The Usual Duckspects

Welcome to the Duck Dynasty portion of our program, ladies and gentlemen.  There will be another edition later in the week, but for now, these two paragraphs will have to do.  Eh hem.  Swiss Family Robertson, I remember when you sauntered into my life.  It was a cold, drizzly evening - I have no idea, weather doesn't affect me, just figured this enhanced the story - and A&E was running a marathon of a show I've never heard of before, as they are prone to do.  Long story short, watched 4 episodes and was hooked.  To this very day, I still have Season 1, and some of Season 2, scattered about on the DVR.  I'll throw on the classic episodes whenever there isn't anything on, or when I'm eating.  Or when it is raining and I feel sad (I lied, weather affects me greatly).  Those three options pretty much cover anytime I'm inside and/or near a TV.
.
It felt like that first paragraph went really well.  Like I covered all my bases, even gave a nice anecdote about the first time I watched the show.  May have gotten a little too personal about my rain issues, but that's alright.  Rain is depressing, everybody knows that.  Whether or not you want to admit it, that's up to you.  So I'll close with this.  The reason the pic took so long, was because I had to come correct.  In the entire English language, what are the only other two words that could come close to matching "Duck" and "Dynasty"?  That's right.  "Keyser" and "Soze".  Pronounced SO-zay, for the uninitiated.  Don't know how to do that thing over the "e" on the computer and it's too late for me to learn tonight.  Seacrest out.

LINC'D: The Ballad of DeShawn and Abe

I almost don't want to write my standard two paragraphs for this particular post.  I just want people to bask in the fact that DeShawn Stevenson (he's the one on the right) has a tattoo of Abraham Lincoln on his Adam's apple.  Not his neck, his Adam's apple.  Recognize the bravery, courage, and both the physical and mental fortitude that took.  I dare you to get a former U.S. president's face permanently inked just below yours.  I promise, it's a tough look to successfully pull off.  You don't just see people walking around with Grover Cleveland forever on their voice box.
.
I'm not joking about this either.  Normally, these write-ups are sarcastic and superfluous, but that first paragraph was me being serious.  Honest, even.  That tat has fascinated me since the first time I saw it.  I said to myself that one day, when I am grown and can handle such responsibility, I will pen a picture worthy of that presidential neck ink.  And so I did.  And it is now DeShawn Stevenson's twitter background.  Mission accomplished.
