We're kinda a big deal

So three and a half years have come and gone; my time as a student at the great University of Minnesota will soon be coming to an end. With that in mind, I like to believe I've left my mark on the fabric of campus history. I like to believe that my interactions with others around me has made a positive impact. But most of all I want to believe that I was kinda a big deal. Deep down we all want it; we want to know that somewhere someone is thinking, "Do you remember when those guys did that sweet thing at that place?"

This concept came to me in a rare spurt of surfing the interwebs in a non-lube-involved manner and I can assure you that we are a big deal. This site has gained in popularity beyond that which we had considered(meaning more than we three read this thing). We have readership stemming from every continent on earth - save the one with all the penguins. Most but not least, clicking on the I'm feeling lucky button when googling "man palace" leads any curious individual straight here. Clearly, we are the epitome of all that is man.

Again while doing some mindless web wandering, I came across this gem over at PPI Sports products. That would be us, three of the founding fathers of The Man Palace, front and center. It appears our Gopher Sports fandom has made us poster children for the "Inflatable Spirit Finger"- not a bad title to have if I do say I so myself.

Some might call this bragging and I shamefully admit that it is. The thing that interests me the most is how without trying our actions have somewhat unknowingly left that mark that I've been talking about. Our interactions are forever inscribed on the minds of so many people around us and not around us. I'm not sure if this is exciting or bothersome, but probably both. The fact that AEGA has been dubbed Santa by security in Mary's Hoochie or that Rusty went and bitched about student tickets in a private meeting with Joel Mat just makes me feel proud to be amoung such fine men.
