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 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!

1) Walton Goggins is freaking amazing.

2) I didn't dig the Raylan/Winona stuff (well, only to the degree of "Ooh! Look at these attractive people simulating sex on my television screen!"), but I thought Winona's bra was really cute.

3) Art's quip about how he doesn't care that Raylan's daddy didn't hug him made me laugh.

4) I think Ava is pretty and nuts and I continue to like her.

5) I'm sad that next week is the final episode.

6) Christina Hendricks is glorious.

7) The end.

BOYD BLEW UP A FREAKING METH TRUCK. FIRE IN THE HOLE INDEED.

Also, omg all that hot, sweaty manflesh. Jesus.

[stentoriansista.livejournal.com]

Um, I just got like seven dirty looks from my library study room co-inhabitants, b/c I couldn't keep in a laugh from that Stewart/Colbert/O'Brian (Oh, and now I'm thinking about slash. Is there Stewart/Colbert slash? I hurt my brain.) video. Well done. Also, Christina Hendricks melts my panties. Yes.

Walton Goggins deserves like fifty awards for last night. When he was testifying I was in awe. He is fucking AMAZING. As for Raylan/Winona, I prefer that vastly to Ava/Raylan. That latter pairing is just all wrong to me. He doesn't love her, she's rocking some 20 year old crush, he claims he doesn't want to save her, but that's all it's about. The two of them are just not right together, she gets spineless and he gets stupid. Having said that, back to Winona and her AWESOME bra. I loved that scene cause there were naked Tim parts. And he smiled. And there was kissing. Yes, I am that easy.

Art and Raylan in the office were superb. Raylan and Arlo in the conference room were on FIYAH. Literally, my teeth were on edge.

In short: JUSTIFIED YAYE!!!

[oh-mcgee.livejournal.com]

Everything Art says is gold. And Raylan's FACE when he took away the whiskey bottle! He was like, "Wait..what?" So confused. Raylan gets what he wants! He looked like he wanted to have a tantrum. So he just drank Art's instead.

And Art's, "Well, I took responsibility for you, didn't I?" (paraphrased) was just so damn sweet.

WORLD CUP! \o/ I even made a bracket and everything (nevermind that it's probably oh-so-wrong).

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

The Awesome that is Art's drinking rules. This was my favorite scene in the episode... I think. I loved how proud Raylan was when he got the extra glass.

Boys was on fire last night. He testifying in the church nearly made me swoon with the spirit...the spirit of Walton Goggins awesome talent. I gotta get me some Boyd icons. *goes off to bother oh_mcgee*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Is there Stewart/Colbert slash? Baby, is water wet?! I would check the old yuletide website, b/c I know sparky77 wrote an awesome story back in the day. And just look around. I know scrunchy used to write Pundit!Slash, which is what it's called. And so does bessemerprocess. I may have gotten that LJ handle wrong though.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Art is totally Raylan's surrogate daddy. That part where Art was all, "No, I prefer to wait until after breakfast" and then when he was all "Just cause your daddy's didn't hug you much." I nearly WEPT at the awesome.

Your icon. It.. You... He...WHERE IS MINE?! Also, I told themorgue that you were gonna hook me up with Boyd icons. Possibly from the testifying scene. Is this true. Did you make some anyway? [vbg]

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

IT'S MY MOST FAVORITE TIME OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS!

I have no icons. How do I have no football icons. Shopping time!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Everything was my favorite about last night. Raylan kicking Art out of the office. Raylan and Art and the whiskey. Boyd TESTIFYING. Naked Raylan bits. Yeah, favorite definitely.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I want a Boyd testifying doll! When you pull the string he does the adorable bouncing on his feet thing.

[oh-mcgee.livejournal.com]

OH GOD the testifying scene, lol. It was so terrifyingly AUTHENTIC I could barely stand to watch it. And the "Not done just yet, preacher." Hahaha. Oh Walter, you are magnificent. ILU.

And I also love how Bo is all, "I will cut you," right after they walk out of church. I love both him and Arlo, stubborn asses that they are.

[there will be blood icons]

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

He is verrrrrrrrrrry flexible and agile. I'm just saying. For like reference in like old skool fic you might be contemplating. What? I am being helpful!

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

He's also almost as skinny and Raylan. I don't think he eats either.

[wordsalone.livejournal.com]

I watched the scene in the church three times. I'm in awe of that man.

What I love is that Raylan bitches to anyone who'll listen about how much he doesn't want to save people. But there's Winona, Ava, Arlo, and the most important one of all, Boyd.

I want Ava to stick around and be sassy, without being totally infatuated with Raylan. I know it's hard because he's RAYLAN, but still. I want her to be strong. That episode where she gets kidnapped? I loved that she fought as hard as she could in the van.

When Arlo mentioned Momma Givens? I thought Raylan was going to knock him flat on his behind.

\o/

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Boyd is skinnier than Raylan, and he's got the tight jeans to prove it. I was telling M that the men on this show are terrifyingly skinny. Everybody except Bo and Art are the size of broomsticks. Hopefully there won't be any strong breezes on the set.

OH GOD the testifying scene, lol. It was so terrifyingly AUTHENTIC I could barely stand to watch it. And the "Not done just yet, preacher." Hahaha. Oh Walter, you are magnificent. ILU.

OMG! WORD! When he gave the preacher the hand my mouth dropped open and I was like, "oh. snap."

He and Bo are awesome together. This season is clearly the fathers and sons arc, thankfully they are doing a bang up job with it.

[luci0logy.livejournal.com]

The football post was epic - thanks for the link - but not complete without Becks. *curse his injury*

[oh-mcgee.livejournal.com]

Ahaha and when Arlo was all, "You want me to me a snitch?" and Raylan was all, DOH! The fuck did you think you were here for, tea and cakes? xD

Surprise!

Walton Goggins is totally trying to steal this show. And if it weren't for Nick Searcy (Art) and Timothy Olyphant (Raylan) that would totally be happening. Well, and Helen too. I love Helen. That woman is BAD. ASS. She needs to be on all the time.

I totally agree with you about Raylan bitching about how he doesn't want to save anybody, but his actions are saying a whole bunch of something else.

And, Ava, I understand the Raylan mojo; I know it must be hard, but baby, GET A SPINE!

I am still surprised that that meeting in the conference room didn't end in bloodshed.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

OMG! OMG! For me? The hand! The hand! That was straight up X-Men, Back you devil business. I was like whoa. Even Bo was like, uh, what now?

Thank you!

*bounces happily*

[oh-mcgee.livejournal.com]

He is so crazycakes.Man just loves an audience.

Sort of o/t, but I bet him and Raylan sat around and prank called people when they were teenagers. Except Boyd did most of the calling and pranking and Raylan just kind of sprawled and was entertained by hyperactive!Boyd.

PS: His hair was kind of epic in that scene, y?

I don't know anything about football (I have in fact actively gone out of my way to avoid football; we have rugby, nothing else is needed) but that ad is AMAZING. Also, the hot men don't hurt.
