The perfect way to fight the terrorist....

I ran across Momma's myspace site and she has a very interesting idea for fighting the terrorist. As anybody who knows me will attest, this plan is very endearing to me. The only thing better that Momma's plan would be to put them on Fainting Goats.....

Momma's Plan For Fighting Terrorism
a.k.a: The Untapped Natural Resource

As long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by midgets. Black midgets, white midgets, old midgets, young midgets, fat midgets, etc. you get the idea, Momma likes them all. Recently I was watching TV and coming down from a jenkem induced high when a program about midget physiology came on one of the Discovery channels. Among many other fascinating facts, Momma learned that midgets are very strong and can lift heavy objects better than normal people because they are so low to the ground and have better leverage. Think about a midget doing a bench press, he's only got a few inches to lift instead of a few feet! That is when Momma came up with a foolproof plan for fighting terrorists and countries that hate us because we are free; midgets are essential in this venture.
First, we will scour the country for the finest midget stock, and 10,000 of the strongest and most intelligent midgets will be selected and brought to Momma's underground desert compound in Goldfield, Nevada. There, round-robin death match tournaments will be held until only 1000 of the fittest midgets remain. This elite 10% will spend 16hrs a day working out and training in various marshal arts and weapons. After a few years of this they will be harder than granite; they will kill without compunction or hesitation.
So why midgets? Simple, they offer many advantages on the modern battlefield. As mentioned before, they are strong; one super midget could easily carry a wounded comrade under each arm, and one on it's back. Also, they present much less of a target than a six foot person, it's much harder to hit a two to three foot target. Last and most importantly, they present the ability to deal a major blow to the enemy's morale. Imagine the humiliation Al-Qaeda insurgents will suffer as wave after wave of their mujahideen fighters are slaughtered by seemingly innocuous little people. The super midgets will form death squads to eliminate local terrorist sympathizers, real or imagined, thus winning the hearts and minds of the local population.

Sir Manny

Scott Miller writing for CBS Sports has a good read about the Sox pounding of Cleveland last night. He was talking about C.C. Sebathia's (Indians Game 1 Starter) basically being Manny's biatch and had this to say...

Which brings Manny -- or, the man C.C. soon legally will be required to refer to simply as "Sir" -- to .609 lifetime against Sabathia (14-for-23) with four home runs and five walks.

From this day forward, he shall be known as Sir Manny...

Rutgers student body shows real class.... NOT!!!!

I find myself really saddened by what College football is becoming. To see what Rutgers Student body did(even a small group of your students still reflect to the rest of us as the student body) in pretty much a blow-out game against Navy pretty much sucked. Let me say for starters that I am a former Marine and a die hard LSU fan so I know a thing or two about the Navy and about unruly fans (LSU fans can get out of control at times) that what happened there is NOT what College Football is about.

Let me explain what I am talking about here. Tiger Stadium, better known as Death Valley, is quite possibly one of the loudest places to play football on earth (Name another stadium who's fans actually recorded an earth moving event) and you have to keep in mind that the SEC does not allow artificial noise makers with the exception of Miss. State and there Cow Bells. Not a fan of any cow bell that Christopher Walken is not a fan of, have to add a little SNL fun. I do believe that if a "small section" of our student section started doing that the rest of the stadium would not let that happen. What happens outside of the stadium all I can say is that if your not wearing purple and gold then I wouldn't stay around very long but that is a whole other issue..

Speaking as a Marine, We always have issues with the Navy, but when it comes to the Navy football team, there are Marines on that team also. It really bothers me that any American would boo service men for any reason at all. To be honest, I could care less if it is war time, Post or Pre 911, night time or day time it should never be aloud to disgrace the uniform. I extend that statement to all people of uniform by the way. Sorry about that, I get off topic from time to time.

Now as bad as what happened at Rutgers, our sport of College Football still has hope. I know that I am biased but look at what happened when the ninth ranked Va-Tech Hokies came to Death Valley:


"LSU paid homage to Virginia Tech and its 32 slain students and faculty members before kickoff of Saturday’s game between the Tigers and Hokies.

"Three paratroopers flew through the pregame rain to deliver a Virginia Tech flag, an LSU flag and an American flag onto the field. Then LSU’s Golden Band from Tigerland performed Virginia Tech’s alma mater in what is believed to be the first time an LSU band has played the opposing team’s school song before a game. The band then played LSU’s alma mater and the national anthem.

"A moment of silence was also held to honor those from Virginia Tech killed in the campus shooting in Blacksburg on April 16. Also honored were former LSU football players Marquise Hill and Dave Peterson who died during the off season."

It should be noted that our fans went on to be just as loud as ever, just as crazy as ever and they did not resort to the type of behavior that happened at Rutgers. I do recall the "overrated" chant that is reserved for all top ranked teams that get blown out. I believe that if the situation was reversed, as it was 2 years ago, that Va-Tech would have shown us the same respect and in the event of a blowout would celebrate the same way.

College football is not and I prey that it never will be pro football. Those guys get paid. If you want to boo the coach, go for it. If you want to support your team, go for it. Here are a few guidelines for being a college football fan:

• You don't have to be nice, that would be crazy but you do have to show respect weather it is victory or loss.
• Yelling profanities is never, never a good idea in public. If you can't talk smack without using profanities then maybe you shouldn't be at the game.
• Act like you've been there before... Understandably, if you haven't been there before we understand when you get a little out of hand.
• If you shed your shirt and paint your body with letters to spell some pittances of support then for God's sake, MAKE SURE YOU SPELL CORRECTLY...
  
• and leave those Cow Bells home, I mean your the Bulldogs, what in the heck does that have to do with a cow bell..

Texas Beats OU....

I don't think I really need to say much, this speaks for itself........

BTW, this was last year, I didn't want the memory to fade....

That special time of the year....

Tiger Stadium under the lights....

My favorite time of the year is upon us. The start of football season, namely College Football season... My LSU Tigers started off on a good note putting a 45-0 beat down on Mississippi State in Starkville... I know its a Mississippi school but they are still in the SEC and we did play them there. I do take my hat off to State's D, those guys defiantly showed up to play. Now the offense was a different story. Henig really took them out of the game. We have a tough schedule (everybody in the SEC does) but the silver lining is that the brunt of it does come at home.

Louisiana Superdome....

Were also a week out of the pro game and I'm just as tingly. My Saints sure do look good thus far in the pre-season. Something tells me that this could be a special year for the state of Louisiana... Our schedule leaves something to be desired. We will defiantly have to earn our wins, especially the first 5 games. Looking at the whole schedule I see maybe 4-5 "sure things" and the rest will require the Saints to buck up to get the job done. I'm really glad to see that things back home are starting to look good.(at least on the field of play that is....)

Optimus Prime is the MAN......

I went to see the Transformer movie and I was a little worried. The Transformers and G.I. Joe are quite possibly my all time favorite universes of all time. I love the X-Men and lot of other story lines, but growing up in Southwest Louisiana (Da Bayou) were we had all of 4 channels to choose from and only got to "town" once a month the Saturday morning cartoons were something we all looked forward too. I was worried that they would somehow not do justice to my childhood hero's. Let me tell you they did. I thought I was going to be upset with the changes to the Autobots as every one has been altered in some way. I was not, the movie is a non stop thrill ride which one would expect from Michael Bay and has a compelling plot line. The story does take a bit of a back seat to the awesome CGI action scenes but not too bad. The fight scene between Optimus and Bonecrusher is one of the best parts of the movie. Frenzy gets a bit old especially his last scene (I was ready for him to get beheaded). My boyfriend begrudgingly came with me (he is not a fan at all) and he had a good time. There was enough humor and plenty of action. I give it 4 thumbs up..(I'm counting my big toes)...

If you can, see it in digital................

Birthday fun....

On this most special of all days, what else do I do but go to work.... One would figure that on such a great day as this I would be sitting on the beach with an ice cold margarita watching all the cute boys pass me by. Don't get me wrong, it's not all that bad and we do have big plans tonight.... But all the same, working on this awesome day really bites. I thought at the very least there might be a parade or something of the sort. On the bright side our summer vacation is starting to shape up. It appears that we are going to see Micky and Minnie and all there friends don in Florida. Neither one of us has been so this will be fun if it panes out. Well, I gotta get back to work, enjoy the pics of what my co-workers and big sis had waiting for me at work yesterday....
