Hahaha yeah so I took a few days off. I pulled off a 6-player trade in my fantasy NBA league a couple days ago that saw me give up Derrick Rose (throwing in Brandon Bass and Jared Dudley) for Tyreke Evans, Ty Lawson, Serge Ibaka and a new copy of Skyrim. Now if you're saying "Dave it looks like you just traded the league MVP for a video game" then you are correct.
You think that's bad? Back in September I traded Megatron to a guy for Miles Austin so that he wouldn't play any country music for the two hours I had to spend running the GSA booth at Club Day.Anyway that's where the inspired bout of laziness came from. Skyrim. I know I'm two months late to the party so I'll just echo pretty much every good thing you've heard about it. I've only had it freeze up a couple times.
Here's some links:
The 5 Reasons Marriage Scares Men (Cracked) This list only applies to non-douchebags. If you're still all YO CAN'T BE TIED DOWN GOTTA GET MAD PUSSY BRO by 25 then you deserve acid-based lubricant.
WWE RAW Best & Worst 1/2/12 (With Leather) I always link this but this time I'm linking it with love since my comment made the top ten list on the last page. BIG TIME.
My last point I want to make before I go take a dump and play more Skyrim is this: Where we are today as a society, with our current level of technology/social media outlets/texting/etc the act of communicating has become mind-bogglingly easy. Easy, but terrible. Just awful. I'm going to put the point of my rant behind the jump.

Wednesday Links and such
I skipped a day. I also bought Star Wars: The Old Republic. Yeah. It's been installing/patching for 7 hours now and only another 5.94GB to go. I only had one semester until graduation, too. I gave my WoW account to my girlfriend. I even handed over the authenticator. She has a bunch of people at work she can play with and I happened to have a few hundred gold on that server so what the heck. In case you're still reading here's some links:
Best/Worst of WWE RAW 12/26 (With Leather) I used to write for a mid-sized "Wrestling Opinion Board" (we'd call those blogs now) with this guy Brandon back like a decade ago. After being part of that Funhouse sports creation he's now the editor at a site I had already been reading, while I am a 32-year-old college senior. The moral here is that if you want to be a writer, keep writing.
11 Overlooked Deaths of 2011 (Cracked) I love to read this list every year. Also, my homepage is Wikipedia's Recent Deaths, so, maybe I'm weird. Or...MAYBE I just like to be on the cutting edge of important obituaries? Eh? Ehhhh? #imweird
The Year In Swag (A/V Club) I had not seen this article when I decided to start this pop culture+sports+asshole opinions blog but now I at least have something to strive for. Oh hey if you're under 25 this is what swag means so stop using it in every fucking sentence and hashtag because you're starting to sound like Smurfs.
We're at 5.66GB left on the download. I'm so pumped for this game. I love Star Wars. I was checking out the action figures at Wal-Mart earlier and holy shit. $8.96 for a regular Star Wars toy. No, really. That's a WAL-MART PRICE. And it's the same basic 3.75" figure they've ALWAYS SOLD. One person, one or two accessories like a lightsaber or gun, the end. They also had General Grievous masks and spinning lightsabers. Forget arthritis, this is the worst part of getting older.
Have a day.

Adjective Monday
Hey idiots I'm back in the land of internet.
If there's gonna be Black Friday and Cyber Monday, then it's only fair that the month of Consumeristmas ends with Materialistic Monday(We'll have to work on the name next year). Today is the day you ungrateful fucks take back all the stuff someone who cares about you took the time to pick out and trade it in for what you'd rather have. Because that's what the holiday is about.

Goodbye Internet
I'm gonna head to my mom's house for the holiday. The Christmas one. My internet usage is going to be cut by about 95% so I'll mostly just be hanging out with my dog and playing Saint's Row 3 and Dead Island. I wish I had Skyrim but whatever.
Best of 2011
I'm a sharer. I tend to think my opinion is better than everyone else's and so I put together a list of my favorite things on the internet from the past year. And maybe some things not on the internet. Whatever. I don't work for you.
Tuesday Links
I hate these Tacky Christmas Sweater Parties. Okay, I get it asshole. You're wearing those awful Christmas sweaters ironically. Congrats you're doing what a hipster does, only fatter. If you needed an excuse to drink I could take a look at you and give you three or four before you had to resort to "look how ugly these sweaters are lol ok let's do a SHOT!!!"
the Funbag (Deadspin) Drew's weekly mailbag column, one of the absolute highlights of my week, every week. Drew and I have the same opinions on a lot of topics. Most of the time when I'm reading this column I'll say to myself "wow that was a good joke for that topic, I woulda thought of that, now he beat me to it and I can never use that joke. FUCK YOU DREW MAGARY" or whatever.
Best/Worst WWE Raw (With Leather) Justin is filling in for Brandon this week so you'll get to read all about last night's (pretty good) episode of RAW with 14% less references to Indy Wrestlers and roughly 400% less references to Brandon's Girlfriend Brandon Has A Girlfriend You Guys Did You Know That. I think Brandon is afraid all his Virginia relatives are going to drag him behind a truck or something. I don't blame him, that state is right next to West Virginia and those people...*shudder*
Man Eats Cocaine From Brother's Butt, Dies. No shit I don't know where to start with this one. My friend Alex summed it up best with "Your move, Florida."
NEW ON NETFLIX INSTANT TODAY
Some WWE docs like Dusty Rhodes, Piper, and Ric Flair among others. Also the one about the AWA.If you don't like old wrasslin' or would prefer indie artsy-fartsy things there's also Tiny Furniture and Broken Flowers. Also added was The Flaming Lips: The Fearless Freaks. That has got to be better than the KISS concert they put on here.
Here is a dog.
