Parody

Look at me, I’m white and nerdy
I wanna roll with
The gangstas
But so far they all think I’m too white and nerdy

"First in my class here at MIT
Got skills, I’m a champion at D&D
MC Escher--that’s my favorite MC
Keep your 40, I’ll just have an Earl Grey tea.
My rims never spin, to the contrary
You’ll find that they’re quite stationary.
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawking’s in my library.
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin’ for my top eight spaces.
Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces."
(Weird Al Yankovic, "White and Nerdy"--parody of "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire)

Farce

After losing his job and his girlfriend on the same day, Larry decides to join his neighbor, Bill (Bill Engvall), and his buddy, Everett (DJ Qualls), for a weekend of drinking and target practice. But they are mistaken for Army Reservists by the Sergeant Kilgrove (Keith David) and sent to Fallujah, Iraq – and mistakenly ejected in a Humvee somewhere over Mexico. Convinced they’re actually in the Middle East, they save a rural village from bandits and become heroes. But Carlos Santana (Danny Trejo) wants revenge on the heroes.

Anecdote

In 1831, Edgar Allan Poe was allegedly expelled from West Point for neglecting the dress code during public parade. It is said that he mocked the dress instructions by appearing naked, with a rifle over his shoulder, wearing a white belt and gloves. He was released from the academy for "gross neglect of duty".]

First Post

My name is Cameron, and this is my blog for Humor and Satire. My assignment is to write something interesting about myself. I am on the AHS drumline, and I am a huge Ohio State Football fan. My favorite player is Terrelle Pryor, and I am already waiting for kickoff of next season. I also love to play Call Of Duty on my Xbox 360, as well as playing paintball.
