- Hope it was a safe and happy holiday for folks out there. I made it down to the great Athens, Ga. to watch UGA beat Ga. Tech in the last game of the season. I got a text from my friend Sparkles (who my friend Steph and I ended up sitting with) letting me know that Samuel L. Jackson was at the game, and on the field specifically. “There are snakes in this motherf’n stadium!” the text read. Love you Sparkles. In any event, Jackson is also apparently a fan of the Atlanta Falcons, who, let’s face it, are moving up the awesome chain. So, cool man. Welcome aboard Mr. Jackson!
- Cool.
- Just started following this story. I agree with Allahpundit: while it’s ingenious to cyberattack the nefarious to stall operations, it’s a risky endeavor because technology — as we are learning with the whole Wikileaks fiasco — is secure and controllable only to a degree. And I hesitate to write that because I do not advocate further control of the public internet domain. But I do advocate further understanding of the technology by the general public. The general public should take it upon themselves to be better educated about a lot of things. But that’s another rant for another time.
- Speaking of rants, my Fleury friend reminded me of this one. Made my day. “I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah… holy shit! Where’s the Tylenol?” ~Clarke W. Griswold
- Yay! This is my favorite of the books. Happy birthday Clive!
- Things I learned about the SEC from my dad while relaxing on Thanksgiving Day:
- It is the best conference because any team, at any time, can win against any other team. “There are no patsies in the SEC. Any team could kick your a** on any given day,” Pop said.
- Derek Dooley may be a lot like his father. Tennessee should be excited.
- Alabama should have beaten Auburn. But then, Georgia should have as well.
- Why is Hillary Clinton giving the official statement about the Wikileaks stuff? The boss said Obama is “hiding behind her pantsuit.” Which is funny. But not really.
- Finally, one of the great things about going home is that there were people at the game in camouflage, with huge dips of tobacco in their mouths, while country music played during the ESPN commercial breaks at the UGA game. And none of it was intended to be ironic. Good to be amongst my people again. Speaking of country music, my sister Juje made me a traveling disc and included this song. Heh. A good one to hear again. You can take the girl out of the South as they say…
