“Palin and her husband have five children, Bristol, Piper, Track, Willow, and...”
– 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Sarah Palin - US News and World Report (via skeetonmischa)
This doesn’t mention she’s a Nascar fan, but those names say otherwise. Wow.
Avoiding the fray today...
My opinion on all this female VP biznass and Obama’s speech and other such things is not yet fully formed and ready to be packaged. And my vote is currently undecided, but I will say this: Sarah Palin — good name!

Upsets
shorterexcerpts:
Pssst, I’ll throw it out here again (and then hush up as the game looms) but I still have this funny feeling in my tummy that Ole Miss gets their first Crazy Ass Houston Nutt’s Patented Upset Special over the Gators this year.
That would make the other men in my life (and me) very, very happy. My poor father prays every year for Ole Miss to be good and he never gets his wish....

A short list of (unlikely) upsets, and how happy they’d make me on the Schadenfreude Scale.
Hawai’i over Florida - Sure, odds are the team formerly known as the Rainbow Warriors will be taking a 12-hour flight home after losing by more than half-a-dozen TDs. But it would be sweet if they somehow won a shootout (ideally involving several overtimes and cramping from all of UF’s...

fusioned:
I was not. But I worked at Banana Republic for 1.5 years and fucked half the employees there.
EDIT: Wait. Who actually wants to WORK at A&F?
At 17, I thought I was the height of cool while working there. NOW so embarrassed to admit that, especially because it is a racist, fucked up company.
Clayton schools lose accreditation | ajc.com →
catedunn:
“The 50,000-student school system is the first in the nation to lose accreditation since 1969, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools announced today.”
This is really so sad. The students, of course, are the major losers here.
Regrets.
The bar we were at for the My Morning Jacket afterparty last night, Bazaar (next to The Fox), puts on a drag show every Wednesday night. It was downstairs and the party was upstairs but I was working as a “door-bitch” — what’s your name? I don’t see you on the list. — downstairs so had a front row seat to the drag festivities. So much fun, and me without my...
A public apology
jgh:
pocketnovel:
Since this all went wrong in public, it is only fitting that I apologize in public as well.
Darling, I am so, so sorry. To put it simply, I fucked up. BIg time. I got caught up in my own words, and ended up exaggerating for the sake of my “following,” my “audience,” my “narrative.” I was dishonest. I broke your trust. I prioritized my self-importance over you. I get...

Texas Has A Whorehouse In It!
Do you think anyone would know who I was if for Halloween I went as Miss Mona from The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas? I guess I could just go as Dolly, which I’ve always wanted to do… hmmm.

Take USC giving 19.5 to Virginia. You can spend the $$ now.
Take Florida giving 35.5 to Hawaii. No June Jones. No Colt Brennan. No way Hawaii covers in The Swamp.
Take Alabama getting 5 vs. Clemson. SEC vs. ACC?? Please.
I don’t bet or gamble ever, but I would take the first 2, not the last though.
Georgia SAT scores drop; state now ranks 47th →
I really don’t understand how to compare these new SAT scores anymore with my SAT score from 2000 when I was a senior. A perfect score is 2400 now but Georgia only has an average of 1466, what would be like the median score of incoming UGA freshman now? Is a score of 2000 considered amazing or would that be on par with like a 1350-1400 of the past?

Sent her this email: “mom… can you make me some baked potato soup tonight? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.” I’ve gotten no response in 2 hours and that woman has fingers of fire on her blackberry. Also I walked out of my room last night and said, “Mom, I’m craving chocolate, can’t you make brownies or something?” She said, “why don’t you learn to...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I hate the Daves. Orson feels differently though.

When I’m home alone I can’t walk by a window with out hurrying past. For the fear of someone looking in at me.
I’m a peeping tom. I regularly watch my neighbors fuck. Hard not to when they do it on the couch, in front of the window, blinds open, at night, lights on. They’re good-looking though so I don’t mind.

Seriously. I hope all those couples go down in flames because they drive me insane.

Agreed. Suggestion: “Stroll of Satisfaction” … that’s all I got.
Tornado Warning Funtimes
It’s a stormin’ and crazy shit is happenning. This is how I’m going to explain the fact that I just spilled half a box of newly opened Kashi cereal all over the floor. I opened the box, set it on the counter, turn to grab a bowl and maybe I placed the box too close to the edge but it flipped and spilled half the contents of the box all over the very clean kitchen floor. It was...
