Kevin has recently started his new blog Caught on the Bound. After turning IKWITA into a smashing success, Mr. Curran left the company in late 2004 to persue his own ventures, leaving IKWITA to die.Oh well.Good luck with that Kevin.

Yes, it's true.  Ikwita.com will cease to function sometime today.  Unless I renew it.  So if 17 people send me a dollar, it will stay.  iknowwhatimtalkingabout.blogspot.com will continue to work.  But it's not nearly as cool if don't have our own domain name right?

What's Been Going On At IKWITA When we're not pouring over newspapers in search of that masked menace, Spider-man, we're usually pouring coffee on our pants. But seriously, I'm not sure what the deal is here at the IKWITA offices. I think I might be the only one coming into work. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Brian or Simon around for a while. I should contact the authorities. That's

Well, anyways, I'm reading this book entitled "1421: The Year China Discovered America" by Gavin Menzies a deeply fascinating book that provides evidence for the title assertion.

Life is like a freeway chase in Los Angeles. You keep driving towards something, but for some reason, you see the same Exxon over and over. In other news, I recently overcame a bad sunburn. This thing was like the apocalypse on my skin. The most notable part of this ordeal was a strange "itchy phase" that lasted for about an hour. After I got home from work, I noticed a slight itch on my neck.

Ahhhh....it's nice to be home. Back to good old ik-wit-uh. Actually, I'm not home quite yet. And that angers me. But IKWITA is as close to home as I can get for now, so, here I am (yeah, a lot of sense THAT made). Here at UCLA I'm stuck with an interesting situation. We didn't start school this past year until September 26th. Now, compared to my Michiganese and Indianan counteparts, that's

Yeah, I don't know WHAT happened with this post... I think this day was made when my brother and I were watching the The Godfather (which we had just purchased for $14.99...an offer we couldn't refuse) and he asked me if our mom was still at the grocery store. I said "yeah, she is" and he immediately went to the phone to call her on her cell and see if she could pick up some Coca-Cola Classic

Huff and Puff and BEST. CLASS. EVER. So last month, I scheduled my classes for the next semester of college. I didn't have the best registration time, so I ended up getting a leftover college seminar I'm required to take called "People, Places, and Profits". It sounded cool enough.

I watch a lot of sports. But I don't watch sports because it's my job, although that would be an amazing job. This school year, I watched sports because there's nothing like: Driving 7 hours to Iowa, seeing an M loss, but still having a great time. Watching the Tigers win their first.....second.....third....and fourth games of the year for the first time since I've been old enough to know what

"His name was Puma! What was I supposed to do? NOT give a shout-out? Hey Erica!" In a surprising turn of events, I have learned that IKWITA actually has real, tangible FANS! I suppose this is the website equivalent of someone seeing you in the grocery store check-out line and shouting "DUDE! YOU'RE THAT GUY IN THE MOVIE I JUST SAW WHO GOT HIT BY THE CAR!"

I'd like to say something tonight that's been on my mind since winter break. What I'm talking about is a phenomenon we all witness and that I personally experience every December (although last year it was in late November). Gente del mundo, I'm talking about the blatant secularization of Chanukah. See, here's how it went down. A long-ass time ago, the Greeks were trying to kill and convert the

So we're in Lecture 2 of Physics, and the Professor, who's kinda crazy, is explaing electric fields, and how to draw electric field lines. So he's going off in his Middle eastern accent "W-W-W-W-We want to looook at the lines. B-b-b-b-but these lines are sort of abbbbbbbbbstract. What do they mean?" So then we get a great metaphor.

I'm astounded. Flabbergasted. Speechless. And very much impressed. Kevin has actually posted two in a row, without any post by me in the middle to urge him towards another post. This is a historical occurence! Not since September 15th has one person posted on IKWITA back to back. (Note: that was me.

Somebody's Pulling the Strings Around Here Well good day all! Contrary to what you may think, the lag in IKWITA posting is in no way indicative of the number of wacky exploits I've encountered in college. From this day on, I will be careful to document every such instance with the fine journalistic endeavor you have come to expect from IKWITA. Right now, I'm reading this book called "The

It's that time of year again. No, hunting season hasn't started quite yet. No, the Christmas decorations haven't started going up yet (although they are already available in stores) It's time for THE GAME. It's not "the game", or the "the big game" or "the game that matters a lot". It's THE GAME. Teams like UCLA, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Nebraska have fallen by the wayside. In fact

Yes. We were just fooling you. To see how many of you have become addicted to our page. Through complicated statistical probablilty studies, we have determined that 12.24% of our readers are clinically dependent on IKWITA, so I guess it's kinda sucked for you that it hasn't been new. In other stories, Arnold won. And Michigan plays Purdue today, so thats cool. Yeah, maybe we'll be back this

This is the part where I open the coffin and yell "AH HA!" YOU THOUGHT IKWITA WAS DEAD! Well, you thought wrong! We're right back at it. I could explain the long absence as a product of college and other leisure pursuits, but I'm not going to do that. Instead, I'm going to tell you that it was all a cheap publicity stunt.

College Football is weird. Week 1: Nothing of note. Week 2 : Notre Dame beats Washington State. Week 3: Mchigan crushes Notre Dame Week 4: Oregon takes down Michigan. Week 5: Washington State destroys Oregon. Hmm, that sounds like a circle to me. Weird.

Or maybe I've spent a lot of time preparing to perform live in front of 111,726 people at Michigan Stadium. Because yeah, that was awwwwesome. And 38-0! Who would've guessed!

From NDiana No, I didn't die....I just went to college! I am now firmly settled in here at Notre Dame and apologize for the lack of updates. Seeing as how the schedule is somewhat busy this week, I'll do my best to throw some amusing things on here regularly. That's bout it.....

All Blogs Go To Heaven This will be my last post before heading off to college! So naturally, it has to include a story about a brush with death. Two days ago, when I was sitting at my computer and looking up the way New York streets are named on www.howstuffworks.com (just for kicks), I noticed something crawl over the edge of my desk right where my lap was. When I looked at it closely, I saw

If You Can't Beat 'Em.....Half-Scramble Them! I've often been criticized for the way I like my eggs prepared. Hard-boiled, poached, over-easy, over-medium, scrambled, pickled, de-yolked, whipped, beaten, fried, or used as an effective model of a brain on drugs, eggs have always been the backbone of any decent breakfast. Whenever my mom makes eggs, she always asks me "You want them the 'way' you

Worst. Post. Ever. At this time, I would like to announce my intention to run for governor of California. Well, now that I got that bit out of the way, here's the rest of the post. Several days ago, on the 6th to be exact, I turned 19 years old. As my uncle so kindly reminded me in a birthday email, I would be legally drinking back in the "good ole' days".

The Governator This is cool. Arnold Schwarzenegger is running in the California governor recall election. I mean there's lots of weird people running: Larry Flynt (the Hustler magazine guy), Gary Coleman (the short actor guy), some female model who usually doesn't wear many clothes, a guy who's only campaign issue is the legalization of ferrets as pets, and Gallagher, (the watermelon smashing

California is crazy So a couple thousand miles away, here in Michigan, I've been following the Gov. Davis recall party over in CA. It's funny. Apparently he's trying to stall the election now. His posse thinks its unconstitutional for his name to not appear on the list of replacements....for him. So it's like "Question 1: Should we recall the Gov?" and you answer "Yeah, get rid of him!

I Really Need to Get A Life It may interest you to learn that President Warren G. Harding died on this date in 1923, 80 years ago. Feeling ill for the majority of a west coast train swing, Harding told his wife he was going to go take a nap in his hotel room in San Francisco. He died soon after. However, his death is shrouded in mystery. Still reeling from the effects of the disastrous Teapot

OK, believe it or not, I spent one hour writing a post to put here on IKWITA. However, upon reading it, I decided that it was the most inconsistent, incoherent, blatant piece of digital libel I had ever had the horrific disatisfaction of reading and promptly deleted the entire thing.

Home! Again! I had a great time on The Super Band Road Trip!. We went out to South Bend first to go to Woodwind and Brasswind, the really big music store, where I discovered that electric drum kits are really fun and the new electric keyboards sound really good. There was also this room that no one went in, full of really expensive recording equipment that was really cool. The awesome part

The First Whatever This Site Is Called Survey So the three of us were hanging out the other night. Simon and I had already learned that we pronounced "IKWITA" differently. It did come as a surprise, however, when Brian said "eye-kwit-tah". So, to clear up the issue once and for all, IKWITA is going to be taking a poll of how YOU, the readers, pronounce the name of this site! Here's how it will

OK, I can explain. See, I had this idea to make a spoof of Goodfellas with the three of us in it to shamelessly promote IKWITA. Of course, in the hands of someone as powerful as Webmaster Simon, it didn't end there. The California air has made Simon a little itchy with the Photoshop trigger finger and the result(s) can be seen proudly displayed below. Simon is now on what analyists call a "roll".

White Guys can play ball! In addition to starring in your favorite movies, the IKWITA guys can also regularly be found on the hard court, shooting hoops against the best in the NBA. In case you were wondering, Kevin is a Zen Master, Simon is 7' 1" tall and 315lbs, and the prosecutors will probably find Brian innocent of any charges.

Potayto, Potahto Well, it didn't take more than 20 minutes with Simon before we realized that we pronounce the acronym for this website....differently! I started throwing around "ICK-WIH-TAH", but he would say "ICK-WEE-TAH"!

CNN.com reports TODAY this headline in the Tech section "Google gag becomes big hit" Yeah. Cool. I found that on July 4th. That's 11 days ago. I bet they came on IKWITA and stole my news. Figures. Maybe we should look into a copyright. That'd be fun. And ever time you say "IKWITA" you'd have to add "IKWITA is a registered trademark of IKWITA, Inc. and I'm not using it to sell anything.

No, not the silly 3rd grade telephone game where people start with one word but it changes due to either auditory incompetence or the silly kid who thinks it's funny to change "Disneyworld" into "doodoo". This phone game is about figuring what words can be made out of someones phone number. I mean we all know how call it is to have a phone that spells BATMAN or GHOSTBUSTERS, but we aren't

"For Those of You Just Joining Us Here On Channel 4, Los Angeles..." The day before yester, I had the opportunity to witness a timeless Southern California tradition--a POLICE CHASE! Now, everyone else in the country is usually asking, "What is with those people in LA? They always have a police chase...ain't nobody never heard of manners before?!" (as they brandish a shotgun).

I needed to reaffirm my band dork status. I think it has been done. Last night, I was able to access the members-only section of the Michigan Marching Band website (after my orientation, they gave me access) They have sheet music for me. Like "Temptation", "Hawaiian War Chant", "Blues Brothers", "M Fanfare", and of course, the greatest fight song in the history of college sports, "The Victors"

Kevin, that exact same thing happened to me. I had my first cavity about 2 months ago, but seriously I remember the guy talking about the "pits", and making a bunch of lame puns about it. Ooh those dentists. But there's this really hot dental assistant who started working there, so it's worth the pain to see Nikki. ooooooh nikki i love when you play around in my mouth. hot dentists are extra sexy

Kevin Gets Filled In I went to the dentist a week ago on Monday. It was the usual pain and discomfort, and, towards the end of my little plaque purging session, the dentist came to look at my now gleaming teeth. After the usual shoulder-punching and "Where you going to college?", he started to poke my teeth as if he were interrogating or torturing them into telling him if I had any problems. "

Props to Simon. Personally, I really don't care what I got on my APs. The way I see it, AP Exams are just another way to put geniuses who get all 5's in the spotlight and cast a shadow onto those of us who will, indeed, pass every test (3 or higher), but not achieve the 5.0 average (or 4.875, int case of Mr. Roberts). For example, myself. Here are my scores thus far: Bio: 3, Euro: 3, Stats: 4, US

Being the nerd that I am, I just called AP to get my scores, as they've been available for 55minutes now. Why call? Well, my orientation at Michigan is next week, so I wanted to be certain on the scores so I can get the right credits and classes for the fall. $15 for an automated voice to read me 4 numbers, sounds like a rip off to me. But, rest assured, 5's across the board. So i'll sleep

Dear readers, for as long as I can remember, at every formal or semi-formal event, I, along with every other manifestation of the XY genotype, has had to wear a necktie. Now, you ladies out there might be saying: "Shut the hell up! You don't have tampons up the wazoo (literally), bobby pins poking your scalp, or stiletto heels." Well, that may be all well and true, but the fact still remains -

OK, so my brother invited a whole bunch of his friends over today to work on a video they're going to film. It's called "Back to Bum Country: Bum Country 2" and it's the sequel to their award-winning 8th grade production "Bum Country". This is an amazing movie. Kids vanish, get chased through the woods, and all of that good stuff (sounds kind of like most summer camps). Anyways, these guys

We kinda made up this game tonight at the final graduation party of 2003 for me, where it was like ultimate frisbee, kinda, with a volleyball, in the pool.

Sometimes coincidence just has to be cast aside. I was goofing around this afternoon and my phone suddenly made its familiar obnoxious ring. It was someone from the Notre Dame financial aid office asking for my driver's license number because I had apparently neglected to fill it out on the registration form. "No problem!" I said. I got the license and gave them the number. Easy! So I go back

No posts yesterday, Blogger was down to install a new version on the servers. But rest assured, now we're back. I'll come up with something real good later, but for starters: Kevin, it's people like you who created the huge need for self-scan registers. If Borders (based in Ann Arbor, I've been to the original, btw) had self-scan, you wouldn't have to worry about such conflicting titles. And

So I'm at Borders, right, waltzing around the shelves like I owned the place, when I suddenly became aware of the sheer irony in my hands. ("Here we go again...." you say) After browsing the store for about an hour, I noticed that I held two particularly contrasting books in my arms. During the course of my shopping, I had somehow managed to pick up "Unexplained Phenomenon of the 20th Century"
