I Before We and Drunk Cooking

So two things came to mind today while we wait for this horrible, horrible college basketball off season to end. The first is a question that comes up again and again on the blog and our Twitter Feed:

Why do you use the term "we" all the time? Isn't it just you writing? Are you schizophrenic?

Well, no. We think. Actually it goes like this; Yes, I (Gabby) write about 95% of the stuff on the Blog and Twitter. But I have friends who help me. So if I am using the term "we" that means that whatever it is that I am saying was a collaborative thought or expression. If I am using the word "I" that means it was solely me who came up with whatever crap that I am spewing.

The second thing was an overdue introduction to our audience on someone who we have been watching and laughing ourselves silly over:

This is Hannah Hart, proprietor of My Drunk Kitchen. She adeptly combines two things I love to do, cooking and drankin' to hilarious effect. Before Baby M2M was born I use to do this a lot. But Baby M2M does not allow me the quiet time necessary to nurse a hangover so I stopped. Plus Mrs. M2M says that it would be good for my health to stop too. But Hannah has taken up the slack for me. So check her out, citizens. You'll be glad you did.

Also, I do have to say that since I stopped drankin' and cooking my meals have been a whole lot more tasty. I guess that is another benefit of sorts.

Carry on.

But who is the captain?

We totally stole this from SB Nation but it was too good not to share. Can you guess what Lions coach Schwartz is saying?

We think the conversation started like this:

Schwartz: "Where's the fudge?"
Voice in headphones: "Where's the fudge... What?"
Schwartz (pictured above): "Where's the fudge, captain?!"

Hey, we all like fudge. What? You think he said "what the fuck happened?" Naw, he's not that type of person.

Happy Fat Tuesday everyone!

From the gang here at March to Madness.

The BS Bowl

Hey, where is the 'C' in that title?

We took the night off last night to watch the Oregon / Auburn "National Championship" game. One because we genuinely do like college football. And two because we love to be reminded that our sport has a true playoff and national championship game. Regular content to return tonight (or tomorrow AM). God bless March Madness.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families

Sometimes it's not all about basketball. The shooting that happened in Arizona was understandably tragic and we wanted take a moment for the ones who were needlessly killed at a political event this Saturday:

John Roll
Dorothy Morris
Dorwin Stoddard
Phyllis Schneck
Christina Green (9 years old)

We also wish for the speedy recovery of congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. We hope this was random and isolated with the sick rhetoric going on between the political left and right.

Wow...

Act like you've fucking been there, Nevada.

(HT: Mr. Brian Cook with SB Nation and MGoBlog)

A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)

Vegas, baby?

Vegas, baby.

We were sitting here talking about all the crazy things that usually happen when we pack up and head out to Sin City for either the NCAA Tourney or Selection Sunday. But now with Gabby on the East Coast and a baby coming we were wondering when the next Vegas trip would be. While Gabby just likes to drink and restaurant hop, the rest of us like to actually gamble. That is what Vegas was made for, right?

So in the meantime while we wait for our next trip we do things. Things like online video poker, video roulette, or video blackjack. Well, one person here likes roulette...

*cough cough*

Steve

*cough cough*

Plus it's another great way to pass the time before college hoops starts.

UPDATE: Gabby just said he doesn't see himself being in Vegas anytime before 2012. Forget it then, isn't that when Hollywood says the world's gonna end?

WASTErn indeed...

Attention young men

So the blah blah part of the story is some University of Colorado football player provided 4 kegs to a high school party. The BEST part of the story is what happened after the beer was delivered...

One student, Tatiana Christofferson, 18, was arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault and released to her parents after deputies said she struck another girl twice and tried to push someone into one of several campfires, the Daily Camera reported. No more charges are pending against any of the students who attended the campout.

And just who is this Tatiana gal?

That's right, she cool, funny and apparently single you guys! Now that's the type of woman we like. Feisty Ukrainians who love a good fire fight.

Isn't that nice...

Lindsay Lohan will play Linda Lovelace in upcoming biography.

We'll watch that. Just like we watched Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls.

Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!

The Rules of Engagement (off season)

Well that was fun...

Our only regret this season was not buying tickets from one of the many ticket brokers out there to go to an actual game. But such is life and more on that later. Now we start the time of year where there is no college basketball to occupy us. There isn't even so much as college football to bide our time. We call this banishment. Others have another term for it.

Yeah...

During this time of year we here at M2M switch into our off season posting rules. We are making some changes though from last year's rules:

1) Expect 1 to 2 posts a week. That will now change to whenever something interesting pops up, such as the man responsible for leading Siena to three NCAA Tournament births celebrating a little too much. Good job, Ronald!

2) Wednesday's Moment of Zen will continue. Although we would like to make this promise our wives have been completely ignored this season. We had to promise to take them out a LOT so we might not have the time to do this weekly. Save your boos until the end.

3) Off topic? Yes citizens, we will be doing a lot of off topic posts. Cooking and politics still gives us grist for the mill.

The look back / ahead
Although we didn't get tickets to any of the games we had our correspondents. Plus we organized our annual blogosphere famous trips to Vegas, this time for Selection Sunday. While that was beyond fun we really need to get our asses to actual games. Either we need to grab ourselves regular season tickets to ncaa basketball games or at the very least tickets for March Madness. Seriously, this is our goal for the 2010-2011 season. Blog brethren like Rush The Court is leaving us in the dust in this area.

So there you have it. Stay warm, keep hydrated and we will be back in force come October.

Red beans and rice with lobster and bacon

That's what's going on here.  What you got?

Snowbunnies and Rolondo

Funny moment - While we were watching the NFL Draft we noticed when Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain was picked he was totally surrounded by a lot of screaming White women. While there's nothing wrong with that (we guess) it made us say "Damn" out loud. Mrs. March To Madness was in the kitchen and we know she heard us but maybe not have known why we said that. Well, it looks like someone from the Twitter world noticed that too. Introducing Kentrell Lockett:

Here here. (HT: EDSBS, as always)

Thoughts while watching the NFL Draft

1)  Toby Gerhart got penalized for being a White running back
2)  Erin Andrews is essentially hanging out with Jimmy Clausen
3)  Can't believe Colt McCoy has fallen this low
4)  A lot of kids are crying when they are getting picked.  Must be the money!
5)  First you had wine in a box, now you have BEER in a box.  Thanks, Coors Light
6)  We think NY Jets fans would boo even if their team's selection was Jesus of Nazareth, South Galilee University
7)  The Tebow Child goes to the Broncos.  Good luck with that, guys.  Mel Kiper is pissed
8)  These pro football analysts don't know a single thing about college football.  All night we kept on thinking to ourselves "What?!"

Love. This. Picture.

Chaaaaaaaa!!!!!

It's so good

We have gotten a late start today so enjoy a random post. We'll resume normal broadcasting later today or tomorrow.

This is what happens when an extremely narcissistic teenage girl gets a hold of a webcam and the internet...

But we like popcorn too. Cheers!

Totally off topic

Women we think are hot but our wives think we're nuts...

Emily Watson (Best Movie: Breaking the Waves)


Tilda Swinton (Best Movie: Constantine)


Yeardley Smith (The voice of Lisa Simpson)


Elizabeth Peña (Best Movie: Jacob's Ladder)

2 Brits, a Frenchie and a Cuban. Talk about United Colors of Benetton. We could mention women who we think are hot and our wives agree but what's the fun there? Plus the wives would get mad. So there. Back to college hoops!

Happy Female Day

Let's get some shoes

Between the mythical "National Championship" game last night, work and date night with the wives tonight we really haven't had time to post anything substantial. So we leave you with fluff.

Guys, are you struggling to understand your fuck buddy, girlfriend, wife? Watch this:

Ignore the fact that the girl is a boy. Who like boys to be girls.

Happy Friday. We'll catch you on the flip side.
