question was not avenauntliche asked. You should have asked- What does the word alchochoden mean?

Favre: Oh. I bet that even though you are smarter than me, you can't throw a spiral better!

Judge: Maybe I Cannot. Who cares. Case closed - Brett - RETIRE!

Wacky 07- 08 School Year

2007/08 was a crazy school year for me. From the class presidential election, bullies, a newspaper dilemma, too an odd game called nucome, I have a lot of stories...

The main event that tied most things together started last year. A boy named, well, to not embarrass him, we'll call him Turnbow, became very good friends with me. We never played over the summer, but when this school year started, we became close. We went over to each others houses about 4 times a week. We played NFL Blitz 2000. We invented a sport called rocket baseball. We even did a slip and slide in early October. We had a blast together. Meanwhile, my best friend Sam and I were planning on making a school newspaper. Since our school was the Jaguars, we named it the Jaguar Journal. It was a secret thing. Turnbow was the only kid who knew Sam and I were doing it. But he promised that he would keep it a secret. OCTOBER 31, 2007 - The first issue was 1 page, 2 short (and kinda bad) articles, and a lot of confused and mad people. Why? Our class had a class newspaper - The D'Onofrio Discussion (The D.D). People thought the paper copied the D.D. It was Sam's idea. Nothing to do with the D.D. But this "Filthy Newspaper" was getting on peoples cases. Then - it all 'happened. "Who made this weird paper" asked Shane to Turnbow. "Jacob did" said Turnbow. "No I didn't'!" I said. I give Turnbow a look. Next, when we're outside, a kid named Austin asked Turnbow. "Jacob" says Turnbow. "Ha!" exclaims Austin. "I did not" I say. "Ok, you and your stupid friend Sam". I ride the bus home. When I get home, I call my friend Sam, who never liked Turnbow. I tell him I am no longer Turnbow's friend. The next day, we admit we did the paper (Purposely in front of the D.D editors). Every one was laughing. So on the bus I had a serious talk with Turnbow. He did not care. He hit me and made fun of me. So I "Un- Invited" him from my B-Day party. He was so mad. He started telling people I did that and torturing me at recess. So I told the teacher. She told Turnbow to shape up. He only got worse. There is an amazingly popular game at recess called nucome. Turnbow was a school star at it. It's basically volleyball except you catch and throw the ball and use a back stop. People can also get out. Somebody threw the ball and it hit the backstop. It hit it and bounced of. The person was out. I was in, so I ran to get the ball and throw it. When I was about to pick up the ball, Turnbow tackled me and took it. It was the last straw. I told the principal. Since we know her well and she knows I'm not a tattle tale, she took it hard on Turnbow. While she was doing something in the other room, it was Turnbow and I alone in the office. "My parents are going to kill me" he said with tears in his eyes. "Lets be friends again" "Sure..." I say. Then I watch the principal scold Turnbow like crazy. Mean while, the Jaguar Journal was still not popular. So the next week, Turnbow is nice to me. Then - he tackles me on the ice, He makes fun of how I look, and he calls me a moron. My friends are backing me up by "Telling Turnbow to be nice" (classic). Next day when I tell him to shape up he says "I don't care if you tell the principal, next time you say i'm mean i'm gonna tackle you on the ice". At the time, I ask Turnbow - "is it your goal to make my reccess miserable?". "Yes" he says. So my dad writes another long letter to the principal about Turnbow. He is called in to the office (this is happening in February). Then I am alone. The teacher and principal were in there. They say they are proud of me and that Turnbow lost recess and eating in the lunch room with friends for 5 days. I give a sigh of relief. 2 MONTHS LATER and Turnbow is being over the top nice to me. He forgives me now...that's good.

The second largest event just happened 3 weeks ago. We had a class presidential election. There were two parties. A&B. I won the primaries for A. It was me (my presidential name was Michael Cooten) against a show off girl who everyone loves. She had more fans (by the way her presidential name was Michelle Doyle). I lost all but three fans in the class because they think we should spend more than half the world's funds on animals. I called that "outrageous". Also people did not like me because the Jaguar Journal was gaining power on the D.D. So I did a move teachers called "Genius" and girls got devastated by it. Since I'm in a class with fourth and fifth graders, I was in third grade last year and all the Doyle people were fifth graders so they had an advantage. My sister, a sixth grader, was in the class last year with the fifth graders (then fourth graders). They had a student teacher, Ms. Rettelle. They loved her. They thought she was the most nice, funny, thoughtful person that loved each of them. She was our babysitter because my sister liked her. She was very nice. One day she came over during the election to babysit. I got her to write a letter endorsing Michael Cooten. It was awesome. I showed it to everyone. Doyle tackled me. It was like world war 3. Everybody was tackling each other and ripping opposite party signs. I said "If the popular candidate tackles the losing one, she is stupid and a loser. So vote COOTEN!" I got 2 to join my team. They still hate me for that. So I lost the election 23-3 in electoral votes, but adults know that we should not spend 55% of the worlds funds on animals (she tought that.). COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTEN!

The third large event started in October and it was more major then the second major event. My friend Sam and I started to make a 4Th & 5Th grade newspaper. It was unknown who made it until Turnbow gave out the secret. Each monthly paper was better until the 5Th was spectacular. But my teacher who favors the rival D.D editors got me in trouble for criticizing the paper for being a typo machine. In one of my articles, they wrote my article like this - "The atomik bomb blew up the planate to be continud."

Typo Machine? Oh, I'm just kidding! They're the typo capital of the world! But you can never say mean things about mean people because they find out and they will be mean to you!

Now it's summertime and I can watch the Brewers without being called a jerk for watching T.V. and that I should be making the JJ better. Geez, those stupid kids. In two days by the way, I'm going to OSRUI overnight camp. You can mail me with this address -

Major League Baseball Preview

I predict that the 2008 Detroit Tigers will be the 2007 Red Sox of baseball. They have a great team - They have Maglio Ordonez who hit 363. last year, Curtis Granderson who was the first since Willie Mays to hit 20 homers, steal 20 bases, hit 20 triples, and hit 20 doubles in a season. Ivan Rodriguez, who is one of the greatest defencive catchers ever, Justin Verlander, who is a great pitcher, and most importantly there ofseason pickups- Dontrelle Willis, and Miguel Cabrera, one of the best players in the majors. I think they will beat the Red Sox in the AL finals. The NL crown could go to the Rockies again. If not, the Brewers, the Padres, or the Dodgers. The Dodgers have great potential, and Torre as coach. But not pennant potential. The Padres probably will not win, but they are a descent team. THE BREWERS-

Braun, Fielder, Cameron, Weeks, Hart, Hall. Just a great hiting team. That is total hiting pennant material. But look again. How many good fielders? 1- Cameron. He is a Gold Glove player. Braun was horrific at 3rd base last year, and now left field?! Weeks was almost as bad. People think Hardy is great, but he is just Okay. Hart is good, but we just have only one GREAT fielder. Fielder is no Prince in the field. At least he can crack us up when he belly flops, witch he does because of a bad throw. Hall was very average. I bet he will be better back in the infield. Lets move on to the Mets. David Wright, as overated as he is, is good. Johan Santana could be the leagues best pitcher. Jose Reyes is great. SO -

AL West - Angels
AL East - Red Sox
AL Central - Tigers
AL Wild Card - Yankees



NL West - Rockies
NL East - Mets
NL Central - Brewers
NL Wild Card - Dodgers

AL - Tigers vs. Red Sox, Tigers 4-3
NL - Rockies vs. Mets, Rockies 4-3
WORLD SERIES - Tigers vs. Rockies, Tigers 4-0

MVP - Hanley Ramirez
Rookie of the year - Jacoby Ellsbury
Breakout player - Rickie Weeks

Conversation (Kind of.....) #5

Baseball comes to a rap

RAP THIS STORY

Barry: " My name is Barry Bonds, I hit baseballs to big ponds (the giants stadium has a lake behind it), people think that i'm a cheater, but i'm just a big eater

Francisco Cordero: My nickname might be coco but I hope the Reds arent loco, and then after being taded, Ned Yosts sign was announced belated.

John Coltrane advises you to watch baseball, but never rap these in public. Thank you.

Coltrane Writen

This is a REAL writen composition by John Coltrane. And it was on E-Bay! I wanted it, until I saw the $3000 part. But still, the Coltrane autograph is worth a lot. Did you know that Coltrane played with Thelonious Monk after he quit Miles band? After that, he made Blue Train and went back to Davis. Then he quit Miles band and made his own band.

Cubs

Guess who the Brewers are playing on opening day- Well it's obviously the Cubs because the post name is CUBS. And the Brewers are playing at Wrigley Park! If they lose, it will be terrible! But if Ned starts Sheets, gives no first day day-offs, and makes sure Braun knows what he's doing in LF they will win. GO BREWERS!
