  1. In October 2025, midweek pregame Surlies are nervous and grouchy. A couple of wins, and it’s Playoff Time! We love our Sark! Leave him be!
  2. I’ve been a fan of IU football since reading an SI article in 1967 about how then-coach John Pont gave his punter cart blanche to fake any punt he wanted to. I think that was the year they went to the Rose Bowl.
  3. Cig could always play stunt double for
  4. At the press conference when he took the head coaching job at Lousville, Howard Schnellenberger infamously prognosticated, “The University of Louisville is on a collision course with the National Championship. The only variable is time.” That is the operative variable as to when your work will be rewarded.
  5. He called our UGA game last year and he and his shitty crew called it UGA’s way for 98% of the night. But for some incredible circus catch&runs by Ryan Williams, we lose that one.
  6. We (Bama / Tenn) had a relatively decent crew last night. They did, however, continue the decades-long practice of disregarding Tennessee’s cheap shots after the whistle and piling onto ball carriers and receivers already down by contact / on the ground or out of bounds. Aguilera tried to ease by the marker on a third and long. Several Bama d men clocked him on the neck as he went down and he wasn’t the same after. I would not want to play them on a neutral field. #14 caught everything Aguilera threw near him. Pray you get this crew in Athens, not the one with “Gomer Pyle” Broussard or Bouchard, Boudreaux or whatever his Yat name is.
  7. If you came of age in the 1960s and followed the NBA you owe it to yourself to see Bill Russell: Legend. Don’t expect high def but the content is highest quality. That man was a great human being and one helluva leader and defender of the basket.
  8. Anything promoting Prevagen is a fucking lie. My wife’s aunt was an extraordinary woman, loved life and kept fit well into her eighties by being in constant motion and helping others. When she was in her sixties, hee husband and provider died of postoperative staph infection following bypass surgery. She literally had nothing to live on but SS and moved into smaller and smaller govt subsidized housing as time went by. She began to have memory issues and after watching a single Prevagen ad, made the mistake of taking some. That poor lady began to hallucinate, imagining “creatures” were peeking at her and crawling out of the TV into her den. One night, she fell and broke her hip trying to escape the creatures. It was all downhill from that point. She flushed the Prevagen but saw hallucinations for the remainder of her troubled life. Prevagen = Death. Fuck those assholes.
  9. If you want some depth and variety, check out SCTV’s library of archival episodes. His character Johnny LaRue was truly and grandly needy and yearning for fame. Dr. Tongue, Yosh Schmenge, Dr Wainwright, the Unctuous William B, the Weedhopping Pippi Longsocks, Orson Welles, Billy Sol Hurok, a wonderful cast of distinct characters! I’m forgetting a hundred.
  10. I never intended to practice law for an occupation but in 1981 I was faced with a decision: go to law school or dig ditches for a living. I said to my dear bride, Mrs. Llama, “But there’s a lawyer on every street corner and we’ve never known a good one.” She said, “Law school is three years. Med school is six years, and a lot longer before you’re earning any significant money. Tell me, big guy, if you don’t ho to law school, where will we be three years from now?” I went. I discovered that if I pronounced my clients’ names correctly, showed up on time for appointments, and was honest, I would never hurt for clients I don’t think of myself as a lawyer but I do practice law as an occupation. I’ve never scammed anyone but I have bern scammed by vendors of equipment, supplies, and phone/internet/email services.
  11. Ms Llama and I were introduced to John by SCTV, which followed an odd NBC Friday night show of some kind. We watched SCTV once and were hooked. My personal favorites were the “Fireside Chats with Mayor Tommy Shanks.” Dotard should give those a shot, so to speak.
  12. Paul Theroux, Paddling the Happy Isles of Oceania
  13. A revocable trust works better than survivorship accounts and avoids the baggage, expense and delay of probating a will and administering a decedent’s estate, all without risking assets being diverted to “well meaning” caregivers and unduly influential relatives. It helps if the trust creator is not a procrastinator. Here are some basic questions to get them started: 1. Who gets what? 2. When do they get it? 3. Who’s in charge?
  14. They needed more “win outs” and fewer “white outs.” Working here on the lower Alabama Gulf Coast for the past forty years I have met and worked for and with a number of Penn State fans. They were all good people and legit football fans. But that was all before the Sandusky shower show scandal and Joe Knew revelations. I hope for their sake they turn the page in a good way.
