I figured it’s about time someone took their 10 favorite pictures of the week from icanhascheezburger.com and compiled them into a meaningless Top 10 post. I’ll do this every week just because I can. If you’re lucky and nice, I might even pick my favorite 10 for the month.
Check out the top 10 for the week of August 26 - September 1 after the jump.

I’m in two fantasy football leagues this year. One with some friends and the other with some random douches.
The one with my friends had its draft on Friday. I had to miss it and, of course, the auto-draft was so-so. Below is my team. It’s a league of 10 teams so it will be pretty competitive.
Team Name: Sex Cannons
Starters
QB - Phillip Rivers
WR - T.J. Houshmandzadeh
WR - Anaquan Boldin
WR - Andre Johnson
RB - Joseph Addai
RB - Willie Parker
TE - Tony Gonzalez
K - Jeff Wilkins
DEF - PittsburghBench
QB - Eli Manning
WR - Ronald Curry
WR - Kevin Curtis
WR - Drew Bennett
TE - Desmond Clark
RB - Jamal Lewis
RB - DeAngelo Williams
K - Josh Scobee
DEF - St. Louis
I’m satisfied with my QBs. I think Rivers will be decent enough and I’ll only have to use Manning on the weekends the Chargers have a bye. Rivers doesn’t throw a lot of picks (especially compared to Manning) and I think the Chargers will be a Super Bowl caliber team this year.
I’m nervous about my RBs. Parker should be solid this year as he has almost no competition, but he can be injury prone. Addai had 7 touchdowns last year, but none in the last four games of the regular season. He averaged less than 70 yards per game on the ground. I guess that’s not horrible for a rookie and he was a decent fantasy back when all was said and done. I’m also worried about Jamal Lewis being able to produce with the Browns. He’s starting on my bench for just that reason.
Houshmandzadeh and Boldin make a great one-two punch at WR, but the other four I have to choose from to start are pretty pathetic. At least all three starters had over 1,000 years receiving last year. Meh. I have one of the best fantasy TEs so I guess I can’t complain too much. However, KC’s QB still leaves a lot to be desired so I don’t know how effective Gonzalez will be this year.
My two defenses are average at best and both were ranked out of the top 10 in terms of fantasy points scored by defenses last year. Buffalo’s defense is available, I might go after them and tell St. Louis to GTFO.
All in all, I don’t think I much of a shot at winning the whole damn thing. Maybe someone will pop up on the FA wire or someone like Addai and Johnson might just end up playing past their potential. It could be a long year for the Sex Cannons.
My other team (i can has HGH?) drafts on Wednesday. I’ll be around for that one.

Had fun this weekend. Did a little skiing but mostly just relaxed. I forgot to put sun screen on my legs so they’re a little red. Oh, and the mosquitoes were fucking vicious so I probably also have West Nile.
Good times.
Closing the lake house (owned by Katie’s parents) every year always signifies summer’s end. It’s always kind of depressing because it feels like we just opened it. Time flies by too fast. Family will still get together throughout the winter, but it’s just not the same. It’s always nice looking forward to lazy days at the lake after a hectic week at work.
But that’s enough emo talk. Let’s play catch up.
My friend Erech had no running waterfor about 12 hours on Thursday. I found this highly ironic considering he was poking fun at the fact I could not make poops in my own toliet and then flush said poops. As he so eloquently put it, I hope he had fun shooting his “proton stream” at Jenny’s “turds.”
I missed quite an exciting opening to the college football season. Appalachian State beat Michigan and Georgia Tech routed Notre Dame. It was hilarious to see that Notre Dame used all three QBs in the loss. Football also signals the end of summer as the NFL also kicks off this week. I’ll be watching to see how soon Rex collapses for the Bears and if the Bengals are going to be as bad as they were in the preseason.
I finally got to play Blue Dragon last night. I am liking it so far. The game has gotten hammered for it’s pathetic story, but I find it a little intriguing up to this point. The voice acting is good, but the dialogue is downright laughable. I can understand the criticism for the game’s lack of character development. I’m about 4 hours in so I can’t give any good impressions. My ultimate worry is it will become too repetitive, which is death for an RPG. I’ll try to post some impressions if I ever get 10+ hours in. To this point, however, I think it’s been money well spent. I just have a feeling when Oblivion GOTY, Eternal Sonata and Halo 3 drop (all this month, mind you) I’ll forget all about Blue Dragon.
I guess that’s about it. I really, really needed that mini vacation.
