football, friends, fun and NATURE!

Despite the fact that the Razorbacks lost, it was a good weekend.

First of all, the Hogs have a passing game. This is welcome news to all of Arkansas, as we haven’t seen our little piggies throw and catch the ball in years. Actually probably a decade. We could’ve won the game (we should’ve won the game) but we had a player get ejected and the coach got an additional penalty and then the team kinda fell apart after that.

Plus, even though we have an offense; the defense (for either team) was pretty much non-existent. Maybe they should work on that some this week. Just a suggestion.

I saw my friend Debra Parmley who did a book signing at Words Worth books not far from my house. Debra lives a couple of hours away from me, so it was nice to be able to pop over for a quick visit:And then I had Robyn’s bday party to go to. There was dancing, and dancing, and dancing! OH MY! Sunday I walked with @jennchristman and it turned into a nature hike. We saw several deer, a couple of heron, a turtle convention (seriously, I’ve never seen that many turtles on one log before in my life), an alien egg (wish I had gotten a pic of it. When the pod people take over, don’t say I didn’t warn ya) and a tee-tiny little green snake. It was a naturiffic!

Did you have a good weekend? Do anything fun?

happy birthday and WOO PIG SOOIE!

It’s Robyn’s Birthday! Welcome to the 40 is fantastic club! See you tonight!! (This picture was taken after my launch party was over back in August. Robyn was the hostess with the mostest!)

Also, after a week off, my little piggies are playing the Georgia Bullfrogsdogs tonight.

Go Hogs! Beat Dawgs!

Y’all have a great weekend. And thanks to dealbreaker.com for linking to my Melissa Francis CNBC interview. Welcome to all the new Melissa Francis looky-loos. Pull up a chair and stay a while. My legs might not be as great as hers, but I’m pretty awesome nonetheless.

getting ready

I’m not sure what’s up here lately, but fall has definitely been in the air here in The Rock. And that’s just not right for August in Arkansas. Usually, it’s 110 degrees with 120% humidity right now.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly not complaining. I’ve really enjoyed sleeping with the windows open and the cool mornings on my back porch with my cup of coffee. It’s been very nice.

And it’s also making me VERY ready for football.

Now I know y’all all know I love me some soccer. Both my boys play, and seriously, the grown up soccer players are just fun to look at. This is a soccer household no question.

However, I’m a football girl at heart. Especially college, though I love to watch high school as well and will watch professional, but I think of most of them as spoiled rotten overpaid babies who have stopped playing for the love of the game. Plus why hasn’t Matt Jones been picked up yet? I’m seriously bent out of shape about that. He was one of my favorite Razorbacks…

I’ve decided I’m going to some games this year, come hell or high water. I talked about it last year, but never really made it to any. Sure I love to watch them on TV, but there’s nothing better than being in the stadium…Have you heard a Hog Call live? It will bring you chills.
Click here to listen…then pretend you’re in a filled stadium and hearing it live.

and just for fun, here’s my favorite Arkansas fight song…performed by Shirley Q. Liquor.
“The Razorbackses is up in here, YES LAWD!”

Woo Pig Sooie!

chuck norris and the razorbacks…

My new favorite picture:
Back in November 2005 I posted this original Chuck Norris list. I’ll repost below.

Here are a few new ones: (thanks to Jimmy the K for forwarding them on–especially the picture. smooches)

When Chuck Norris jumps in a pool, he doesn’t get wet.
The water gets Chucked.

Guns don’t kill people. Chuck Norris kills People.

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris
allows to live.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

The chief export of Chuck Norris is Pain.

There is no chin under Chuck Norris’ Beard. There is only another fist.

Chuck Norris has two speeds. Walk, and Kill.

The leading causes of death in the United States are: 1. Heart Disease
2. Chuck Norris 3. Cancer

Chuck Norris drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls.

Here’s the original:

Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Chuck Norris does not have AIDS but he gives it to people anyway.

Chuck Norris has yet to get a Jeopardy question wrong. Jesus has missed two.

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother’s womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.

When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail his family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He also requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on his back. He always makes it to Oregon before you.

Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK’s head exploded out of sheer amazement.

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face andtook his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn’t stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

A man once asked Chuck Norris if his real name is “Charles”. Chuck Norris did not respond, he simply stared at him until he exploded. Chuck Norris’s girlfriend once asked him how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. He then shouted, “HOW DARE YOU RHYME IN THE PRESENCE OF CHUCK NORRIS!” and ripped out her throat. Holding his girlfriend’s bloody throat in his hand he bellowed, “Don’t fuck with Chuck!” Two years and five months later he realized the irony of this statement and laughed so hard that anyone within a hundred mile radius of the blast went deaf.

Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull. The original theme song to the Transformers was actually “Chuck Norris–more than meets the eye, Chuck Norris–robot in disguise,” and starred Chuck Norris as a Texas Ranger who defended the earth from drug-dealing Decepticons and could turn into a pick-up. This was far too much awesome for a single show, however, so it was divided.

Chuck Norris can make a woman climax by simply pointing at her and saying “booya”.

Chuck Norris was the fourth Wiseman. He brought baby Jesus the gift of “beard”. Jesus wore it proudly to his dying day. The other Wisemen, jealous of Jesus’ obvious gift favoritism, used their combined influence to have Chuck omitted from the Bible. Shortly after all three died of roundhouse kick related deaths.

To prove it isn’t that big of a deal to beat cancer. Chuck Norris smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and aquired 7 different kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30 minutes. Beat that, Lance Armstrong.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

Chuck Norris once shot a German plane down with his finger, by yelling, “Bang!”

Chuck Norris lives by only one rule: No Asian Chicks.

The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

Chuck Norris once went to a frat party, and proceeded to roundhouse every popped collar in sight. He then drank three kegs and shit on their floor, just because he’s Chuck Norris.

After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending Chuck Norris. His reasoning? It was more “humane”.

Chuck Norris found out about Conan O’Brien’s lever that shows clips from “Walker: Texas Ranger” and is working on a way to make it show clips of Norris having sex with Conan’s wife.

Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can’t see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.

Chuck Norris punched a woman in the vagina when she didn’t give him exact change.

One of the greatest cover-ups of the last century was the fact that Hitler did not commit suicide in his bunker, but was in fact tea-bagged to death by Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris took my virginity, and he will sure as hell take yours If you’re thinking to yourself, “That’s impossible, I already lost my virginity.”, then you are dead wrong.

Hellen Keller’s favorite color is Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris often asks people to pull his finger. When they do, he roundhouses them in the abdomen. Then he farts.

At the end of each week, Chuck Norris murders a dozen white people just to prove he isn’t a racist.

i’m a loser…but i’m having fun

So, Marley wins…I mean, ‘Bama wins. We sucked. It sucked. I drank and didn’t care after a while. But I still love my Piggies and I’m still a Houston Nutt supporter. Go Hogs. Sorry you brought home the big L tonight.

After the game and many beers, we pulled out the Fishdog’s new Mac Powerbook. I love this machine. I love typing on it and I love the fact that I can take funky pictures with it.

go hogs go!


WOO PIG SOOIE!

Spank ‘Bama!

Today, my friend becomes my “enemy”. I love you, Marley. But today, we must fight.

For those who are interested, last year my Piggies beat ‘Bama in 2 overtimes…It was ugly, but I was wearing my beer goggles so ugly didn’t matter….
