Palm Tree Incident

The one where I took a "big bus tour" in Miami and got hit in the head by a palm tree..multiple times...





No family vacation is complete without at least one day of being hardcore tourists.  My mom  picked the Miami Big Bus Tour and dragged me off the beach to join the rest of the camera-around-the-neck tourists on this excursion.  It was pretty neat seeing some of the celebrity vacation homes and secret getaways but this tour wasn't exactly pain-free.  I decided this was an appropriate time to speak up.




What a gem.  I'm waiting on my vouchers but I'll be sure to upload them once I receive them.  Below you can find a pic I snapped on my phone of my mom about to be hit in the face with a palm tree.  Since I didn't want to lose my phone, the picture was taken from a lower angle and doesn't do justice on exactly how close these palm trees actually were.

Ride the Rail Ridicule

The one where my friend competed in a "ride the rail" competition to finish a list of 30 beers and the bar lost her card so she had to start over.... For those of you who aren't familiar with Ride the Rail, it's a dirty marketing scheme at one of our campus bars, Legends.  You are provided with an empty card that has twelve different types of beer and three mixed beers with three columns for each beer.  Once completing the card, you are awarded with a tshirt and you get your name on the wall of the bar.  As always, my roommates and I got incredibly addicted to this and worked toward this goal on most Tuesdays and even God's day of rest, Sundays.  We always had a good time, until something happened last week. I change my mind, I love them.  And dinner on the house!  To clarify, she did try two different times with two different bartenders to find her card so we weren't complaining for nothing.  Here it...

Alma Mater Mayhem

The one where I finally graduated college and my university removed the historical "graduation picture" statue.... For those of you who don't attend U of I, the Alma Mater was removed from campus this year for renovations and repairs.  As graduation approached, we were informed that she would not return in time which caused an uproar, as it's the iconic place to take your picture in a cap and gown.   Got my response!   The letter caught her attention (she CC'd the Dean of the College of Business and the Event Director of the Alumni Association).  We'll see what they plan for this alma mater event.

Kanga RoofPouch Rupture

The one where I was on my way home from spring break and lost my week's worth of clothes in the middle of the highway due to a faulty "Kanagaroof Pouch" on top of the car... In order to fit all of our luggage and seven bodies in a single car to PCB, my spring break crew used this nifty Kanga RoofPouch to maximize our storage capacity.  Little did we know how this roadtrip would end... The guys loading up our car, properly assembling our Kanga RoofPack, and Joey being Joey And the cleanup begins.. Stay tuned for the response
