TO SIR, WITH LOLZ.
Holly has very sad news for you. Be jacked and pumped, but only in the saddest of ways.
Server glitch? Price of fame? Low-level NCAA violation potential? Who knows, but one way or another Pete Carroll’s Facebook profile is no more. And while it brought us all incalculable joy to tread just a little closer to his radiance, I have to say—as a mortal being of woman born, having to look at his status updates every morning was forcing me to examine my life in ways I’m not sure I was ready for.

I’ll miss you, sir. But my self-worth is drinking to your departure.

You missed my personal favorites: “Pete Carroll is rocking out to some Foo Fighters.” and “Pete Carroll had a great time this weekend but is looking forward to work on Monday!”
Who is this leader of MEN?

I’m so relieved–I thought he unfriended me because of that incident at the grotto last week…

He’s gone from my life just as quickly as he appeared, like a tempest.
Farewell, sweet prince (of being stoked).

thanks Holly for giving me a new screen saver… which I will explain to my gf as the picture of the woman who invented the “spread eagle” offensive formation
she may not believe, but for a while I will get to fantasize about my new futbawl buddy and our secret “huddle talk”

Checking someone’s facebook status feels so creppy, but once you start updating your own with ‘Client No. 9′ references you don’t feel so wierd.

Were you able to uncover his secret source of energy? (Since he’s in L.A. I’m assuming it’s yayo, but Pete seems to hide the mouth twitchiness and sniffles many a cokehead sports.)

There’s reality, and then there’s Pete Carroll. Jealous of that asshole.

All ten times were a pleasure and not the least bit creppy.

How many people can I call up past midnight and ask them to screencap my status updates, and have them do it without a second thought? You’re a national treasure.

I’M NOT PASTY; I’M ALABASTER.
(Wait, were you talking about me?)

Yes, and my apologies for the pasty comment, maam. I meant lily white.

That’s more like it.

I thought the issue was “red hair” in combination with “drinks heavily” makes this one of the best days of the year.

Being translucently pale goes along with it, sadly.

So is a “Property of St. Patrick” picture out of the question for today?

Completely, and it’s not because I’m a bad sport. This is why.

At least being Property of Tebow grants you Certified Christian status.

#19 Damn, I hate it when one jerk spoils things for everyone. I hope at least it was someone who knew your mom in person. If somebody tracked her down and found her only because of the blogs that would be too stalkeriffic.
