NEW CONTEST – BETA PI BLOG “DIGITAL” CONTEST

By Bozino Lorenzo

Since its inception in August 2006, Beta Pi Blog has been controversial. 

Some have said the Blog is sophomoric.  Some have accused the Blog of











spreading political messages  – a false accusation. 

Some have inferred the Blog patronizes women.  Others have complimented the Blog on its “Contests”.  Your Blog Staff has not let you down.

Over the years, photographs of Tick-a-lors and

ATO Gal-Pals, and other Celebrities . . . .




have surfaced that show a trend in the growing use of “Digital” technology.  We have decided to compile these and create a Contest . . .

THE DIGITAL CONTEST. 

Contest Rules:  Simply vote on your favorite “Digital” Photo and write a very short blurb (100 words or less, no profanity) why your pick is the “Best Digital Photo.”  Entries must not be posted or mass e-mailed.  Entries must be sent to Blog Editor via e-mail at Lasimons4law@aol.com .   

Drum roll please . . . . AND YOUR . . . BETA PI BLOG “DIGITAL” PHOTO CONTESTANTS ARE . . . :

BECKY BRUNING – “THE MUD CHICK” – this is a "digital" photo that will live . . . in infamy.

 

MATTHEW “DON’T CALL ME” HART, aka The Abominable Doctor Phibes. (This is Phibes enjoying his digit, and himself at the Annual ATO Dinner back in 2009!)

 

 

 

 

 

BONNIE PARKER, showing some "Digital Cigarette Action"

 

JAY CUTLER flashing his digit (at least Buck Biller says this is Cutler).

MARK “MARLON” McGANN - just being Marlon (Chip Heartfield sent this picture, and has promised a side-story on the actual facts behind this photo, but they are waiting on Marlon, and you know how difficult Marlon can be about “particulars.”  So that side-story will have to wait, but we wanted this “Digital Photo” to be part of the contest.)

 

COREY "STUBBS" CLARK. (All digits displayed at The Fight.)

 SPAWN OF BOSS MEETS SON OF DOCTOR PHIBES!

 

Recently, Boss Stein sent me a nice note, regarding himself and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matthew "Don't Call Me" Hart -

 

along with this picture:

 

 “Larry, Matt brought his neat son Michael to town to visit campus. My son, Tyler ( who has just graduated from VU) and I had dinner at Jimmy Kelly's.”

The two Geezers in this shot look really happy, and really crocked.  Handsome young lads.  I had previously received this note from Phibes, which I think describes the same meeting:

“Hey LARRY, I had a nice visit with Mr. John Stein and his son Tyler last night.  Boss was nice enough to keep it to Def-Con 2 with my son Mike who was on a College Tour.  Attached is a photo of 2012 version of Shipwreck.  Pools no longer allowed in basement so they built this.  We went inside to say Hello, met some young ladies who called themselves AT Ho's.  I think I prefer wenches but I didn't say anything about that.  I introduced myself to one of the lads who immediately asked if I was there when the guy lit himself on fire at Shipwreck.  I told him he was looking at him, autographed his notebook and bolted before my kid could figure anything out.  I hope. "A Night That Shall Live Forever in the Annals of ATO History.””
