I don't mind sports and I follow a few myself, but I don't get the fervor over college football. And I don't mean, "I'm a nerdy goon that doesn't get sports." I mean college football is a loving joke and I don't understand why anyone takes it seriously. This is a level of football where lovely players like Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel could put up 500 yards per game. It's garbage football. Why does anyone care about this when there's better (i.e. pro) football being played all over the country?

I'm sorry in advance if I piss off any college football fans out there. I just don't understand it. The Michigan/MSU schadenfreude is pretty self-evident, though. That's some good stuff.

The only reason college football is as big/insane/out-of-control as it is is because unlike other professional sports, the NFL does not have any sort of developmental league. This is it.

Also, clearly you've not seen the insanity that is high school football. That's where things are truly frightening.

Cracked (yeah, :jerkbag:, I know) has an article today about why Youtube prank videos suck.


Re: the British train PSA. I think my issue with it (viewing it through the lens of an adult who didn't have the benefit (???) of seeing it as a child) is that the kid sitting on the overpass daydreaming about his perfect train-murder Olympics really seems like a psychopath who doesn't learn anything at the end. His voiceovers talking about the events sound like he still thinks the whole thing is an awesome idea all the way through.


Also, what up, fellow December birthday-havers. Mine is wedged conveniently in between Christmas and New Years. Everyone's burnt out from Christmas and gearing up for New Years celebrations, so nobody gives a gently caress about celebrating my birthday. Which is fine, I suppose, because now that I'm not a kid, I don't either. I have a friend with a May birthday who doesn't understand why I don't give poo poo one about mine.

Crystals do heal people though. Ever since I've been carrying around this energy crystal that I bought from Sedona, AZ I have not had hand cramps. Basically it works by focusing the life energies from Sedona into the toxins in your hand that cause the cramps. Its all proven and totally works. Buy these crystals guys!

Do they work as good as my copper knee brace and my magnetic bracelet? That magnetic bracelet totally saved my sense of balance!

"Jones has deleted her Facebook profile and has complained to Burton, saying she didn't post the message.However, she has still demanded an apology from the bar, claiming they should have had more respect for her as she was eating with firefighters and veterans, even though someone with her that night called in to apologize."

So she was eating with AR HEROZ and people should have some respect for her. Self-serving rear end in a top hat spouts line of poo poo, news at 11.

Firefighters are first-responders. Assuming her claim is true, I imagine said firefighters might have tried to jump in and help the woman in distress, rather than complain about the "junkie OD'ing on the floor." My Truth-O-Meter says "no."

(They don't understand. In the moment, they hate it. It's mean. It's bullying a pet.)

I'm with DATT on this. If the height of hilarity to you is playing cruel pranks on your pet, then you shouldn't own one. Pets trust and love unconditionally, and doing stupid poo poo to them for your own amusement betrays that trust. No wonder your pets hate you.
