I Love My Sport

My favorite things about NASCAR.com are as follows: Snark, TrackSmack and Power Rankings. Because snark inevitably colors the other two. Heck, snark colors the color commentary during the race and *before* the race.

Other NASCAR fans...is it just me, or is NASCAR the snarkiest sport?

Anyway, this week's Power Rankings are fun and snarky.

And they also reference The Duke's Of Hazzard and Bo Duke. (Seriously, how many times do I have to tell you folks of the coolness of this sport?)

Choice bits of laughter:

Dale Jarrett

He’s hoping NASCAR changes the points system to award bonus points for commercial performances. If they do, Jarrett and Waltrip will fight it out for the title every year.

Elliott Sadler

Apparently, he is refusing to cut his hair until he fails to finish a race.

Ah ha! I'm not the only person mocking the hair of the drivers. Even NASCAR.com is on the bandwagon (and not just with Michael Waltrip).

Ryan Newman

If he doesn’t pick it up, the headline writers will have a field day writing, Goodbye, Newman. For heaven’s sake, Ryan, don’t let it come to that.

Casey Mears

Word of advice, Casey: When -- not if -- Ward Burton invites you hunting this winter, don’t go.

This was following an early incident in this last Sunday's race wherein Ward tried to pass Casey on the first lap...and Casey said no by whacking Ward's car good and effectively ruining it for the day...which led to Ward being in the midst of a big ole nasty wreck later in the race.

Jeff Burton

He did a very good job as a color commentator during the Busch race last weekend. Which means he didn’t scream when a wreck was happening.

Joe Nemechek

He signed for another year in the 01, making him the longest-tenured driver of the 01 since Bo Duke.

Sterling Marlin

Sterling needs to teach these drivers that you don’t have to talk for 10 minutes on-camera to explain why you didn’t finish the race. 1. Done blowed up, get ‘em next week. 2. Done wadded up, get ‘em next week.

When Harry Potter and NASCAR collide

Well, it seems NASCAR and Harry Potter have conspired to fry my brain. Besides the major "what the hell" moment it caused...really, there is no besides. I'm still going "what the hell".

Sirius at the Glen

Right there. In bold in the banner at the top. Sirius at the Glen. And the little doggy in the icon. Which one of them was the werewhoodle? Sirius or Remus? Shut up, I get all of my Harry Potter knowledge from musesfool. Hence the werewhoodle.

This post brought to you by the fact that I took a nap at lunch and am therefore befuzzled and bemused.

Memes, by which I am amused

Mainly it's the fact that I get to be Xander, although I am giggling over swordnmace as Buffy and plum_evil as Spike.

Sure to make some squee

I'm finally getting on the ball and going to email Sam Jones' agent to see if I can get an interview for Kryptonsite. Wish me luck!

In anticipation of that, I decided to head on over to IMDB to just do a rundown of all that he's been in.

Dude. Sam was in an episode of Saved By The Bell: The New Class. Wasn't the original, but hey, it still had Mr. Belding!

Shut up. You know a bunch of you watched SBTB too.
