I laughed out loud when I read this rundown of the weekend’s college football action. My favorite part: “Miami (Florida) will not be playing this week, allowing the players to snort coke off hookers’ asses with Darryl Strawberry and Michael Irvin. I’m sorry. That was harsh and uncalled for. I didn’t mean it. What I meant to say was: ‘Miami (Florida) will not be playing this week, allowing them to further prepare themselves for the no-doubt arduous midterm exams that are coming up.’”

Scary.
I’ve been trying not to get too political on here… but I had to post this. Gov. Bush’s office ignored murder confession. Scary, people.

Mets win!
I’m in such a blogging mood today. Mets win again! I’m torn between the drama of a subway series and my desire to see one of the lower-budget teams make it to the championship. *sigh*

Quiz
Yet another fun quiz. (Hey, it’s Friday! Cut me some slack.) This one asks you to identify songs that aren’t named after their most catchy lyrics. It’s pretty damn funny. I only got 5 out of 8 though.

Chocolate
How well do you know your chocolate? This site shows you cross-sections of various sweets and candy bars and asks you to identify what they are. Some are harder than you think. (And at least one goes by the British name, but if you can’t recognize that it’s really an M&M, you probably shouldn’t play anyway.)

On the Cover
NBC is developing a new game show titled “On the Cover,” which will quiz contestants on “pop culture trivia and the images featured on the covers of popular magazines, books, CDs, movie posters, TV title sequences and classic albums.” It’s supposed to be a cross between Entertainment Tonight and Jeopardy. KICKASS! The episode to end all episodes: Kristine Howard vs. Kelly McMahon vs. Sal Scherer vs. Liz McKillop.

An easy way to do a good deed: use your computer to fight AIDS. Really.

Grrrr.
Grrrr. Remember I told you about the female kicker who is suing North Carolina because she claims she was cut from the football team for being female? Predictably, N.C. is claiming that they cut her because she just wasn’t good enough. Which I could understand… except for the fact that she testified that her coach “told her she should give up kicking footballs and perhaps give beauty pageants a try.”

Norm!
Wow! I didn’t know that Norm from “Cheers” went to Notre Dame! And apparently he lived in Pangborn!

Rice
I always thought Charles Rice was a bit of bully and an asshole. Another student agrees with me.
