Back From Montana

I learn't 3 things in Montana

-Going 30km per hour over the speed limit (aka 94mph in a 75 zone) is a $40 fine which can be paid to the officer giving you the ticket
-The Lynx is a stupid animal that doesn't know how to get out of the way of a vehicle
-Purchase good jumper cables

On Strike

Experiencing Withdrawal is going on strike from all you stupid people! So don't expect any blog posts till after xmas, and don't expect any good blog posts till well after that.

Ziess doesn't know

Exams are done and I can once again focus my attention on my oh so important blog. A blog which is the lone blog fighting the constant fight against the idiots in society. Which Mat Ziessman is not one of, but he did slip up today. As he documents Experiencing Withdrawal day by day, he mistakenly assumed i was not making a post today, and we all know what happens when you assume. You make an ass out of you, and make me look fantastic. Thank you Mat Ziessman.

Quote of the day - Seinfeld

Steinbrenner: Nice to meet you.
George: Well, I wish I could say the same, but I must say, with all due respect, I find it very hard to see the logic behind some of the moves you have made with this fine organization. In the past twenty years, you have caused myself, and the city of New York, a good deal of distress as we have watched you take our beloved Yankees and reduced them to a laughing stock, all for the glorification of your massive ego.
SteinbrennerHire this man!

Painful to Admit

This is painful to admit but i have actually put the blog on the back burner for the last 4 days, because i have been STUDYING. This is a personal record for me, 4 days in a row, studying for the same exam. I know its only linear algebra, and most of the material is pretty easy, but this class is actually important to what i want to do next year, so i decided to put some effort into my school work. I believe its the first time i have done this since a diorama i made in the second grad (it was about dinosaurs... B+ bitches!!!). The odd thing is, the studying may be for not, since i do not know if Vector Spaces and Subspaces will be on this exam, and if they are i am screwed. Everything else is easy as π.

Quote of the Day - Seinfeld - directed @ Hoooblers and Ziess specifically

Elaine "I could drop you like a bag of dirt"

This is what you get!

You get out what you put in, and we here at Experiencing Withdrawal know that. That is why we often had plenty of CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of The Hoooblers blog. Unfortunately there appears to be a complete lack of comments here on Experiencing Withdrawal, and because of that there have been very few blog posts in the last 2 weeks. So if you are currently Experiencing Withdrawal from Experiencing Withdrawal... you have no one to blame but yourself. To iterate again, you should all blame yourself for the sudden downturn in Experiencing Withdrawl


Quote of the Day - Arrested Development

"I've made a huge mistake"

i can imagine that some of you are experiencing withdrawal, so today i decided to make a weak ass blog post in honor of the Hooooblers blog.

The MOPO

Day 2

Now that i have won the blog war I can do two things. Thing the first is not post everyday, and thing the second is refer to my blog as The Blog. So, today at The Blog, we have nothing... enjoy the fucking quote.

Quote of the Day - Arrested Development

Tobias Funke: No, no, it's pronounced a-nal-ra-pist.
Buster: It wasn't really the pronunciation that bothered me.

Day 1

Experiencing Withdrawal will recognize yesterdays blog post.

Now then, since Adam is a little girly bitch who couldn't take my constructive criticism, I shall let the destructive criticism commence!

Well i guess Adam just couldn't take the heat, so he had to get out of the kitchen, and since i am not a little girly bitch nor do i have a vagina, i can handle the heat with the best of them. In fact, I invite everyone to criticize The Blog freely, and from your criticism i will strive to make The Blog better than the Hooooblers blog ever was! This will not be difficult, as i now realize the Hoooblers blog was nothing more than the mundane dribble of a man who cared so little that it took every fiber of his being to not stab himself in the eye whenever he made a post.

Quote of the Day - Old School

Mitch Martin: True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend...

Victory

We here at Experiencing Withdrawal have won, bottom line, we are winners. But we do not wish to see Hooooblers thoughts no longer expressed on the interweb. That is why we will work tirelessly in negotiations to make him a frequent guest writer here on Experiencing Withdrawal. Do not fear, we are on top of things.

Day 14

Hooooooooblers is talking about making a FINAL blog post, and we here at Experiencing Withdrawal are not ok with that. But we are aware of the boost this will give to our popularity, and isn't being popular what lifes all about. So go on Adam, whatever you do, I will find the positive.


Quote of the Day - The Simpsons

Chief Wiggum: This is Papa Bear. Put out an APB for a male suspect, driving a... car of some sort, heading in the direction of, uh, you know, that place that sells chili. Suspect is hatless. Repeat, hatless.

Also Day 13

Day 13

I now know what Adam goes through with his blog. Its not tough, i just have to rule Experiencing Withdrawal with an iron fist. And today, day 13 (are you fucking kidding me) i do that by fixing the poll. As a formerly great man once said "Apparently the last poll was too complex for you, so lets try this again".

Quote of the Day - The Simpsons

Homer: Marge? Since I'm not talking to Lisa, would you please ask her to pass me the syrup?
Marge: Dear, please pass your father the syrup, Lisa.
Lisa: Bart, tell Dad I will only pass the syrup if it won't be used on any meat product.
Bart: You dunkin' your sausages in that syrup homeboy?
Homer: Marge, tell Bart I just want to drink a nice glass of syrup like I do every morning.
Marge: Tell him yourself, you're ignoring Lisa, not Bart.
Homer: Bart, thank your mother for pointing that out.
Marge: Homer, you're not not-talking to me and secondly I heard what you said.
Homer: Lisa, tell your mother to get off my case.
Bart: Uhhh, dad, Lisa's the one you're not talking to.
Homer: Bart, go to your room.

Day 12

Lets be honest, we all know I ran out of post topics on Day 2. But I solider on, always hoping to please, because that's the man I am. So Adam can go and shove it up his pie hole, which will be available since it is no longer being used to consume skillets! Also, I am sure many of you will hate todays Quote of the Day, you can also shove it up your pie holes. But i know one of my readers will love it.

Quote of the Day - House

House:"Idiopathic, from the Latin meaning we're idiots cause we can't figure out what's causing it."

Day 11

I will be honest, i almost missed day 11. I actually kind of did, since it is 12:15am on day 12 here, but its only 10:15 in Portland baby! Besides, i live my life on pacific time anyways. Today (day 11) I woke up at 3:05 pm (central time) which i figure is really only 1:05. Besides, in the winter nothing good happens between the hours of 5am and 1pm (central time). I will admit though, when I got in my car 45 minutes after waking up, and i had to turn my headlights on because it was already dark out, that kind of sucked.

"The best way into a girl's bed is through her parents. Have sex with them, and you're in."

"If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate."

Day 10

Sigh... Both the MSN Conversation and the Blog Comment took place on November 19th, and you can see the times for yourself. I don't think anything else really needs to be said. So today, on this most holy of days, we welcome Laurie Permack to The Poop Deck for actions deemed detrimental to The Hoooblers Blog.

Quote of the Day - Futurama

Professor Farnsworth: You must take him (Dr. Zoidberg) to his ancient home world, which will soon erupt in an orgy of invertebrate sex.
Fry: Oh baby. I'm THERE.
Leela: Fry, do you even understand the word "invertebrate"?
Fry: Nope, but that's not the word I'm interested in.

Day 9

Adam claims he went to class today... he did not. Thats really all i got for today, and as for the quote, I am going in a slightly different direction. Let me know what you think of the quote.

Quote of the Day - Futurama

Soldier: This is the worst part. The calm before the battle.
Fry: And then the battle is not so bad?
Soldier: Oh, right. I forgot about the battle.

Day 8

Today we have arrived at the 8th day without a blog post by Hoooblers. And i will admit I am finding it easier and easier to get by. The way i see it, The Hooooblers Blog is like the American economy, in a downward spiral so bad it may never fully recover. Now, "Experiencing Withdrawal" on the other hand is like the 700 Billion dollar bailout. It really isn't helping the situation, but you don't know that, so it allows you to sleep easier at night. Your Welcome.


Quote of the Day- The Office

Creed:
"I'm not offended by homosexuality. In the 60's, I made love to many, many women. Often outdoors... in the mud and the rain. And it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing. "

The Poop Deck

Theodore Roosevelt once said; "It's not the critic who counts". Well, i am here today calling him a liar. But to do that, we need the full quote:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt

Well, as hooblers has already called me his "fiercest pundit", i feel it is safe to say i am the foremost critic of The Hooooooooblers Blog, and today we learn that i do count. These last two weeks i have waged a tireless war against The Hoooblers Blog and Fantastical Adventures in Shennanigans, and today I am the victor. I have worked tirelessly and today i can taste the fruits of my labor. The Hoooblers blog is dead, and although this is not the end i wanted, i am proud to declare myself king of the blog world. So today, Hooblers will become the first member of Experiencing Withdrawal's very own wall of shame, with a new and better name. I welcome Adam Hoooooooblers to become the first member of "THE POOP DECK".

Quote of the Day-

Dwight Schrute:
"I have been Michael's number two guy for about five years, and we make a great team. We're like one of those classic famous teams. He's like Mozart and I'm like Mozart's friend. No, I'm like Butch Cassidy and Michael is like Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart, you're gonna get a bullet in your head, courtesy of Butch Cassidy."

This is Getting Ridiculous

I am to emotionally distraught to possibly churn out a quality blog today. Adam has claimed to have entered into a mutual relationship with a women, and has flat out said this will negatively effect the blog. As of this time I am not able to process this information to the extent that i can adequately blog about it. I will try to make up for that with an amazing quote.

Quote of the Day - The Office

Dwight Schrute:
"In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, 'Ow, I hurt my leg. I can't run. A lion eats me and I'm dead.' Well, I'm not dead. I'm the lion, you're dead."

Day 5

The 5th day of Withdrawal will be classic Hoooblers Blogs. Today we have one from Wednesday, September 19th, 2007.

Volunteering

What's the deal with volunteering? The purpose of work is to be compensated fairly for the quality of work I am doing.

If I am volunteering, then I am being paid nothing, therefore my work is worthless.

If I am doing worthless work, why do you want me to help?

Case in point.
You have just tasted the rainbow.

Quote of the Day - Arrested Development
Michael Bluth: Do you know what they do to people who commit treason?
George Sr: First time.
Michael Bluth: I've never heard of a second.

Day 4

Today is Day 4 that we have been forced to go without a blog, and to say the least, i am more than a little disappointed. As we here at Experiencing Withdrawal do everything we can to please and entertain our faithful readership, I fear that the people over at The Hoooblers Institute are taking you guys/girls for granted. As Adam sees himself improving, I believe he feels he is quickly becoming to good for us, and The Hooooooooblers Blog. I assure you Adam, nothing and no one is to good for The Hooooblers Blog.

Quote Of The Day - Arrested Development

Tobias;
"It appears i prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run and now i have somewhat of a mess on my hands"

Day 3

I am hoping to be proved wrong, and that it actually wont be 3 days without a blog, since there is still ample time for Hooblers to post one today. But i think we all know thats not going to happen.

So today i will look into the real reason Hooooblers is not updating the blog. Adam is trying to improve himself. It has been happening since the start of the school year, but only recently has it escalated to what could be called a catastrophic level. It is a two prong improvement, both mental and physical.

First the mental, Adam, as many of you are aware, is now taking Latin. Lets be honest, this seems like it is a very difficult course with plently of homework, but Adam has persevered, and it appears that he will actually finish this 3 credit hour course, with the possibility that he will even do nexts semester 3 credit hours. The amount of time he is taking to study Latin is clearly taking away from what his friends hold most dear (the blog).

Second, the physical. This is probably the most dramatic switch of them all. Hooblers is now a skillet free man, and has been for quite some time. Whats next Adam? No smoking? No drinking? What are you going to throw at us next.

And one can see the changes (wether they are actually for the better is debatable). Yesterday I put my laptop(displaying Hoooblers Blog) in front of Adam, instead of posting he decided to listen to Ross McCormacks lecture. I have drawn the conclusion, that i will no longer be able to goad Adam into blogging. I figure my goading was responsible for about 43% of the blog posts over the last year, so i am preparing for a significant drop in blog posts.

Quote of the day- Arrested Development

Buster:
"These are my awards, Mother. From Army. The seal is for marksmanship and the gorilla is for sand racing."

Twofor Tuesday! Now on Thursdays!

Twofor Tuesday makes it blog debut today, Thursday. It will be a two part blog today. First Hooooblers, then Ziesmann.

As yours truly (no not adam) predicted, Hoooblers was full of excuses today for his lack of blog posting over the last 3 days. He has mentioned his lack on internet at home, as well as being to busy with his Latin homework. I find both of these unacceptable. I am trying to start a blog war, and Hooblers has dropped into a ball and now remains motionless on the ground. I am now experiencing the following symptoms;

• Headache
• Nausea
• Falling heart rate and blood pressure
• Fatigue, drowsiness, and insomnia
• Irritability
• Difficulty concentrating
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Increased hunger and caloric intake
• Increased desire for the taste of sweets

Ziess on the other hand, has publicly (if you can call his blog public) declared his support for what he is refering to as "The Blog". Make no mistake, this is a blow to Experiencing Withdrawal. It would be a bigger blow if anyone besides me actually read Ziess' blog, so perhaps its merely a flesh wound. But we will carry on with the dignity and respect you have come to expect from us, and as we continue we can only hope this blog war will not be our Waterloo.

Also, we will now have a quote of the day... in english... since we are in Canada... so if you don't speak english you might as well get the hell out (no latin).

The Office - Pam Beesly:

There is a master key and a spare key for the office. Dwight has them both. When I asked, "what if you die, Dwight? How will we get into the office?" He said, "if I'm dead, you guys have been dead for weeks."

Day 2 - A blog substitute

This is now 2 days without a blog post or any sort of response to the blog war challenge. I will except no excuses from Adam, all though i am sure he will be full of them.

Regardless, i have found a blog substitute in Sarpinos. Last year, when the Sarpinos across from the U of W closed, it was a huge shock, and great disappointment. Sarpinos closing was allmost as big a factor to my carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms as the lack of Hooooblers blog. But today i found a new Sarpinos, located on Kenaston just south of McGillvary. It was everything that i remembered, and seems to have neutralized any symptoms caused by the lack of Hoooblers blog or carbon monoxide.

Day 1

Yes it has been 1 day without a blog post, but it has also been 1 day without a response to my previous blog post. This is a most shocking development. Could it be that the Hooblers blog has cowardly hid, or perhaps he is preparing a brilliant tactical maneuver. Only time will tell, as this "blog war" plays out before are very eyes.

"The Blog"

I have a major issue with how hoooblers is now referring to his blog as "the blog". It shows great disrespect for other blogs, in particular, this one! And perhaps to a lesser degree this one --> http://ziess.blogspot.com/

Now, I know Adam is not typically the political correct type, but this crosses lines that nobody should ever approach. I look forward to discussing this more in the future.

P.S.
That's right, 3 posts in one day

Hooobler's Blog

As you all know, the Hoooblers blog was updated today. Its topic was actually this blog (apparently i have hit the big time), and let me say that with the help of my blog, the Hoooblers blog had its best blog post of the last 6 months.

Chalk This One Up In The Win Column

My vast readership is probably disapointed in the lack of blog updates over the last day. I know you are thinking that its actually 2 days... but it is only 1. I posted the last post at 12:29 am, then simply changed the timezone of the blog to have it count for the previous day;) So there was actually no blog post on the 7th, but one on the 8th.

But why does that mean this is a win. Simple, the point of this blog is to get Adam Hoooooooblers to blog more! When i first started my blog, i posted everyday, and it got hooblers posting. However, he quickly became immune to the pressure my blog was creating. I responded by not posting, creating no pressure, and causing Hoooblers pressure levels to plumet. Hoooooblers quickly realized this, and in response posted on his blog, realizing that is was the only way I would blog, and raise his pressure level up to a comfortable level.

Your Welcome Adam!!!!!

Sweet Nectar of Life

The blog was updated today, the experience was awesome, but the blog sucked.

Day 3

I am finding it more and more difficult to get by without the blog, partly because it means i have to try to put some effort into a post of my own (this does not give me a greater respect for what hoooblers does). Unlike hoooblers, i care about my readership (even if there isn't one). Hoooblers simply takes his immense natural gift, and flushes it down the toilet. First the blog which he cares so little about, and now the skillets. This is the sort of natural disaster where the army would usually get called in, but instead, goes unnoticed. This is why, I think the Hooobler Blog should begin to advertise in the Uniter.

Day 2

The craving for sweets has increased 10 fold today, and the faintness from day 1 remains. But i am hopeful for tomorrow that we may see another blog post. I doubt it though, despite the fact that Hoooblers will not be attending class tomorrow, he is so drained of quality material he is becoming raisin like.

Also of the utmost importance is the fact that Adam has given up Skillets. That is correct, the quest for 150 didn't even make it 2 months, and the total barely got over 10. This is a sad, sad day in the history of mankind. Never has so much of a natural gift gone to waste.

Day 1

My sources (logic) tell me that there will be no blog update today. That is moderately acceptable since there were two blog updates (one was actually good, the video) yesterday. Still, i seem to be getting kind of faint, but perhaps that is the carbon monoxide speaking.

Finally an Update

the Hooooooblers blog was updated today, symptoms seem to be receding

Day 11

We are currently in the late stages of day 11. That is to say 11 days without a blog update.
We are experiencing the following symptoms:

• Headache
• Falling heart rate and blood pressure
• Fatigue, drowsiness, and insomnia
• Irritability
• Difficulty concentrating
• Anxiety
• Increased hunger and caloric intake
• Increased desire for the taste of sweets

It appears it will be a long winter.
