  1. Fox Sports recently ran a short segment trailing a camera crew around Pullman for Mike's daily walk. It was the week before Halloween. Mike sauntered along a sidewalk faced by Craftsman bungalows, absolutely no one around, steaming large coffee in hand, gazing at brilliant blue skies and autumn leaves, when he just. Stopped. And wheeled ninety degrees to gaze in rapt wonder at a front yard full of ghosts, bizarre jackolanterns and cornstalk monsters. He just stood rooted there without moving for a good fifteen or twenty seconds, taking it all in as if memorizing the scene. As he said in the live mascots video clip, he's "curious." Bravo, Pirate. I hope that fucking Auburn eagle flies the hell out of the stadium this week, right after he squirts about two quarts of eagle shit on the Aubies and snatches off a wig hat or two. Leach to Auburn - free the eagles!
  2. Bastardi! Beat me to it. Read this whole thread and all the Tom Cruise debate just to be sure no one else had mentioned my candidate for worst casting, spoken word, Keanu as Jonathan Harker, everyone's favorite sacrificial lamb whose innocent journey sets up the entire plot, is cast as a Victorian surfer law clerk. His casting spoilt this movie but I still watch it every time it catches my eye. Oldman, even with the odd hair and getups, gives me the heebie jeebies every time he opens his mouth, whether to utter lines like "Leesten to the cheeld-d-ren of the naeiight; whot bewwdifole mewzzick dhey mayke," or to lick Jonathan Dude's drops of blood off the edge of that straight razor.
  3. Terrapins Madness - not unlike the melee at the Ayatollah Khomeini funeral when a massive, hysterical throng was crowd surfing his (loaded) casket trying to put it on a helicopter for some reason, and the lid popped open and his arm flopped out as if he were waving. Then the shit really started.
  4. Vintage presser response from a contemplative Leach addressing the question, "What was the best party you ever attended?" (video won't imbed, but it's in the link.) I for one would love to see the Pirate in the SEC, even at Auburn. https://articles.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2017/09/why_was_mike_leach_discussing.amp
  5. Not a Gundy fan here but bravo the statement. Who was the walking scrotum with a media pass who asked Gundy the question that prompted the rant? Citing "social media" as something to which a head coach should pay attention is nonsense. I mean, do you think leaders of big time organizations have time to bother with Twit . . . hold on. The president is coming up with a new derogatory adjective to describe the media. Gotta go.
  6. This game causes me to have visions of the OSU paddle brigade having a friendly "disciplinary encounter" with the Horns' chaps girls, creating a major distraction during which the Pokes squander the home field advantage. Bet at least a ha'p'ney on Texas and under.
  7. There, now I see it! Horns and Tide again in California for the natty. Sounds good to me! Then we can moan for the next ten years, "If Tua hadn't been injured . . ." Ahh, I'm just fuckin' witcha. I'd like to see that matchup anyway if we can both get to the playoff. I get to sing along with your fans, "I-I-I've been working on the rai-i-i-lroad allll the live long day . . . ." And I love that "Dinah, won't you blow" part.
  8. Jerry Tagge aummmm, Rich Glover aummmmmm, Johnny Rodgers aummmmmm. Repeat mantra until next season. This too shall pass. Speaking of passes, don't first year corches get a pass? Well, then, give the guy a fuckin pass awready.
  9. I would contribute to the buyout if the backroom gang at Auburn would bring the Pirate to the Plains, and I'm a Bama man. Talk about your good theater - Saban v. Leach for at least a few years.
  10. The toppermost of the poppermost. My first concert, 8/18/65, Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. Upper deck $4.50, all below $5.50. Bus charter from Alabama $5.00 more. Life changing. Good on yer, Johnny. Time wounds all heels (looking at YOU, Tricky Dick, John Mitchell and J. Evelyn Hoofer.
  11. This is like a Bizarroworld version of an episode of Fargo the season Ewan Macgregor played brothers. Such an innocent transaction, such a horrific result. Never trust a rat bastid.
  12. Curing hiccups in ten seconds with one teaspoon of creamy peanut butter. Masticate slowly and swallow. Guaranteed.
  13. I'm as Bama as it gets but I can't see this without hearing "Chariots of Fire" and expecting these guys to go slow-moing down the field like Clark and Rusty Griswold.
  14. Please napalm the Sprint ads with the quasi storm trooper bot and the twerpy spokesguy former Verizon turncoat. An absolute waste of the energy expended to produce and transmit this dreck.
  15. Saw the actual landing and Armstong's first step on a small black and white TV in a crowded junior college cafeteria in Saint-Malo, France in the middle of the fucking night July 21, 1969 local time. In the room were 50 or 60 French, German and American kids who had just graduated high school and were studying each other's languages and other attributes. No one griped about Vietnam, Nixon or cops bashing heads at the Chicago convention. Everyone, EVERYONE cheered and clapped when a human being set foot, sur la lune. There's no flag controversy; fuck politics. We thought then that we would all be visiting the moon routinely by now. What happened? Not feasible.
  16. "Louisville football is on a collision course with the national championship. The only variable is time." -- Howard Schnellenberger, 1985
  17. . . . and the college football championship in January - Horns v Bama redux? It could happen!
  18. Campground desk clerk Brian Doyle-Murray, blowing watermelon seeds into his hand, asking for the Griswolds' address: "We like to send out a mailer." The original story, as it appeared in National Lampoon, is well worth the read. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/read-john-hughes-original-national-811591
  19. JF spent too much time cheerleading with his back to the field. Urbs had a nice surrender cobra / anxiety vogue pose in the second quarter. "Watching [B1G] football is like watching two mules fighting over a turnip." - Lewis Grizzard
  20. Dining out. Jamie's Restaurant, a superior burger joint on South Main across from the Shamrock Hilton in Houston in the late 60s early 70s, used a clever and efficient cure for hovering waitstaff interrupting you and your guests every three minutes, asking "How's everybody doing?" to accelerate tips and the burning and turning of your table. On each table sat a miniature metal flagpole with a tiny raise-and-lowerable Texas state flag on a little cord. When you needed a waiter, you raised your little Lone Star flag. When the waiter brought your whatever, he lowered the little flag, and otherwise stayed the fuck away! Eureka!
  21. Photoshop 401 rush assignment: Der Trumpher as young Brett K on top of a struggling Lady Liberty, grinding away, with his free hand over her mouth, while a smirking V Putin looks on. Bastages
  22. I sent my friend a Steven Wright dvd but he didn't get it.
  23. I love early season speculation and debate and it would be even juicier if only . . . rankings came out AFTER the first Saturday in October. Football fans are going to watch USC v Texas or LSU v Miami whether bullshit ranking numbers appear ahead of the team names. Ranking teams in August and September is only decoration for ad campaigns. Cue college football theme music, and . . . roll intro! "Tune into Jagoff TV this Saturday at 9:00 (am) ET as the Bud Lite #7 Sipsey Valley Normal School Lions take on Husqvarna #11 Bobwire Stretcher Tech Flem Smackers, brought to you by Ronco International, the makers of Log."
  24. Nailed it, TexasTakeover: "#14 MSU loses 28-7 to KENTUCKY..." All hype is balderdash and smegma.
  25. Can't he see live action by looking toward the field? Mirabile dictu! Gadzooks! Eureka! And Zeiss makes excellent binocs. Bravo turning one's eyes to the actual field.
