January 29, 2010 Roger Goodell, Commissioner National Football League 280 Park Avenue, 15th Floor New York, NY 10017
Dear Commissioner Goodell:
I was stunned to learn recently that the NFL is taking the position that it owns the exclusive trademark of the term “Who Dat” and has even threatened legal action against some mom-and-pop merchants selling t-shirts using the term. I would...
The MANATEES ARE FREEZING!! →
Quick! Everybody! Run outside and turn your car on, spray hairspray into the air, and burn plastics in a huge bonfire! If you live near a glacier, turn your hairdryer on that SOB! The manatees need us!
Whoops! →
Did anyone else see this and immediately think, “I bet that girl who “tripped” into the Picasso is actualy an accomplished thief who stole the original of the painting and replaced it with a masterful fake, and she will now engage a police officer slash private investigator hired by the insurance company in many cat and mouse-type capers spanning continents for the next month before she goes to...

Why do so many people hate Shockey? I can’t get a straight answer. Is it because he never washes his hair?
He’s always been pretty polarizing, right? I think he’s a brash, beer drinking, cocky S.O.B. that doesn’t care if you like him or not. People who just don’t give a fuck really bother lots of people for some reason.
Oh, and he never washes his...
The Heart of New Orleans →
I dare you not to cry, Saints fans.
Confusion at work:
Megan, putting on lipgloss: Do you know when that championship game is?
me (horrified): The SUPERBOWL?
Advice:
Sarah: duuuh, i know how to play this i know how to talk to boyz. kind of. me: umm i think if either of us really knew how to talk to boyz, the situation would look quite diferent Sarah: VERY TRUE me: we know how to talk to boys as if we are their intellectual equals, and more often, superiors, and are more aware of all things political, literary, and current events than they are. i know...

I watched the GGs with the avclub’s liveblog up the entire time, and it made it about 100 times more enjoyable. This quote took place after RDJ won for, well, Sherlock Holmes, and I was hiccuping and crying for at least 10 minutes afterwards. I’m sure it’s not as funny out of context, but it was hilarious at the time!
Every New Orleans Saints Fan Needs to Read This →
thetalkinghead:
Then Reblog. What we all know, but have never written. This guy hits the nail on the head. Take a look inside of my brain.
Saints go 14-3 on Saturday. Cardnials make good gumbo. Who Dat!
To the more sensible and ladylike of the persons who happen to read my tumblr: skip this one. If you are offended by language or unsubtle sexual innuendo, maybe you should watch the Got...

He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

Simon and Garfunkel to play Jazz Fest →
sydvish:
Simon & Garfunkel have been added to the first weekend of this year’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, marking the lone U.S. performance the legendary duo will make in 2010. The pair will perform on Saturday, April 24th, the second day of the festival, which runs until May 2nd. Simon is a vet of the Big Easy’s Jazz Fest; he performed there with the Neville Brothers in the...
Dear UT (Tennessee) fans:
If all that time, you were wondering why LSU fans hate Nick Saban so much, well, look no further! You’ve now got your own scumbag to loathe! Except, imagine that two seasons from now, Kiffin is coaching at, not the school he left for, cause that didn’t work out so great, but instead at Florida, your arch-enemy, and has beat you two seasons in a row, and just won a national title at...

Carroll, NFL still a lousy fit →
So stupid. Money turns intelligent men into blithering idiots. Crash and Burn, Pete, Crash Override and Acid Burn.
“Although Carroll deserves credit for securing a nice paycheck in this move, there’s little else about the decision that makes sense. It’s as if Carroll dismissed all the recent struggles of other head coaches who jumped from college to the NFL. Nick Saban...
Manning claims fourth MVP in landslide →
BOOOOOO. Drew Brees is the heart, soul, and beating pulse of the Saints. No player is more valuable to his team, his franchise, and his city. Another MVP for Manning, YAWN. This is like getting excited that Michael Phelps swam fast yesterday.
The White House will not say when President... →
Hahahahahha. Finally. We have a president who understands what is really important.
“Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, told reporters today […] ‘I don’t foresee a scenario in which the millions of people that hope to finally get some conclusion in ‘Lost’ are preempted by the president.’”
It's 29 degrees in Austin.

How do you northerners stand this for extended periods of time?!? Give me 110 degree Summers any day!
Just wanted to say that in Baton Rouge schools closed today because it was too cold. “Back when I was in school”, we had closures a lot for false hurricane alarms, but never for the weather being too uncomfortable. I know, I know, they didn’t want people driving in case the...
The most important question of our time:

Trivial Pursuit Outrage →
A friend of my friend put this on their blog, and I felt it was tumblr-worthy:
“As far as I am concerned, there is only one Trivial Pursuit: the original Genus Edition from the 1980s. All subsequent games have been exercises not in trivia, not in the knowledge of human esoterica, but in worthless, embarrassing pop culture and general Idiocracy. If someone under the age of 18 can answer a...

He might not have dethroned Nadal in my “hottest tennis players” list quite yet, but he is certainly making an argument for himself.
