Puzzle Solved August 13, 2008

 

So the wordle post (below) was a bit of a success, but as I mentioned in the opening line the idea was not mine. The week prior I was surfing Dawg blogs as usual and came across another Dawg fan’s site that introduced me to Wordle. I made a mental note (or so I thought) to do some Wordles on my blog, but link to the genius that started the idea.

I’m apparently older than I feel because for the life of me I could not find the original Dawg blog to h/t. It has been driving me nuts! I cannot stand people who steal creative ideas from others. Its so easy to do on the internet & I see it more & more all the time. Most of you know I have a friend with a hugely successful Dawg blog who’s been dealing with some asshat that’s trying to rip off his blog. So, I’m determined now more than ever to give credit where credit is due.

Dave Akins stopped by and left a comment on my blog yesterday solving the puzzle of who started my wordle addiction. Check out Dave’s wordles - they’re better than mine and the first one is pretty funny. Also he’s a Dawg fan and that’s reason enough to add him to your list of blogs to check out.

Thank you to Dave for giving me back my sanity and letting me finally h/t you!

Dave just wordled some of Larry Munson’s most famous calls and they are amazing. Considering this may be Larry’s last year, that’s a really cool way to honor him. And I’m sure Larry would agree.

Wordle Me This August 9, 2008

 

I stumbled across this idea on a random Georgia blog the other day and thought it was so cool. The only problem…I can’t remember which blog to give credit :-( So if y’all know whose blog I’m ripping, please tell me so I can give them a h/t.

Anyways, on with the show! I’m a little addicted to wordle right now. If you haven’t wordled then you’re missing out. Or you’re just not as bored as I am at the moment. Either way, you’ll love it.

In case you’re curious, wordle is this creative way to word cloud anything. You can create your own or browse other user’s wordles.

I just wordled some lyrics and its your job to figure out the song titles. Click the thumbnail to enlarge the image. So, leave your answers in the comments section and have fun!

He Was Injured July 21, 2008

 

I ran across this tonight on y0utube while watching a Georgia clip from the WLOCP. And its too funny not to share. Enjoy!

 

 

He was injured. Injured bad.

Cutest kid EVER!

The Study Of The White People February 22, 2008

I came across this relatively new blog last week, Stuff White People Like, and can’t stop lurking. Sometimes I don’t know whether to laugh or be offended.

My favs so far are:

#2 Hating their parents
#50 Irony
#62 Knowing what’s best for poor people
#67 Standing still at concerts

No Bars In More Places February 7, 2008

Back in August I switched from Veriz0n to Cingul@r and got what I thought at the time was a cool new red Samsung Sync (Go Dawgs!). I bought into the whole “more bars in more places” thing. What a steaming pile of poo that has been so far.

For the umpteenth time since August my phone decides to drop calls at random…. and always at the most inoportune times.

I was just talking with my best friend. To preface the conversation she says to me “don’t be mad, ok?” I’m listening to her intently and not mad at all actually. And as if on cue, the freakin’ call drops.

So this is what I have to say to Cingul@r…

Don’t Believe I Would’ve Said That… February 6, 2008

In case you haven’t heard, today is National Signing Day for college football. The Dawgs reigned in a stellar class as usual, but with a little drama on the side….thanks a million Dwayne Allen for holding UGA hostage while you waffled on your “commitment.” Oh well, good luck to you kid, enjoy the Champs Sports/Liberty/Meinike Car Care Bowl next December.

Anyways, Dean Legge of the DawgPost caught Coach Rodney Garner trying to make a joke about DA’s defection and early commits. A baaaaad joke, from his wife’s perspective I’m sure.

 

Notice CMR getting up from the table when RG inserts his foot into his collosal mouth. Call me crazy, but I think he’s gonna pay for that one when he gets home. Lol!

Go Dawgs!

Feel The Force January 22, 2008

Since there is so much controversy surrounding American interrogation techniques of terror suspects, I think it’s time we comprimise and drop the whole waterboarding thing for this method:

 

Sweet Jesus, that was hideous! Forcing captured al qaeda militants to listen to this crap is surely tormenting and painful enough to coerce a confession.

Eddie Murphy Predicts The Future January 22, 2008

  

Wonder if he had some money down on this game?

  

I still cannot believe Eli Manning is going to play in the Super Bowl. You’d have to be psychic to have correctly predicted that. My money’s on the Pats by 12. Ugh. Dammit Favre!

  

Best part of the Pats game January 21, 2008

I was home again this weekend still trying to finalize some of my Dad’s business. Its so confusing and enormous, my head is swimming and I’m exhausted all the time lately. So any moment of falling-off-the-couch laughter is an awesome reprieve!

Late yesterday after some family meetings my brother and I went back to his house to watch the first playoff game. Now we’re huge Falcons fans, and we despise the Patriots. I mean come on, who isn’t sick of Bill Belichick’s reign of arrogance, the lying cheating bastard? Clearly I’m not a fan of the “win at any cost” attitude to sports. Color me crazy, but I think you should compete & win via hard work, determination, talent, grit, and respect for the game. Guess I’m just old school like that.

But I digress, realizing quickly I didn’t have a dog in this hunt, besides half-heartedly cheering on Ben Watson & Richard Seymour (DGD’s for sure!), I got bored by the half when it was obvious the Pats were gonna advance to the Super Bowl….again. Ugh.

Then we saw the funniest commercial I’ve seen in a long time. Leave it to Bud Light, and I hate their beer btw, to make one of the best commercials for the playoffs. This should’ve been a Super Bowl ad - its the one with the talking dog saying “sausages” over and over.  Hillarious! I’m telling you I cannot remember laughing this hard in a loooooooong time.

I started looking for it last night and just now found it on youtube. The best part is the squirrel at the end - I’m gonna be saying “Mind your own business Chump!” all week long.

Without the Packers (dammit Favre!) the Super Bowl is gonna suck this year. But if this is any indication of the commercials, I’ll watch it just to get some funny back into my life! ;-)
