Super Bowl weekend! Hope you're spending today loading in piles and piles of snacks. If not, distract yourself from thoughts of snacks with the following:

\-- The New Yorker has[ a thematically appropriate and fascinating read on the NFL's concussion crisis](https://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/01/31/110131fa%5Ffact%5Fmcgrath?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (The New Yorker)

\-- You need to watch [this montage of the best pep talks in sports](https://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/02/pep%5Ftalks%5Fmontage.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). If you're me, you might cry. (Vulture)

\-- Speaking of snacks, [I need to learn how to make these homemade Cheezits before Sunday](https://www.goodfoodstories.com/2011/01/31/homemade-cheez-its/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Because here's the thing. I have a Cheezits OBSESSION. Like, I am not allowed to buy them. Or I will eat the entire box in one sitting. But homemade ones...healthy, right? RIGHT? (Good. Food. Stories.)

\-- This is brilliant. [A company in Great Britain has made COMMEMORATIVE ROYAL WEDDING CONDOMS. Whoever wrote the copy on the box deserves a raise, because it is hilarious.](https://www.styleite.com/media/royal-wedding-condoms/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Not as hilarious: apparently, they're not useful for preventing pregnancy or STDs which seems like a huge misstep in the condom-making process. (Styleite)

\-- Vanity Fair, by the way, has been doing an amazing job of [covering the folderol and bits of gossip leading up to the Royal Wedding so far.](https://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2011/02/royal-wedding-watch-middletons-parents-to-make-wedding-themed-gear.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (VF)

\-- [Here's your weekly dose of Jon Hamm](https://www.celebitchy.com/139431/jon%5Fhamm%5Ferotica%5Fim%5Fvery%5Floyal%5Five%5Fnever%5Fstrayed%5Fnever%5Fwanted%5Fto/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). ENJOY. (Celebitchy)

\-- I so need to read this Hilary Duff novel. [I just love that it's called ELIXIR. I hope it's about POISONS](https://laineygossip.com/Hilary%5FDuff%5FNicole%5FRichie%5FJoel%5FMadden%5Fin%5FParis%5Fat%5Fsame%5Ftime%5FFebruary%5F2011%5F03feb11.aspx?CatID=0&CelID=0&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Lainey)

\-- [This article -- about a man in Canada who, more or less, cracked a code to determine whether or not a scratch-off Lotto ticket will be a winner -- is seriously really fascinating](https://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/01/ff%5Flottery/all/1?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io): about criminals, the lotto, math, the randomness of the universe. It's just a really, really good read. (Wired)

\-- I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day, but -- weirdly -- I really like the thematic gifts that start popping up for it right about now. [For example, this poster is awesome](https://flavorwire.com/142184/valentines-day-gift-guide?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). However, H and I will be at Fashion Week on Valentine's Day, which means that SNOW WILL BE MY LOVER THIS YEAR. (Flavorwire)

\-- Speaking of LOVERS, this is awesome: [Vulture did a flowchart so you can find out which movie stalker is best suited to YOU](https://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/02/stalker%5Fflowchart.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I got Matt Damon, in *The Talented Mr Ripley*, which is AWESOME because that means I get to wear that amazing blue coat that Gywnnie had in that movie. And not so awesome because of how he's a serial killer. (Vulture)
