Goals

Since we lack direction, this should serve as something that we can look at to see what we should probably do, then completely ignore it in favor of drinking.

1. Talk to Mike Barwis.
2. Do more than just yell "Barwisssssssssssssss" when Mike Barwis appears
3. Interview Mike Barwis
4. Interview Mike Barwis in Quickie Burger
5. Confirm rumor of QB's potential? liquor/tavern license.

All of those I have assigned to myself. To Brian, I have:

6. Eat every single item in the Quickie Burger menu and blog about them individually.
7. Eat as many different items in the Quickie Burger menu within 24 hours and blog about it as a whole.

and finally, for us both

8. Interview Mike Barwis in Quickie Burger while Brian eats as many different items from Quickie Burger's menu in front of Barwis and see how long before Barwis snaps and makes Brian adhere to the Mike Barwis diet and exercise plan of death.

Edit: For those of you who don't know, a Michigan Class "C" liquor license allows the sale or service of liquor, wine, spirits, and beer. A Michigan tavern license allows only the sale of wine and beer, nothing more than 9-10% alcohol by volume. If QB has one, it's likely to be the tavern license.

LISTEN TO THE "THIS"

Holy Shit This Guy's Fucking Crazy

I saw Mike Barwis in the street the other day

I thought about taking a picture with him on my camera phone, but I was afraid that if I approached him he would make my ear asplode, MMA style. That, or he may have possibly made me run laps around Schembechler Hall. Therefore, I kept my distance.

However, through the wonders of the University of Michigan, I have the number to his office (which probably means his secretary). Perchance he might grant a person of dubious journalistic integrity an interview? Chances are no, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. (Would a Mike Barwis interview in Quickie Burger blow your mind?)

Also, I've known about this for awhile, but for legal reasons (Right to Privacy anybody?) was not allowed to "break" the news. Quintin Patilla, late of the University of Michigan football team and UM hospital gofer, has decided to transfer to GVSU. He blames his asthma, which means that this is player #2 that Barwis has basically kicked out of Michigan. I can kinda feel for the guy, but what business does Patilla have doing on a football field if his asthma is that severe? Asthma is not a sneaky disease like diabetes.Rather, asthma is a condition that you kinda figure out you have after you run a couple of wind sprints. Having asthma doesn't mean that you can't train with everybody else, it just means that you have to work a lot harder and have a handy supply of asthma medication around. But once again, what is this kid doing playing football? And to be quite honest, losing the #3 fullback (which we won't use anymore) /#3 tight end (and from the sound of it, we'll be phasing them out)/#8 linebacker really doesn't do anything. It does free up a scholarship that RichRod can then use on this new recruiting class.

This transfer looks like a partial health, and partial depth issue. Health, because obvious Barwis would have just strapped an inhaler to Patilla's back and had him running stairs, and depth because let's face it, there were a ton of players ahead of him. Fullback was always the position that failed linebackers and tight ends went to to provide "depth". Fullback, or MX, will probably be a combination of Minor/Grady/Moundros, and Patilla already failed the linebacker/TE test.

Anyways, chalk up player #2 to "Uncaring coaching staff" aka Mike Barwis made me cry.

Wizard Cat and a Barwis video will hopefully tide you over for the next month. It's from WVU, but he drops an impressive amount of F-bombs in 45 seconds.

Rumor has it...

Word on the street is that Quickie Burger has acquired a Liquor License. I have know idea what they plan on selling but a burger and a cold beer sounds pretty good to me.

Mike Barwis Makes his 1 Year Old Do Sit-ups

That is all.

And no I am not joking. One of the girls I know in the Athletic Department told me.

Good Work, Stonewall Dems

So, in case you don't read the Michigan Daily, they had a story about how Quickie Burger was offensive, blah blah blah. Being the intrepid journalists they are, they also had a follow up when a local campus do-gooder thought there might have been copyright infringement.

Now, for your own purposes, here are the two images for your comparison.This is the artist's original drawing.
And this is the Quickie Burger logo. Pretty similar right?

You would be absolutely correct if the original artist, Stephen Notley was contacted, and when interviewed said basicially "I don't care". In fact, he has made a post at his own website about his role in this situation.

So for the time being, Quickie Burgers infamous logo still is proudly on the corner of State and Hill. After all your efforts, Stonewall Democrats, the logo is still there. In fact, pat yourselves on the back, I'm sure more people actually went to Quickie Burger to check out the logo and eat than actually ate there and were offended by your logo. As they say, any publicity is good publicity.

Back in Action

It appears that the internet thinks that this site is a spam blog, whatever that is. After a lengthy review process they realized that I am not a computer, programmed to spam all that view it. I guessed I passed the Turing test. Back to the MEAT!
