Surely you’ve heard about the Airbus 380 by now.

This video shows the piecing together of this jumbo jet. It’s pretty darn big.

Only something as important as global warming could add a new section to landonhowell.com.

We’re all gonna die… except for the Southerners.

OJ Mayo ends his high school career on this dunk (with post-dunk actions that results in a technical foul).

Eh… let’s give this a shot.

Post links of interest in the comment space below. Think of this as your chance at posting your random link directly.

Pettus posted this in the comments section the other day, but I thought it deserved some more play on the blog.

In the ongoing saga exploring all the reasons we hate Duke… this little video easily makes the Top 5.

We’d rather have State in the Final Four than see Duke win a pick-up game.

I think this is recent. My gosh, it’s hilarious.

So, last night was Jennifer’s first night in Seattle. She’s a huge Duke fan… loser. We headed straight to dinner from the airport and started eating sushi as the game was wrapping-up, so I was giving score updates via my cellphone.

Then I broke the news… Duke was dead. This is the video capturing the moment after I broke the news.

Duke sucks.

My new house roomie showed me this the other day. Classic.

I get visitor number 2 today as Jennifer Wyckoff comes to town on her Spring Break from OU.

Miss MC 2005 is taking time off from her Master’s in Communication program to visit yours truly. It’s been a busy week… and it’s sure to be a busy weekend as Miss Wyckoff will certainly seek to enjoy all-things-Pacific-Northwest.

In the longest post title ever to appear on this blog, I – Landon Howell – have predicted that this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Champion will be (drum roll please… or, better yet bark like a dog… Bully loves it when we do that) the Mississippi State Bulldogs!!!

You may be thinking, “What!?!? The Bulldogs aren’t even in the championship?” It doesn’t matter. Around these parts we celebrate State no matter what “official bracket” says. They’re winners, never quitters, and they always find a way to remind you of race.

So we say GO STATE! Because you only wish you could have gone to school in the middle of nowhere.

PS – Why does your mascot wear the same chest apparatus as this guy?

PPS – Yes, we know this is a baseball logo… we rock at everything.

PPPS – (I love my State friends. You know I kid.)

There is a guy like this in every backyard football game, church softball league, and pick up basketball game.

From all of us… to all of you with a “tough guy” complex: loser.

Now go stare at your “All Star” trophies from 1989… O’Doyle.

Question:

What did you eat for lunch?

Question:

What famous people have you ever seen/met?

So I was downtown at the market this afternoon. Upon driving off in my car I came to the intersection of the road which runs along the waterfront. I noticed two women, one of the pushing a stroller. The car to my left and I stopped to let them cross the intersection.

I then noticed that one of the women looked awfully familiar. When the light turned green I got a better look as I pulled forward. Is that? It can’t be. That’s when I glanced at the two guys in the car beside me. “It’s f**ing Jennifer Garner!” One of them mouthed as he pointed.

I pulled forwad to get a better look. It was then that there was no doubt in my mind. “It is Jennifer Garner!” I yelled aloud (though I was the only one in my car).

The light turned green and I had to get out of the way… I mean, it’s a green light, there are cars behind me. So I pull out, but quickly turned around at the next intersection. I get stuck behind 3 slow old elderly folks who took 10 minutes to park in a spot the size of the Grand Canyon, and by the time I’d returned to the location, my sweet Jennifer was nowhere to be found.

I’m assuming that the woman with her was Jennifer’s nanny. No, Ben Affleck was with them. However, this will be the story I repeat for the next week at work, church, and to strangers in Starbucks.

Mississippi College fell in the Sweet Sixteen for the 3rd consecutive year. The Choctaws lost (bad) to the defending National Champs.

Oh well… it was a great season. We finished 27-3, and I’d rather lose big to the National Champs than win small due to a lane violation.

But hey… that’s just me. Go Chocs!
