George W. Bush throws up a pitchfork; Brian gets a little more Internet-famous

In case you haven't heard, President Bush hosted the Sun Devils' national champion track and field and softball teams at the White House on Wednesday and threw up the ASU pitchfork in a photo op during the visit.


That's right; the President of the United States is showin' off a pitchfork on Day 2,854 of his presidency. (I say we should shoot for an Obama pitchfork photo-op by Day 200.)


But wait; it gets better.


Me and the Sonic drink guy!


Dashiell Bennett, associate editor of the sports blog Deadspin, commented on Bush's Sun Devil spirit (and the fact that the pitchfork closely resembles the shocker) on the blog this morning. And in so doing, he dug up a photo of yours truly showing his Sun Devil pride with a huge Sonic cup on rollerblades at the drive-in on Broadway Road.


So I'm pretty excited that I've got a new Internet claim to fame. Perhaps my newfound identity as "that guy throwing up a pitchfork with the Sonic cup" will soon eclipse my title of "that guy who made the 'ridicuously Methodist' facebook group" — at least in the U.S.


Internationally, I'd imagine I'll still be best known for my German modeling work:
