Friday Roundup: The “We All Just Pretend To Like Turkey” Edition

It’s not really Friday unless you’re just getting around to reading this on Friday in which case I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving dinner.
Personally, I’m angry with the pilgrims. Why the heck did they start this whole turkey thing? Turkey’s okay, but for my money I’d much rather have a goose. First [...]

Irish Blogger Gathering: The “Subway Domer’s So Cute When He’s Angry” Edition

Subway started this whole Irish Gathering thing and now he’s ending it – assuming the world ends after this week. Otherwise I don’t see much reason we can’t do it all again next year.

What Couldn’t Happen Has Happened, And So We Know What Must Occur

The debate is finished.

What to do with all this rage

I’ve had this problem a lot this year.  What do I do with all this rage?  How can I make my life feel better after giving up yet another large lead in the fourth quarter to an inferior opponent?  And this time losing?  Mother fucking god dammit.

NCAA: “We Are Sofa King Dumb.”

Everyone already knows this, but I wanted to post it for posterity. The NCAA has officially nixed the idea of Notre Dame STUDENTS handing out 8,000 leis to Notre Dame STUDENTS in honor of Hawaiian linebacker prospect Mant’i Teo’s visit to ND this weekend. Reason?
