After all the effort I put in saying I’m “not affiliated with the university”, I see THIS!
I’ll re-iterate that I still and will never be affiliated with EUP. But hey man, that’s my name!
Ah well.
The menus on this site are several years out of date. They will be updated soon.
Much like QR codes, it looks like flash mobs are just hitting Edinboro/Erie. Man, I wish this never happened.
Cringe worthy material right here. Looks like it was filmed on a toaster.
This means the person doing this has a general knowledge of what a meme is. He went to memegenerator.net and selected the “Good guy greg” meme yet continually types not goodguy greg things into it. All the other memes make sense and are used correctly, though.
What makes this even weirder is that someone called them out on the last time they did it, and they responded with this:
What is going on?
Is this reality?
For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, there’s this cool new twitter thing going on.

I barely know how twitter works, so I can’t really get into it that much. It seems pretty funny.
However, one thing bugged the hell out of me.
This.
I hate to be the internet police, but this meme is being used hilariously wrong. This meme is named “Good Guy Greg” and it’s always used as a... good guy. Someone who pays your parking meter or doesn’t cock-block you at a party. You know, stereotypical good guy stuff that no one gets credited for.
Good Guy Greg is an image macro series featuring a photo of a square jawed man smiling at the camera with a joint in his mouth. The overlaid text generally depicts acts of kindness, generosity or a general empathetic attitude, and is meant to be the antithesis of Scumbag Steve.
You want to be using Scumbag Steve in this case. And you can call me a nerd and say I’m wasting my time and shit, but I mean if youre going to be tweeting memes, and basing a shtick around memes, it should be done right, you know?
And the fact that it took me 5 minutes to figure out what else “CP” could mean probably says wonders about what the internet has done to our culture.
The rest of the stuff was pretty funny and done well – and it’s a good idea all around. But that really ground my gears.

Thoughts?
It’s no secret to anyone that knows me that I watch hockey almost constantly. I feel like this entry was a long time coming.
Here’s a look at the typical Erie Otters jersey.
Not too bad. Nothing outstanding, but that’s what makes a jersey good. Simplicity. I’m also a fan of their 2003 sweaters:
Perfectly plain. I don’t want to watch a bunch of dudes skating around in extravagant clothing while I’m trying to watch hockey. Kind of a given.
What human being, or group of human beings looked at the following jersey and thought it was a good idea?
This shebackle is from a few months back. I can’t find any pictures of them actually wearing them, because I’m pretty sure they burned them.
What the hell? Baby vomit.Doesn’t stick to color scheme. Weird gradients and swooshes all over the place. I have no idea. I’m speechless. I don’t need to rip into the jersey because for Christ’s sake just look at it.
I assume when the players put them on it was this:
After they wore them they went on to lose a million games, or something. I don’t have access to watch the games where I’m located, so whatever.
It’s not hard to find articles on the worst hockey jerseys ever. Take a look at this one or this one and tell me that these Otter sweaters aren’t significantly worse than all of them. Oof.
