  1. In the fall of 2019 three friends and I journeyed to Kentucky and visited the site of the biggest Civil War battle no one ever heard of - the Battle of Perryville. While going up and down the hills in that region, we grew a mite peckish and a lot thirsty, both problems nicely cured in Harrodsburg, a popular stop on the Bourbon Trail where we conjured up The Beaumont Inn and Old Owl Tavern. I can highly recommend the Old Owl Tavern. If the Civil War odd stories interest anyone, read up on Perryville. It was a cluster fuck from the jump. Nothing went as anyone in gray planned or hoped.
  2. Is he related to the WR Shipley who singlehandedly kept you in the Rose Bowl game after Colt went down? That fucker was money. Texas PK was damn good that night. If Squints doesn’t get blind sided and fumble, Texas was one long Shipley catch and a FG away from sending the game to OT.
  3. I got yer brass right cheer. Now this grand old Russian pouf, as Monty Python’s Eric Idle once called him, wrote some fine tunes. What the Buck. as a perennial midfle and high school second chair french horn, I tip my hat to the Buckeye marching band. I loathe OSU football but I revere that band. Actually, most B1G marching bands are solid and bring it. Isn’t Indiana U like music degree Olympus?
  4. I had one of these for 14 or 15 years. I paid $19.99 for it in . . . 1999. It never let me down or bothered me beeping and dinging with spam scams during the day, usually 15 seconds after i get in the car to go hone. Only thing I ever changed was the dorky ring tone. Been using iPhones since 2013. I’d love to have one of these for vehicle safety. I’d toss this PoS iPhone if it weren’t for Surly.
  5. The Llama family afopted KOTH from the beginning. Later on when it started running in syndication or whatever and aired nightly at 10:30, we would always wstch it before turning in. I usually fell off to sleep before it ended, which helps reruns seem fresh. Maybe it’s my dementia kicking in. We have great reverence for Mike Judge and all who contributed to the once and present KOTH, to “Beaver and Buffcoat,” to Idiocracy and all other Judge whatnot and productions. I’m quite sure adults now aged 50-75 who were raised in the South knew individuals who resembled in many respects Hank, Mr. Thompson, LuAnn, Peggy, Bobby and the other cast members. Mr. Thompson: (gives his order) Butthead: . . . Uhhhhhhh Mr. Thompson: “Ah didn’t order ‘UHHH.”
  6. No Time For Sergeants ”Your father. . . LIVING?!!”
  7. Alien was like the Beatles at Shea. Before that, there was nothing. After then, there was everything. Except it was deadly and relentless and its blood was acid.
  8. Here’s what I want to see in Game 1 in Columbus. Jog on. Beat the ever loving crap out of OSU. Jog off. For my guys in Game 1 in Tallahassee. Just fucking win.
  9. No lying allowed. Your 1970 Plymouth Belvedere just had a flat on the left front tire. You jack it up but can’t get any of the lug nuts loose. What are you doing wrong? Did you know to loosen lug nuts on wheels on the left side of a 60s or 70s Plymouth, you rotate clockwise?
  10. Amen. I thought she commanded the screen in Year of Living Dangerously.
  11. I had never heard of Stephen King but enjoyed reading as an alternative to TV. ‘Twas about fifty years ago when my dear niece, only 12 or 13 at time, gave me this one for Christmas or a birthday. I enjoyed every word of every story. My niece is still cool and clever. If one has never experienced Kingian literature, it’s not a bad place to start.

    Getting old sucks

    I hear you. I hope he realizes he is conceding who inherits what, when they receive it, and who is in charge of the circus to state law. There are burdens the personal rep must carry and pay for, such as a surety bond, which your dad could exempt. Worse, anyone who can con him into appointing them Agent under a POA can do an end run around a legitimate transition of ownership. If cost is an issue, most states provide good lawyers through a legal aid or legal services nonprofit. If he prefers to ostrich all that and leave his house in a mess, you should at least get your shit together. This is like Cousin Eddie throwing poisonous snakes into the yard for his kids to “hunt” for and hoping for the best. Good luck, Surly Brother.

    Getting old sucks

    If he doesn’t have one currently, he should confer with an experienced elder law / estate planning attorney NEXT WEEK and discuss power of attorney, health care directive, will or trust and disposition of his remains. Not fun to contemplate but if not done, nothing good will happen. There is no “end of life good fairy.”
  14. It’s August and the kudzu, morning glories, thistles and commentator diarrhea is clogging up tv sports. Like someone posted, just run some decent games from the past, with radio synced for either team. We be starving for college football.
  15. Well, shit. Where were you and those two gorgeous avararettes when I needed you?
  16. Another thing I miss about unis - both teams wearing solid colors. Bama/Tenn in Legion Field was always colorful - crimson, orange, green turf, green steel girders and trusses, fall colors on Red Mountain in the distance. This game was a pisser, though. We were thoroughly whipped. Our #25, Dennis Homan, was a fine receiver but Tennessee had him covered all day. Their best player was from Montgomery - Richmond Flowers a track star with great hands. He went to Tennessee because his father, Alabama attorney general at the time, took incessant flak and bullshit criticism for taking the controversial position that human beings have civil rights!
  17. I saw Nebraska play vs Bama in 67. They came out wearing those bizarre cursive uni numbers and I just didn’t get it. Bama and Snake Stabler beat hell out of them that day. Undefeated but uncrowned. That sucked but we have been fortunate. I can’t complain. But those cursive uni numbers were jarring to my 15-year old eyes. I do rather like curves though. Know wha oy mayne?! Nudge nudge wink wink.
  18. You are right. We called repeatedly but all the tow truck companies’ drivers in town were out towing other assholes’ vehicles. The cops were no help cuz the whole vehicle was all the way onto our private property. They said if he was hanging out into a public street, they would’ve towed it to the impound lot. If only. I like to think being tagless on the byeays of Alabama, on game day no less when the troopers, deputies and local cops are all out and praying for excuses to make traffic stops, brought him and his companions some unforeseen misery.
  19. Who the fuck compiled this shitty chart? Based on what criteria? The twitter dude at the foot of the chart? I can guarantee LSU is most hostile year in and year out. Auburnites are superficially friendly to fans of teams not named Georgia or Bama, then they walk like Plains zombies back to their hives/nests. LSU is a fine place to attend a game if you hate the visiting team and enjoy being ripped before kickoff. I saw LSU upset Auburn when Terry Bowden was coach at AU. After the game, an Auburn asshole fan bitching up at LSU fans got beaned with an (empty) whiskey bottle from the 10th row or so. He yelled at a policeman and poonted out the perpetrator, to which ghe impassive cop did the windmill mantra, “Move along, move along.” Geaux Tigahs!
  20. The mirthless laughter of the damned. Oh, wait. That’s Auburn, where Hugh Freeze told his defense to “Go easy” on Jackson Arnold in summer practice to help him gain confidence for the season ahead. Please tell me Texas gets those fuckers in Austin this season. They cannot suffer enough.
  21. John Cleese has a tour gig coming up in September 35 miles from me. I’m 73 and he must be 84. Goddam! I’d better go while I can still see and hear and Cleese can still do the parrot 🦜 sketch and lion tamer bit, but how can he do those without Michael Palin?
  22. And I was counting on Baylor to embarrass Corch Freeze and the Auburn Plainsmen on Friday night in Game One at Waco. This does not bode well.
  23. Ditto roly polies Ditto Kelly Bundy
