and the pope wears a funny hat!
the main headline on yahoo today was 'bush: insurgents hurt efforts in iraq.' it might as well have been 'bear: i shit in woods.' is retardation a criterion for media membership in the united states? i propose that it is. also to be a member of the democratic party, apparently. or the harvard institute of politics, or whatever that was they showed ( Read more... ) -

go brown helmets!
dear friends list, please be less prolific. jeez, a guy doesn't surf the proverbial interweb for a few days, and bam! several pages of reading. speaking of which, i started reading anansi boys the other day, and i'm really enjoying it. especially after reading the five people you meet in heaven, which was nothing but third-grade level saccharine ( Read more... ) -
i love a girl with a dirty mouth
i've been struggling with a concept for a while, and i'm finally ready to admit it. south park is the best show on television. i've been steadfastly defending it as the smartest show on television for quite some time, but the more i think about it, the less i can deny it the title it has earned. and it all stems from trey parker. he has a ( Read more... ) -

the franchise is here to play
tonight will be for me what the night before christmas is for most children. i will go to bed early and it will seem like an eternity until morning. because i'm going to wake up at 6 am to play football at 8. it fills me with an enormous joy that i really can't justify with words. i'm not the same person when i'm on the football field. when i'm ( Read more... ) -
i'm baked
a thought just occurred to me; nbc promoted last week's broncos-chargers game as a 'battle between two first place teams,' but the teams are in the same division. i know technically it's a correct statement (they had a tie for first place going into the game), but it just sounds odd, like they should have said, 'it's a battle for first place in ( Read more... )
