Rooski and Blog-A-Rooski will both be sporting a new favicon. This 16×16 pixel master piece was created by yours truly. Alright… I did have a little help from Flavicon.cc. The site was pretty cool to play around with: It allows you to design pixel by pixel, choose from any color, and even create a shirt with your design on it. I was going to get one, but they were all out of XXXXL.
I want to tell the world about one of the sweetest things that I’ve ever experienced; it has to do with my favorite band, Led Zeppelin. Last weekend, some buddies and I headed up to the Salt Lake City to check out a band that does a wicked tribute to Led Zeppelin… The band is called, ‘No Quarter’.
That was the fourth time I had seen them play, and every time I have been simply blown away. The resemblance in sound and appearance is impeccable. Let’s just say that I was nethier drunk or ‘high’, but was still trippin’ the whole time. These guys are awesome!
If you are a fan of classic rock at all, this is a must see. They are constantly on tour, check out their MySpace page to see when they play near you. They will be playing at The Depot (in SLC) on January 19th. We usually get there a little early to get front row. Everyone feel free to join us… (I’m sure we’ll grab some rad Mexican food after too, mmm.)
Well, we’ve been pondering for the last couple of weeks as to what the true definition of ‘Rooski’ could be. Having chosen ‘Rooski‘ as the brand name for our fresh line of iPod products (soon to be launched), we saw it necessary that a proper definition be established. After googling around some, we found several uses for the word and an interesting guess at its true definition:
Urban Dictionary Definition of Rooski (link)
A rooski is small and brown haired. Originating from the island of the long, the rooski has been known to have wild and energetic charecteristics. At any moment, the rooski may burst in to emotional fits of happness, sadness, excitedness (the nesses could continue for hours but you get the point). The rooski now resides in the home of the slam (no definition needed). The rooski feeds on bread, marinara sauce, and occationally salads. If the rooski is fed anything other that bread sticks, the rooski will try it, but it will most likely be turnrd down after a couple of bites. The rooksi often lets out a squeal that can he heard across entire hallways. The squeal, while not deadly, tries to dipict the rooski’s emotion, but usually just confuses observers. Ignoring the emotional defaults, the rooksi is smart, freindly and perfect. Last but not least, the rooski loves the dali da, becuase the dali da is awesome and every one loves the dali da. end
Does this make sense to anyone? We kept it in context so that its credibility wouldn’t be diminished. Quite funny indeed.
We also found some cool nicknames and even some football trick-plays that incorporate usage of the word:
After much research, we are still uncertain as to what the heck ‘Rooski’ means. Can you help? Leave your definition in the comment section. Gracias!
