If you're happy and you know it... shoot yourself a Crowder!

1. Conan O'Brien was in the city last night. And he had a dance-off with Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart. I know. I know. Watch it here.

2. In NINE DAYS the World Cup begins. I feel like I do not have a sufficient vocabulary to explain exactly how excited I am for this. This Nike Commercial comes close to my level of excitement. It's football, people! Real football, that is played with your feet, not the fake kind with the shoulder pads and 300 lbs behemoths. Football is graceful and beautiful and sweaty. And endurance. How can you hate on a sport where you have to have the endurance to run full out for 90 minutes? I can see some of you fading on me. I know how to speak your language though.

Presenting [livejournal.com profile] sarkastic's The Non-Football Fan's Guide to the World Cup or What to do When You're Just Here for the Hot Men. Read it. Embrace it. Print it out and use it for jerk off material. What? I'm just trying to be helpful.

3. Last night's Justified is officially my favorite episode... until next week. Raylan. Boyd. Winona's clothes! The Awesome that is Art. I cover you in hearts and whiskey and ammunition, Justified. (Spoilers for last night in comments!)

4. Last but not least, does anybody have the Broken Bells album, which is the new album from Danger Mouse and, uh that, dude from The Shins. Jesus. I have mentioned The Shins in my LJ I may be barred entrance from my favorite bar for the rest of my life now. And yet, it's not my fault! They cast Hotass Girlfriend of Awesome, Christina Hendricks, in their video for 'The Ghost Inside' and apparently people have seen this, but I cannot and I weep with envy and frustration. But like, not really, my tear ducts have all dried up.

Uh, that's about it really. Happy June!

Ooh! Football (soccer variation) primer! I have an OC who plays and I have no idea about the game (except what I learned in Bend It Like Beckham [besides that Parminder Nagra is awesome and there really should be more/better femmeslash and/or threesome fic for that movie]...)

Thanks muchly for the link!

I never knew you are into football woo hoo! That picspam has made me VERY EXCITED about the World Cup now.

This post is made of so many different kinds of win, I don't even have words.

Well done!

That is one quality commercial. FIFA World Cup goodness countdown has been on for the last month in my house! Thank you for the link to the wonderful picspam of fit players :)

[livejournal.com profile] sparky77 and I have been talking about such things like wee!Raylan and wee!Boyd. I can't decide if Boyd's hair was more Sid Vicious or more just this massive shock that hung over one eye no matter what he did.

I'm glad you liked it!

But it's football. How can you not love football? Not that I don't enjoy a good scrum too (ahem), but FOOTBALL.

[livejournal.com profile] hackthis cannot come to the keyboard at this moment as apparently she has stroked out on the floor, but she thanks you for your comment and will perhaps be verbal some time in 2011.

Women don't jerk off, we glow. Oh, wait. That's about sweating. Yeah, women totally jerk off.

Wow. I don't know you are, but I am already in love with you for posting this.

I am so fascinated when Bo and Boyd are standing next to each other. How did such a big man have such a skinny son?

OH JON, YOU MAKE SUCH A LOVELY MEXICAN WAITER <3

And that football post is delicious.

Oh babes - I am not particularly excited about the World Cup (although, you know, I might watch the odd game - but being in a country suffused with football mania, and colleagues who are football mad, and not being generally that hot on tv sports, it doesn't ignite me) but the ad is fantastic. Especially Rooney's dream sequences. And Gael Garcia Bernal as Ronaldo. Or Ronal- d'oh.

ANd Justified - man, that show started very strong, then had a slightly flat few episodes when it went all monster of the week, and then it stepped back into the Boyd/Crowder/fathers arc and omg it has just gone from one level of awesome to the next every week. The acting is pretty damn fine - Boyd is mesmerising in church (I am finally beginning to believe that no, it's not an act, he really is a religious nut); the father/son dynamic, with both Givenses and Crowders, are some of the most powerful scenes out there (especially Arlo and Raylan - when Arlo mentioned Raylan's mom, I thought his son was going to hit him); and the parallels with Art as surrogate dad (I loved the whiskey moment, and Raylan drinking Art's glass when he was deprived of more, it was so... teenage!).

And the women! Winona who cannot resist her ex husband's smouldering hotness (I mean, srsly Winona, how can you even look at Gary when you had Raylan in your bed? Huh?); Ava and her gun-toting ways; Helen!

AAAANd bonus sex scene (which although it was poorly lit, was rather hot). With Raylan stripping and glimpses of hot manflesh.

Damn.

Best. Show. Around.

Thanks. The photo is stolen shamelessly from here (http://warmingglow.uproxx.com/2010/06/conan-versus-colbert). And this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l8h5R_7x3g) is a video which includes that bit of their act (although the photo is way better without context).

That was not the intended effect... The intended effect was fanfic (fanfic's always the best outcome). But I'm glad you like it :)

Bo takes after his mama. Bowman probably took after his daddy.
