Join me in the adventures (or misadventures) of the famed Luke Daugherty.

Luke has been spotted in various places in Columbia, MO. over the past 7 weeks or so. It is apparent that he did in fact arrive hom from Vail safe in eraly August with much to tell about it. Many sources have confirmed that he did in fact have a wonderful summer, though many others have been left to wonder by his mysterious lack of blogging. He was last seen to have blogged in mid-June, and we can now see that October is well underway. However, many have claimed to have interacted with him and spent time with him since his return. He appears to still be enrolled in classes at the University of Missouri, as usual, and doing fine in them. We at blogger.com cannot officially confirm his whereabouts, however, since everything we know is based on hearsay.

We have indeed talked to many of his friends in Columbia. Jeremy Gibson, his roommate of 3.5 years, was quoted saying, "Yeah Daugherty is back, unfortanately. He's brought a ton of his infamously not funny phrases back with him, too. One more year seems liek too much to handle with a guy who routinely calls himself the cockroach or the lova. I have known him all my life and I think I understand him even less since his trip. I'll show him a papa not preachin!"

Ryan Frank, a friend who accompanied Luke to Vail this summer, says he has seen Luke numberous times, whether witnessing with him on Fridays or chilling with him after Crusade meetings. "I'm all types of excited to keep getting to know Luke after this summer - it's great to finally have a friend at MU who's as wacked out as I am." Frank appears to have more of an affinity for Luke's idiosyncracies than does the aformentioned Gibson.

Megan Crowley, Gibson's girlfriend of many years and also known as Luke's "sister," shares Gibsons woes. "Yeah, I've seen him a lot since he got back. Poor Jeremy - at least I don't have to live with the kid! All these phrases he brought back from Vail are ridiculous, though I do like that new one, 'pseduo-dark.' Oh well, he seems to have had a great summer, I'm not sure why you can't seem to get ahold of him."

Jay Barrow, another Vail compadre, has supposedly spent many hours with Luke. "Dog I see that mug like twice a week at least, and he's usually as clumsy and goofy as ever. Get up off this!"

Ann Hausam, Luke's music snobbian partner in destroying the cheese-pop music industry, actually claims to have a class with the boy. "I see the lova in class 3 times a week and at worship practice and lots of other places. He's around. I even saw Wilco and Radiohead with him these past few months and I know he had a great time at those. They call him the cockroach these days, though, so maybe that's what you need to do when you're looking for him."

Even Pat Garvin, a friend whom Luke cares for greatly but doesn't get to see nearly as often as he'd like, said he has seen the famed Lapa a few times this semester. "I barely recognized him at first - his hair was all in his eyes like some blonde Beatle. Pretty cool, but I could tell he got granola-ized in Colorado."

Many other sightings have been reported - to name a few, Jill Boehmer, Erica Brooks, Sarah Protzman back from London, Ryan O'Leary, Pastor Mike Burt and many others. He seems to genuinely be in Columbia, but avoiding thoseof us at blogger.com and not doing justice to his faithful readers. We hope there will be more, and better, news to come.
