Those fucking commercials are what FINALLY made me like him. I've been holding out for YEARS because of the Auburn/Tennessee rivalry and then the Patriots/Colts rivalry, BUT I CAN DENY HIM NO LONGER.

"That guy's pretty good. If you like...6'5, 230 pound quarterbacks, laser-rocket arm..." BWAH.

OH!

AIEIEIIEEI! HAHHAA, now I can watch it OVER AND OVER (not like I haven't seen it a million times, BUT STILL).

And dude, totally. I mean, I went to Vandy so we had our own Tennessee rivalry (AND WHO LOOKS GOOD IN THAT COLOR ORANGE, I ASK YOU, NOBODY) but I, too, am helpless in the face of a guy who doesn't care about looking goofy.

Oh, hee.

Oh, and obviously the 'stache. OH PEYTON, YOU DORK.

Oh, my god. May favorite ever is the other Mastercard (Visa?) one where he's outside the TGI Fridays-type place and goes "ooh ooh ooh" until the one waiter dude throws him his apron. AHHAHAHAHAHAHA! God. Peyton.

Hee! I love Peyton Manning, too. Partly because he's a home-town boy (more or less), but also - in those commercials he seems willing to poke a little fun at himself, which I always find endearing.

And, yes. Y'all. Which, I might add, is always plural, dammit, despite the stereotype of dumb southerners.

It's Thursday! YayYayYay! Why are the coveralls so damn hot? Why?

The coveralls are inexplicable. Dean in them especially -- I have to think it has something the do with the shape of Jensen's body. He's so MALE that ... okay, I just really need to stop.

And hee. See, I totally use "y'all" and "all y'all" interchangeably for the plural, even though I rarely use "y'all" in the singular. It's too much, I tells ya!

Dean in coveralls is. Yeah. It's the width of his shoulders, tapering perfectly down to the narrowness of his waist. It's a perfect "V". I think there was some sort of study about that actually, and that shape was found to be... particularly attractive to women. And yes, very very MALE. Which, dude. He's just sooo pretty, but at the same time, guh, MALE. I can't deal.

Oh, hee. I have a sort of sore spot about "y'all". There was just a multitude of movies and such when I was growing up that portrayed southerners using "y'all" indiscriminately, and it was always a sign of their stupidity, and, yeah. I've never personally heard it used in the singular, and jeez, I know some southern rednecks. But it is a great word. :)

um. how else would you and all be put in a contraction? do I even want to know?

HEE! I have heard a few places that because it's actually a contraction between "ya" and "all" it should be "ya'll." But I'm not sure that STILL wouldn't be "y'all," since I always thought "ya'll" was the same as "you'll," as in "you will" rather than "you all."

Perhaps I am giving this too much thought.

HI REG.

I've actually been told, or read things written by southerners, that it's "ya'll" be cause it's really a contraction of "ya" and "all". "y'all" would be removing two letters from "you", which is not quite normal. But anyway, yes, I have seen people just as firmly convinced it's the other way, heh. And I will continue to say ya'll - hunt me down if you will!

COVERALLS FTW! \o/

HAHAHA, I was just typing that same thing in an above comment. I definitely disagree -- I have NEVER seen it "properly" typed as "ya'll" in any publication of any sort, and further, think that the apostrophe-L-L suffix implies a contraction with "will" rather than "all," but! I have been wrong before.

COVERALLS, ANNE, BOY HOWDY.

There is a Lion King musical coffee table book by Julie Taymor (the director and costume designer of the show) which, IIRC, has sketches from the design process along with a ton of great photos of the show itself.

THE COVERALL YES. OMG. And there are trench coats too!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much. I will have to check that out.

AND TRENCHCOATS. Will there be more Mulder/Scully references???
