Don't Try To Change Me, Baby.

I awoke this morning to find in my inbox the latest edition of the MU Insider newsletter that the fine people at gomarquette.com prepare before every Marquette game. (Aside: if you haven't signed up for the newsletter yet, rectify that post haste.) And amidst the broadcast details, game notes, and other info about tonight's matchup with Washington, I discovered this rather alarming link tucked in the News and Notes section of the newsletter:

Oh no.

No no no no no no no.

You see what's happening here, don't you? A link in the MU Insider newsletter, on the heels of the Nonsense Extravaganza that is Badger Hate Week? They're trying to legitimize us, people. And if there's one thing I absolutely, positively will not stand for on this blog, it's being taken seriously. I DEMAND TO NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

I'm on to you, MU Insider. You can send all the rational-thinking type folk you want our way, but you'll NEVER take my gifs of Bo Ryan and Mike Wilkinson's ex-fiance doing the Arrested Development chicken dance. EVER.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but basically (linking) is the nature of the beast.

My response: Maybe I’m wrong on this one, but for me, the beast doesn’t include selling out.

Doesn't taste like chicken.

And I apologize

It’s the quickest movie reference I could come up with.

You misheard me:

I like the word "chipotle."

Only because I go Jon Miller on it with the exaggerated Spanish accent: CHEE-pote-LAAAY.

Wait

When did Lindsey Bluth turn into Mike Wilkinson’s ex-fiance? I missed that addition. Love the band instrument too. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next step is a call from Pixar. You’re going places, my friend.

That was a special request from Warrior Brad.

I made him a treat for doing a good podcast.

And that's why I love this place

Our friends in the blogosphere all have their things: Cracked Sidewalks has their mathematical genius and friends in high places. Paint Touches has their program access and friends in the know. We have cornered the market on nonsense and a foghorn that bleeps out our cuss words. Yup, I know which one of those is my particular brand of vodka.

We all have to chase one rabbit. If we try to chase two rabbits we won't catch either of 'em.
