How many Cornell grads does it take ...
... to kick Cornell grad Neil Best's a@s in page views?
We're hoping two.
La Monica hopped aboard the Glauber Nation train last month, offering his inimitable creativity and blog expertise to the program.
And now say hello to Chris Mascaro, who will be contributing his football knowledge and perspective to Glauber Nation.
Chris is that latest Big Red representative to grace Newsday's ever-widening slice of the blogosphere, and you'll see him in a more prominent way right here.
We'll get him the super-duper top-secret password, and off he'll go.
One thing we'd like to do - and this is where Chris comes in - is develop a more news-driven dynamic. What with NFL developments happening at warp speed, sometimes things like covering games, press conferences, and locker room sessions take us away from the computer and leave you looking for news on other sites.
Well, we aim to change all that, and one of the ways is to have the Internet-addicted Mascaro comb the vast regions of cyberspace to bring you up to speed on what's going on.
So please give a hearty Glauber Nation welcome to Mascaro, and enjoy his work.
(Not to worry. We will still indulge in juvenile and sophomoric behavior and material here. Look-a-likes isn't going anywhere. Nor is bathroom humor. Nor is Bob Mantz bashing. Nor is our frequent mocking/adulation of Best. The only fly in the ointment is where to put Mascaro in next year's holiday greeting elves video. It might mean kicking Best to the curb, although it might be tough to pass up the comic relief provided by his head atop a dancing elf.)

Maybe you should revisit the idea of renaming your corner of the internets. As I recall, 505 had some catchy monikers for you.
And for fun why don't you tell us a little bit about how this thing is evolving. How involved has Newsday management been in what their bloggers are doing?
"As I recall, 505 had some catchy monikers for you."
"Bob's Blog, Not Even a Cornell of Truth Anymore".
Welcome Mascaro.
First job:
Tell Glauber that if he wants more page views, maybe break news here instead of on TV programs. (Next Giants D-Coord).
Also, more photos of hot women, whether he can tie it to the NFL or not.
Sigh.
Does anybody know how many Cornell grads it takes to screw in a light bulb ?
Working from "home" again, huh?
I'm fairly certain it only takes one Cornell grad to screw in a lightbulb. The problem is those Harvard punks don't know how to hold the ladder.
It only takes one person from Cornell to screw in a light bulb, but they get three credits for it.
It only takes one Cornell grad to screw in a light bulb...but it takes another one to write up and secure the government grant to pay for it, another to serve the celebratory brie and Champagne, another to ponder the significance of it, another to sigh upon the turn of the final screw, and finally, another to write about the accomplishment in the local newspaper.
Cornell Grads screw in their own light bulbs?
That must make NYSEG very happy.
NYSEG may be very happy that Cornell grads screw in their own light bulbs, but I have it on good authority that the IBEW is now planning a boycott of Best's blog.
Oh, this is gonna be fun.
Watt ever !
Beefy be ballin'
Three Cornell grads and we've yet to see the passing of an institution duely noted:

Rest in peace, Bob.
craig,
no doubt the news of Hot Truck Bob's passing hit me hard. hello, PMP, WGC and the MBC.
but i'm trying to keep my work here as football-related as possible. plus, i doubt there are many in Glauber Nation who would appreciate the art of ordering a sandwich hammered at 3 a.m. in the freezing cold and waiting 90 minutes for it because of the line and not caring about anything aside from that sandwich.
as for you 505 and B'nG, NYSEG is always appreciative when college students paid their bills. now, if they only knew how i used to get the money to pay those bills, that's another issue for a blog that focuses on petty crimes with expired statute of limitations.
Wow, La Monica. That might have qualified as a comment contest winner if you weren't a content provider of this here blog.
Brilliant.
Did I just read La Monica's inadvertent White Paper Condemnation of The Educational Institution known as The Ivy League, specifically Cornell University?
Did he just write an adoring soliloquoy about a mobile sandwich maker named after a stolen vehicle?
A fond reminisce about engaging in the insane act of standing outside in 0 degree weather for 90 minutes for a taste of rotting animal flesh slapped between 2 pieces of Wonder Bread?
An admission of guilt for being part of what was apparently an extensive petty crime wave that gripped the Ithaca area during his stay at Cornell?
And we mortals are stunned by Neil Best's disdain and arrogance in fielding questionable football picks?
I can't speak for anyone else, but from now on, any reference I make toward "Cornell" will have the word "Evil" in front of it.
And it's pretty clear to me that the phrase "Den of Iniquity" is too good for the Evil Cornell.
And let's elaborate a little bit on the concept of standing outside for upwards of 90 minutes in freezing weather at less than the holiest of hours, HAMMERED, awaiting a sample of the magic elixir dispensed by the guy in the stolen truck on the dark street corner.
The fact that this guy peddled his wares only during the heart of darkness, when the weather was at it's worst, and apparently still did a booming business, makes me wonder if he used the same kind of laced onions that White Castle uses in order to addict the hammered masses during witching hours.
And I gotta wonder how much of a cut the tenured mob running the Evil Cornell were getting from this street corner peddler of addictive substances.
"Those that can....do.....those that can't.....teach...or sell addictive substances",
There is to be no condemnation of Hot Truck, dear ol' 505. it's the stuff of legend.
the weather always sucked at Cornell, so blame Ezra Cornell and Mother Nature for that, not Hot Truck Bob. And he was a late-night institution so as not to interfere with meal plan kids.
to even put white castle in the same sentence let alone the same web site as Hot Truck is like telling LTmeansLawrenceTaylor that LT really stands for Lana Turner!
"... that LT really stands for Lana Turner!"
I'll drink to that.
