Oreos?

DEVON GRANDY (New York, New York)

So I’m just going to jump right into it:

In a multi-faceted effort to provide my family and friends with a quasi-regular update on the happenings here at Columbia as well as provide myself with an outlet with which to write and be read, I’ve started this weblog (link provided for the unenlightened), ambiguously titled Break Out The Oreos (we’ll get to that later). It will hopefully develop its own tone and theme as time goes on, but for now it’s pretty much just me honing my writing skills and hopefully entertaining you.

That’s right: this weblog, one of a whopping 112.8 million+ scattered across this vast, dark expanse that is our Internet (but doesn’t that put how small we really are into perspective?), is going to be about whatever I want it to be for the time being. Which, you know, is really an original gameplan when it comes to self-published internet writings.

Which brings us to the title of the blog. There really is nothing to explain, other than the fact that it’s a snappy yet inscrutable phrase whether in or out of its context, which happens to be the ridiculous fourth quarter of a Texas high school football championship. I assume, through the power of inference, that “break out the oreos” is a celebratory remark, and that oreos are kind of a big deal in Texas. Then again, with such a competitive and masculine marketing campaign as this, how could the Texans not like them?

Cheers.
