Good Flapjack Ministers and Rabii,

          This morning I woke up to a mouthful of breakfast, as I finally sampled Burger King's  Meat-nourmous Omelet Breakfast Sandwich.  Not to be confused with the Enormous Omelet Sandwich (which features two slices of melted American Cheese, two fluffy eggs, three crispy strips of bacon, and a sizzling sausage patty, piled high on a toasted bun), the Meat-normous adds thinly sliced ham to the mix, completing the pork tri vecta.  Aptly complimented by a side of hot, golden hash brown nuggets, a dipping tub of ranch, and a decent cup o' BK Joe, the Meat-normous proved to be the ideal fuel for a young corporate go-getter such as myself.  With that said, the Meat-normous is not for everyone.  Weighing in at 275 grams (50 of which are fat), the Meat-normous is only a couple of grams lighter than the Whopper, so I could see where 'slighter men' might think of the sandwich as "too heavy" or "too greasy" or "too meaty" for breakfast.  Then again, if you're the kind of Man who chases his Country Fried Steak and Budweiser with an extra side of gravy and a cigarette - then this is the Breakfast Sandwich for You.  Good flapjack, and God bless.

                                                               The Minister of Coordination and Rousing

Its been awhile since someone has posted here so I thought I'd fill the void with some humor.  Once again, Baez drunk, but this time drawn on with the computer. Link.

As summer retards into fall, and baseball looms over FOX's October TV Scheduling, four new episodes of the OC will reopen America's window into the real life of OC high schoolers and the drama that role entails.  And now I am without a home to watch and enjoy this wonderful show so  I will have to find a bar that airs it on Thursdays.   But in case you spent too many nights playing indoor ass grab instead of drinking beer and sucking titties, here is what you missed from the end of last season:

Marissa shot Trey as he was kicking the shit out of Ryan on the floor of Marissa's ex-lesbian lover's, Alex, apartment.  All of this drama was caused by Trey's coke-fueled advances towards Marissa who so would not hook-up with jail-bait. 

Seth and Summer have reunited once again, and will be the only steady continuation from last season.  Kirsten was shipped off to rehab, leaving Sandy a mansion, and a 7 series BMW to freely pimp out the Newpsies.

Caleb Nichol, now departed, has opened the window for the prowling bachelor Jimmy Cooper to return and take advantage of life on steady ground.  As his parenting skills will be called into question, Jimmy will have to handle the sex kitten Julie Cooper-Nichol, and his gun toting daughter.  Least he doesn't have to deal with that other one no one speaks of.

Now that you are caught up with last season, let's take a look at the new characters moving into Newport:

The first new character you will definitely notice is Jeri Ryan as Charlotte Morgan, Kirsten's new rehab buddy.  We can only hope that some Kirsten goes through a similar Marissa-like sexual exploration phase.

A new season of the OC wouldn't be the same without a new dean at Harbor, Eric Mabius will take over as Dean Hess.  We can only hope that he brings the intensity and range of his character from Resident Evil.

With Marissa getting kicked out of Harbor, the food chain has an opening, and although I would have thought that Marissa had fallen a few rungs in the last year, her top spot will be filled with Taylor Townsend played by Autumn Reeser.  One can only hope that Summer's cat-like claws rip this girl's clothes to shreds.

Look for a possible Demi Moore appearance as the season gets over the MLB dominated October hump and let the drinking games resume.

Check out the hot new line starring Baez.

Update: If you want to show your support for Katrina Victims head on over to Threadless.com, the t-shirt site I've been talking about, to get a $10 tee that's cool looking and they will donate $20 to the relief aid.

My career as a student/adventurer in Santa Barbara is about to come to an end.  I will soon leave this place that has given me so much.  The good times, the women... oohhh the women...  The women that have been so lucky (or unlucky) to cross my path.  And there have been so many.   So... many... women... And the acronyms.  UCSB, SBCC, I.V., all the acronyms in my life will now only exist in memory.  All but one.  There is one that will live forever, one that will remain bright and shining while the others become nothing more than a distant and fading reminiscence, thought of on a warm Sunday afternoon while laying in the hammock in my backyard watching my kids chase the dog around the manicured lawn.  It is a beacon of hope, a bright  light of glory that will never cease to illuminate the great lives of great men, men together, with each other.  This acronym will be my legacy, and it is my duty to defend this acronym not only with my life, but with my soul.  I will go to hell for this acronym.  Three letters.  With periods in between them.  I hold these letters closer to my heart than I will hold any woman.  None of the many, many women I have had relations with will ever come close to this.  Because we are men, men together and with each other.  These three letters, these letters that bring men closer to each other than any woman could ever be, emotionally, spiritually, physically, these letters are:  I.F.S.

And as I leave this town, that is all I will take with me.  As I drive my 1995 Ford Explorer off into the sunset, first on a 'round the world surf trip of a lifetime that Baez isn't coming on because he has to take math classes, then to a life of fame and fortune in Hollywood, I will only be thinking of my return, next month.  My return to glory.

I have started a group page for IFS at Fundable.org.  The site allows us to electronically pool our money for donations and purchases since we live all over the globe.  I started the first group action, a fund raiser for Katrina Victims.  I thought this could be our first act of philanthropy as a globally minded flapjack society.  I have personally donated my $10 already, but I set the target at $110 for the 11 current members.  I will be contacting the Minister of Philanthropy about the project so that we can expedite this campaign.  I look forward to the success of our first charitable act.  Let me know if anyone needs any help figuring out the technical aspects of the electronic payment system because myself or the Minister of Philanthropy can take your money and donate it to the sites goal.

IFS Katrina Fund Raiser

This was a long dog dangling weekend, and will most likely take over the rest of my week as I find myself looking through nineteenth century drawings of pirates.

The striking resemblance to some of our meetings and after meeting excursions is remarkable though.  (This picture reminds me of a member not to be named.)

We will be moving house tomorrow.  Our new website address is: wedoiteverymonth.com
So you can type that in tomorrow and it should be working.  Have a good weekend if I'm not going to see you. Peace.

To the Secret Society formally recognized as I.F.S.,

          To the Minister of Media and Technology - the site looks great.  I'll be in town this weekend, so we can meet up for the pictures.  Minister of MOM, that was a nice post, and hopefully you can keep it up over in Indo, so we know what's going on.  I would also like to make it known that I am stongly opposed to a default MOM for the month of September.  No member should take home that trophy on a default, especially when that member received two votes in total (one of which was a sympathy vote).  I'm sure someone could take over your position while you're gone Minister of MOM, I'm thinking the Minister of Interior Design would be a good fit, seeing that he excells in arts and crafts and all that shit.  Anywas, I'll be posting shortly with possible times for the next meeting (hopefully we can fit in a September meeting before the Rabaii of Leisure leaves).  Good flapjack and God bless.

The looks and logos for the store is growing.  Ive made the first logo for the clothes so check it out.  You can always get to the store from the links on the right of the site.

Let's start accumulating a good list of IHOP's and any commentary that might be relevant.  I want to use Google Maps to make an IHOP location map for local IHOP's.  We all know the Goleta/ Santa Barbara one, but let's branch out.  I've been to a few others, San Clemente, Irvine, etc. but I don't remember too much about them.  This will have to be for future visits, possibly cool waiters/waitresses like Dottie could be listed.  I think it could be useful for future flapjacking adventures, maybe Vegas?
