Power Rankings
This is my inaugural power ranking entry. I have been thinking of doing this for quite some time because of the basketball season. I really have no clue how they rate teams and why some rise in the rankings despite losing and some go lower despite winning games. These are just going to be random and if anyone is offended it's just a fricking imaginary ranking system. I have no clue what the points mean, just like the DOW Jones or the NASDAQ or Whose Line is it Anyway
#25. Uwe Boll 346pts
Uwe is currently working on a film about a prisoner of war camp located in Iowa and how the Germans inspired the Iowans. It actually sounds interesting and isn't about a video game. It got me thinking of the stories my grandfather told of the Nazi POW camp in my hometown. The Germans had to work in a brewery.#24. Hillary Clinton 350pts
She kissed Barack Obama this evening. If you told me that I would see her kiss Barack Obama after their bitter battles, I would have slapped you upside the head.#23. Xanga Audio 351pts
The audio section of this blog has dropped some spots due to shoddy performance. Tonight, it got back to its winning ways and let me upload some songs such as:
#22. W. 375pts
Interesting movie. I probably would recommend it for both the right wingers and the left wingers. I really didn't think it portrayed Bush negatively. Also, have to hand it to Oliver Stone for not going off the deep-end and including any conspiracy theories.#21. Digital Cable 380 pts
Screw you analog tv!#20. Family Guy 382pts
People don't like this show. I do. Get the fuck off my back. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty...
#19. The Watchmen 390pts
It's low because I am still iffy and haven't heard good news about the ending. It may have a drastically different ending than the book. Poop on that noise.#18. Duke Blue Devils 395pts
Inserting freshman Elliot Williams into the starting lineup has put Duke back on track to be a Final Four contender.#17. Vodka 402pts
Be it cheap or uber-expensive, vodka remains the silent assassin.#16. Teddy bears 403pts
I have a teddy bear my grandfather gave me a week before he died when I was 3, what of it? Wanna fight?#15 Church League Softball Fistfights 407pts
Getting washed in blood on a Tuesday night, what would Jesus do, well he wouldn't do that, hit the preacher in the head with a softball bat.#14. Paul McCartney is Dead Hoax 409pts
Still going strong all these years later.#13. Maury Povich 415pts
He continues to give us great television in this time of crisis.#11-12 tie. Cheech and Chong 420pts/Marijuana 420pts
Those guys have given us the best marijuana related humor. Marijuana continues to be labeled a gateway drug by the squares. Oh and my last doctor visit, he joked that if I was in California, my symptoms may get me a prescription for the medical variety.#10. Facebook 427pts
That social network continues to baffle experts. How can Jim Morrison have 25 different pages and be dead unless he isn't dead?#9. Memories 432pts
I have a lot of them, just ask me. I could tell you about the time I met Scottie Pippen or the time I hung out with a professional wrestler.#8. Nude Beaches 447pts
Nude beaches slipped to #8 this week because it is February. Some doubt that Nude Beaches deserves to be in the Power Rankings let alone in the top 10 because most of the time it is a sausage fest and those sausages at the party aren't looking for a bun but they are looking to be placed alongside another sausage. OK my euphemisms for gay sex are lacking.#7. Taco Bell 451pts
That new commercial where the guy meets the girl at a party and then goes through all the steps of a relationship in mere seconds is hilarious and makes me want to gorge myself. Taco Bell may gain spots if they bring back their after hours breakfast menu.#6. The Economy -3000pts
The economy slipped to #6 because of its poor performance against the world, investors, credit, and Purdue. The economy is sick and fucking tired of losing to fucking Purdue.#5. President Barack Obama 462pts
What list isn't this guy on?#4. Forever Young by Bob Dylan 478pts
This is my new mantra
#3. Mixed drinks 483pts
I have somewhat given up drinking but it hasn't stopped me from trying to come up with the next great cocktail and giving my experiments to my neighbors or friends#2. Marquette School of Theology 493pts
Could this devout Lutheran who has 95 theses and a bitch ain't one be enrolling in this fine Catholic institution? If the stimulus works, I just may but Martin Luther would continue to be my homeboy because I am still miffed that salvation does not exist outside of the Catholic Church.#1. My Xanga Friends 500pts
You made my birthday rememberable and remarkable. Thank you for all the well wishes and for putting up with my pointless nonsense. Has it seriously been 1345 days since I have joined?Thank you for reading my random crap.

I like Family Guy too. I pretty much watch it every day lol.
And Cheech and Chong are the shit.
- Thank you for reading my random crap.
Well thank you for writing that crap!
Well, I enjoyed the music!
And, I am a Kentuckian, therefore, I HATE Duke.
Would it be inappropriate/awkward for me to say that I love you right now? Ah, fuck it. I LOVE YOU. Now, hug your monitor. =D #18 #18 #18 *dances around stupidly*
this is probably one of the most aggressive i have ever seen of your posts
freaking awesome! this post rocks.
@CanadianConspiracy -
The only bad thing about Family Guy is that I will turn it on one of my local channels and then maybe watch on TBS and then Adult Swim. Well this weekend I saw one episode 4 times. It was the one where Peter became a bully...my favorite bit...NERD! RAN-DY!
Cheech and Chong...man those guys, when I was in grade school I remember sneaking out of bed to watch a Cheech and Chong marathon on Cinemax. That shaped my humor as well as my choice of poison for years to come. Oh and I get a kick out of how they wrote Tommy Chong out of That 70s Show while he was in jail for selling drug paraphernalia on his website.
@kachino -
I left Carl Eller off the list because I felt for the guy. Can't the police just let drunk drivers alone?
@jediwa72 -
Thank you! The song in #23 was one of the unofficial school songs at my college. We didn't have official frats because we were a religious school but the guys studying to be pastors would throw parties and that song always had to be played. I think it was because our school was in Minnesota and we had to support a native son.
Oh yeah...Kentucky...I suppose Christian Laetner is on your most hated list. I was thinking of adding Louisville because I like Pitino but they are vying for the Big East title against Marquette which may be a conflict of interest for me.
@MrsMok -
OK, hugging monitor in 3...2...1...
I appreciate your accolades of love. The feeling is mutual. You will have to tell Coach K his squad was #18 in the Godfather of Green Bay's inaugural Power Rankings Poll.
Haha. Yes, indeed. I will never forget watching that game. Poor Laetner...forever hated by Kentuckians.
@choralone -
Well when it comes to ranking things and having a sports-like ranking system you have to be aggressive. Also I am having a flare up of an old football injury that I played on instead of getting it checked out because I wanted to make it to a state championship game, a game we lost 45-10 or something like that I forget. We lost to a team that's mascot was the Ledgers.
@jediwa72 -
I think I will always remember that game because of #9. Just go to a Culver's and that will take away the pain.
=] I love the message they have. It's so nostalgic.
Hi Meowmeowkimmaee! It's been 1783 (wow, that's a big number) days since you joined Xanga.
Don't mention Culver's at 1 a.m. when they're closed!
@Meowmeowkimmaee -
Yeah the nostalgia comes flooding to my mind however sometimes it seems sad that I have been around here that long. I also think about how I average a post every two days. Oh well...it's worth it.
@jediwa72 -
Oops...forgot the time difference.
When they are open for normal business hours I will have to refer to #9 and my memories of Culver's
Family Guy is definitely the only show I can successfully sit through and be entertained the entire time. It's pretty much the freaking bomb.
@Shy___Away -
Yeah, I have friends that hate it because they don't like that cut away humor. I remember watching it with a friend and it was the first time he had seen it. This was before it came back on the air. Well he ended up crying and pissing himself because of his laughter. The only time I have felt uncomfortable with that show is either the time when Peter got out of the car ala Britney Spears or when they got the case of ipecac to see who would get the last piece of pie.
@godfatherofgreenbay -
I was watching it once at my ex's house, and his mom walked in and made me turn it off. Haha, how embarrassing.
@Shy___Away -
Wow, that is pretty embarrassing. She must have thought you were some sort of heathen. I have watched that show with my dad.
@godfatherofgreenbay -
i had large periods of absence but now i'm faithful and i blog just about everyday. something about a blank weblog entry makes the words come so much easier than when i have a timed write in class. D:
Interesting rankings.
6. Is too funny!
And I knew it - Jim Morrison isn't dead! That's why I couldn't find his grave in Paris, although I spent hours at a graveyard. So it wasn't because I was at the wrong one!
Brilliant list! You know, one of these days, Paul will really pass, and no one is going to believe it. Our grandchildren will be telling their friends he's still alive and in a retirement home in England
@Meowmeowkimmaee -
Yeah I wish I had Xanga back when I was in a creative writing class. I also wish I saved all my writings from back then so I could share them now. Those were some strange days for me as if these days aren't strange enough.
@My_blog_for_2009 -
Thank you...sleep deprivation at its best.
@nattata -
With #6, I should have posted the link to my last "guest blogger". That might have clarified it a little better.
I always thought Morrison was buried in Paris but they cleaned up the gravesite and now have security around it. A friend of mine who is a huge Doors fan went a few years ago and he had his picture taken at the gravesite. Maybe Jim isn't really there. I have read some interesting things about the possibility that he did fake his own death and with Morrison's insanity you can never truly know.
@jacksoncroons -
It was so huge. I love all those rock conspiracies. There is this author that writes about that stuff. His name is R. Gary Patterson. This is the link to his book about the Paul is Dead hoax called The Walrus was Paul.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Well, we were really on the wrong one (the other famous graveyard there). When we realized it we went to the other one but it was already closed. But we saw several fans there, so we were outside the real place. lol
@godfatherofgreenbay -
I have the same problem with family guy. I tend to see the same episode like three days in a row.
And it is hilarious about Chong and that 70's show. I miss him
@CanadianConspiracy -
They were supposed to reunite and do stage shows like they used to do back in the 70s and 80s.
