Claremont is closing, the place we all learned to ride and not get bucked off bratty ponies. I rode there for years, was a camp counselor there for years, and countless Upper West Side children spent summer afternoons watching the horses. There isn't much to say except that this is incredibly sad.
Read more about it here and here.

Videos your ex boyfriend sends you why sir?
Because you'd go on for hours/represent the crushing reality of your life, we'd all go on for hours/represent the crushing reality of our lives together...
See how rugby songs just get you through the hard times? Or at least provide you with an environment (natty light keg) in which to forget your sorrows (blackout and then drunk text message the multiple people in your phone labeled DO NOT TEXT)? Nice. Let's commence.
Great Try
Normally I wouldn't want to post this, because it's a try being scored against All Blacks, but it's pretty good. James sent this to me, and somehow everyone in the clip (1973 game) looks exactly like Dan Crossley. Coincidence? OR DID I JUST BLOW YOUR FUCKING MIND?!?!?!!!?!?!?!
Lax pump you up video
This is a parody of James's high school lax coach, Coach Dbro. I've never seen this person in real life, but I still think this video is hilarious. So before I take a trip to negative town on how depressing this whole post is, here's the video!!! Yay Smile!!!!
PS I just watched it again and results are in. It's actually not that funny--there are really funny lines about Iraq and horses, but also a lot of long scenes of Dbro hacking away at a punching bag with an axe.
One of the results for google image search "Sophie Pollitt-Cohen"
I swear to God I did not make this up.

They have rugby AND shopping?! Are you kidding me?!?!!!
And where is that thing that combines the exclamation point with the question mark when you need it?!!?
This weekend was Beast of the East, a schweet rugby tournament we went to. They even had a store full of things to buy!!!!! Old Meth (our men's team) went there too, and there is really nothing more lovely than having all of them sitting four feet away from you (love being a wing and guarding my sidelines) when you tackle someone and get up and realize you're only wearing one cleat. Because that makes you look like you play some badass rugby because you're a badass team, right? Oh, what? It makes me look like a freak who somehow is always losing articles of clothing during rugby for reasons I still CAN'T understand (re: Carter trying to back tackle me while some of Old Meth was watching our drill except she only succeeded in pulling my shorts off)? I see. Good to know. Anyway, on to things that aren't completely mind-numbingly depressing...
Will Ferrell Short
This is hilarious, but because I'm too busy having a "life," (insert your own one here, I can't possibly care about this joke right now), everyone has probably seen it already. Whatever.
The most awesome photo ever
Enough said.
Take that, Soccer players
You may be ridiculously athletic and amazing to watch, but you cry like weak little babies. Tiny, tiny tears.

Cause he's only got 12 men...
While you couldn't play rugby (I hurt my arm through a harrowing combination of Will Duncan/drinkup related injury and tackling an enormous beast of a woman at the Le Babson game)...
Gay Slap
This gem is from Lindsey. She's taken Gay+Soccer to a whole new level, and the bitch works it, owns it, loves it.
Old British Men Rugby Song
If every word in that sentence didn't make you want to click this link, I don't know what's wrong with you. I can't really understand what they're saying, though. Something about bollox and apple up my arse. It's great.
Shocking cats
I actually almost shat on the floor of Olin when I saw this. That would have been crazy!
Mystery animal attacks child
Insert lame celebrity joke here. Was it Nicole Richie hunting for nutrition? (Babies are high in iron). Fuck it. I hate this place.
Sometimes elk try to fight but then their horns get stuck together.
Hilarity ensues!
Great photos
This isn't particularly funny, nor is it supposed to be--unless turn of the century depressing sepia pictures of Indians being forced west is your kind of Komedy (capital K), in which case let the games begin.
