While you were using intimidating shout...

Finals week is upon us, like a mighty hawk upon a tiny mousey, or the possibly rabid raccoon upon our garbage bin in the back of the house.

LEEEROYYYYYYY JENNNKINS
This is these guys playing this game, and the other guy yells, and...I can't really explain it well, it's just too funny. There is really nothing better than World of Warcraft nerds getting overexcited about life. I like to imagine what it looks like, and then I laugh and laugh and laugh.

Live action Leroy Jenkins
Once you watch the first one, watch this. It is hilarious. Note: this is similar to LARP, for you freaks in the Butts.

More Leroy Live
Oh, and watch this one too.

HOW MUST I PREPARE, YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF. SHOULD I GOT TO AFRICA?
I count this guy as my life coach for three moments during my day. 1) Before rugby games. 2)Before I babysit. 3)Before sex. Obvs. But one thing about the guys talking about how your boy, the Ultimate Warrior, is so "crazy" or "disturbed." Can you really talk smack about anyone when you have one of those little cartoon badguy mustaches, the kind that is only worn by the guy who ties down the blondie girl onto the train tracks? Apparently yes, yes you can.

AI Preaches the truth
Sometimes, you just don't want to go to mothafuckin practice. Sometimes people yell at you for that. Sometimes you actually do go to practice. It's a complex world out there.

KICKBAWLLLLLLLLL

BROS: We're playing keg kickball today, a battle, a final showdown if you will, between WesRugby and Old Methodist Rugby Football Club (Wesleyan's "other" rugby team, aka the boys). I will wear my finest spandex.

For all of your historical reenactments...
Click here to buy such important items as 18th century shirts, sock suspenders, and everything else a (gentle)man's heart could desire. Oh, and before you ask--yes, they do sell top hats, but I'm not entirely convinced that mesh undershirts are "a traditional British undergarment," unless by traditional they are referring to...something gay (or Jersey Shore, but that's New Jersey, not the olde Jersey from across the pond) that I can't think of.

Gladiator news!!!
If there's one thing I love, it's sweet fucking Gladiators. They just discovered a gladiator graveyard in Turkey. How incredibly awesome.

If you Olin like a champ...

Go on write that paper...off...ah fuck it.

OMG GIRLLLL NO YOU DID NOT
OK as you may or may not know, I love Rich Eisen. He's like the hot dad your best friend never had. Anyway, this girl wanted to send him some hot pictures of her in a bikini, but she sent it to the email address that he shares with wifey! What a merry mix up!!!!!!!! This reminds me of the time I sent an email to Julia telling her what a whore Lindsey is but then I sent it to contact@thenotebookgirls.com, instead of jbaskin@Washu.edu, and now Lindsey and I don't speak anymore. Good times. Here's Rich's story.

My dad is going to go nuts over this
If anyone knows their Komedy with a capital K, they know that anything+a monkey equals funny (unless it's a vast spreading virus, in which case you just get what happened in Outbreak, and that shit was not funny). And now, for your viewing pleasure, here is a monkey riding on the back of a dog. You may die now.

End of Claremont

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.
