A Doofus Abroad: The Teej meets The Bacchus

As many of you know, from my travel-related ranting on twitter, I was in Italy the past week or so, with the wife and sister-in-law. We stayed in Florence, with day trips to Rome and Siena. It was an absolutely phenomenal time, and if you ever have the chance to visit Italy, I strongly urge you to do so.

As I did when I returned from my honeymoon in Ireland, I figured I'd throw in some pic filler from the trip, since I'm so photogenic and all. Today's entry comes from our walk through the Pizza Boboli Gardens, at the Pitti Palace (basically, the Medicis realllllly big house when they were grand dukes of Tuscany).

Here's two dudes with the same body type, except one is riding a turtle:


The Fountain of Bacchus, or fountain of the Dwarf Morgante, is located in the Boboli Gardens in Florence, in the north-west of the Pitti Palace on the wall where it passes the Vasari Corridor, a short distance from the garden of Palazzo Pitti. The sculpture is marble white and is 116 cm high.

And in other news...Manti Te'o, eh?

if we're ever going to get any traffic on this blog, we need some kind of "catfish" style hoax like the manti te'o story.

T.J. said...

no. no they would not.

T.J. said...

ROLL TIDE, Y'ALL

rob said...

T.J. said...

Marls said...

One time, I thought my girlfriend was pregnant but then she got a visit from Flo.

Kiss my grits.

I felt just like this the day I found out about Milli Vanilli

Danimal said...

Nice hog by the way

rob said...

jesus, am i overdue for a haircut. my hair has reached fletch-like proportions: 5'4", 5'9" with the afro.

Jerry said...

Hey it's the internet, the place where anything goes - might as well go for 5'7".

Geoff said...

Holy shit! Te'o's fake dead girlfriend worked for a construction company I represent, per the just released transcripts! If she actually existed, I probably would still never have met her:

FREE HAT!

Greg said...

Sacred fecal matter indeed!

Mark said...

Florida is playing without its best defensive player and is up 41-20 at Texas A&M early in the second half. Rob, you can cheer for Florida this season if it helps you deal with this disappointing Tribe season.

Mark said...

Archer season premier airs tonight at 10. If you don't know...

Mark said...

Rob- have you see the pictures of Bryant Denny Stadium covered in snow? Pretty cool.

rob said...

that shit's gonna shut alabama down for days.

i like the gators, but i like john beilein's wolverines a lot, too.

Clarence said...

Wolverines!!!!!!

I miss Swayze.

Clarence said...

Any among the G:TB faithful getting snowed on yet?

Mark said...

The Wolverines are really, really good. Entertaining As well.

VCU-St. Jose's has been one of the better games I've watched all year.

Mark said...

This game is great. VCU is my second favorite team in the country. I even own their shorts.

Clarence said...

Unless I missed it, the W&M fratres among us were remiss in not mentioning the passing of Dear Abby.

rob said...

not polite to remind people of their failings, clarence

Danimal said...

I find Mike Golic's absence over the last 2 days interesting.

rob said...

you think he was te'o's imaginary girlfriend?

rob said...

gonzaga/butler tomorrow night at 9:00. giggity.

Clarence said...

Golic is searching for the real perpetrator of the Te'o hoax. He believes his name to be "Charlie."

Mark said...

Golic's kid is playing in a college all star game this weekend, this his absence.

Also, Jazz Fest lineup was released yesterday. Black Keys are one of the headliners. Yeeeeuh.

Mark said...

Not just Gonzaga-Butler, Rob. Cuse-Louisville, Florida-Missouri & Ohio State-Michigan State.

rob said...

oh, boy!

Dave said...

where is zman? i've had no zman comments on SoD for days . . .

Clarence said...

We are seeing how long we can go without commenting on SoD. A week now!!!

Mark said...

Dave- I've never commented on SoD. Where's your concern for me? Huh?

zman said...

I haven't been to SoD since you posted your topless cupping photos.

rob said...

what is sod?

T.J. said...

kneel before sod

Greg said...

Only the penitent man shall pass.

zman said...

But in Latin Jehovah begins with an I.

Danimal said...

Mike Golic Jr. In an all-star game? There's a story for ya.
No one watch Lance last night? Shlara? I did not but have it on the old recording machine for my Fri eve viewing.

T.J. said...

wonder what Cane Lover thinks of all this Te'o stuff?

Squeaky said...

I watched the 'Lance' show last night. He is an evil person. He said he was sorry but there is no way he meant it. His body language and eye movements were dead giveaways. It all boils down to him being a rich-ass bully who would win at any cost and thought nothing of ruining peoples lives who were trying to tell the truth.

It's hard to believe he could come out looking worse than before the interview but he managed to do it. He is an egomaniac of the highest order.

Danimal said...

ya know who really gets hosed in this whole deal? his kids. not. fair. fucked up. he's certainly been lying to them forever and feeding them w/ammo when other kids give them shit about their dad. f'ing dick. i wonder how their day was today.

Dave said...

you guys are banning SoD just because i posted some topless cupping photos? i thought you had stronger stomachs.

Clarence said...

Nobody's banning you, Dave. We're simply suggesting that we would comment if you showed some full frontal female nudity.

Dave said...

i will ask my wife, but i doubt she'll be on board.

T.J. said...

dave, pro tip: the key to good internet nudes is NOT asking permission

zman said...

Just like Dave's uninvited cupping treatment.

rob said...

pour some out for prop joe. r.i.p. robert chew.

Dave said...

just beat my family at monopoly. wow am i drunk . . .

Mark said...

Penne ala vodka sauce with shrimp for dinner tonight. My father in law is alright.

Danimal said...

Te'o is going to pull so much fake strange now it is sick.

mayhugh said...

How about the SURGING Washington Wizards? Those guys are playing with some swagger...

T.J. said...
