Introduction to Borat
If you don’t know who Borat is, this interview he did on the Conan O’Brien show will sum it up for you.
Basically, he’s a journalist from Kazakhstan talking about making romance with Queen Latifah.
Waawaaweewaa!
GMU SAT Update
Freddy reported this past weekend that George Mason University is no longer accepting SAT scores for incoming students. This is acutally not 100% true as a reader pointed out to me yesterday.
From the Mason Gazette:
George Mason will permit high school seniors with strong academic records to apply for admission without standardized test scores, becoming one of the largest competitive public universities in the nation to offer such a policy.
Beginning this fall, seniors with cumulative GPAs of 3.5 or higher who rank in the top 20 percent of their class will have the option of being considered for admission without submitting SAT or ACT scores.

Who Needs SATs When You’ve Got Basketball
As Freddy informed us this past weekend, GMU is no longer accepting SAT scores for incoming students.
L’avant Poste has found out why. It’s because the George Mason basketball team will be playing in 3 nationally televised basketball games this winter.
The ESPN Game Schedule for your information
- vs. Witchita State Nov. 18 4pm ESPN
- vs. Duke Dec. 9 ESPN
- Hofstra Feb. 10 ESPN
- …possibly Bracket Buster on ESPN Feb 17…
And of course next March, fingers crossed!
Sigh…Ginobili!
Well, Turkey’s run in the FIBA Championships ended about 30 minutes ago. They lost 83-58 to Argentina.
But I’m not that sad because I really like to yell,
GINOBILI!!!
USA plays tomorrow against Dirk Nowitzki’s Germany, should be another great one. Stay tuned, I’ll keep you posted.
Footage from Valle Versazca
Peaceluvbug has some video up on her site from the beautiful Valle Versazca waterfall. Girls in bikinis jumping off of high rocks into water. I hope bikinis got your attention. Here is a little teaser clip, you can watch the rest by going to www.aop1980.com/deniz
FIBA Update
The World Basketball Championships are still going on in Japan. A quick update – Turkey is playing Argentina tomorrow at 3:30am (EST).
If you’re in Lugano, that’s 9:30am – if you like basketball and live somewhere in the world where the game is not on at some crazy time, check it out 🙂
Argentina is a damn good team, and beating them would give Turkey a chance to come in second. (Let’s face it, the US is going to be in first when all is said and done).
If you can’t catch the game, I’ll post the results from the US and Turkish games ASAP tomorrow morning.
