Shouldn't "Baylor" Be Plural?

Upcoming story or brand-new fetish porn video? You decide. And if you decide on the latter, be ready to define "Baylor" and "UConn" in your answer.

Food, Glorious Food

Two reminders before we get started here. This is your last chance to vote in the finals of the invention bracket. Your champion gets crowned tomorrow. Secondly, if you're watching the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night and need something to do during the 10 minutes between picks, you can tune in to The Couchwarmers NFL Draft Live-Blogging event. Guaranteed fun or your money back.

Also, if you're observant, happy holiday. The Couchwarmers don't condone that kind of activity, but I have to admit, seeing a group of Stop & Shop employees sitting in their car in the store parking lot, staring giddily at their watches at 4:17 this afternoon was pretty amusing. Now, on to the good stuff.

Last night's episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations looked at food in such a way to compare it with porn. They went all out too -- the "bow chicka bow wow" music, the graphic content warning, and even Ron Jeremy making double entendres while wearing a bathrobe. But at the heart of the episode was the argument that for many people, food is truly a sensational experience. G-rated porn, if you will. For some people it's cars, for some it's clothes or shoes, and for others like Bourdain, it's food.

Welcome back for another work week, loyal readers. We'd also like to extend a special welcome to all of you who are coming over from Deadspin. Stick with us and we'll fulfill all your wildest dreams, especially if you vote in the championship game of our invention bracket.

For those of you who are upset about having to start another week of work/school, here's something that's sure to put a smile on your face:

Thanks to Bradley, Patrick, Brian, and Aaron for sending us .mp3s of the Creed Marlins song. For your effort, all of you get shout-outs, although the ones that Patrick and Brian sent were the best quality, so they're the only ones who will receive the beer/cookie combo. For those of you who want the song, we're more than happy to share.

We're also very happy to announce that The Couchwarmers will be live-blogging the first round of the NFL Draft this Thursday night. Suggestions for draft-related drinking games would be highly appreciated. Just put them below in the comments. And now, on to the weekend recap:
