Triangles, Circles and Squares

I have to admit I've never understood the care instruction symbols on clothing. For the most part, this isn't a major issue, as garments are also conveniently labeled in English. However, for a select few items no such instructions are provided, and I'm stuck interpreting a strange pattern of circles, squares and triangles, as well as the occasional iron. Anyway, today I was looking at my winter hat, which had an X thru a quadrangle of some sort, an iron with 110c written on it and a circle. So, lacking any idea what these meant (except of course the iron), I went to the web. Anyway, just wanted to pass along the following if any of you are curious. I had no idea so many symbols existed. Not sure what I would have done without the Textile Industry Affairs Group.

Brad...

What are the theological implications of Georgetown, a Catholic school, getting waxed by Oral Roberts, a school of nut-job evangelicals?

Prescription for your Cowbell Fever

To bring the previous topic to a close, here is the Christopher Walken SNL skit. You may need to download a plugin to view it (at least I did). We can thank the find from the fact that all the major search engines are starting to have video clip specific searches, I used Yahoo's to track this down.

On a somewhat related note, while studying for accounting last night, one of my classmates opined that our professor was like an Isreali Christopher Walken, and the description couldn't have been more apt.

"They're not that bad"

That was the message that Ken Jordan asked me to convey to you (well, to Bill and Alan, but is anyone else paying attention?) after the game last night.

Y'all saw the game, so I won't bother with detailed observations, except that the I-L-L, I-N-I cheer has to be among the lamest things ever.

Y. Lupu?

Y not?

Penn State

That was a nice little win. Penn State is terrible, of course, but I liked the way the team responded to PSU's little run in the second half.

Our offense is really fun to watch against a team that's less athletic than we are. Lots more motion than in the Temple game. I'm not sure why Penn State didn't switch to zone. Maybe their basketball coach is senile like JoePa.

This team could improve exponentially next year if we recruit one or two really good outside shooters. We were getting a ton of open looks, and missed a bunch of them. If we had made a reasonable percentage of them, we would have won by 20+.

Really, really like Green. He is tough on the boards and showed some decent offensive skills. I don't know if he is strong enough to be effective offensively in the Big East just yet, but he should have bright future. And he doesn't really have NBA size, so we should have him for four years.

Surprisingly large Penn State contingent on hand for the game. I realize they're a big state school, and they probably have a large alumni base in the greater dc area, but on the other hand, they really, really suck.

Sure Blog is at the top...

But what I want to know is, was "of Prague" in the 11th spot?

Speaking of Shiftless and Disreputable part deux

Anybody have a current email for Eddy? The only one I can seem to find is from his Georgetown days, and is getting bouced back.
