  1. Agree My Aunt was a flight attendant for Braniff in the years that airline was active. She and flew all over the planet in those wildly neon colored 727s. On one layover in the UK she met a Scotsman who was on the British dole, living in a caretaker’s cottage on an estate in the Glasgow area. She was aleays rather impulsive and quite a looker to boot, but a sweetheart and clever about life. She and I maintained correspondence over the years. In one letter I asked if she had seen Braveheart. She saw it on opening night in Glasgow. The audience got so fired up there was a semi riot. After the show, the Glaswegians took it to the streets and overturned some vehicles and set them on fire. I enjoyed the film because it was on location, raw and wild, and I learned something about me Scots ancestors and got to see Sophie Marceau. Mmmmmmm. Patrick McGoohan as Edward the Shitass was damned good too I thought, such as when he defenestrated that weak excuse for a son. Wallace’s crew were fun to watch.
  2. Bless you, my son and I completely agree with your statement but I saw Bama play in Tuscaloosa before a half empty stadium crowd (17,000) in 1957 under coach Ears Whitworth. We’ve had some pretty good coaches since then. I’ll be watching the Crimson Tide, win or lose, until Chiron ferries me across the Styx.

  4. Here’s the rest -it was 1990 and Stallings. The accident was July 14 and the game was early September. Score was USM 30 - BAMA 27
  5. Brett Favre may be one of the all-time boneheads but . . . I saw him singlehandedly put Southern Miss on his shoulders and beat Alabama in Birmingham in a game he was not even supposed to play in due to injuries and serious surgery. The dumbass was in a bad car accident in June or July and had to have a good bit of his small intestine removed. Another dumbass, Curley Hallman, was corching USM at the time. By the time game day arrived, Favre was taking snaps and “might play.” Shit, the tough little fucker started! Mrs. Llama and I just knew we were going to see a man killed and guts on the field the first time he took a hit but he got hit hard several times and survived, even played well. By the time he was driving them for the winning score late in the 4th quarter we were calling for his head. He was a gamer. I’m so old and fog-brained now I can’t recall the score or whether Bama was corched by Bill Curry or Gene Stallings in that game. I just remember loding to Favre. I think that was the year Stallings got off to an 0-4 start. That loss to Southern Miss was the opening game of the year. The Favre doc was pretty good. I think his life coach must have been Leon Spinks.
  6. Bartles, yeah that was pretty much a no-one-walks-away crash, as depicted off-camera, anyway.
  7. Just watched Las Palmas, a nicely done 4-episode Norwegian volcano/tsunami series filmed in the Canary Islands. Overall, plausible and well done. Geothermal physics and blonde, nubile Norwegian ladies are featured. You can click over to English or listen to de Norge talk. I will never journey to that ‘ell ‘ole, nossir. A good diversion from dodging the crap Netflix thinks I want to watch.
  8. (Munching frozen grapes, smacking lips) “Every tiiiime I come in the kitchen you in front of the frigerata, eatin up AALLL the FOOD! I want some pig feet! I’d like to have some hog maw!” He delivered some of the best lines in a film loaded with them. He was shocked Craig was about to dump Capn Crunch in the trash. “WHAT you doin with that surrell!? You better EAT that surrell! in the end he inspired Craig to stand up to Deebo and defeat him, which tied up the plot lines rather nicey, we always thought. Friday - easily in the Llama family’s top 5 all time most loved.
  9. Trust & Estate atty here. I had to send a demand letter to the moneychangers at USAA before they would release the funds they were holding in multiple accounts of one of their deceased customers. I opened an estate for the decedent and represented the duly court appointed personal representative. My client was trying to do as much as possible to save money on attorney’s fees. They were delaying and stalling him at every turn, claimed they could not release the funds (7 figures) unless he converted them into a special “USAA estate account.” They sent him a raft of forms to fill out and he went back. Nd forth with ever changing USAA account reps for eight or nine weeks without them sending him a nickel. They msigically were cooperative after I reminded them how the law works. Wired the money to my client’s estate bank account within 24 hours. Motherfuckers.
  10. “Thuh motive, which is munneh, and thuh bodeh, which is dead!” (Maybe paraphrasing, but Rod nailed that line.)
  11. The Long Goodbye (1968) highly recommended Like a date on a perfect Spring night with a good-looking girl where everything goes better than expected. Robert Altman directed, just right all around with Elliot Gould as PI Philip Marlowe and Sterling Hayden, MLB Jim Bouton, the lovely lithe, bronzed and blonde Nina Van Pallandt (still alive!), a cast of good fits and an orange tabby cat 🐈 who stole the show. Music works, too.
  12. Sherman was right. War is ALL hell. Fuhgeddaboutit.
  13. KY Horn, et al.: you may not inherit anything in the traditional sense but at least your father’s creditors can’t reach through his estate to touch any of what is now yours. If his probate estate is nil, that’s it. You have the intangible lifetime of memories. Fare thee well, brother.
  14. Who is fhis? I have to know.
  15. Comparisons are odious
  16. And I’ll wager you say “pe-CONs” and not “pe-CANs” when pronouncing the word. And I say good on you, sir, for picking up all those nuts for all those years. There is nothing better in this life than a good piece of pecan pie other than an encounter with the good, tight, warm, slick pussy of a good-looking horny young lady. But I digress.
  17. If the foo shits, wear it.
  18. Musky (the muskrat) was a supporting sidekick bit player on the Deputy Dawg cartoon show. There is symmetry there, I suppose, given today’s “events.”
  19. Guess when Dotard and Lil Musky are done this place will be called the United States of Whatthefuck.
  20. Given: Adversity in the Rose Bowl, Colt’s shoulder is injured and he can’t play. Horns trailing by 11, need a boost. Squints is in, the first half is winding down, scant seconds remain. Just let the half run out, get to locker room and regroup, or . . . OR . . . Wild idea: call a shovel pass, maybe rip off a big gain and get some points. What could go wrong?
  21. Frech wave. Details. Mere petty annoyances. This challenge presents Texas hoops with a superb opportunity to compete and succeed!
  22. Hey! Say that like you’re proud! Who the fuck are you talking to? Wait. I was thinking schizophrenic. Never mind.
  23. I dunno. True, it smells Dotardish but pure dee Dotardese is peppered with more redundant exclamation points and randomly scattered words in ALL CAPS!!!!
