#2 Draft Pick
I’d like to introduce my #2 draft pick to the Lodge. Devin Cabanilla. We sometimes call him “Devo” -- and he also goes by “The Duke” due to an infamous driving story reminiscent of the boys from Hazard County.
After last night’s Lodge gathering to see the pre-screening of Night Watch, Devo’s knowledge of obscure foreign films, his roots to a company we all had the pleasure of milking a few years at in EarthLink, and genuinely good storytelling persuaded the Lodge to add a new addition to our ranks and let him prove his worth.
Plus, we needed to diversify our ranks. Since I was the only minority previous to today (Dutch boy that’s black on the inside). So welcome, Mr. Cabanilla. Strike hard and strike fast.

Welcome Duke...
But Joe you did it again
I take offense to your statement that you are the only minority here in the Lodge. Your bigotry is blinding you my friend. Look we have the Uber-Geek in Jayne, the Mexi-CAN in me, the 253 in Goose, the under-paid teacher/bowling gumshoe/kent parks guys in the Dude, The night student in Sea-town and well Jim who I think is the only real white dude in the group.
So, we all have a little minority in all of us. Joe you like you Nazi brothers before you can make me think of one thing... Goose stepping morons like you should try reading books instead of burning them.
Easy, big fella. It was a joke.
I fully recognize your Mexican heritage. Wow. Yes, we are all different. But that's what makes the Lodge great. Forget to take your pills this morning?
I squirted milk out my nose at the line: "dutch boy that's black on the inside"...WOW...powerful stuff 2.0...and Duke better not let the Lodge down...your rep is on the line again...
and Train...my great-grandmother was 100% Cherokee...she was made completely out of jeans, it was incredible that she had kids...

Welcome to the squad. My family is part polish and I'm a twin. Who else can say one of these things from the Lodge. Joe is so him centered it's ridiculous. Write more later...kids coming!!!
Ha....Sea-town the night student.....nice. I will have to brush up on my obscure foreign film knowledge....I feel like I'm far behind everyone else in this area. I can make up for it in 'other' areas though.....
Welcome Duke!
I am proud... To be indoctrinated into such esteemed and rauckus company cannot be explained in its fullness except to summarize into the best quote that began all the magic.
"She slapped me so hard on the nuts I threw up on the street!" -bald drunk guy at queen anne bar
I will use this quote as the baseline for attitude and thematic of all my posts. Or so help me, at least you will blow milk out your noses.
I dig the Duke. Any man that can drop a little flash gordon from Queen off of his IPOD with no notice gets a "First Impression Bonus" in my book.
Welcome to The Duke.
