Hating WVU

Personally I have a soft spot for WVU even though they are supposed to be a hated rival.  I can't bring myself to hate teams that I really want to pat on the head for trying.  See eg: AZ Cardinals, San Diego Padres, Golden State Warriors.  On Deadspin's guide to hating college teams, the WVU entry stands out as hilarious, esp. if you have ever actually been to WV. 

8. West Virginia

You might think West Virginians burn couches after games because they're inbred redneck dumbshits who don't know any better, but that's not quite true. The truth is, the burning of couches is the state's #1 way of producing energy. Remember, West Virginia has no electricity or infrastructure of any kind. Burning couches provides them necessary heat for cooking varmints, as well as light needed for crafting letter bombs and identifying the sibling, parent, or stablemate they REALLY want to get in the hay with that night. In fact, look at this energy consumption chart provided to me by the state's Chamber of Commerce, which is located in one of the state's famous "planned hole communities". It's a fascinating look at how the majority of the state's energy reserves are laid out:

35% Burning couches
25% Biting Wintergreen Lifesavers in the dark
15% Burning Mrs. Throckmorton's lodge and decrying "all those Christmas dudes"
10% Burning crosses on lawns they thought belonged to Rich Rodriguez, only to realize they got the addresses mixed up
7% Hydroelectric beaver dams
5% Miniature wind farm outside Betty Lou's Chili Bowl restaurant (only restaurant in state)
2% Breathalyzer turbines
1% Rubbing coonskin caps together

Beats foreign oil!


On an unrelated late night note, what is up with the NBC coverage of the Olympics? From the time I've watched, it seems like the only events in the Bejing Olympics are Beach Volleyball, Swimming, Gymnastics and Boxing. I expect coverage to jump from air pistol to weightlifting to rowing to judo.  As far as I can tell, NBC only has 3 sets of cameras.  Still doesn't justify CNBC/UHD only showing boxing. Literally hours of boxing.

They just called 48 but alas, I clutch 86 in my sweaty, grubby, desperate grip. I'm downtown and I chose to park on the street but I was only able to scrounge 1 quarter. That's worth 7.5 min of downtown street rental time. Instead of inserting it right away, I purchased a novelty mug at the tourism information booth. Even with purchase, lady was reluctant to part with change. Motioned towards inkjet printout affixed to do that clearly, bluntly, NO CHANGE. The Pittsburgh tourism authority must have a serious quarter shortage, because even after my novelty mug purchase (Pittsburghese! Phrases real pittsburgers say!) she gave me two quarters and a bunch of pennies and nickels. Nickels! I bought the mug with no protest, and you ducked me over lady! Then I go to get my 22.5 minutes of street time and the meter is broken. Honest to god, the lady in front of me is snoring. She is stoned, if her voice I heard earlier is any indication.Now I feel bad because the snorer's mother is sitting next to me. Drug addiction is a family problem. An autistic lady started shouting, because she didn't fully comprehend the "take a number" system. "that lady cut in front of me! Son of a bitch! That lady cut! She can do what she wants son of a bitch." looks like shouting gets you to the head of the class because this lady, no97, is being helped. ...time to put on the water works.....

Never Google Image Search "Placenta".

Sometimes celebrities are stupid and tell people what to do.  Sometimes celebs speak sense about things, and have to apologize for being too straightforward.  Really all we want is for our celebrities to be slightly insane enough to constantly stay in the limelight.  I was going to hyperlink that sentence, but just look up Clay Aiken's in vitro conceived son's birth, and anything about Tom Cruise's private life. And this doozy of insanity.  Matthew McConaughey saved his son's placenta, and planted it in an orchard.  ! .      
 

McConaughey says he hopes it will fertilize the land, a ritual long followed in several cultures.

"It's going to be in the orchards and it's going to bear some wonderful fruit," he says, according to an interview transcript. "When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river ... and all the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan, whatever aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength.

If you are going to plant it fine, but what do you really expect it to grow into?  A giant placenta? A human baby? Celebs love babies also.  The top five stories on people right now are all about people and their babies.  18 years from now, I can't wait to see the harvest  of the fully grown up crop of these babies.  It should make a great reality holovision show.

Life Lessons.

Speaking of kitthans,
 
Collins was arrested March 13 after he was accused of forcing his daughter to stab Boots, the family's eight-month-old feline, with a knife. The girl and Collins' 11-year-old son said their father ordered them to stab the cat because he wanted them to "learn to kill."

Police said the defendant's son tried to hide the cat from his father, but that Collins was able to find the animal and strangled it as his children looked on.

Authorities said Boots had suffered a broken leg, broken teeth, a bruised ear, ripped lip and two stab wounds, but died as a result of being strangled.


I wish I could disagree with the guy, but sooner or later, everyone has to learn the facts of life.  One of which, of course, is learning to kill housepets.  Once I was asking my mom which childhood pets my parents had to put down.  I was assuming our dog which was "sent to a farm" was put down.  My mom and dad swear to this day they sent that dog to a farm in upstate PA.  It might have been a Asian Youth farm, I can't know. However, after my mom avowed she did not kill Cassie, our dog, she admitted that our hamster didn't escape to the forest.  One day, in expectation of cleaning the cage, she put the hamster out on our deck.  I was told that Harv escaped to the forest to be with his family.  I spent the day looking for him, and never questioned the veracity of the tale.  Perhaps he wanted to go find Cassie at her farm. 
Turns out, Harv expired, feet up, tongue lolling.  If I could go any way I think that would be it-  Waiting for my alien ant overlords to clean my cage, cooked by the red sun's rays irradiating through an atmosphereless sky.
