PlatKat's Esteemed Cabinet of Advisors


Every great country is backed by an intelligent group of experts, and the kingdom of PlatKat is no different. However, also like every great country, there's a charismatic leader who appears hell-bent on running it into the ground despite his good intentions. At some point in my life, each of you has done something wonderful to keep me headed in the right direction, expecting nothing in return but a sincere "thank you." Other than that, I'm at a loss for words to describe how much you've helped. But in addition to your unique roles, you've managed to shut me up, and that takes some doin'!

Chief of Staff - Sean Bagley

Secretary of Defense - Miranda Watson
Secretary of Education - Eric Raub
Secretary of Employment - Tamara Waite
Secretary of Food and Nutrition - Daniel Domene
Secretary of Health and Human Services - Laura Gilley
Secretary of International Relations - Kevin Rehak
Secretary of Marital Issues - Michael Housewright
Secretary of Music and Recreation - Damon Williams
Secretary of Pet Services - Dan McPartland
Secretary of Poker Strategies - April Kyle
Secretary of Religion - Path Welch
Secretary of TotalFark - Jason Truitt

Ambassador to Chicago - Laura Winfrey

The Seattle Big 10

I just wanted him to show me the Space Needle...

  1. Becoming the self-appointed welcome wagon in a city I've lived in less than 6 months
  2. iPod Sundays at The Satellite
  3. Winehoused!
  4. The technicolor wolf-dragon-man
    I think I finally figured out what he wants from me, and he can't have it!
  5. MS Transportation Failure
    "I think I'm going to die on this bus."
    "Perhaps we already have."
  6. Having to describe the weather I'm seeing only as "precipitation" because I really don't know what it is
  7. Kool-Aid Man
    Oh yeah!
  8. A t-shirt that reads, "Ask me why I'm stabbing you in the face."
    "WHY???
  9. Koreans who love eggs
    Like the sky above...
  10. g00bs, a.k.a. Seattle men
    Love 'em or hate 'em, they make great blog fodder


The Previous Big 10

The Summer Again Big 10

A year? Already?

  1. Free Hams
    Free hams will fill me! Free hams will thrill me! Why don't you feed me... FREE HAMS!!!
  2. The DMV in NYC
  3. Adding bubbles to your bath so you can actively ignore how dirty the tub is
  4. Gus's diamond status at Harrah's properties
    Congrats, baby!
  5. Bjorkestra
    The term alone has me excited
  6. Old friends
  7. The Master Cleanse
  8. My broken Sidekick
    Fuck T-Mobile. I'd flip the bird for emphasis but my hands are busy with this tablet and chisel
  9. Edys Loaded Butterfinger Ice Cream
    The Addiction is back
  10. Being annoyed that the right column is longer than the left
    My site needs a boob job


The Big 10 Before That

The Big Apple Big 10

It's up to you, New York

  1. My new office
    I miss everyone in the Austin office a lot, but these guys give me iced mochas
  2. Countertops... Whoa...
  3. Peeping Tom
    "You people live in Brooklyn because you can't afford to live in Manhattan." / "I do live in Manhattan! HAHAHAHA!"
  4. The never-ending quest for tortillas and Mach-3 razors
    I think I'm done questing for awhile
  5. Vacation sunglasses
  6. Hoboken
    If only for its great view of Manhattan
  7. The misguided libidinous dweebs on MySpace
  8. The new virus on my computer that allowed me to install a fart button
  9. Abnormally vivid dreams about monkeys
    That's a bit curious, George
  10. Waiting until I move across the country to update my Big 10


The Big 10 Way Before That

The Linkless Big 10

Because you've had enough already!

  1. DSL and wireless Internet
    They got off to a rocky start, but now they're finally coexisting peacefully in my apartment
  2. Dim Sum
    Like most ethnic foods, it's even better here
  3. My refurbished Blogger template
  4. Trader Joe's
    It's better than your grocery store
  5. Feeling like I'm on vacation all the time
  6. People who actually speak web jargon
    Way to show your age! LOL
  7. Haight Street
    I'm sure there are "much cooler" places to go in San Francisco, but I don't care
  8. The DaVinci Code
  9. My car
    Never thought I'd appreciate it so much until I had to spend a lot of time in the backseat of someone else's
  10. Still figuring out what to do with the new-fangled Big 10s


The Big 10 Way WAY Before That

The Big 10 of 2004

If popular cable channels can do it, so can I

  1. We took home the best dog ever
  2. The revival of PlatKat.com
    I've come a long way, baby!
  3. The first season of Home Movies on DVD
    Put marbles in your nose/No do not put them there!
  4. Men who still think women can't play poker
    Your ignorance is cash in my pocket
  5. My pink hair
    Now everyone's really jockin' me like they know me
  6. Freebirds North
    Fuck Chipotle (a subsidiary of McDonald's)
  7. A full-sized U-Haul truck being hauled by a larger truck
  8. Going to Oklahoma more times in one year than ever before
    I saw a cow
  9. Sammiches
    Why say it correctly? Ask the maker of the 8500-calorie one.
  10. Spending too much time contemplating what to do with all of my archived Big 10s


The Big 10 Way WAY WAY Before That

A Very Space-Saving Big 10

  1. Netflix
    I'm on the bandwagon at last!
  2. The new They Might Be Giants video on homestarrunner.com
  3. Fish tacos from Zapatos
    Perhaps the only good thing about College Station
  4. Adult Swim
    What bumps will those crazy kids think of next?
  5. The movie, Frida
    Better than they say, not as good as it could have been
  6. That guy who blew up an outhouse because he lit a cigarette while taking a shit
  7. Super Puzzle Fighter
  8. Las Vegas
    Hell on earth, but I was just visiting
  9. The amendment banning same-sex marriage was defeated in the Senate
    Good to hear we're staying in the 21st century
  10. Crappy free cds from college
    Although they give my desk a cluttered, retro look, I'm still not listening to them
