Grift Ogden Announces a New Cartoon Contest

We got an email a few days ago from our friends at the Grift Ogden Website:

New: A call for cartoons featuring Powder Mountain Towne.

New Also: It looks like liftogden.com is offline, so we're declaring GriftOgden.com the winner of the Gondola Wars. We win, they lose. We rule, they rue.

As our regular readers will recall, the folks who run this website (WSU physics students and perfessers, we think [?]) have conducted a highly creative sort of cartoon guerrilla war over the past few years, via the medium of humorous and jagged cartoons drawn on classroom blackboards.

Our readers will also recall the cartoon/graphics contest they sponsored last year, on one of our favorite local topics, Gondolas.

Here's the winner of the last Grift Ogden Gondola Contest:

1st place

The second and third-place finishers follow in sequence, etc.

We thus encourage all cartoonist readers, and those who are adept at at anything from cartoon drawing to Photoshop to submit their graphic creations with regard to the Ogden Valley connection. Who knows, you may even win a free pizza, hand prepared by the very lovely Juanita, proprietor of the most-excellent Pizza Runner -- the danged best gourmet pizza between the left and right coasts?

Ogden Valley residents, we think, should also welcome Grift Ogden/Ogden Valley into the fight.

"A picture is worth a thousand words," after all. And Grift Ogden/ Ogden Valley is all about graphic images.

Go to the site, Weber County artistes, and submit your own graphic and artistic images.

I would encourage readers to take Rudi's insinuations about physics perfessers with a very large grain of salt.

Meanwhile, I find it curious that all of the following are happening at about the same time:

1. liftogden.com goes offline;
2. The mayor publicly brings up the alleged deficit of Mt. Ogden Golf Course;
3. New rumors begin circulating about development plans for the property above the top of 27th Street;
4. Ed Allen announces his candidacy for the Utah House seat that represents the WSU area.

Perhaps some of these are mere coincidences. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sharpen the pitchforks and stockpile a few torches.

Good point, Dan. If WSU perfessors were more diligent in heaping homework on Physics degree candidates, they, they, the uber undergraduatetes, would have no time in in their pathetic acedemic lives to comment on local politics.

Ha Haw.

Which modern political titan said this? (Click on the link to find out, straight from the horse's mouth, as it were.)

And it's one of the wonderful -- it's like earning capital. You asked, do I feel free. Let me put it to you this way: I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it. It is my style. That's what happened in the -- after the 2000 election, I earned some capital. I've earned capital in this election -- and I'm going to spend it for what I told the people I'd spend it on, which is -- you've heard the agenda...

What you are seeing, Dan, is the huge hunks of political capital earned in this election being spent.

Rudi, I am too busy attending crime conferences to "heap homework" on my students.
