Bongo Wins Election again....
Well guys, the Gabonese election results are in and Bongo has apparently won with 79.2% of the apparently 107% or so of the votes counted. Wow, what great voter turnout! The "little guy" has done it again. Bongo now enters his 39th year in the Presidency. He has won election in 1967, 1973, 1979, 1980, 1986, 1993, and 1998. Join me in congratulating him on being the second longest termed President in the world (second only to Fidel Castro). Here here. Vive la paix!

12 days and counting...
Kiera Nightley (for J...lesbian list), Madonna's American accent back, Legolas, a toblerone bar
The Fam Goes to Mexico...Griswolds Style
Okay, so as I mentioned below, the family went to Rocky Point, Mexico for Thanksgiving. I just thought I would share some pictures with commentary.
Left is Julie bargaining on the beach at J.J's Cantina for a shirt that my dad just had to have. It was a Harley Davidson shirt that read on the back: "If you can read this, the bitch fell off." Oh dad. She got them down to $9.
Julie, Wendy, and Lori at the Crow's Nest at the Lighthouse. Pirates. Had to make this picture bigger so that we could all admire Wendy's pearly whites through the wheel.
The family during the ASU and UofgAy game. Um, what's going on with your head dad? Have another one!
The sisters (minus Shelly...don't worry Shelly, we poored one out for you) AFTER the ASU game.

ASU beats UofA
After UofA fans managed to paint ASU's golden "A" on A- Mountain UofA colors (red and blue), the Sun Devils got their payback with a 23-20 win over those miscreant Wildcats. The Brown Family (with ASU lineage tracing back to our great grandmother) watched the game in true Brown Family style: at Latitude 31 in Rocky Point, Mexico. The bar was divided between UofA and ASU fans, but in the end, after a few hours of beer drinking and name calling, ASU prevailed sending those UofA fans back to their dirty town. Yeh ASU! The Territorial Cup is ours!

An Aussie's First Kegstand
So apparently the college art known as the kegstand is an American ritual and doesn't extend past our borders. So on Friday night, with a keg full of Kiltlifter (great Four Peaks Brewery beer by the way), we hoisted up the Aussie from work. Poor Matt, lasted 15 seconds and then became quite dizzy. Why is it that we have developed this kegstand ritual? This reminds me of a time when me and fellow Peace Corps volunteer Penelope were waiting in the Libreville airport for a flight back to Franceville. Haut Ogouee...yeh! Anyway, we were in the drinking mood as it was New Year's and our previous flight had left early without notice (which would have insuated the freezing over of hell). Nonetheless, we managed to find the one draft beer tap in the whole country serving Namibian beer and thought we had just struck gold. After a beer or two and a little buzz, we secretly began plotting how we could get the 80-year-old or so mama sitting next to us (nervous as she had never flown before, dressed in her villagois pagne) hoisted up into a kegstand. We thought it was so great and had the comic relief laugh we needed. But this brings us back to the question of "why do we feel the need to do a kegstand if there is a keg nearby?"

Salute Your Shorts!
Okay, so this occurred a while ago, but in sifting through pics I found this gem and couldn't let it go unnoticed. Anybody out there misfortunate enough to have seen that Nickelodeon show "Salute Your Shorts?" You know, "Camp Anawana, we hold you in our hearts..." Well, while partying it up in Rocky Point, Mexico a few months ago, me and some friends ran into the one and only Donkey Lips. Or perhaps you may know him best from the oscar worthy "Dude Where's My Car?" Anyway, had to share this celeb experience. Nice spill on your shirt DL.
New video shows renewed support for Backstreet Boys in China
Now this is just wonderful. Just when you and I were beginning to question the popularity of the Backstreet Boys in China, came along these two college fellows and gave us renewed hope. Thank you Chinese college guys! (Um, and isn't the guy in the background the least bit concerned?)
