I owe you a tale. A tale of drunken hilarity. On the e-bus. In Austin, TX. (I promise no more fragments.)

Well a normal night in Austin (drinking on 6th street, almost getting tattoos, eating a Best Wurst) led myself and a group of some rowdy rabelrousers to the E-bus. We were trying to make our way to West Campus and ended up taking a long, loud, crazy bus trip.

We made our way to the back of the bus where a group of some drunken boys were already holding camp. I don't remember how it happened (very, very drunk) and I tried to decipher my notes (hastily written as I decided (drunkenly) that this would be good post material) but they are no help at all.

Apparently there was a guy in a knock-off lacoste polo shirt that had a HUGE Boston tattoo on his leg. His "friend" (brown shirt guy) proceeded to call him "Fag", and other names. This perked the ears of many in my group who would just assume join in on the shenanigans. Attacking him with a barrage of insults led to an extremely loud chant of "FUCK TOM BRADY" over and over and over again. One of my girlfriend's hand was sticking out in the aisle and she thought she brushed by his crotch as the bus hit a bump. Upon realizing she didn't, she let everyone know that she hit nothing because this guy "Had no balls!" After screaming this brown shirt guy let us know that his friend was in fact Jewish (I was under the impression that people of that faith weren't supposed to get tattoos, hmph) and "no one would want to fuck those Jewish balls." In his defense, sort of, he defended he love of all things Boston with great passion. Fucker had it coming. And I hope no one tries to "fuck his balls", no matter what his balls believe, because I have a feeling that would be an awkward sexual position.

After they had their share of attacking him (he finally moved to the front of the bus) it was made obvious that everyone at the back were Cowboy's fans. This started more chants of "FUCK TOM BRADY."

After the bus ride was over, we made our long trek down the street to my friends apartment. She happens to live quite close to quite a few frat houses so our chants of "FUCK TOM BRADY" were always echoed. One of our group said that he could sum up the weekend with just those three words.

Truth be told NCAA coverage makes me yawn. Mandy isn't doing too bad on her Pittsburgh Celebrity NCAA Pool. But I think we both agree that the e-sports world is kind of boring during this time.

I decided that on this rain filled Monday I would instead find some brackets even I could get into.

Luckily Collegehumor.com is always ready for me.

Their Disney Princess bracket is just what I need. Now, I'm not saying I'm an expert on the subject...but I do know a 5-year-old who is (not mine). And although I can't believe Ariel got taken down in the first round, I am glad to see Belle in the finals. In my humble opinion I think she should triumph over Sleeping Beauty.


And if that is just a little too girly for you, how about Bullz-eye.com's Badass bracket? Round 1 is over, but there is still time to vote in Round 2.

Yes. This will do. I was so excited about this bracket I passed out. But don't worry, it's not a health issue. I pass out all the time. Usually it's because I see my own dead sexy reflection in the mirror. But sometimes it's because Mandy reminds me how awesome we are, and in turn I fall down.

You've probably already seen this video, but I'm posting it on the off-chance that you missed it. Cuz it's totally worth a viewing. For those of you not up on the backstory, here you go. Basically Sir Charles challenged aging NBA ref Dick Bavetta to a footrace and once Dick heard about the challenge, it was totally ON. And where better to hold a race between a 67 year-old man and an out of shape former basketball player? The NBA All-Star game of course.

Fast forward to about the 6 minute mark if you just want to catch the action. That Charles Barkley is a cheater and a show off. But I'm glad Dick Bavetta was able to embrace Barkley and totally stick it to Tim Hardaway in the end.

Elsewhere in the All-Star Game...Shaq, Lebron, and Dwight Howard have quite the dance-off. Impressive.
