Cats Up, Cats Down
And then I was STANDIN’ right on THE FLOOR, next to BRETT BROWN!!! AH! And I was like WHY YOU WEARIN’ THOSE SHOES, COACH?!?! THEY’RE GONNA SCUFF THE COURT!!! They told me to wear rubber soles – and I was like oh shit I better listen lest M. Night steal my seat and turn it into a fucked up monster or some shit – so I wear rubber soles, got my soles, they are rubber, and I look next to me, and there’s Brett Brown, who speaks like a lobster fisherman who just got injected with Novocain, and HE AIN’T WEARING RUBBER SOLES! Like, coach, YOU’RE GONNA SCRATCH THE FLOOR!!!
At least, that’s what I imagine Kevin Hart’s internal monologue was as this picture was taken.
I’ll be honest– I was flipping back and forth between the spanking Villanova was giving to Marquette and the Embiid-less Sixers game last night. More Nova than Sixers early on, as it looked like the Sixers were going to stumble back down to Earth… and then they went off in the third quarter, erasing a 19-point deficit, while Villanova prepared to blow a 17-point lead and eventually lose.*
Meanwhile, at the Wells Fargo Center, the Sixers faithful crawled up inside DeAndre Jordan’s head and took a big ol’ dump:

The dump was a ghost the whole time on M. Night… night:

Alas. That was not our sweatshirt. It appears to be a cheap knockoff from Tee Spring Zazzle Pop or whatever and not the fine super-soft, stylish yet comfortable one that we’re selling (once again backordered 1-2 weeks):
You can get one here.
After the game, cats:

Even our favorite White House correspondent got in on the action:

Few things:
- I’m thoroughly shocked at the number of people who own cats. They are bad animals.
- I love the movement. It’s so goofy and sitcom-y– it’s perfect for our time.
- Yes, we’re making a t-shirt.
- May I suggest the alternative fact hashtag #pussyonapedestal?
- Those of us who don’t have cats are allowed to improvise. It’s in the rules.
*They’re fine. Kansas lost, too. Gonzaga, who has played the most laughable schedule imaginable, is undefeated and will likely hop up to number one while Nova and Kansas should drop to 2 and 3, respectively. They’ll be back to number one within a week.
