Congratulations to last week’s IM Athlete of the Week, Casey Blue “Kiki Vandeweghe” James (2012). Like Vandeweghe before her, James has come to the rescue of a struggling, winless team. After taking up the reins of the wild stallion that is Saybrook IM Coed Innertube Waterpolo, Casey Blue has guided her team from the depths of winlessness to the slightly-shallower waters of near-winlessness. Indeed, the victory-by-forfeit over winless TD can be chalked up to James’ incredible skills in participation. Also like Vandeweghe, Casey has a hippie name. Is “Blue” a middle name, a first name or simply a twisted joke by her parents? Unfortunately, like Vandeweghe’s Nets, the answer to this conundrum is lost to time. more »

Dusky Corners of the Internet 6: Beard Edition
by imriederer / November 5th 2009 / No Comment
Hey all,
A Special Note:
In order to raise awareness of my facial hair, I’ve decided to grow out my beard for November. If you can’t notice this, don’t say anything. Beard growth will continue until it is deemed too disgusting and needs to be shut down. Today’s Dusky Corners is beard-themed, with a little extra fun in light of last weekends festivities.
- Before we move into the beards I know that the holiday is over, but it’s not too late to learn a few extra party game ideas: Party Time!
. - Careful gorging yourself on that Halloween candy. Otherwise, you’ll end up addicted to heroin. Or something like that. I tend to fudge the details. Mmmmmmm.
. - So first off, I thought I’d mention the real beard-growers. Men like Master Hudak who are growing moustaches to raise money for cancer research. Hats off to these gentlemen, and facial hair on. http://us.movember.com/
. - I know that everyone follows this stuff pretty religiously, but I thought I’d post the world beard championship website anyway. http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/
. - Ever play that game Wooly Willy? Probably not. Maybe your parents did though. Here’s an incredibly low quality flash version of it. Give him a nice beard. http://www.kongregate.com/games/rock3r4lyfe/wooly-willy-flash-edition
. - Here’s a much more terrifying version of the previous game. http://freelancerfox.deviantart.com/art/Wooly-Willy-Digital-17302245
. - It wouldn’t be internet-related if there weren’t a lolcat. http://www.iblog.co.za/wp-content/blogs.dir/4740/uploads//funny-pictures-little-kitten-is-big-beard.jpg
. - Think you’re up to the challenge of representing America’s beards? http://beardteamusa.org/
