Cray's Next Tattoo

For Ryan Creighton Pitts, the search for his next body art begins and ends right here at WitterOn. The Cray has agreed (with Lenwa's permission, of course) to have the tattoo with the most votes from our readers drawn on his body sometime next week. Oh yeah, feel free to continue to make fun of each other, even if you've already voted once. So here it goes:

Should Cray go with Body Art #1, letting everyone know he has absolutely no regrets about his previous tats?


Should Cray give The Intimidator his due and choose tat #2?


Or should Cray get a tattoo of an arrow pointing to his agina-vay like in Tattoo #3?



Its all up to you guys and gals. Also, feel free to provide some links of other stupid or ugly tattoos--we'll consider those write-in votes. If you have yet to see Cray's most recent tattoo, whoever manages this site has, oddly enough, tiled a picture of Cray's tattoo as the site's backdrop. Check it out, and as always, thanks for your help.

The State of Our Nation

Buy or Sell: More people will watch Fox's American Idol on Tuesday night than will watch all 3 networks' coverage of the State of the Union Address.





No contest, really.

Drudge reported that early indication from Nielson is, last night, more American households tuned into the Fox's 1 hour American Idol episode than the networks' 2 hour State of the Union address. Yes, all three networks, Combined!

Sure some of you people were undoubtably tuned into FoxNews, with their impeccable coverage of all things politico, but this is unbelievable.

It's glorified, frikkin' karoake, people. Our country is pissing off the rest of the world on a daily basis, and you can't even tune in to find out how we're doing it.

Ok, you got me. I didn't watch the address either, but Duke was playing Wake.



It was a damn good game.

p.s.--The young lass at the top tried out in San Fran. See more pics of American Idol auditioneers here.

WTF? Black History Month Edition



I remember asking myself in grade school, "What does it matter that George Washington Carver thought up some 300 uses for peanuts?"

Let me preface this post by noting I am currently taking a civil rights class in school, and have the utmost respect for the late Martin Luther King Jr., his message, and vision for humanity, as well as the continued movement itself. My friends classify me as a "liberal," among other things. With the Buckster, its almost become a term of endearment, in leiu of his earlier, detestable qualifications--n*****, lover of the same, and the like.

That having been said, admittedly, I have yet to grasp the true significance of George Washington Carver. Was it that he had very little funding, and the peanut was the only plantlife he had in abundance? Or simply that he was a black scientist? The Thew once rebuked the idea of Black History Month as a whole--"Can't we get this done in a week?"

I'm interested in your thoughts, not so much on the astounding work GWC did with so little, and what he means to thousands of disadvantaged students everywhere, but whether or not Black History Month ever was, or continues to be a worthwhile and meaningful endeavor for our great nation. Please, keep it relatively clean. Forum's open.

Keg+Super Bowl=Damn Good Time


"Thanks for bringing the Keg over, Gertig."

I have been asked to blog an invitation to the Chandler/Cray Super Bowl Party 2005. Rumor has it Anna Benson and the NC State Girls will be there--you should too. For the ladies, Tom Brady is the starting QB for the Pats. Need I say more?

This year's matchup is particularly intriguing. The Philadelphia Eagles haven't won a a Super Bowl since the week after I was born. New England is the NFL's latest version of a dynasty. Should be a dandy!

There will be food, fun, and fellowship. Oh yeah, we are getting a keg, so no bottles to be found. Come as early as you can (the official pregame starts @ 3:00), we want to float this thing.

Ode to Conduct (the remix)



It's no secret how much "Conduct Unbecoming" has added to the dudes over the past couple of years--from her indescretions in Oxford, to her "best behavior" at MC, and with many pageant victories sprinkled in between.

Yes, she cheats at video Trivial Pursuit, and lives too far away to make it to Cozumel on most Thurs. evenings, but she has her moments. Thank you for being you, Conduct--I hope you aren't catching any communicable diseases right now. Nursing sucks.

DISCLAIMER: We are pretty sure this photo was taken long before either party was dating anyone we deem even remotely important. (Sorry, Will and Megan).
