Worthless and Weak

Happy Luke Jones Day!!! Especially if you happen to be Luke Jones!!

First, a few facts about Luke Jones day. It was started in the year 1287 by the Scottish King Regibald IX to commemerate the life and accomplishments of Luke Jones. When Archbishop Ferdinan XII of Bohemia was running for Pope, he needed the support of Archbishop Angus of Scotland, and agreed to encourage the tradition throughout all of Europe in exchange for the support of Angus. As such, it became a tradition througout much of Europe. During the Age of Exploration, as Europe created colonial empires and trading companies throughout the world, the tradition of Luke Jones day went with them. Often, cultures blend Luke Jones day with their own traditions, and each culture has different interpretations of Luke Jones day.

Today, Luke Jones Day is an international event celebrated by over 4 billion people, and is practiced in every country, except Uganda, which outlawed it in 1926 due to the incredible riots and looting that accompanied it every year. In Japan, Luke Jones is portrayed as a goofy, clumsy Samurai who always loses battles. In parts of Scandanavia, children are told that if they don't eat their dinner, the giant polar bear Luke Jones will eat them as they sleep. Every February 12 Mexico, immediately before midnight people hang small chicken bones in their windows, to ward off the evil spirit of Luke Jones. The city of Lagos, Nigeria has a giant festivile every year to celebrate the coming of Luke Jones. In Dutch, they leave candles in their windows to guide the spirit of Luke Jones home. Numerous movies, TV specials, SNL sketches and Homestar Runner cartoons have been made about the Day.
But on to my celebration. A few weeks ago, my friend Steffy took a picture of me for a class she has. Eventually, she developed it, and gave me a 10x8 print of it. Now, a while ago, my friend Luke Jones had a blog entry that went something like this...

"And now a history of Seth's roomate Garet (sic) and I -> There isn't one. Sorry to disapoint all of you who were expecting somethig profound. He's just a guy with cool ideas that I borrow giving him little or no credit. But he's cool like that. Seth thinks that I Idolize him. But seriously is it really considered Idolization just because I copied his blog design, and I'm constantly going to frisbee just to hang out with him, or because I have a signed picture of him on my wall? "

Naturally, I've been wanting to get him an acual picture of me for quite some time. And now, I have the chance to. So Seth and I went out and bought a frame the other day, I signed the picture, and all we needed was a chance to give it to him. And what better time to give it to him then Luke Jones day? Then, earlier today we went out and bought Steaks to eat, some chips, a cake and some rootbeer. YUM! Then we managed to get Mickey to come over, everybody shouted "Happy Luke Jones Day" to Luke as he walked in, and we all had a good time. Ate the traditional steak 'n' cake, and then because Luke wanted to, Seth managed to find a copy of "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey," and we watched it.

Now, because its Luke Jones day, I think I'll give you our favorite Luke Jones moments...
