Your Friday Afternoon Cheers And Jeers


CHEERS to the concept of St. Patrick’s Day, which involves drinking lots and lots and talking in a stupid Irish accent. You know how much this infuriates the Irish? Delightful.

JEERS to St. Patrick’s Day in execution. The bars are disgustingly crowded, you can't hear anything your friends are saying, lots of drunken annoying women singing abound, and everyone’s passed out by 2AM in a tepid puddle of vomit that is not their own.

CHEERS to the NCAA Tournament, which provides us with an orgy of games and brings us all together to in hopes of seeing copious amounts of both riveting drama and barely legal cheerleader jailbait.

JEERS to this particular NCAA Tournament, which so far blows donkey balls.

CHEERS to Homer Simpson for his recent charity work.

JEERS to this rusty tailgate.

CHEERS to the Ladies blog for betting against us in the NCAA tournament (they lead us by one point)

JEERS to the entire KSK Gay Mafia for reading Andrea’s original email without failing to notice the actual prize involved in the wager and heading straight to the “loser has to provide pictures” part. Good job, men. We embody every male stereotype ever perpetuated, even the queer ones.

CHEERS to Dan Shanoff and MJD for their liveblogging work on Deadspin

JEERS to the asshole who started off his liveblog “Two of my college buddies (JackO and House) flew to L.A. to watch the games with me and double as my peanut gallery.” Nothing beats flying in your friends to come laugh at all your jokes.

CHEERS to Sportsline.com’s scoreboard, which is awesome.

JEERS to ESPN and SI’s scoreboards, which are decidedly not. The new SI.com layout is so annoying, I may abandon reading Peter King to make fun of him altogether.

CHEERS to the Chargers for going back to white helmets

JEERS to the Chargers for not going back to the powder blue jerseys. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

CHEERS to me. God dammit, I am one fineass piece of manmeat. And cheers to Mrs. Drew for choosing such a strapping young buck for a groom.

JEERS to you, for not being me.

CHEERS to Ufford for his brilliant piece on John Amaechi at With Leather.

JEERS to Ufford’s translucent skin. Hey Ufford, I can see your heart beating.

CHEERS to little football pants on attractive women.


JEERS to, well, nothing to jeer about that. Enjoy the weekend, children.

    True Irish patriots start the drinking when the clock strikes midnight in Ireland.

  19. Cheers to NYC for allowing me to show up at a bar at 1:30am and still be able to drink for MANY hours.

    Jeers to the d-bag in the kilt who will think it's OK to try to grab my boobs because it's St. Patrick's Day & he's drunk.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT waste your drink by throwing it on him. Puke on him if you must.

  21. I'll be in class all day tomorrow, so I won't be able to start until after 6 PM.

  23. Cheers to the college girls in my town who dye or shave certain areas creatively for the day and feel the need to show it off.

    Jeers to the douchebags who have to ruin the spontaneity of exhibitionists for everyone by demanding to see more.

    Jeers to the d-bag in the kilt who will think it's OK to try to grab my boobs because it's St. Patrick's Day & he's drunk.

    Bonus, though: a jackass wearing a kilt probably isn't wearing any sort of protective gear for the cock-blast.

    No, just in Jersey. Like that's any better. Working on my EMBA.

    Can't go out on my b'day due to the shitty weather, OR on St. Paddy's due to class. Have I depressed you people enough or should I call Clint?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Cheers for St. Patrick's Day also being my saint's day, and for NYC bars that would offer free booze to women like me named Patricia so I could get wasted by 8:30 in the morning, and for hot firemen and cops in kilts that were easily picked up in said bars after the parade, and for sneaking out of my chosen victim's place the next day with my panties in my purse.

    Jeers that if I tried to do this now, if the liquor didn't kill me my husband would.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Cheers - for living close enough to Dublin to fly there for £20.

    Jeers - for not renewing passport in time for St.Paddy's, and instead being stuck in with four kids and a brother who's pissing away my just-in-case-there's-a-nuclear-war sized supply of alcohol as I write.

    ReplyDelete
  33. @janie. Cheers for the giant supply of alcohol. You will need it if you watch the ManU Bolton slopfest.

    ReplyDelete
  34. devang - yeah, I'm more concerned about the Liverpool-Villa clash on Sunday though. I'll need at least one bottle of Jamesons for the arse-whipping the Reds'll give us - I swear to God, I'm kicking my brother out if he doesn't pack it in. Leeching bastard.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Cheers to this magical day you call St. Patrick's Day

    Jeers to its absence on the Dutch calender.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Janie, yeah that'll be a tough one for you. Always good to have a bottle of painkillers. Good luck though

  37. Not for nothing, but here's a wonderful clip of Bukkake brand milk

  38. Hey, Simmons didn't fly his friends in to laugh at his jokes, he flew them in so they'd made jokes he could put in his column. Makes less work for him.
