BRING EM TO THE DOME

“We used to say ‘Who dat’ since way back when / Now we’re saying ‘We dat’ every time we win / You can write it down, take a picture, tell a friend / We already done it. We’re gonna do it again” — Rebirth Brass Band

I’m all kinds of happy. I’m sitting here with a sore throat, but with a glow of happiness from last night’s tight game between the NEW ORLEANS #SAINTS against our biggest foes the dirty birds (aka the atlanta falcons). We’re battling it for NFC and NFC South supremacy.

I’ll keep the SAINTS talk to a minimum since I know some of my readers don’t like/care about football. Let’s put it this way. Last nights game took some of the dirty birds swagger away, and nothing bad about that, y’all.

I hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays. Mine have been very nice and chill (too many times i’ve been hungover, but that is what NEW ORLEANS is for I guess.

Happy Holidays! Imagine that this amazing SANTA APE is singing, "All I Want for Christmas is for the SAINTS to go the Superbowl"

DIE-HARD FAN PORTION: Where Y’all get to ask me questions!

You can e-mail me or leave questions for me to answer in the comment section. I love to answer questions- a favorite pass time for me.

1. my favorite thing about your blog are not your words or your humor (cause neither make much sense). what keeps me coming back for more are the pics of monkeys you find. keep em coming! – cici  (from tonka, NJ)

That’s a weird compliment mixed with not so nice things. I’m with you on the monkey/ape pics. I love them clearly. I spent hours of my life trolling the internet looking for these pictures. HOURS! Here is a new cute one I’d say.

I'm trying to figure it out, too

This chimp is wiser than us all. He can write with BOTH HANDS! BOTH! Amazing!

2. yyyyyyyooo mami! I LOVE your new layout. Looks great. Really enjoy the new banner. – Darren (from San Diego, CA)

Thank you, Darren. This might just be one of the nicest things said to me of all things said to me on my blog.

3. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON THIS PIC BELOW. NO IDEA! NONE! HELP! – Bea (from Philadelphia, PA)

Everyone Deserves to be Loved

I see how you may be confused by this picture, but luckily I’m an expert in chimp picture behavior. First look this picture seems very cute/sweet, and even romantic because it’s in black and white. However, if you are truly paying attention you notice that one chimp is in fact tying the other chimp up in a sexually suggestive way. I think there is true love and respect here, but I also think there is high kink here, too. They really are just like us!

That’s all for today y’all! WHO DAT SAY THEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS… can’t wait for the playoffs. TWO DAT! I’ll be in the SUPERDOME for the last game of the regular season on January 2nd! I’ll be drunk probs, but also excited to see my boos!

That what’s mistaken for closeness… Is just a case of mitosis

Hey Friends! It’s been a couple of days since my last post (like I said before it could get like this, but no fear, I’m here now (comma splices and all)).

So, it’s come to my attention from my friend, Nidhi, that I write toooo muccch about the SAINTS. So, I’m not allowed to write about them again until after Monday’s game against the Dirty Birds (aka the Atlanta Falcons, our biggest NFC South Rivals). So when it comes to the SAINTS talk my lips are sealed (but sealed with a cool BLACK AND GOLD tape).

On a slightly related note, but not really. I’m currently addicted to the facebook application game FARMVILLE. Y’all heard of it? I’ve only been playing for a couple of days now, but I’m addicted! For those of you who don’t know what Farmville is let me tell you about it:

“Well.. you just plough land and plant stuff and then harvest them. The more points you get you go up levels. And yeah each plant has different harvest times and you gotta harvest them else they’ll die.. its good.. loads of people have it.. i didn’t realise it was so popular (:” – from Yahoo Answers

It really is addictive. My sisters got me hooked on it, and like I said I’ve only been playing for a couple of days but already on level 8 (how sad). Here is a picture of my farm:

I’m the little farmer in the middle of it all

To give you a better idea how far I still have to go my middle sister is way ahead of me in terms of level. She is at level 22. LEVEL 22, people. Look at her farm please:

Yeah, Her Farm is Poppin’

The game is ridiculous, and I have no idea why I got so addicted so quickly. I’m not a game-kind-of-girl. Maybe I love this game because I love animals. For instance, sometimes a random animal will need to be adopted. Such a post will look like this:

How can I possibly say no to a cow so cute and lonely? I need it, and I need to sell the milk (2 rights make a right right)

Why I really love this game I think goes back to when I was little and I would play Oregon Trail on the computer. Remember that game, y’all? Where you and a bunch of people you invented would chill in a covered wagon and head out into the West in the quest for a new home in Oregon (of all places).

The game never mentioned the fact you were going to steal land that was already inhabited by people for thousands of years. In fact the only mention of Native Americans in that game was the kind Native American man you could pay to help you ford the big rivers (oh, and you had to pay him because otherwise inevitability you’d always either: a) die b) your oxen would drown c) 250 lbs of bison meat would spoil somehow.Oh, at the time I used to play that game I was a vegetarian, but I loved hunting for bison (messed up, right!).

Because I have an overactive imagination I wouldn’t just play the game on the computer, but in real life. My sister and I would use the twin beds in my bedroom as our covered wagons, and take a straw hat and tie a ribbon on it to make it bonnet-like (because that was the look back in the trail days).

So, my roomate needs to be weary if she comes home one day and I’m playing live-action farmville. If she walks into my room and I’m plowing, and adopted “ugly ducklings” that turn into swans. Then I may have to be committed.

DIE-HARD FAN PORTION WHERE Y’ALL GET TO ASK ME QUESTIONS

You can e-mail me or leave questions for me to answer in the comment section. I love to answer questions- a favorite pass time for me.

1. Hi Katnawlins, I think you’ll get a kick out of this picture? tell me if you do. – Stevie (St. Louis, MO) pic attached:

Chimps that can use old-timey phones better than me

Stevie! YES! I love the picture, and of course you knew I would. Yeah, I hate that that chimp knows how to use a rotary phone better than I ever will. He’s also so cute and inquisitive (or rather was, awww).

2. I hope you can help me out here. My mouth has been sort of achey especially on the right side. The other day I was eating a piece of non-free range bacon, and a whole chunk of tooth just came right out. It was epic! So, my question is should I go to the dentist or just eat free-range bacon? What do you recommend? Thanks. p.s. love the blog. – Jeremiah (Suffolk, MN)

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, Jeremiah. I’m not a doctor/dentist or even an orthodontist, but I’m pretty sure you just should be eating free-range bacon. Your tooth fell out because god is mad at you for eating pigs that have never felt the earth beneath their hooves. Also, god might be mad you were eating hooved animals (depending on which god you listen to). Hope that helped- don’t sue me.

3. Why can’t guys and girls just be friends? I have this guy friend and I’m not attracted to him at all, but he’s very quickly becoming one of my closest friends. Why does it have to cross the fine line of friendship? – Paulina (from Pittsfield, OR)

Great question, Paulina. I’m not from the school of thought that heterosexuals of the opposite sex can’t be friends. I think that’s a silly out-dated idea created by fathers scared of their dowry money being spent before they could land the richest dude in the little village they lived in. Most likely he’s confusing his feelings of friendship and closeness for those of romantic ones, which with time he’ll see how wrong his feelings are (haha poor guy). Or he just wants to be in a relationship, and y’all get along so well he figures why not? I don’t know, I’m not inside his head (thank god).

That’s all for today, guys! Remember Farmville is highly addictive, but the animals on it are adorable! Till next time!
