I hereby issue a challenge... in accordance with the prophecy.

So, I was sitting in my Patent law class which is actually halfway interesting and we were discussing a case called Juicy Whip v. Orange Bang. The idea was that people had a patent on this juice dispenser that made it look like you were getting juice from a display on the counter when really you were getting it from a concentrate and water mixed on demand under the counter. The infringer tried to argue the patent was invalid because it was immoral. They, of course, lost. Anyway...

The challenge, if you dare, is this:

1) Take the name of the case, Juicy Whip v. Orange Bang and turn it into something. Make anything. Could be a story or a picture or a song or movie or outfit or recipe or whatever. Just turn it into something rad.

2) Take a photo or whatever of your creation and post in on the blog.

3) After the due date, we can all vote on which thing is raddest and then the winner can choose the next challenge.

4) The due date is... Tuesday 7 Oct. 2008. That's 2 weeks from today, so don't procrastinate.


So, I know everyone is extremely important and busy, (or self-important and lazy) but if you're looking for a creative outlet, here's something to do! Now don't be pansies and put this off, but have fun and do it.

Our mileage/Gas consumption/Where we stopped for Gas

This is an interesting list I'd like to share with all of you. Plus I'm tired of looking back at the Sydney Olympics.





That's a grand total of 2,935 miles. That's a long way. We got about 26.76 miles per gallon in a fully loaded car with two passengers, which isn't bad. We used more than 95 gallons of gas, but since I forgot to write down the fill up amount in Las Vegas and St. George, we'll never know exactly how much gas we used. I didn't keep track of how much we spent on gas because I didn't want to depress myself. Although I was glad that gas prices took a dive right before we left.

We're in our new apartment now, and will post pictures soon I hope. I've uploaded them from my camera to my external hard drive, which is the first step, so, yes.

Also if your ever in Mitchell, South Dakota there is an amazing place you need to stop and see. It's the World's Only Corn Palace. It is AMAZING. Be sure to check the web-cam to see what's going on there right now!
