Tongues

Really, everyone should listen to this. It can’t possibly do anything but make your day better.

Hey, me too!

Cliff Lee and A.J. Burnett are both from Arkansas.

Me too! A.J. didn’t go to Arkansas, though, did he?

Burnett’s official bio lists his College as “N/A”. So…straight from NLR to playing ball for cash.

Hey, me too!

Gizmodo had this clip up. It’s a segment on the Today show that involves Al Roker as Han Solo and two Ewoks drinking, fighting, dancing (and at one point, “enjoying” some push-ups). Just click on it. Especially you, Barrett.

War Eagle.

Just wrote my first grad school recs for one of my students (first ones I’ve written for someone other than Barrett, I think). Starting to feel like I’m settling into the job.

rickankielsmustache:

I think now is a great time to point out that Cliff Lee, who is currently schooling the Yankees, is an Arkansas Razorback.

See how we come full circle here?

If he blows this game after I have pointed this out I will take full blame.

Go Hogs. Beat Yankees.

“Due to budget uncertainties at our university, we have had to cancel our percussion search. We hope to re-open this search in Fall, 2010.”

- An update on the percussion search at Iowa State (as reported on the PAS boards).

Yikes.

Can we go back to discussing how insane it will be to see Mark McGwire in the dugout again?

rickankielsmustache:

Do they still make hats in that large a size?

McGwire’s first day on the job:

Player: Hey coach, I’m having trouble pulling the ball to right when I get a change-up.

Mac: Bet I can hit this ball over those mountains.

Aaaand, scene.

Watched the espn documentary on the Baltimore Colts marching band that spent 12 years w/o a football team. I felt the same way in the band at Oklahoma from 96-98.

Unusual gifts for men include books for the thinking man! The complete short stories of Ernest Hemingway are very popular with young and old, although sometimes it’s hard to see why they like them so much! (They are a smidgeon depressing!)

Great opening paragraph, or greatest opening paragraph? (!)

Paula Deen’s Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes

For cake:
1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted

For filling:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F.

2. Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

3. To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.

4. Serve with fresh whipped cream.

Here’s to pumpkin in everything for the next few weeks.

Aaron, we found the Hello Kitty store. Which toilet seat do you want for the party?

That one looks great. Although, the one with the laundry bucket (or whatever that is up there) looks great, too.
