Snake Eater

December 17, 2008

Nothing on the horizon. In the meantime, here’s a meme I stole from Neil. Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin.

1. Put your iTunes (or any other media player you may have) on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!

IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY?
“California’s Dark”
The Nightwatchman
That would depend on if “this” is California.

WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?

“Heaven’s Rain”
We Love Katamari
That either makes me sound like the biggest badass on the planet, or a total fruit. Probably the latter.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
“Jimmy James”
Beastie Boys
Do you mean in a porno? Then no.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?
“Katamari on the Rock”
Katamari Damacy
For about a month it certainly was.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
“Lonely Horseman”
The Aquabats
I use that to scare off chicks all the time, but they always end up intrigued by me even more.

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
“Sequence Erase”
The Aquabats
Hmm…

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
“My Michelle”
Guns ‘n’ Roses
I used to love her, then I had to kill her.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
“Let Freedom Ring”
The Nightwatchman
I guess this is true.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
“Sucka Nigga”
A Tribe Called Quest
Let’s keep moving.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?

“B For My Name”
Beastie Boys
I give my name a C- at most. A B would be something cool like Van Halen or Powers.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

“Stay Hungry”
Twisted Sister
If this was “I Wanna Rock” or “S.M.F.”, this woulda been perfect.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?

“Goal and Score”
Yoshi’s Island
What a failure that strategy turned out to be.

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
“White and Nerdy”
Weird Al Yankovic
This is undoubtedly true.

WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
“She Hates Me”
Richard Cheese
Yeah, I kinda saw that coming.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
“Rock and Roll”
Led Zeppelin
Fuck yeah they will.

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
“Moskau”
Dschinghis Khan
Considering I listened to this song nonstop for two months straight, that’s not entirely inaccurate.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
“Shadrach”
Beastie Boys
Can’t win ‘em all.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
“Way to Fall”
Starsailor
I’ll hold off commenting on this one.

WHAT’S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?

“1983… (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)”
Jimi Hendrix
I agree.

HOW WILL YOU DIE?
“Superrappin’”
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
God I hope so.

WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET?
“Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”
The Animals
Aww, cute.

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
“Thriller”
Michael Jackson
It is pretty funny when he’s trying to tell his girl that he’s “different”.

WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
“The Stroke”
Billy Squire
It’s like the soundtrack of my future.

WILL YOU EVER GET MARRIED?
“Buggin’ Out”
A Tribe Called Quest
Fitting.

WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
“Amnesia Was Her Name”
Lemon Demon
I’m not so sure about that. It kinda sounds nice with my last name.

DOES ANYONE LIKE YOU?

“Bubbleman”
The Advantage
That’s comforting.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
“Tarzan Boy”
Baltimora
I wouldn’t change this song for the world.

WHAT HURTS RIGHT NOW?
“Pass the Mic”
Beastie Boys
It was a bad handoff.

WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?

“Snake Eater”
Cynthia Harrell
Really? Fine. But judging from 2005, this’ll be like the 6th post on this site with that title.

Well then…

December 5, 2008

Yeah, sorry, folks. Moving, getting a new job, being busy, being lazy, feeling sorry for myself (long story) and general lack of motivation have kinda submarined this site once again. NFL picks are suspended indefinitely. I’m pretty sure I woulda gone 9-7, 8-8 or 7-9 most weeks anyway.

I’ll be back eventually. Thanks for reading. All two of you.
