This weekend
I'm surprised there hasn't already been a post on this but this weekend all of us writers got together at our little hideaway and had a great weekend. Nothing too rowdy happened because it would have been inappropriate. What we did do was plan the after-after-after party at an upcoming wedding (the only after party that matters) went on a brewery tour, ate chick-fil-le (if you don't like chick-fil-le this blog will write an article about how pathetic you are), had brunch, played cornhole (I won't embarass my fellow writers by saying who won), shot guns, found the horse, saw baby cows be born, found a great den, were together for the brightest moon in years, and generally were awesome. Sorry you couldn't be there reader's, unless you were there then we were glad to have you.
RIP Nate Dogg
I've only ever written one other eulogy, and that was of Rich Cronin from LFO. So Nate Dogg you will be missed, I really don't know anything about you nor do I care to, but I will miss you because this song is awesome. And I'm sure everyone who played high school sports within the last six years had this song on some kind of pump up mix
Being a UConn sports fan
With the sudden rise of UConn football, and Kemba Walker leading the Huskies to the championship (it's going to happen) I would like to discuss my new passion for all things UConn sports. I am from Connecticut, but I literally know nothing about the school. I know its in Storres, but I don't know where that is, I don't know what the school looks like, and atleast off the top of my head I can't name a person who is an undergrad there who I would consider a friend of mine, acquaintance maybe, but not friend. I did not consider applying there and have no desire to ever visit Storres. But now I am a fan, some would say I bleed blue. So Kemba Walker keep snapping necks and cashing checks, and in football we will have Johnny Mac ,subject of a prior blog post, lead us to the promised land, and maybe another BCS berth where we get blown out by a way better team, which I am ok with.

Houston, We Have a Problem
As Deacon mentioned, The BE and I headed down to Mardi Gras to visit our old pal DonaghyEstates. You will soon learn that things did not quite go as planned. We didn't see DonaghyEstates all that much, but when we did, it was the best. Otherwise, we spent the week eating delicious food and going to parades.
The Mardi Parades are like an all day tailgate with no actual sporting event to go to. When we had perfected our routine, the BE and I simply sat in fold out chairs next to the tables and tent eating and drinking all day. We had the good fortune of staying with a friend who lives in New Orleans. This was the best decision I've ever made. We had beds and so much good all week. Great, great food. We had jambalaya and gumbo almost every day. The parades featured these two staples as well as boxes of Popeyes and chili dogs. We also had cases of beer in coolers just waiting for us. The best part - all of this was free and we took advantage of it to the fullest extent.
The parades themselves were pretty cool. There are obviously lots of floats that go by with different themes. One of them was the Thoth parade, which was themed after Thoth Goes to College. I think that is hilarious. Every float featured Thoth, a goofy Egyptian God, going to different classes and drinking. And then there is the beads, which are thrown out non-stop. After a while, we realized getting beads was overrated and we eventually threw them away (mostly). The best part of the parades were meeting the random people around us. These two old women next to us became our best friends and together we made fun of the kids we came with. One of them was from Houston and since we made it our mission to get him hammered, they kept yelling, "Houston, we have a problem!" Classic. They also gave me homemade beef jerky, which was delicious.
At one point we went over to the Tulane section of the parade watching at (General) Lee's Circle. It was obviously pretty rowdy there, but nothing too much. Tulane seems like a fine school, but it's fucking impossible to find and there are some majds there, which is true of any establishment. Overall, Mardi Gras was hilarious. New Orleans is a ridiculous city where anything goes and when we were walking down those parade streets, it looked like the end of the world. We peed outside once, despite the many warnings, and the port-a-potty we had access to literally saved the weekend.

Unofficial 2011
This weekend I took the rare trip away from my own campus, and had the opportunity to visit the University of Illinois. I have only ever partied at two other campuses, before Friday and I was excited to see how this compared to my school as they are very similar. I visited on their largest drinking day which is known as Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day or simply Unofficial. I don’t really know or care of the origins but basically what it is, is everyone wakes up at 6 am and listens to alot of the song from Boondock Saints, and drinks for eighteen straight hours. There are a lot of Irish themed drinks and somewhat clever shirts that people design and etc. So pretty much 50,000 students and guests are just hammered for a whole day and it is accepted and encouraged. The interesting thing is I personally don’t know one person who goes to this school, so I was just along for the ride. Being an obnoxious person in general, I signed a beer pong table at an apartment with my name and my high school lacrosse number, so I hope they appreciate that. It really wasn’t that eventful of a day, like there weren’t any cool events or any places for a lot of people to meet up. It was just an excuse to start drinking at an inappropriate time and drink inappropriate amounts. I am not sure if I will ever go back considering I got lost at 3 am in the rain with my friend from St. Louis ,who also knew nobody there. So that was an interesting experience, but I do recommend visiting your friends and getting really drunk cause that’s fun. And I am sure the three other authors of this blog, who are all together at Mardi Gras in New Orleans, are going to write articles and tell stories that blow this one out of the water. Although that wouldn’t be hard to do, because UnOfficial is not that cool.

Facebook Decorum Part 3
I haven't done one of these in a while, mainly because I ran out of ideas and I might have forgotten about this segment, but another thing on facebook that really pisses me off is when people check in at locations. This pretty much falls in the category of who the fuck cares? Ohhh so and so are dinner!!!11!1, really that doesn't change anyone life about anything. Its really someone just trying to name drop, because if you actually check-in at places, you are probably a huge loser and you either A. want someone else to be a loser by association with you or B. You are with someone cool, and maybe by checking in with someone cool, you by the transitive property will also be cool. But spoiler alert, you aren't cool, everyone reaches the coolest they'll ever be by their senior year of high school, and if in college you aren't cool but act like it, you'll get figured out eventually. So basically don't check in place because it just alerts everyone one facebook that you are a big nerd and no I will not be your nerd by association.
You look about as cool as this Seahawks fan who's updating Facebook at the bar

Greg McElroy: defying stereotypes
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Greg-McElroy-almost-aced-the-Wonderlic-Is-he-to?urn=ncaaf-327510
Greg McElroy got a 48 on the wonderlic test, for those of you who don't know what that is, it is a 50 question test given to players at the NFL combine to test their intelligence. Its a combination of logic and common sense, and if you ever take a practice one, its not too hard. In comparison though, Vince Young got a 6. For me McElroy is as suprising as Myron Rolle, personally whenever I think of Alabama or Florida State football, I don't think of geniuses, who are Rhode Scholars. Florida State had a big scandal about it, and Antonio Cromartie, a former FSU player, literally cannot read and has 7 kids with 5 mothers. So congratulations McElroy, you made me rethink my ignorant assumptions about the south and Southern football. But unfortunately for you, you are not nearly as cool as your predessor at Bama, JP Dubs

Maybe the frattiest NFL player
