Weird, sad and a little funny all at the same time. Legally, very interesting.

Seeing as how my life apparently isn’t interesting enough to warrant a monthly update, here’s more junk from around the net…

• A list of 10 weird fetishes. Seriously, we were all babes in the woods fetish-wise before the great and powerful (and perverted) Internet came along.
• This was titled “Exactly what’s wrong w/ America” on digg. I wouldn’t say “exactly”, but it certainly plays its part. I wonder if she stole that from the Wal-Mart.
• The only word you’ll ever need (aside from the ‘F’ word, that is):
  
• What will $611 billion (with a ‘B’) get you these days? That’s how much it’s cost so far to bring democracy to Iraq. A list of things our leaders wouldn’t dream of funding even without paying for a war.
• Rock, Paper, Scissors… Thought you were playing by the right rules? (Found on digg)
  

  I understand how scissors can beat paper, and I get how a rock can beat scissors; but there’s no way paper can beat rock. Is paper supposed to magically wrap around rock and leave it immobile? Why can’t paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why can’t paper do this to people? Why aren’t sheets of college-ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they take notes in class? I’ll tell you why: because paper can’t beat anybody. A rock would tear it up in 2 seconds. When I play rock, paper, scissors, I always choose rock. Then, when someone claims to have beaten me with their paper, I can punch them with my already clenched fist and say, “Oh, I’m sorry. I thought paper would protect you.”

• Lately, I’ve thought about giving into the whole ribbon-magnet thing, but with my own cynical flair. I figured it should be easy to find one supporting the magnetic ribbon making industry, but then I saw this…. and this. Both of which are just as good. Oh, and there was this too.
• Quite possibly the coolest/funniest kitty litter packaging ever.
• 35 useless facts you probably did/didn’t know. A couple problems with the list: 28 is untrue and Mr. Rogers was an ordained minister – he’s more like a doornail now. Dead, that is.
• I don’t know why, but this made me laugh so hard.

…at any concert/music festival. Someone should make a T-shirt:

• Easily the best political ad ever. EV. AR. Gizmodo
• I’ve never seen this show, but this is just awesome:
  
  
  
• everydayshouldbesaturday.com is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Between the writing and, well, the writing is really good. Anyway, apparently he’s as dumbfounded by this Guinness commercial as I am.
• George Carlin preaches it like only he can. (if this has been removed just google George Carlin “Who owns you americans”):
  
• Esquire has the 5 Most Inappropriate Children’s Videos. The y saved the best for first in this list as G.I. Jimmy is probably the coolest thing on Esquire’s entire site!
• Here’s a great list of why gay marriage should not be legal (in jest of course)
• Another stupid list about how gadget-ized our society is. Still, kind of funny.

Found this on Wonkette. Bush declared yesterday before vetoing a child health bill today. It’s all about the photo ops, kids.

Dick.

… I swear. Promise. Cross my heart.

This is more for the Florida fans looking for someone to blame for last week’s loss. Mergz at Saurian Sagacity had an unbelievable number of tickets and is one well-connected Gator fan judging by the people he hangs with on game day. Apparently he forgot the cardinal rule of all SEC football, the one I alluded to previously. Never mess with the ju-ju. If your team’s on a winning streak, they respect the streak and so should you as a fan. Do nothing that might jeopardize your team’s chances of winning.

…A player on a streak has to respect the streak.
…If you believe you’re playing well because you’re getting laid, or because you’re not getting laid, or because you wear women’s underwear, then you ARE! And you should know that!
–Crash Davis

So yeah, after reading Mergz’s post, he’s totally to blame for Florida’s loss.

Totally random, but since this is the last post about the Auburn/Florida game (I really do mean it), I had to throw this in from Will Collier at From the Bleachers:

I know I’m laying it on kind of thick considering I’m and Auburn and Florida fan (yes, it’s possible), but even folks who don’t follow football should find this funny.

I get kind of vocal when I watch Auburn or Florida games, as most sports fans often do. I’m sure my neighbors heard my feelings about the kick return interference call loud and clear. That said, I don’t recall carrying on a one-sided conversation with anyone on TV. This kid looked like he was about to head to the top of Century Tower and partake of some people-hunting! Seriously, “You’re … fired Meyer”? 9 months after winning the BCS Championship and it’s time to let the guy go? Wow, talk about a tough fan base! They need a camera around this guy when the Gators go to Baton Rouge this weekend!

Century Tower from where some disgruntled Gator fan “fires” Urban Meyer.”

I was waiting for this (Sometimes even ninjas lose, baby).

Also, huge thanks to From the Bleachers (one of the two Auburn blogs I regularly read) for not publicizing his thoughts about Auburn before the game. He quotes Hank Hill on mojo, I’ll quote myself on ju-ju:

Ju-ju… don’t you f***ing dare even think about screwing with it!
–Me

Simply put, if you think Auburn’s going to win, please do the rest of the Auburn faithful a favor by keeping your mouth shut. I think we all agree by now that this team does so much better when nobody thinks they have a chance, so let’s just always assume they’re going to lose. Keep waiting for the big interception, the stupid momentum-crushing penalty or the return of the Bizarro Tigers who played USF and MSU.

As reported on Time here (not to mention a couple hundred blogs already), Radiohead is offering its new CD, In Rainbows for DRM-free download on their web site. What’s the big deal, right? They’ve been doing that for awhile, right? Well this time, you get to decide how much the music is worth. That’s right, the consumer sets his or her individual price point, including the always awesome ‘free’. That said, I hope the majority of people at least pay some money. This is a big leap the band’s taking and I think it places enormous responsibility on consumers to help Radiohead show the RIAA, the music industry, other bands and the main stream media that consumers can be trusted. That we don’t need to be, or like to be, treated as criminals; and that we will gladly spend our money on artists that respect and trust their fans.

I will most certainly be buying this CD from Radiohead. Even if I don’t really like it all that much, I see this as finally putting my money where my mouth has been for years.

This really sucks for the SEC in general because Florida’s going to fall hard. Auburn is my alma mater, but I grew up rooting for Florida. I still do root for Florida. Year in and year out, I only want to see a good game when my two teams play one another. Aside from a truly horrible penalty on Auburn’s punt coverage, tonight’s game was pretty good. The quarterback we thought we had in Brandon Cox showed up, our young offensive line played well beyond their experience, our receivers caught balls(!!!), and our running game produced actual positive yardage. Plus the aforementioned bad penalty actually served to ignite Auburn one final time to stop Florida on defense and drive down the field to kick the winning field goal not once but twice!

I’m usually not half bad at picking college games, but I am terrible when it comes to Auburn/Florida. Perhaps it’s because it’s always such a messed up game. This is best illustrated in this post on everydayshouldbesaturday.com:

And finally: Brandon Cox may miss his start against Florida due to heavy menstrual bleeding.* The only other injury on Auburn’s side will be the lingering injury to Quentin Groves, whose own massive balls hurt his back and general mobility six days of the week, but seem not to affect him on Saturdays.

*Egad, has Brandon Cox been terrible–we hear the worst of it from Auburn alum Cuddles, who’s exhausted his septic tank of profanities trying to accurately describe how bad he’s been. But that’s against every other team but Florida, where he’ll probably pull himself together and throw for 400 yards and five tds on us after we write that. That’s just the kind of jankety shit that always happens in Auburn/Florida games. Unlike Kyle**, we don’t hate Auburn. But damnation on a shitstick do we hate playing them.

** NOTE: Kyle is a Georgia fan and his site was linked there on the original post. We don’t link UGA sites here, and frankly I’m surprised Orson, the Gator fan that runs EDSBS did.
