This is a biology lesson so pay attention

Last night was the Oscars and if you know me, you know how much the girlfriend loves ... feeding you all ... and plying you with cocktails ... and ... um ... oh, yeah, watching the Oscars. Whatever. You get it, even if you went out too late the night before to have bothered to call or turn up to our little party.

But, I digress. The highlight of the evening was Best Supporting Actress winner Jennifer Hudson's areola slip during her performance of whatever song she sang in the movie that no one I know saw. After multiple rewinds, some super slo-mo, a few toasts to the gods that created HD and DVR, and confirmation from my brother, Matthew (who saw it first), and Loulie, we saw the first areola of the year.

Now we all know that the Nip Slip (basically NSFW but totally worth the hilarity of the site) was totally 2005.

Obvs.

But here's the thing. This was no nip slip. It was simply areola exposure, which I believe is the new nip slip. But, whatever. As we watched her performance, it was clear to me that her girls KNEW that this was the biggest stage on the planet and from their obvious jiggling about, they wanted to see the lights. And who can blame them? Hell, if spent my entire life in the dark, surrounded by silk and lace, well, I ... well ...

OK Ok. I'd probably like to stay there. But here at Pedro's, that's just how we'd like to roll.

The point is this: 2007 is officially the year of the Areola. So celebrate it! Love it. And don't forget where you heard it first.

Talk to me Goose!

The girlfriend is telling me that I'm talking too much about the Hoyas. I will say this:

1) She's got no clue.

2) I knew that going in.

3) Unless I tell you otherwise, I support her. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

And That's that.

She's watching Batman Begins...

And all I want to know is why New York City is called Gotham. Here's the Wikipedia definition, brought to courtesty of Pedro. No, no. You can thank me later, obvs.

I am assuming, of course, that you steakheads can actully read. But whatever. Let's get to the quote:

Gotham is known to be architecturally modeled after New York City, but with exaggerated elements of the styles and derives its name from a sobriquet for that real world city, first popularized by the author Washington Irving in his satirical work Salmagundi (1807). Prior to that the term "Gotham" had been used to refer to places with foolish inhabitants since as early as the mid-15th century.

Foolish inhabitants? Pshah!! What do they know?!?! Oviously none of these peeps lived in NYC during the early 90's. And by the way, click here to learn what Sobriquet means.

Ok Ok Ok . Eat me.

Fine. You know who you are and let me say this: I have heard. So I'm back. Now will you please shut the eff up????

In the meantime I want you to know that I believe without a doubt that I am the luckiest man in the world. Mostly because of the girlfriend - but also because of you knuckleheads that have insisited I come back. Thanks. You guys rock - just remember that going cowboy is only cool when you're in your twenties.

In the meantime, don't call me; my peeps will call you..

And on the Eighth day, God created the Georgetown Hoyas!!

Today my beloved Georgetown Hoyas defeated the No. 8 Pitt Panthers in a game that wasn't pretty but we'll take the win. First and foremost, respect to Pitt and their players, coaches and fans. I think we're pretty good but Pitt terrifies me; they are a very good team that plays with class and confidence, and I respect them for it. They didn't shoot well or have their best day and it still took all we had to get this one. That being said, the Hoyas are the best in the Big East, and they've earned it. We are lookin' good, Baby, loookin' good.

I got a text message from my old old and very missed friend Bobby before the game. It's been a while since Bobby pro-actively contacted me but it's Bobby, and even though I don't play for that team, I love him (despite the fact that he lives in LA). After all, at the beginning and end of every day, Bobby is a Hoya and my Home Beast - so what's not to love??? [Note to Bobby: Call Ness Ness]

I enjoyed the game with the usual suspects. And know this: you wish you were there.
