Why I <3 Old Men

Basically, this is the best thing that happened in football this week. Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams decided to stick it to the Bills after their big win. And since he’s 86, the best way for him to do that apparently was with his hands. Amazing.

Was it worth the $250,000 he was fined? For my entertainment value, absolutely!

Math Penguin

So apparently some school in California has implemented a novel approach to raising test scores: a mute penguin.

Strange concept – the kids like it because it’s like a video game, but I guess this penguin jumps around to show linear equations and whatnot? I’m not sure what the world has come to that kids only learn when there are video games involved, but I guess this is better than nothing.

And it goes to show that penguins are in fact a cure-all :)

Jackass

Usually it’s great to have the president talking about you. I guess not if you’re Kanye West.

Imagine this:

“Oh yeah, the president was talking about me!? What did he say”

“He called you a jackass”

LOL

WTF is wrong with people

OK so some people are just totally crazy. I understand being a fan of a sport, or liking a particular individual athlete. I’d be lying if i said I didn’t have my own healthy obsession with one or two myself :)

However, there is a line. And in addition to knowing where that line is, you really shouldn’t ever cross it.

This lady doesn’t seem to have that concept down. WTF is wrong with this woman?

She then informed the employees that there was a live goat in the trunk that she planned to slaughter later…They popped the trunk and found the animal, dyed purple and gold with the number 4 shaved into its side.

I’m not sure what statement she was trying to make with this? Yeah, I’m upset that Brett Favre has moved to Minnesota, but let’s be rational abou this. Sacrificing a goat just doesn’t seem like it would be a productive way to prevent this plan from setting into motion.

Lunatics.

Maybe we should expand (rather than continue to cut) the budget for mental health care in the US.

To play or retire?

I’ve come to the conclusion that Brett Favre will never retire. Ever.

Technically he’s done it twice now. Once in 2008 from the Packers, then again in 2009 from the Jets. Even after seeing him “unretire” in ’08 and sign with the Jets, I truly believed this second retirement was for good. After all, he’s old and although he did OK this year, he was falling apart by the end of the season. Yes it saddens me to say this about my dear Mr. Favre, but sometimes you just need to know when to call it a day.

It seems this knowledge is something the man lacks. After re-retiring, and then just 3-weeks ago going on the record as saying he’s gonna stay retired, he’s back. As a Viking.

Yep, that’s right. Brett Favre is now the QB for the Minnesota Vikings.

Jon Stewart vs. Idiocracy

Courtesy of Mario, I just had the privilege of watching Jon Stewart settle once and for all the debate of Barack Obama’s birth. There really are few things that make me as happy as when Jon Stewart comes on comedically points out other reporters’ stupidity. The man has a gift, and this segment is entertaining as hell.

Enjoy!

Tragedies

I’ve always heard that bad things happen in 3s. Like death.

I’ve been getting updates periodically while I’m abroad. And many of them suck. Either this rule of three thing is true or it’s just a really bad time to bee American celebrity.

MJ

Omg I can’t believe Michael Jackson died! A mobile post will hardly do him justice but I felt like I had to say something about it. Just when he had managed to successfully lay low for an extended period of time and not get publicity for all of the weird things that was Michael Jackson, and just when there was talk of a 2010 comeback tour, he drops dead. At only 50 years old that makes it even more of a tragedy. I must say I am truly shocked and saddened by this event. It was truly NOT the email I had expected to read from J this morning.

I have had his songs in my head all day.

“Billie Jean is not my lover….She’s just a girl who says that I am the one …But the kid is not my son”

Farewell MJ.

Baby Brady 2?

Rumor has it that Gisele Bundchen is pregnant.

I’m so infatuated with Tom Brady, and while I would be excited for him that he’s starting (well I guess expanding) his family, it would sadden me because it would significantly reduce the chances of a hot passionate night with him. That of course is assuming I could track him down and seduce him in the first place LOL.

Either way, I’m keeping my eye on this story. Say it ain’t so!

Song Birds

No joke, someone actually tried to smuggle birds into the US from Vietnam. That in itself isn’t too interesting, but the manner in which he did it truly shows some imagination…the man strapped the birds to his legs! He was detained at the airport after someone noticed feathers falling out of his pants. LOL can you imagine seeing this?
