Only In Kentucky

Just read this on ESPN and I laughed so I had to post if for other to see.

Cats Lose, State Emergency Ensues (Almost Literally)
Only in Kentucky does this happen:

The struggling Wildcats (38) are beaten on a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left by LSU’s Tasmin Mitchell on Saturday afternoon in Rupp Arena. Shortly thereafter, Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson (39) issues a Twitter blast on the subject:

“Maybe AJ Stewart should consider quitting again if he is going to leave his man wide open for a game winning shot.”

Stewart, a junior forward, was indeed the man guarding Mitchell on the fateful play. And Stewart did indeed briefly quit the Kentucky team last week, only to reconsider and return in short order.

In reality, though, Stewart was doing his job on the play, switching on a screen at the top of the key. It was teammate Kevin Galloway who bungled the defensive assignment by failing to switch off his man (Marcus Thornton) and onto Mitchell.

So Grayson should have hammered Galloway if the state cabinet member felt the need to rip a college kid for contributing to the demise of his favorite team. Grayson updated the following day:

“Perhaps I was too hard on Stewart because maybe Galloway was supposed to switch but I just got some Heaton’s BBQ and will soon feel better.”

After the original Twitter post was picked up by Lexington Herald-Leader columnist John Clay, Grayson was hardly contrite.

“Welcome to readers of John Clay’s blog. Like you, I am a passionate UK fan. And I make no apologies for it. Go Cats!”

So it’s clear that Kentucky players are not under any, you know, pressure or anything. It’s not like a man considered a possible successor to U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning is expressing digital disdain over every missed defensive switch — just the end of game missed switches.

Clearly, the Cats could use some TLC from Ashley Judd (40).

Crusoe

Well, it was good while it lasted. The NBC series based on the old novel just finished its run tonight. Low ratings killed the show. Me and the wife loved the it, watched every week. But it wasn’t a reality show and cost too much money to make so buh-bye.

Back to one hour less of quality show on TV.

Barak has 4 years to save the world!!!

Paul over at Conservative Principles found this little gem and I just had to share.

From Conservative Principles:

Only Four Years Left to Save Environmentalism

Catch this load of BS from James Hansen via climate-resistance.org:

Barack Obama has only four years to save the world. That is the stark assessment of Nasa scientist and leading climate expert Jim Hansen who last week warned only urgent action by the new president could halt the devastating climate change that now threatens Earth. Crucially, that action will have to be taken within Obama’s first administration, he added.
The guys name is Jim Hansen?  I would have though it was Jim Henson and that this was actually a quote from Kermit the Frog on the Muppet News Flash.

Muppet News Flash

Just got this from a friend and had to share.

Here is a muppet news flash……..

President Obama, some labeled the Messiah, has been in office just over 24 hours and the recession continues. But that didn’t stop the President from having the most expensive inauguration in history at just over 160 million dollars. When questioned about how much it is costing the government, President Obama just smiled and said, “The government will get that money back from the taxpayers.” Then President Obama walked across the water of the Washington Memorial pool. In this reporters eyes HE is truly the Savior…..back to you in the muppet studios……

How cold is it?

This is how cold it is.

You know how the inside of your nose is basically one big mucus membrane so it’s pretty much always moist? Well this morning, as soon as the first breath of cold air hit that moisture in my nose, it all froze rock solid. It felt like I had one giant booger up there.

But on a positive note, my baby girl slept all night again last night. She didn’t make it two nights in a row, but two out of three ain’t too shabby!!

WOO-HOO!!!

The baby girl slept all night again last night!! Let’s hope she can make it two nights in a row!!

That is all.

My recent 15 minutes of fame

Well that was cool. For the past week I have had almost 1000 hits. Turned out it was because of my birthday post back in March. If you had searched on google images for the term “birthday monkey” or just “birthday” I was the first result that popped up. Led to lots of hits. But all good things must come to an end. Oh well, fun while it lasted. This is the picture everyone was grabbing. I’m not even on the first 8 pages of google images anymore.

THIS IS (not supposed to be) SPARTA!!!

I read this post by Marc over at Bugskippy the other day and I couldn’t help but totally agree with what he had to say. His post is all about how the ancient Spartans child rearing methods compare to our modern cultures. I never would have even dreamed up the connection, but after Marc laid it all out, I just had to post up a link to it so that my 4 readers could see it too

Take a look, its worth a few minutes of your time.

THIS IS (not supposed to be) SPARTA!!!

I’m back!!

Ok, it’s been over a month since I posted anything and I have no real excuse for that.  Lots has been going on though so I am gonna just do a brain dump and post out a bunch of stuff.  Maybe.

Here goes……

Stupid survey

Over at Fiscal Musings a few weeks ago there was a post about getting paid for surveys through a website called Opinion Outpost. That place is awesome and I have made over $100 from their site.

I also use another site for surveys though that I won’t name, because I am about to badmouth them.

Today I got a survey opportunity through this other site. As I was working through it, it asked me about a bunch of different television stations, and whether I watch them or not. One in particular was ABC Family. I don’t watch ABC Family, and I indicated that in the survey. Well, after I indicated I didn’t watch it, the survey got more specific, asking only questions about ABC Family. Seeing as how I don’t watch it, it was really easy to answer the questions they had about it.

So I go through this ten minute long survey and finally get to the end. All seems well. I click the finish button and it takes me to the screen that usually credits the award for completing the survey. Only this time it says, “Sorry, you completed the survey faster then 95% of the other survey participants so we feel that you did not give enough thought to your answers.”

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!

Come on, I specifically pointed out that I didn’t watch the channel that all the questions were about. Of course I didn’t have to put much thought into my answers. They could have had the decency of kicking me out of the survey earlier.

Retarded thing.
