Shout Out Thursday

1. Shout Out to John Madden who today officially announced his retirement today as an NFL broadcaster for NBC. Basically, Madden's been the voice of football for my entire life. Growing up in the Bay Area, he had a daily interview on the local news radio station my mom listened to every morning while we ate breakfast and I can remember going down to the old Tanforan parking lot next to the train tracks in San Bruno to watch drivers "audition" for the Madden cruiser. Nothing like watching luxury buses navigate a orange cone course at 8am on a Sunday. Oh, and more importantly - what will happen to the John Madden Drinking Game???

2. Shout Out to Susan Boyle the 47-year old British house frau who wowed old puss-face Simon Cowell with her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. It's a pretty voice but more importantly, she basically flipped the bird at everyone who said "You want to go on T.V. and do what?" That's the truly ballsy part. Work it, Susie Sue.

3. Shout Out to Ana Marie Cox, Air America correspondent and MSNBC pundit who's live Tweeting of rampant "teabagging" during yesterday's FoxNews sponsored tea party event in D.C. almost made me pee my pants. She lit a firestorm of Twittering under the #teabagasm hashtag and of course, reminded us all that someone in the Republican Party had better look up teabagging at UrbanDictionary.com. Or not. Nothing better than listening to the bobble head Glenn Beck babble on about teabagging, teabagging, teabagging! Yeah, I bet you love you teabags, Glenn.

4. And last but not least, a Shout Out to my beloved San Francisco Giants. 2 and 6 start? Awesome. Blowing the lead in the 8th inning against the hated Dodgers and then walking in the winning run? Awesomer. Another long year? Yes, yes it will be. *headdesk*

  1. THANK YOU. My mom is very conservative and she kept talking about going to these teabagging things, and I'm just like, "WTF?"

    Maybe it's because the only sort of teabagging I ever see occurs when people pass out drunk with their shoes on and the "teabagging" that ensues doesn't generally involve tea.

  2. The whole teabagging thing cracked me up! The 'protests' pissed me off so much. Especially since the people protesting are the reason we're in this mess in the first place. It's the rest of us who are suffering and trying to clean it up. They need a good dose of porn. Maybe that will calm them down and snap them back into reality.

  4. TEABAGGING: From the same party that brought you solicitation for sex in a public restroom.
