ANYTHING FOR A REVIVAL
So here is the deal; we have got to keep this place alive. That means CC vs CC colony games, TA games, SUPCOM tournaments, Starcraft 2 tournaments, Call of duty, required posting, and anything else to keep this going. Got it? feel free to post any ideas of your own.

Publicity Stunt
Lets face it. We do stupid stuff. Not just normal, plain-old, store-brand stupid. Im talking *facepalm*, "FAIL!", "Did you just seriously...?" stupid. They say change is the spice of life? I really think it could be stupidity :D
Its just like a 6th sense to us, as humans. Towns name themselves Google. Politicians worry about tipping islands with troop movements. Paul makes smores with "graham crappers". Parents fake sending their kid up in an experimental weather balloon. A kid brings a rock from his fish tank to be carbon-dated, and the scientists claim its over several million years old. Jacob locks himself out of class, and gets back in only in time to realise he needs to wash his hands. Brandon chugs Coke mixed with Tabasco.
That's off the top of my head... feel free to add. But the point Im dancing around here is this- stupid things usually get noticed. That's right, guess what I'm about to stoop to?
*dramatic pause*
Yeah, something stupid, of course <.< Enter the publicity stunt~
Im thinking of posting a link to Unofficial from CCSF, Buzz, and Facebook... Sooo if you're seeing this place for the first time and are wondering who the heck this annoying kid is who cant get to the point and uses emoticons in blog posts then... it probably means I decided yes. So to all you people who *have* been hanging around this blog, please (I would say that in several languages just to prove my point, if I knew how :0) let me know if I should open it up like that, any different ideas you might have, etc. The problem is, Im totally talking to myself right now, since all the people who used to come to Unofficial don't any more...
See, maybe I should give a little background, to anyone who actually does find this place and actually did read this far: The Unofficial CC Blog is pretty much just an informal place me and Ryan cooked up back in September to share stories, brainstorm, laugh at our (bizzare) CC family, etc ;) Im no pro-blogger, nor is RB. But, we try to stay active and give you some CC stories of our own, just kind of a slice of life (erm, grade?). Problem was, I temporarily became a love-sick hermit and totally fell down on the job. I didnt check up often, and slowly, people kinda gave up on Unofficial. Now Im back, and Im hoping to make it up. So that's where you people come in (new or old, if you've ever chanted "Good morrrning, Mrs. Burns", you're in ;) ). If you do check in, and plan to ever drop by again (you know, in the off chance RB and I didnt totally scare you off). Read some old stories from last semester, and guve your honest opinion up here. But the main focus of this blog is this: so long as you can write in intelligible English, ask RB or I, and don't totally bash any teachers or classes, YOU are Unofficial's next writer. You got something to say? Ask? Talk about? Drop some not-so-subtle hints and you can post any time. Remember- the more people we have posting here BESIDES me... the less weird this place gets. ;)
Okay, so... pretty much:
1. If you're new or old, and have got any interest in this place, leave a comment here- you might have to make a google account... only takes a minute though... NO STRINGS ATTACHED, I SWEAR <.< >.>
2. If you're old, give me some "Amen!"s or "Heck No!"s... I don't want to have to be stupid if everyone prefers me mild mannered, polite, and meek ;)
3. If you're new and have any interest... cruise around and read some old stuff. Tell us what ya think.

Here's to You, Omnibus :D
Mkay, well, I've kinda been uncertain on what to post these days, BUT. I do believe I've got something. Yeah, that's right- a toast to the L2 Omnibus class, and the ever-benevolent Mrs. Anderson. Maybe I should explain?
Don't answer that, I need this to be a post. So there. ;)
Okay, so first, some examples...
1) We were discussing how the media usually portrays men and women. Everyone had something to say about how guys were portrayed- immoral heroes, invincible killers, total incompetents, feminized, etc... So, the "Guy" side of the board was filling up pretty fast. Obviously Mrs. Anderson noticed this, because she took a bit of a double take at the lopsided chart, then asked if anyone had a characteristic of women portrayed in the media. So Mike (who hasn't said much yet) decides he's tired of dancing around what we're all thinking, and calmly states: "Hot!" Yeah, we pretty much fell apart after that... ^-^;;
2. Week before that, we had an in-class debate about whether or not "good magic" exists. So, go figure, RB and I end up being the two presenting the opposing positions. We're on a pretty even playing feild, until Ryan completely starts agreeing with me on everything. He was just an "AMEN" and tablesmack short of being my congregation. ^^
3. Recently did an in-class reinactment of Macbeth... complete with a totaly drunken, Scottish PH as the Porter (swinging around his empty bottle of Snapple!). Of course, that wasn't all... Jacob was given the part of Malcolm, so he strolls into class wearing a camo-snuggie and a paper Burger King crown- with "prince" written over king. And our witch scene was so intense, Mike fell out of his chair! (Maybe he was just supplying the thunder in the background? Hmm...)
4. And just last Monday, we got to sit through a short story written by Hannah, about our class being dispatched by Mrs. Burns to Springfeild (to retrieve 1 million dollars, a pass for no homework, and the Holy Grail of course), being factionalized into two vans, Carter doing some serious acrobatics, Jacob weilding a nuclear arsenal from the back of his Longboard, Maddi driving a van into a ditch, Rebecca slapping people in the face, and Andrew hijacking an unpronouncable high-end racecar. Life is good.
So yeah... that's all I got for now... but. Hopefully this will spark an Unofficial revival! So long as we can get PH to post an old memory from last year, Andrew (Rot) to provide some R1ish stories, and Rebecca to add to all the L2 stuff... I'm sure RB will be happy to provide the tablesmacks and AMENS. ;)
