Week Nine BlogPoll Ballot: The Question Isn't "Auburn or Oregon," It's "Rhett or Scarlett"

PrintMy SEC Power Poll ballot has been cast scrapped, so it is time to turn my attention to this week’s BlogPoll ballot. Yeah, Saturday stunk, but, as was pointed out in one of the comment threads, tomorrow is another day, so here goes:
You know what? It turns out I’m still not there yet. It turns out that I’m still in Rhett Butler "Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn" mode. This was the most gut-wrenching Georgia loss since the 2008 Alabama game.
When casting my BlogPoll ballot, I’m supposed to tell you what I watched. This week, I didn’t watch much. I cast disinterested glances at the Boise State-Louisiana Tech game on Tuesday night, I had the Florida State-N.C. State game on in the background with the sound muted while I transcribed the tape of my interview with Robbie Burns on Thursday night, and I killed time while waiting for the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party to start by watching portions of the South Carolina-Tennessee game before watching the Georgia-Florida game. Once our game was over, I turned off the TV and I haven’t turned it back on since.
The bottom line remains the same. There’s absolutely no way the Bulldogs should have lost that game, and, until I come to grips with the fact that they did, I frankly don’t care about which 25 college football teams are the top 25 teams in Division I-A. All that really matters is the fact that Georgia isn’t one of them.
Don’t be surprised if this theme continues throughout the week.

You Seem Down
Go to the kitchen, take out the blender & make this:
3 scoops ice cream
5 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey (I leave this out as I think honey is kind of gross)
1 banana
1 cup milk
It works for me every time!
What's the science on that, Stephen1980?
By that, I mean, what chemical combination contained in that concoction comes together to alter the user’s mood for the better?
It’s more or less organic, so I’m not overly suspicious, but I’m curious, and I definitely like to know what I’m ingesting.

Sweets release endorphins in the brain
which makes one happy (me anyway). A glass of chocolate milk does the same. So does gatorade, but I thought I’d not mention that lest you think I was trying to annoy you in some way. Jalapeno peppers do too. I recommend the mild ones. The hot ones negate the pleasure induced with the displeasure of one’s mouth hurting afterwards. Sweets and jalapenos – the legal drugs. Just don’t overuse them lest you become fat. I don’t think you have anything to worry about though unless you have gained a ton since the last time you posted your pic.
Adderall does that, too...
… and has a lot less calories.
Cocaine, too.
(Not that I’m advocating drug use, kids.)

are you sure
you aren’t advocating drug use?
I’d explain why women love chocolate right about now but i’m afraid it would be entirely too disturbing for the menfolk.
I can bake like a demon.
Talk to me more about Adderall and cocaine, vineyarddawg.
I’m not considering using either of them, but I want to explore all my options. In particular, ever since I read Barbara Strauch’s The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain, I’ve been doing aerobic exercise every weekday, because getting your heart rate up increases blood flow to the brain and has many benefits for mental acuity. If cocaine makes you happy and increases your heart rate, it really sounds like it could be the cure for what ails me. Plus which, I could combine Stephen1980’s and your suggestions while listening to the Patterson Hood song “Belinda Carlisle Diet.”
(Note: I am kidding. Really.)

A little Katrina and the Waves, perhaps?
I have to admit, “Walking on Sunshine” is a peppy tune!
Go 'Dawgs!
how about........
a little B52’s – Love Shack (if it would let me I’d post the video right here)
I can bake like a demon.
You know, in that movie Trainspotting...
… heroin seemed to do the trick pretty well, too.

Allow me to suggest mescaline
It won’t necessarily make you feel better per se, but I can promise you won’t be thinking about Georgia football. You’ll be far too busy hanging with a magical lizard creature as you traverse the sandy dunes of the canyon of the mind… and you’ll probably get to hang with:
A. Elvis
B. Jim Morrison
C. An Indian
Or D. All of the above

Does option "C"...

That looks like someone that knows how to party!
So yes.

And that guy on the left
Looks like a husky, young Tom Brady… so maybe there’s an option E.

I think exercise must be an antidote to depression,
since it’s opposite, sitting on the sofa watching Georgia play Florida is a primary cause.
