Shaping young minds...

The sports show for a high school video channel borrows a bargument for a commercial. The borrowing starts at :15.

Not the best banter ever captured on You Tube, but one of only two searches that pops up for "bargument" on the site, so we're a fan.

"Instant conversation starter"

So says the guys at this radio station, which had some fun with barguments.com the other day. Lots of traffic to the site, so thanks guys.

No Jeers for the Barguments App

Just Another iPhone Blog gave a nice little review of the Barguments iPhone App the other day. There were some gripes, of course, and I actually agree. The website isn't very compatible with the iPhone screen, and we'll work on that... But if the commentary about the app itself were translated into symbols, I think it would be an upward pointing thumb joined by an identical upward pointing thumb...

The Bargu-app drops today

For just 99 cents, you can have 150 new barguments. (Oh, you'll also have to spend about $300 on an iPhone if you don't have one already.) I was playing with the Barguments app this morning and it's fun. Like the book, but with shaking and sound effects. Screen capture to follow. You can click here and buy it for your touch Ipod.

Washingtonpost.com has a little sports Bargument going on: Which NFL rules would you change? One guy wans to revive endzone dances. Headline: Bring back the Ickey shuffle.



I once interviewed Ickey at party when the Super Bowl was in Miami two years ago.

I then asked if the Ickey Shuffle was extra. It was.

Jockeys don't count

Doing some research for the Barguments iPhone App (set aside 99 cents now!) and came across this gallery on boston.com that makes for an easy Bargument:

Name the best short athlete of all time?

And yes, the definition of short will be part of the Bargument. Does it get measured on a sliding scale-- would significant skills be given more weight or a severely short person, or should you simply judge the entire pool of short athletes on an equal basis?
