The more common a word is in the song, the larger it is in the image. Wheee! Fun right?

First person to post all 10 correctly in the comments wins nothing, save some respect or something. Not from me, mind you - I ain’t got no respect left to give, players.

By the way, is it weird that I want to frame some of these and put them up on my wall?

Pour one out for Youppi and the Expos. RIP. Nothing more American than kicking some Canadian ass on the 4th of July. The Jones’s showed up on this day.

  • Awesome: Krista’s blog, Margaritas On Friday. If you know Krista, it’s exactly what you’d expect. I highly recommend reading the first post.
  • Not-So-Much: Dawgs collapse, finish great season one win short.
  • Awesome: I finally got a new phone: The Nokia 5310 (in Bulldog Black and Red, natch). No longer do I have to worry about my camera taking pictures of the insides of my pants! Huzzah!
  • Not-So-Much: Scratching your head all the way down to your brain.
  • Awesome: If the weather holds, looks like two rounds of golf this weekend. Double-huzzah!
  • Not-So-Much: The aftertaste that comes from drinking ginger ale after brushing your teeth.
  • Awesome: Bloons, and all of its offspring.
  • Awesome and/or Not-So-Much: I just realized that as of one month ago, I’m officially closer to retirement age than my birth.

Update: I just couldn’t let the weekend arrive without dropping one more bit of Awesome.

You don’t know.) remain anonymous.

While recent injuries and our brutal schedule leave much uncertainty for this season, one thing is for certain…

We won’t be seeing any of this next year:

For the low, low price of $10.00, Meredith and I got to see UGA earn a berth in the College World Series in Omaha by beating TECH. ON THEIR OWN FIELD. Seriously, you can’t get much more enjoyable than that, at least as far as college baseball is concerned.
