It's Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine!

So I opened up my email today to find a great selection of Ohio State jokes, sent to me by Nikki's mom, a HUGE MSU fan. How great is that? I am feeling good about the game. I don't think it's a sign of bad luck that Bo passed away, now we've got him up in heaven rooting for the Wolverines, and our players will play harder to make sure they give Bo a good send off. GO BLUE!

And now, for your enjoyment, some good Buckeye jokes, courtesy of Nik's mom:

A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Wanna hear an Ohio State joke?" The guy replies, "Well, before you tell that joke, you should know something. I am 6' tall, 200 lbs. and I am an Ohio State Graduate. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", 225 lbs. and he is an Ohio State Graduate. The guy right next to him is 6'5", 250 lbs. and he is also an Ohio State Graduate. Now, you still wanna tell me that joke?" The first guy says, "No, not if I'm going to have to explain it three times"

What does the average Ohio State student get on his SAT?

Four college Alumni were climbing a mountain one day: A OSU grad, a Michigan grad, a Penn State grad, and a Notre Dame grad. Each proclaimed to be the most loyal fan of their alma mater. As they climbed higher, they argued as to which of them was the most loyal of all. They continued to argue all the way to the top when the Notre Dame grad hurled himself off the mountainside shouting, "This is for the fighting Irish!" Not wanting to be out done, the Penn State grad threw himself off the mountain proclaiming, "This is for the Nittany Lions!" Seeing this, the Michigan grad walked over and shouted, "This is for the Wolverines!" and pushed the Ohio State grad off the mountain.

A young man hired by a supermarket reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and smile, gave him a broom and said, "Your first job will be to sweep the store." "But, I'm a Ohio State graduate," the young man replied indignantly, "I even played football there!" "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," said the manager. "Here, give me the broom, I'll show you how."

Two Ohio State football players were hootin' and hollerin' while partying on campus when a bartender asked them why they were celebrating. The smart one said proudly that they had just finished a jigsaw puzzle and it only took them two months. "Two months?!" exclaimed the bartender. The Buckeye proudly replied, "Yeah, the box said 4 - 6 years!"


A Buckeye football player was almost killed today in a tragic horseback riding accident. He fell from the horse and was nearly trampled to death. Luckily, the manager of the Wal-Mart came out and unplugged the horse just in time.

What are the three longest years of an Ohio State football player's life? His freshman year.

Big Pimpin'

So right now Cinemax is giving every Star Wars fan their greatest dream come true: they are airing all of the movies, in story order, back to back. First time ever on television. So, being the Star Wars fan that I am, I'm watching them. (I already watched them all in On Demand!)

I realized while watching The Empire Strikes Back that Han Solo is the biggest pimp of all time. After his buddy Lando sells him out to Darth Vader, right as he is about to go into the carbon freeze, Chewbacca freaks out and starts knocking Imperial troopers off the platform. Han tells him he's gotta cut that shit out because Chewy has to look after Princess Leia now, then he kisses Leia and some troopers grab him and put him in place to get frozen. He's looking at Leia, Leia's looking at him, and she says, "I love you!" And you know what Han Solo says? He says, "I know." And then they deep freeze his ass. Pimpin'! No tears, no fear, no, "I love you too." Just, "I know."

Yeah, I love Star Wars.

Our HBO/Cinemax rep was at work on Friday and she had an Internet scavenger hunt for us to do for the chance to win some pretty cool Star Wars gear from Cinemax. So I was reading an interview with George Lucas and found out that there are actually three more episodes! Episodes 7, 8, & 9. Which he says he's planning on making -- with as many original cast members as possible. But filming won't start until at least 2017, which is like what 40 years after the original trilogy came out? Get ready for an 80 year old Han Solo!! Hahahaha.... At least I'll have that to look forward to when I'm in my thirties.

This Virgo Likes A Leo

And not just any Leo... Leonardo DiCaprio. Yes, I admit, I had pictures of him from Bop magazine hanging all over my bedroom walls when I was 10, 11, 12 and 13. (As well as Jason Priestly, Luke Perry, and Ethan Hawke.) Back then he was just another pretty face. As it turns out, little Leo can actually ACT!

Last night Shaun and I went to go see Martin Scorsese's new movie, "The Departed." In addition to Leo, it also stars Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, and Alec Baldwin. As if that weren't enough, Brad Pitt was one of the (executive?) producers. Although Shaun hated the ending, I thought it was amazing. I see serious Oscar nominations coming its way, and maybe even one for Leo.

It's amazing that the little pretty boy went from this:


To this:


I mean, wow. So anyway, back to the movie. I don't want to ruin anything, but I will say that it lives up to its name, and somehow Scorsese still manages to find surprising ways to off people. Go see it, but pee first, cuz it is 2.5 hours long.
