  • Amendment One

    I saw this on my twitter feed earlier:

    .................

    At least this is helping me figure out who to unfollow and defriend.

    REMEMBER KIDS, legislating religion is A-OK, as long as it's good old fashioned white Republican Christianity. Because that's what the founding fathers would want.

    Oh, wait. 

    Oops.

    Le sigh.

  • because I have nothing better to do

    1:Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
    Closed if possible. There's a lot of junk in my closet so it isn't always possible.

    2:Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
    Is that not why they're there?

    3:Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
    Out. I can't sleep unless my feet are sticking out from under the blankets or I get too hot.

    4:Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
    No but I know many people who have.

    5:Do you like to use post-it notes?
    Yes. Fun fact, I've only ever paid for 1 pack of sticky notes. They mysteriously appear in my house from parts unknown. Maybe that's the dimension where our missing silverware goes, and we get sticky notes in exchange.

    6:Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?
    All the time.

    7:Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?
    Bear. I'm pretty sensitive to bee stings.

    8:Do you have freckles?
    No :(

    9:Do you always smile for pictures?
    It depends on the context of the photo.

    10:What is your biggest pet peeve?
    Not being taken seriously when I am being serious

    11:Do you ever count your steps when you walk?
    No.

    12:Have you ever peed in the woods?
    Heavens no.

    13:What about pooped in the woods?
    Gracious! What kind of uncultured savage do you take me for

    14:Do you ever dance even if there's no music playing?
    I don't usually dance when there IS music playing. Except in my mind, but that's different.

    15:Do you chew your pens and pencils?
    Yes, constantly

    16:How many people have you slept with this week?
    Do stuffed animals count as people

    17:What size is your bed?
    Big enough for me + three cats, or four cats and me sleeping on the couch. 


    18:What is your song of the week?



    19:Is it okay for guys to wear pink?
    Yeah. "Pink" encompasses a lot of variations though. Gotta be careful.

    20:Do you still watch cartoons?
    Only every day

    21:Whats your least favorite movie?
    Bridesmaids. Everyone loved it but I thought it was painful and formulaic.

    22:Where would you bury hidden treasure if you had some?
    If I had treasure I wouldn't be burying it. I would be buying a sweet new Tyler Hansbrough warmup and a Kindle DX.

    23:What do you drink with dinner?
    Milk. Iced tea in the summer.

    24:What do you dip a chicken nugget in?
    Honey mustard yummm

    25:What is your favorite food?
    There are so many! Pulled pork, cheese fries, Italian wedding soup. The sausage and sour cream omelet at Ye Olde Waffle Shop in Chapel Hill is pretty high on the list. I don't know how they do it, but it's fucking magical.

    26:What movies could you watch over and over and still love?
    Back to the Future, Tron, The Producers

    27:Last person you kissed/kissed you?
    My cat.

    What? My cat is a person. A very fat, furry person who drools a lot.

    28:Were you ever a boy/girl scout?
    Only if eating an entire sleeve of thin mints in a sitting makes me a girl scout

    29:Would you ever strip or pose nude in a magazine?
    Probably not... there would have to be an astronomical amount of money involved.

    30:When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper?
    I guess that letter I wrote to Scott over Christmas break... that would have been what... 4 years ago. Shit.

    31:Can you change the oil on a car?
    I have the basic idea though I've never done it myself. If you gave me a repair manual and like 3 hours I could probably do it. And knowing me I'd forget to replace a cap or something stupid and ruin my engine.

    42:Which are better Lego or Lincoln Logs?
    Obviously Lego

    43:Are you stubborn?
    Yep. I get it from both sides. Everyone in my family is stubborn. In fact my grandfather's nickname was Mulix which is Polish for mule. It's in my blood.

    Frequently. Must be a glitch in the matrix

    59:Take a vitamin daily?
    When I remember... which isn't always daily

    Nah.

    61:Wear a bath robe?
    Yes. I <3 my bathrobe

    Trophy house husband

    71:Can you curl your tongue?
    Yes

    73:Have you ever cried because you were so happy?
    I don't think so.

    Sure

    85:Are you patient?
    In most situations

    Nope too expensive

    89:Which are better black or green olives?

    Living room

    93:If married, how long have you been married?
    ...

    94:Who was your high school crush?
    His name was Alex and he had red hair and a crooked smile... I think somewhere along the line he became a hardcore Christian though so I may have dodged a bullet there. Funny, I thought gingers had no souls?

    95:Do you cry and throw a fit until you get your own way?
    Nah, that'd never work.

    96:Do you have kids?
    Hell no, I'm still a kid myself. Mentally anyway.

  • The NFL Draft

    Mel Kiper is the luckiest SOB in sports. I also would like to make vague, unsupported, ultimately meaningless predictions in magazines about the draft which people pay stupid amounts of money for every year. But I don't think they're hiring anyone else for that job. 

    He can keep the hair, though. That I don't want. 

    Does the draft really matter, or is all this hype just a blatant money grab by the league and the TV networks?

  • The kid sitting behind me at the Sixers game (& his friends): A Tribute

    On David West missing a free throw: "IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE BALD! IT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK!!!" 

    Upon the entrance of any number of Pacers bench players: "WHO??? WHERE'S REGGIE MILLER? IS THAT REGGIE MILLER?!"

    On Tyler Hansbrough diving for a loose ball: "ARREST THAT MAN, HE A HUSTLA!"

    While Andre Iguodala was sitting on the bench: "WHY ISN'T HE PLAYING? I PAID GOOD MONEY TO SEE IGUODALA! I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE IGUODALA FAN CLUB!"

    Whenever a friend of his got up to go get a snack or what have you: "Don't get lost! Hold hands now! Use the buddy system!" 

    On the guy selling popcorn: "EVERYBODY BOO THAT MAN, HE'S WEARING A YELLOW SHIRT, HE A CLOSET PACER! BOOOOOOO!!!!" (and they all booed him)

    On Elton Brand: "HE OLD! HIS AGE IS THE SAME AS HIS JERSEY NUMBER! WHY ARE WE PAYING HIM $60 MILLION??"

    On the folks who participated in a halftime half-court shot contest (and missed) (badly)- "THAT'S THE NETS STARTING FIVE RIGHT THERE"

    On the folks who participated in a similar three point contest (and missed) (badly)- "SIGN THOSE PEOPLE TO THE BOBCATS"

    Near the end of the game, with 3 Sixer points to go until the 100 point score necessary for free Big Mac coupons: "WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WIN, WE JUST WANT BIG MACS!" (they didn't get any big macs)

    Also near the end, he had a great elaborate call and response chant with all his friends that culminated in "WHEN I SAY HILLSHIRE YOU SAY FARMS, HILLSHIRE! (FARMS!) GO MEAT!!" Pretty sure the whole section lost it after that, if they hadn't already. 

    Wherever you are, kid from 205A, they should be paying YOU to come to games. That shit was hilarious. I'm sorry you didn't get your big macs. brofist

  • me-yow

    Eartha Kitten is in heat. She's been prancing all over the house for two days cooing and doing her little dance. There are at least five male cats that come around at all hours of the day and night howling outside the windows because they know she's in here (she was with two of them the other day before we could get her inside, the little slut). We have finally solved the mystery of the milkshake what brings all the boys to the yard. It's this.

  • EPIC RAGE

    Kendall Marshall broke his wrist against Creighton. After they were thugging it up all afternoon. Refs let them play, and then this happens. 

    I'm going to cry. Or puke. Or both. Possibly not in that order. 

    THERE IS NO END TO MY RAGE

    FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
