Thanks for the heads up.
God, I'm first and I don't know what to say...
Weis is fat.
It's all I've got.
another boring post by bryan.
Where's Gittelson on that list. Tell me he owns a pizza parlor...please let that be the truth.
you guys are so boring, no wonder why jackers roll abound.
Urban Meyer and Bedford coached together at Colorado State.
Gittelson is a cook at the Pizza Hut in Saline.
You can all tongue jack my shitbox.
Typically, people who spend copious amounts of time on blog comments are wastes of space (myself included). However, Musket, at least these people actually, um, discuss things.
I don't want to see what your life is like if this is the best use of your time.
i'm pretty sure someone handle jacked musket rebellion as a front for their trolling operation. i may be wrong, but i've known him IRL for 10+ years, and i've never once heard him say "shit box"
@ Beauford
Beauford? Are you serious? Wow your mother really hates you. Okay, open discussion. Why is Beaufors such a douchebag?
Uh, not so much.

Actually, whenever I type "douche bag" I type it as two words. The subtleties make it completely obvious that it isn't me.
And although "shitbox" is kind of funny, I wouldn't ever use that terminology.
I'm glad somebody here knows I'd never say anything that stupid.
Musket -
How does "skin chimney" strike you ?
Multiple comments catching up from various topics in the previous thread:
1. Micheal Keaton tear jerker movie: "My Life."
2. As the father of 3 boys (8,5,1) I have only seen animated movies since 1999. Incredibles and Nemo were the best.
3. Start placing golf clubs and bats in your kids hands at 2 years old. Always throw live pitches...never train them on a tee.
4. Your first child will evolve from Thomas the Train, to Pirates, to Star Wars to sports. The second will go right to Star Wars, and the 3rd right to sports.
5. When coaching your kids about baseball, start them out with the duty assignments of the SS and 2B. Once they understand those 2 positions, everything else falls into place.
6. Finally, Never, Never dress up as Darth Vader and suprise 16 5-yr olds weilding plastic light sabers at your sons b-day party. They will beat you senseless. True Story.
I'm pretty anti that one too. This is on first glance though. I'd have to mull it over for a while before I'd use it. Everyone should use the phrase "grumblesnatch" though.

Also, I'm pretty sure part of the reason Szabo ended up at Colgate is that his son(s?) play there.
Afro,
I have a buddy in St. Thomas with 27,000 songs which is jut ridiculous. I'm taking my Ipod down on my next visit and he's loading it for free. Can't wait, though I'm wondering why I would ever need even half of that.
@Rainking:
I'm on record as saying that Loeff would be our HC someday. then of course he got picked up by the Lions, so all bets are off.

Szabo is a pretty cool dude. I had dinner with him at a Bo function a couple of years ago. Those guys (coaches) live rough lives.
I'm wondering if Brian gives up any ad revenue if he gets rid of Haloscan. I'm thinking he does. Anyone know any registered comment systems that have advertising enabled?
I have 14,000+ songs. Most ripped from my own CD collection, some downloaded from friends.
I really need to declutter though, because I only really like about 30-40% of my entire collection.

i have about 100000000 bazillion songs stored in my brain.
i can break one out on demand..
gsimmons
europe: the final countdown
....and here comes the Night Ranger from GSimm....
fuck u guys
im comin outta da boooth
one year at my previous school, i made out the pre-game stretching cd.... that was some killer stuff man...
everything from bring the noise anthrax-poublic enemy... to ratt, to megadeth, to slayer, to pantera... my defense was ready once we got into the lockerroom...
of course, the blue hairs didnt enjoy it that much, and the pa guy eventually gave in and went back to player golden oldies while we were stretching and going through our pregame stuff... the kids were pissed.
Tressel to Cal???

Avian flu has much more comedic value than Bird Flu.
I want to hear gsimms sing "Five Minutes Alone." I think I would crap my pants and run away after the first chorus.
"We built this city" in 5, 4, 3, 2, ....
Avian flu? You can get the flu from drinking french bottled water?
lol @ Tressel to Cal link.
mrg, great f'n tune.. when my brother got a drum set for his little girl, that was one of the first songs i blared out for him!!!
scalz,
who counts the money, undernieth the bar?......
I have a confession related to the Internets. No, I don't handle-jack, but I LOOOOOVE the word "fucktard". Picked it up here, now it's in the regular rotation.
Gsimmons -
you're only hurting yourself here.
Pantera songs that melt your face in order of meltiness:
1. I'm broken
2. 5 miutes alone
3. Walk
lets see if i can recreate the song list....
eye of the tiger intro (we were the tigers)
1. bring the noise-anthrax
2. round and round-ratt
3. harvester of sorrow-metallica
4. sweating bullets-megadeth
5. walk-pantera
6. enter sandman-metallica
7. angel of death-slayer
8. my name is mud-primus
9. into the fire-dokken
10. 5 minutes alone- pantera
11. welcome to the jungle- gNr
scal,
lol, yeah my reputation is the least of my concern... gotta be true to myself!
gsimmons
rockin' with Dokken. Somehow, I already knew this.
lol... i thought i hid it well...
i of course did all the pregame hoopla and stetching and yelling and stuff, so i coordinated it along with the music, it was my oprah.... and when WALK hit, beleive me, we were getting after it...
I switch out Sweating Bullets for Peace Sells, and if you're going to play Primus AND shock the blue hairs, you might as well go with Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.
You forgot "Far From Over" by Frank Stallone. Nothing gets the juices flowing like an extended synth solo.
Lay it Down > Round and Round
Ballroom Blitz> Lay it down

Harvester of Sorrow is the most underrated Metallica song ever. Listen to it just once and you'll wish Json Grilli were in front of you so you could kick his ass.
A Tout Le Monde > Sweating Bullets
(not really)
Actually for testosterone rock, check out Rollins band. I suggest:
Starve
Get some, go again
Suicidal Tendencies = A decade before their time.
glenn danzig - in all forms - is better than anything mentioned thus far.
i've got something to say
i killed a baby today
scalz is right about rollins band though.
Misfits were incredible, without a doubt. Danzig was a product of Rick Ruben though. Anything after Lucifige was a bit out there.
Freshman year. Listened to Nazareth "Hair of the Dog" before every game. Now you're messin' with a sonofabitch. Got our ass kicked every time. Now, I associate that song with defeat. True story.
The Best of Bread totally rocks!!!!
Ok.
I have been shamed. I actually thought that 1,800 was ALOT.
/slinks away
Video for Cherry Pie by Warrant > Video for Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crue
I agree with the suicidal, as well. They are great. Not so sure about infectious grooves, though.
Video for Rock the Cradle of Love > Video for Cherry Pie
Video for Freedom(George Michael) > Rock the cradle of love.
all songs are great songs mentioned...
lay it down one of my fav ratt songs....
can not got wrong with any metallica songs from black album backwards...
pantera is the hardest band ever though, and this comming form someone who has seen them all...
i think biohazard and speultura might have been on that song list, but i cant remeber where...
well, scalz, danzig didn't get together with rubin until after the misfits were dissolved. so, between like 1988 and lucifuge, his heavy metal stuff was aided greatly by rubin. so its hard to syah e was a creation of rubin. however, songs like mother, etc, could of very well been a "rubin creation."
Truthfully, the older I get, The more I appreciate AC/DC.
If you want blood. Shoot to thrill. Thunderstuck. Whole lot of Rosie.
Awesome.
Glenn Danzig got his ass kicked by one of the dudes from Def Leppard, so, theres that.
i hate metallica.
i listened to and justice for all album so much my tape player would allow it to be ejected...
I meant Danzig as Danzig. I know that the Misfits were different, even though my post was worded poorly.
The early Misfits (Earth AD, Who killed Marilyn, etc) were mostly self produced.
Samhain was really good, too. Diablos 88 is one of my favorite songs.
all the memebers of metallica died in a horrible accident in 1992, there was a big cover up, but i know the truth...
Do you also hate America? Kill 'Em All, Master of Puppets, Ride The Lightning, ...And Justice For All are all awesome.
gargae days revisted....
You guys are old
scalz - right on.
mrg - no. i know they pioneered bay area thrash or whatever, but thats just not my scene. i'm more of a black flag, adolescentssaccharine trust type of guy.
thanks dex i get reminded of that everyday working with 16 17 ans 18 year olds.... but at 34, i can still take any one of them
Anything up to "And justice ..." is excellent. I can't think of one song in that list I dislike.
bgh,
i dont know a lot of the music you listen too...
BGH -
If you say that FEAR is one of the top 10 bands of all time, I'll go gay with you.
scalz1:
The David Fincher directed video for Freedom '90 including a scantily clad Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington may be the most EPIC video WIN ever.
Fair enough. Although Black Flag isn't my favorite thing in the world.
gsimmons, i like to pull out little known bands in effort to confuse people and reinforce the fact that i'm edgy and cool.
haha. no. my tastes in music just tend to be less commercial than many other people on this board. which is cool, i'm not one of those people that judges others based on their merits of their musical tastes.
Black Flag is and should be one of the most influental bands ever.
scalz - FEAR was awesome. not in my top ten but they did, in fact, rule.
scalz although at the time i thougth the black album was a bit of a sell out soem of those comercially big songs were classic metallica sound, like sad but true, and dont tread on me.... it wasnt their best album, but i thought it was still pretty good...
gsimm85:
I dunno about Pantera being so hard. They had a hair metal phase pre-Cowboys from Hell, and Dave Mustaine has taken shots at their style.
AC/DC is also fantastic. Australia's 2nd best export after Wicked Weasel swimwear:

Henry Rollins would eat Glenn Danzig alive and then shit him out as a bound book of haiku.
tv paaaaaarty tonight
tv paaaaaarty tonight.
if you havent seen henry rollins do his spoken word, i would highly recommend you try to change that fact.
The albums Practice What You Preach & Souls of Black by Testament = the apex of thrash metal awesomeness
BGH:
I tried to catch a Rollins spoken word show earlier this year but I was just too damn sick to go. ARRRGHGH
I saw the "Rise Above: A tribute for the West Memphis 3" tour with Rollins and Keith both singing their own Black Flag songs a few years back. Best.Show.Ever.
Rollins is a fucking homicidal, suicidal, genocidal maniac. I'm very comfortable with my man crush on him.
bgh,
yeah i understand...
my favorite band of all time is night ranger, and sister christian was my LEAST favorite of the bunch....
Petr Klima was my fav hockey player of all time...
I Drive a WS6....
What i think is cool, is really all that matters to me... if other peopel think its cool, well great, if they dont..well then dont hang out with me...
This thread has a distinct lack of top-end Slayer
FUCKIN' SLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah i love me some testament... souls of black...
And, BGH, TV party is one of my least favorite songs.
Rise Above
Wasted
Slip it in
Six Pack
Drinkin and drivin
I recognize Black Flag as a great band, but they weren't melodic enough to be pleasing to me. Maybe that's why I'm queerer than Ninja.
blue,
notice the slayer on the play list...

Flotsom and Jetsom were also quite good.
bluwolverine: rollins stands in the middle of a stage for three hours and just talks. its amazing. he didnt even stop to take a drink of water when i saw him. i have some mp3's of his sets, if you'd like i can upload them to my blog.
I think I'm going soft in my old age...
Back in the day, I wouldn't listen to anything that wasn't heavy. "The Cure? Fuck that gay shit!"
Now 90% of my downloads are "indie" i.e. Arcade Fire, Tokyo Police Club, etc. (but I still have all the old stuff).
bgh,
sounds like my apush class.... or so my kids say
If you ever need to drive somewhere very fast, put in "Diabolus en musica". You will arrive in record time.

Nice job with the donations, guys. Red Cross will no doubt be responsible and put all that money to good use. Since they have a great track record for that sort of thing.
They'll probably, like, update their website or something. Or maybe give the director a spot bonus.
But at least you can sleep well, knowing the money's in good hands.
gsimm:
Whoops, missed Angel of Death. I'm leaving for vacation soon, that's my excuse.
Afro:
You can't listen to heavy stuff all the time. It just leads to rage issues.
I'd also like to point out that stuff with a beat is way, way better for certain...uh...."noctural activities".
Haha.

That's what Janes addiction: Nothing's Shocking is for.

scalz - yeah, i just have some bootleg recordings of a couple "sets"
I like Enya. Yep, I admit it.
Youtube the group "Metisse" sometime. Great stuff.
i remeber after metallica went weird. I saw pantera and sepultura philip anselmo (back when he wasnt lost on heroine) said that metallica is dead, and pantera now rules the world of heavy metal, corny i know, but it was cool...
I think I just found my fantasy football team's name this year (i had never seen this before)

do any of you old guys (30'ish) remember a group out of detroit called motherload?
gsimmons, i ask this question out of sheer ignorance, but back i nthe day, when you and your buddies where headed to a concerty, did your group fo friends ever have an 80's version of "that scene" guy - meaning, did you or your friends ever roll to a show wearing like lycra saddle pants with a ripped jean jacket and bandanna?
BGH @ 3:09
Unless you've changed recently - LIES
No, but I do remember:
Accept
Warlock
Saxxon
King Diamond
And Keel, can't forget the Keel
next time i make a pre game cd, ill have to get with you guys...
of course im not sure i want my guys thinking about trying to fix the worlds problems, and about politics, and raging against popular culture, and crying and crap before the game...
i just want them to want to get their juices flowing... and i think i got that covered...
I think Accept has gotten more run on this blog in the last three days than they have in the past 15 years.
BGH,
I know exactly what you're talking about. I've seen "that guy." I know "that guy." I still make fun of "that guy" to this day.

High five, BGH
I just never got it.
Rollins' spoken word is beyond phenomenal. Anyone who doesn't have a man crush on that guy is a pussy on par with Justen boren.
@BGH: I actually saw him live at Hall Auditorium in Oxford.
speaking of rollins, check this out -

bgh,
absolutley, i know a lot of guys, who had to get into character before we went out.... it was pretty funny.. I found that i wasnt very good at that, becuase my character changerd so much, i couldnt pretend to be a metal head, then pretend to be a football player the next day at school, then pretend to be a christian, i could only be me... it was too hard to lie, becasue i wasnt smart enough to remember who i was suppose to be to that particual person (cue cheezy music now)
ninja - that would be awesome. only thin i ever saw at hall was some old bag (i think she used to be the PM or president or ireland) talk. i think i fell asleep.
Rollins band is actually better than spoken word(that genre tag bothers the shit out of me). Henry rollins will make you attack 50 foot yeti made out of fire and cholera with your bare hands.
That was right when he first started doing his spoken word *cough* '97 *cough*. Got dragged to it by a friend of mine, and been dragging anyone i can to see him ever since.
Mary Robinson go bragh.
MRG - thats the one. I like current events, etc, but she was really boring.
@Scalz:
Yeah, it's really just him up there ranting about stuff, telling stories, etc. When I hear "spoken word" I think slam poetry and shit. Nowhere near the same.
BGH - Wow, you're growing up. I should probably follow suit. Are you coming home anytime soon? I'm thinking of coming down there around the end of June.
gsimmons - "I Will Be Heard" - Hatebreed. That is the ultimate pregame song.
Metallica really lost the plot when they raged against Napster when it was obvious to everyone that digital music distribution was the future. They came off as a bunch of ignorant, corporate tools in that episode.
Slayer would be great banging music...if you were trying to pork Candace Kucsulain, the lead singer from Detroit's very own The Walls of Jericho.
Searched for a video.
WOW.
Herny Rollins will eat your entrails, shit them out, plant and cultivate them, and feed them back to you.

Ninja -
I've been to some of the shows. That title "Spoken word" is just stupid.
yeah i have a fight cd.
that was pretty hard stuff....
henry rollins is cool, and smart, and tough... i like to think of him as a popular version of me... but i only have one tattoo
Lollapalooza 1991 (one stage): Jane's Addiction, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Living Colour, Nine Inch Nails, Fishbone, Violent Femmes, Ice-T with Body Count, The Butthole Surfers, Rollins Band
I saw Rollins when he opened for Jane's Addiction centuries ago. He was okay, but by the opening chord to Up the Beach, it was apparent that JA was about to mop the floor with his ass.
Lolapalooza was great for the first 2.
Body count was awesome.
For the Metallica v Napster, check this out. Some real funny shit

"Smack My Bitch Up"
in every single rob zombie song, he says "do it agan, yeeeeah."
thats sort of cool.
Funny, I was just thinking it needed more of Gunner and Matt Nelson.
You guys are old. Wow!
Faith No More: That dying fish video always disturbed me at the end.
Don't get me started on white zombie.
Rob zombie - director = good. Music = bad
keegan, old is as old does
Old and still pulling better tail than you rookie. Plus i know what to do with it when I get it home.
more human than hu u u man
Smack My Bitch Up - Did anyone here ever see the actual, uncut video? I saw it in Germany...
If you have seen it, I'm sure you'll agree: Best. Video. Ever. Bar. None.
Faith no more with cory was good. Mike Patton was better. "The real Thing" is a classic album. Not song, album.
Woodpecker for Mars will kill unconceived children.
Prodigy ftw.
Plus don't feel bad Afro, that's quite a lot of songs, I have about 1/5 of that until I get back to the island.
Charity donations...Charlie Weiss...Big Ten out of conference scheduling...the fate of Lloyd Carr's assistants...Playoffs...recruiting rankings & the NFL draft.
Wow- that covers a lot of ground. Is there any chance these entries could be broken up into smaller (single issue) entries so that comments could be more focused?
in terms of mike patton, i liked his stuff with dillenger escape plan, tomahawk, and fantomas better than FNM.
did i hear a remake of fiath no more the other day?
and i thought nelson had a cool sound,even though they looked gay, and the video was gay....
of course this comming from the same guy who thinks heart is awesome, so take it for what its worth..
@Vagablue:
And break up the intense football concentration we have going right now? Not a chance.
NELSON???
You're dead to me.
But Heart IS awesome.

I can't believe we were slurping Black Flag without saying anything about Bad Brains.
Well today we've covered movies and music, so how about TV shows?
BGH - being from Mi and all, you must have heard of the Meatmen.
Although the use of "belie the nomitive tastes" proves we're true fans of the Maize and Blue, i'd say.
After all, isn't the definition of Maize "An arrogant shade of yellow"?
yeah BGH is a music man,

plus im much more of a reviolution summer guy.
mrg these dreams is awesome... so was the buterfly song, and all i want to do is make love to you... lots of newer heart sounds were great, she just got fat, but the sound stayed cool.
obviously the meatmen were a seminal punk band. i havent listened to them for like 5 years. i think they had a guy from minor threat in the band for awhile?
man i gotta break out some of this old punk sttuff out.
i once saw a hybrid meatmen/misfits tribute band (played a little of both) put on a show. half way through, they stopped, made snowballs out of raw ground beef, and started to throw them at the crows.

Ninja,
Somehow, you just mananged to tie this thread back on topic. Bravo, sir!
sorry for the thread jack, but JoePa is in the hospital.... apparent dehydration.
I didn't go to Lilith Fair but I saw a Sarah McLachlan concert at Pine Knob and actually got laid while driving home, right on that little strech where 24 and 14 intersect. Yeah, do the math on the length of that and the spped limit- joke's on me. Anyway, I lived on Walnut in Ann Arbor. When we got back we walked in, she went straight to the closet and grabbed a blanket and took me to the Arb for more fun. I think my ass still has mosquito bites on it all these years later.
@ColoradoBlue:
I saw the name Tom Harmon on their page and said right out loud "No fucking way." to which the girls in my office wanted to know what i was talking about. Had to make up some shit about a quote that came back real low.
big gay heart,
I used to be into punk especially 80s hardcore eg Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Negative Approach, and SSD. I wanted to find out more about The Meatmen, so I typed in meatmen.com or themeatmen.com. Whoops.
I think that was a major turning point in my adolescent years. I've been emotionally scarred ever since.
Interesting fact: Tom Harmon was so good that after the 1940 OSU game in Columbus in which he put up 40 pts, even the OSU fans gave him a standing ovation.
in typical ann arbor fashion, my neighbors for 2 years on east university (all girls) would regularly lay out on their roof in the spring and summer blast sarah mclaclin while sipping red wine in their tyedye ankle length dresses.
coloradoblue, where in CO are you?
Ooops - Sorry, Tim
Yeah, thosse guys were out there. Good, classic 80's punk with a decidely homsexual flair.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
And I used to love Black Flag, too. I had Damaged (of course) and Everything Went Black.
scalz,
I never found the Meatmen's website. I ended up at a gay porn site.
Denver... South side of town.
SOUTHSIDE! sounds ghetto, thats cool though. i have the urge to move out to middle of nowhere colorado
scalz, the best punk has some type of homo undertones for some reason. you cant explain it, it is what it is.
Actually, Highlands Ranch. But anyone from Denver would tell you that's not something you readily admit.
Ian McKaye bragged about not fucking, so I guess you can call Minor Threat a bunch of homosexuals.
gsimms you will be happy to know that I finish up my classes for the semester this evening and am already working on updates for the blog that are going to BLOW YOUR MIND
Tim -
I'm at work and trying to keep my job while googling.
Tough task.
hahah straight edge. i really dont believe that ian mckye meant to release the crappiness known as straightedge on the world.
ugh.
I think that the early punk was that way because most of the artists wer just that, artists and the like.
Draw from that what you will.
tim, scalz -
i've got a ton of old, out print la, nyc, boston, and dc punk albums in mp3 format. i'll upload them at some point and let you guys have at it, if interested.
BGH - Appreciated.
Tim - when in doubt, go for myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/themeatmenrule
so artists are gay?
ahahahhahahahah
I forgot how much these guys rule.
Case in point : "french people suck"
well....early punk and hardcore was so regionalized. like in LA, they mostly just made fun of NYHC.... like fear's "new york is ok if you liek saxaphones." nyc was at odds with boston, etc, etc. i think the homosexual-esquenss of early punk can mostly be traced to the dc stuff: minor threat, rites of spring, etc.
beantown -
I never said that. But, artists tend to live on the fringes of society, as did homosexuals in that era.
I was in middle school when this happened. Accidentally seeing gay sex can be quite unsettling and traumatizing for a 14 year old. Come to think of it, I don't quite have a burning desire to see gay sex now as a 24 year old, either.
@Seattle Blue from way the fuck up in the thread re: "My Life"
Wow, I don't know what dark recess of your memory that you pulled that from, but that was it, thx.
THIS IS NOT A FUGAZI POST
I don't like punk anymore. I still kind of like Bad Brains, but I'm not so much into it.
Anyways, Boston had more of a beef with the LA punk scene, as I think DC did as well. There is that compilation from the 80s called This Is Boston, Not LA, and at the end there is a looped track of The Freeze singing "Fuck LA! Fuck LA!" Or maybe it was "Not LA."
That was a pretty damn good movie. Dated as all crazy hell and depressing to boot, but still pretty good.
"Waiting Room" ftw
Repo Man is an awesome movie. They could've left the UFO stuff out though.
gsimm:
We all have our guilty musical pleasures, believe me.
tim, yeah i was just pointing out an example.
la hardcore > NYHC
by miles and miles and miles.
except for maybe sick of it all.
Waiting room is the only Fugazi song I like. It is a classic.
"i think the homosexual-esquenss of early punk can mostly be traced to the dc stuff: minor threat, rites of spring, etc."
Try Iggy Pop and Sex Pistols. Weren't they rather flamboyant? There are others I'm thinking of. Wouldn't the Jam and MC5 also fall under that category? A lot of it also goes back to David Bowie, who IIRC played a part in punk's roots.
Op IVY, FTW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Full disclosure:
Rancid is my favorite band. Ever.
And, they're touring in June.
Well now you're talking about stuff from the late 80s and early 90s. NY had a really different early 80s scene. I never really liked NY stuff. Never got into Sick of It All, Gorilla Biscuits were WAY overrated, and the hardcore stuff from the 90s was fascistic and just sucked.
@scalz1 re: Fugazi
Agree 100%.
Not really fascist, but like really militantly straight edge. Kinda messed up.
Murphy's Law was good NYHC
i guess the context of the conversation was mostly mid to late 80's hardcore, so i was limiting my delineation ot that time period.
obviously, the sex pistols, iggy pop, bowie, and even the clash to a degree, were very flamboyant. but i think it was a bit different than the sort of behavoir that scalz was talking about. by the late 80's, punk rock had a degree of acceptability.
I guess I'm the odd Fugazi fan out.
Please note that I have little use for the straightedge stuff and I can binge drink and screw with the best of them.
Oh, and I used to LOVE Blood for Blood and Slapshot. I never liked Fugazi.
fugazi rules and so did gorilla biscuits. you guys ever listen to gayrilla biscuits? they just covered gorilla biscuits but inserted homoerotic lyrics in lieu of the normal ones. which led to classics like big black dildo.
Can't believe Manowar never came up in a Metal conversation.
So, what kind of music do you guys like?
BGH-
There's also a band called Black Fag.
Pure fucking comedy.
http://www.myspace.com/blackfag
Ha that's great!!
In the interest of Full Disclosure:
When I was in high school, I used to have about 4 "House of Krazees" tapes. (It was a local HorrorCore rap group out of Detroit).
Now I feel kinda special cuz I just busted out a group that no one's ever heard of but me, yet lame because I actually listened to that stuff.

@Big Gay
I think your take on TGI Fridays is right on. That buster chef is eating his meal like his shit don't stink. I have never seen anyone eat like that (thankfully). Then to say that Friday's has some sluts just waiting for you to take them "dancing or whatever" (as Guy puts it) is way off base. Friday's seems like a date place, I've never seen a harem there.
Furthermore their "right portion right price" deal is misleading. Yeah the stuff on their is cheap, but it sucks, why would I go to fucking friday's for pasta? And their drinks are outrageously priced - paid 7 dollars for a mix drink one time and I don't think it had a drop of liquor in it.
Last year during senior year at Michigan, I grabbed a cab with a friend. The driver was playing Dr. Dre and then a Minor Threat song. I was like, interesting transition there. Long story short, he told me that he plays with Negative Approach. I don't think he said that he was in the original lineup in the 80s, but seemed to indicate that he would be playing their reunion tour or something. He was a bitter fellow.
obviously the meatmen were a seminal punk band
Three of the greatest songs ever:
"French People Suck"
"Crippled Children Suck"
"Toolin for Anus"
Meatmen are from Detroit area, but never recall them playing in Ann Arbor when I was there.
Minor Threat was my all time favorite. Meatmen were a novelty with hilarious lyrics, but were not a great band.
I like the Descendent's from LA. Murphy's Law was a great band (were on tour with the Beastie Boys, who also used to be a punk band before rap). The Dead Miklmen are still a favorite, although they are not hardcore.
this thread immediately takes me back to my days in a2. and walking by the hippies on the sidewalk.
Fuck all Olive Garden, Chili's, Applebee's, TGIFridays, Carraba's, and places of the like.
I wish they could euthanize every patron.
J -
You forgot the song the Meatmen had about the Beatles.
"One down, three to go".
Awesome personified.
maybe being from that area heightened my perception of the meatmen, but the sheer amount of talent that played in that band has to make it a figurehead of some sort. the suck trilogy, hahahaha.
is the man still bringing us down?
scalz - good call - on the one down three to go.
Somewhere in the recesses of my garage is a shoebox with my old cassette tapes from the 1980's and my prized possession at the time "We're the Meatmen and You Suck."
It has survived 20 years and almost that many moves, and my wife is never ever ever going to throw that away, even if I don't even own a cassette player anymore.

Death Angel

I remember the days when Megadeth sold more than Metallica and then Dave M. went into a heroine abyss for a bit...
Afro, @ 4:17
re "My Life"---it was the first-date movie I went to with my (now) wife. It was traumatizing because I was trying to be cool(new girlfriend) and it was such a heartbreaking movie and I spent 1.5 hours tyring to cover up the fact that I had tears streaming down my face. The next movie we watched together was Blazzing Saddles, which was always my test for whether I dated a girl more than twice. If she did not laugh at Blazzing Saddles...there was no way we were compatible.
yeah Dave Matthews got real crazy at times
Fuck Dave Matthews and his band.
dave matthews is a pud.
haha JHS you got it wrong. dave isn't bad. DMB fans are the ones who should be burnt alive.
I err on the side of caution - take out Dave then his loyal follows.
i was driving behind a car recently with a vanity plate that read "dmb 1"
Dumb 1 WOULD fit in that case
Hey what's wrong with Dave???
The first dance at my wedding is going to be a Dave song...
hike up your skirt a little more, and show your balls to me.
Is that to me?
If so, do I have to get out of my oversized pick up truck?
There was a band from Traverse City iin the mid-90's called "The Dopes" who were kinda Widespread-ish. One of the ex-girlfriends stole my CD and I've never been able to find anything on them again. What a whore.
Btw, She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult is a great tune- I'd totally forgotten about it until I saw Layer Cake and downloaded it immediately after. Somehow it's backed up next to 99 Problems on one of my favorite playlists.
hahaha maize. i wasnt saying that to anyone in particular.
Seattle-
That's tough. She either thought you were "really sensitive', or a "giant puss". Obviously things worked out, so I'm guessing the former.
My wife and I's first date (blind) was actually to see Braveheart. For the first half hour I thought it was going to be some sappy love story, then obviously, it wasn't.
BTW, Seattle is one of my favorite cities to visit (6 times). My friend used to play for the Tacoma Rainiers. The chocolate chip scones from the Monorail Espresso cart are off da hook. And strangely, every single time I've been there, the weather has been sunny and fantastic...go figure.
dave gets unfairly hated on. he's talented. a bit cheesy, but talented.
Ninja,
"Old and still pulling better tail than you rookie. Plus i know what to do with it when I get it home."
Having it kick you in the balls and then you calling it "madam" doesn't mean you know what to do with it.
David Bowie was already around in the early 70s, before punk really exploded. He was more of an influence in early glam rock, with the makeup, spandex, and all the other crap that went with it. He had a funky/soul period in the early 80s, but it wasn't punk. He was too much the thoughtful aesthete for punk. I'll take the Ramones any day, but that's pretty old school for all of you younguns.
Afro,
I let her pick the movie....to bad she did not pick Braveheart. She may have thought I was a puss but I had a huge truck....
Its goergous here now...and is usually awesome from June-September. No humidity, no bugs. Who was your friend that played for the Rainers? Did he ever get called up to the Mariners?
I don't know too many Mariners personally, but I do represent a few Seahawks....I ran into Steve Hutchinson at a dive bar one time and we had good chat about U of M. Man, I wish they had never let him get away.
"Btw, She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult is a great tune- I'd totally forgotten about it until I saw Layer Cake and downloaded it immediately after."
I did the same thing! It was awesome in Layer Cake. In fact, it was just supposed to be a test song for that little driving scene and they ended up liking it so much that they left it. It was also in GTA: Vice City.
And fuck Dave Matthews Band and O.A.R. Both suck and are overrated, and OAR is from Columbus.
Don't get me wrong, beantownblue, I respect DMB's talent, but the music blows.
Seattle,
You should know that all Seattle sports will ever do to you is cause disappointment. I am not a sonics, mariners, or seahawks fan but I love to watch my buddies suffer every year.
Keegan,
I cannot stomach the Sonics...although I would hate to see them move to OK City. Mariners drive me nuts....but still believe every year that they are going to be better...and every year they still suck. Love the Seahawks though. That stadium is ridiculous.Shaun is finally gone so there is hope, but that has to be tempered with the fact that DeBord is on staff. I absolutely loathed him while he was at Michigan (except for the Cap1 Bowl this year).
The Cult fucking rocks.
Debord was not at the Cap1 Bowl. I will hold to that theory til I die. My boss has season tix to the hawks and loves them, hated Shaun as did I. But every year it's one disappointment after another. But he's had tix for 15 years now, so he's gotten used to it.
schoolkids records in the '80s, yes.
80s midwest hardcore, yes.
best album: naked raygun-'throb throb'
yes!
I thought I was a DMB fan for a while; for like 3 years I listened to them all the time. But I think I finally realized I only listened because I respect their talent, but on the whole the music pretty much just sucks...
Not only does DMB music suck, they threw raw sewage from the tour bus on some people a few years back.
Keegan,
I will take the dissapointment of losing in the playoffs or SB every year over the kind of misery the Lions dish out on an annual basis.
I don't even like the NFL that much, but I know it's got to suck to be a lions fan.
No hope. Kustie the Klown > Matt Millen
Sad...but true.
almost time for the prime time drive home...
Matt Millen could get Kustie to proofread the players' contracts.
i love jim harbaugh scramble...
he is my hero!
You notice how you never see Kustie and Matt Millen in the same place at the same time? I'm not saying....I'm just saying. Kustie = Matt Millen?
@Tyranacious Corenakaliphanon
I take it you are a DMB hater? I have a lot of opinions on other crappy bands too...

re: the lions
The sad thing is that the lions were around .500 or in the playoffs most years (during 1990's) before Millen arrived. It was not a terrible thing to be a lions fan. We weren't great but hey at least we weren't the worst. Now the Lions have replaced the Cardinals as the league's laughing stock all because of Millen.
Hey I haven't posted on here in a long long while. I'm just way too lazy to post. HaloScan annoys me beyond belief as well.
Any mgoblog frequenters in the Ann Arbor area up for an Ashley's evening sometime? I do love a tasty overpriced beer with people that can talk sports. My roommate is an ME grad... and doens't understand that there is world beyond geekiness. Although I did finally get him into UM Football. It only took forcing him to buy his season tickets his senior year.
I know it's been 2 hours or so, but I don't care.
Being a Lions fan is like lying face down across some railroad tracks. You know the train will come at some point and it does. It comes and it has several hundred cars attached. Each one is a jolting and devastating experience and afterwards you go "well the next car can't be that bad" and it is worse and worse. The only hope is that the curse of Bobby Layne is almost over, and when that happens perhaps a new era of non-mediocrity can happen. But I'm not holding my breath.
80's/90's music? CULT. Love them still.
Other favorites- Rancid. And especially Sublime/Long Beach Dub All-Stars/Short Bus.
Sublime's Jailhouse, Long Bch's Trailer RAS and Rancid' Junkie Man are 3 of my Top 5 songs of all time.
TOOL is the best band in the last 20 years
Anon my ex girlfriend the stripper used to dance to "Prison Sex". That band rocks.
Shit- I shouldn't be posting after happy hour.
Ninja, take back that thought.
I love me some OAR. Lets set the record straight though, they're from Rockville, MD. I never hear them reference OSU, so that's cool. Their popular songs are overplayed by college kids but they've got some real good ones too. Plus, liking them is a requirement to be on the ski team and yes I froze my ass off today on the lake.
No Chili Peppers fans? I figured they'd at least garner a mention for playing The Victors in Columbus.

U-M visit 'unbelievable'
The opinions of the McNeal's parents will carry major weight in his college choice. That's why he has made it a point to have them with him during campus visits whenever possible. His father traveled with him to Ann Arbor in late March and was impressed by what the program has to offer.
"It was unbelievable," Bronson McNeal said. "Just look at the history of Michigan. They always win and they're on TV. (The coaches) were really good, down-to-earth people. They really emphasized the education, even the strength and conditioning coach. Everybody I talked to was focused on education."
Bryce McNeal liked the coaching staff, as well.
"Usually you find one or two coaches on a staff that you like," he said. "It's rare that you get along with all of them. It's not all football with them (Michigan coaches). We talked with Coach Rodriguez for maybe an hour to and hour and a half. We also talked to the strength coach (Mike Barwis). He's a great guy. He made me want to start working out right then."
so in the m.go.licious link to the homecoming game schedule, mgoblue.com wrote this:
This will be the 108th homecoming game for the Wolverines, excluding four alumni exhibitions, and the 112th all-time homecoming game played by U-M in Ann Arbor
I'd hate to be one of those teams that plays homecoming on the road. I'm so glad the specified we've played them all in Ann Arbor.

"The sad thing is that the lions were around .500 or in the playoffs most years (during 1990's) before Millen arrived. It was not a terrible thing to be a lions fan."
JHS, you might be too young to have a direct memory, but the Lions have sucked much more often than not ever since WC Ford bought the team back in 1964. Millen is only the most recent (albeit spectacular) incompetent hack that Ford hired; the hackitude goes back 44 years. Up until Ford bought the team, the Lions were one of the most competitive franchises in the league, and if it weren't for the Packers probably would have played in at least one NFL championship in the very early 60s.
Just think of all the retread coaches in the NFL who've had positions with two or more teams in the last several decades, and then consider that no Lions HC has gone on to be a HC of another team since George Wilson was fired in the early 60s and went on to be the first coach of the Dolphins. I just hope that the Lions coaching graveyard effect doesn't trickle down to affect Loeffler.
@ rodfather: Benzig is 6' 10" wing that's extremely skinny. Sort of a more skilled version of Eric Puls. I don't think he's necessarily considered "elite" but he probably wouldn't be a bad use of Udoh's scholarship, particularly if he gets his post game going.
Also, The Cult is a great band and, to me, Ian Astbury has the quintessential "metal" voice.

Whoa! Watching the Today Show and they're talking about the girl who killed herself after her ex-friend's mom created a fake account and harassed her. They said if the mom is convicted it could make any kind of insults on the web "illegal". We could all be in trouble and Ninja and I are looking at some serious time. I'm pretty sure I've insulted someone into to at least slapping themselves in the face on this board.
it was a myspace account by the way
gsimmons - Looks like the M Zone (and subsequently EDSBS) picked up on your O-H-H-O find.
I understand the dead girls mom wants justice, but she says she wants the other mom to get a life sentence. If that were the case, a lot of parents at my work would be getting 5-10.
Keegan, that story is crazy. Iirc, that mom is crazy. She leads on this little girl for like two months, pretending to be a boy who is i"interested in her." And, then, abruptly, she sends the little girl a message that goes soemthing like "the world is better off without you."
When dealing with 13 year olds, you have to remember, they aren't grown up. this was just terrible...i really hope that lady goes to jail for a long time.
bullying kids is terrible when its kids on kids. when you throw an adult inot the mix, its exponentially worse.

I'm pretty grape crack would be even more great than regular crack.
5 years would seem appropriate for crazy MySpace mom in my totally arbitrary justice system. I'm concerned about the precedent, but there has to be some sort of consequence for her totally irresponsible actions.
crack is the gift that doesnt stop giving. until it does, and you end up sucking off guys you meet on craigslist.
hahah MRG. We need to set up a business meeting with skittles executives and crack dealers and get this flavored crack thing rolling.
to hell with sausages!
That mom that drove the girl to suicide was an obsessive helicopter parent. She should be locked away before she ruins her own daughter's life.
I hear about these types of parents all the time. Just watch. The next generation will be so spoiled and won't know how to do anything without having mommy or daddy stick up for them. Maybe there's hope for my own kids if I eventually have any. They'll learn to live by the law of the wolf.

I work in athletics at a Boys 7 Girls Club. We run all of the youth sports in the county. You would not believe the shit I've witnessed from parents. I just fired an Asst. baseball coach yesterday and now I know I will have to have a 2 hr meeting with him because he doesn't understand that hitting his kid upside the helmet in front of everyone on the field "isn't acceptable".
while the whole "crack is thwe white man's way of keeping the black man down" thing is bs, the respective sentencing guidelines for crack and cocaine are seriously racist.

another time, in a soccer game i was actually participating in, a parent from the opposing team pulled down his pants and told this romanian ref to suck his dick. unbelievable, i saw some hick's penis and it was horrible.totally scarred me.

Man you just don't fuck with kids. It's not right. Unless you're a hot female teacher and they're in high school in which case they should give you a medal.
BGH,
I had a mom berate an ump one time in a 9/10 year old REC. baseball game. She claimed she had evidence on her camera that the boy was out at home. Said she had it on film and we needed to see it. I was supervising and I told the mom we hadn't instituted Instant Replay yet, but when we do I'll take it under consideration. She believed me too.
...and this mom brought a bullhorn and proceeeded to use it to harass the opposing girls team.
Maybe I'm just an asshole but I think this woman deserves a mother of the year award. Hang on let me check....
Yup. I'm an asshole.
In gay news,
Anyone watching/heard American Idol about David A's dad?
Tell me straight up that guy doesn't hit his wife and kid.
blacks are just looking for excuses...boo hoo

That's why charlie weis is white, he doesn't make excuses, and if he were black he would have been fired by now.
No seriously, this would be absolutely hilarious if the woman wasn't a parent. But she is which just makes it pathetic. You should have to have a license to breed. I think part of the reason I'm not into the idea of having kids is because you'd have to deal with other kids' parents. I've worked too hard to make sure I don't have to associate with people I can't stand, why start now?
In related news, I'm totally going to shop for a bullhorn online today.
in The Office news,
Ninja, bearhorn beats bullhorn.
Where is everyone?
Haloscan?
Sports parents are definitely nuts up through high school. I can't count the number of times I've wanted to smack someone in the face. The problem for me is that all the local parents are potential customers for me, so I can't just go around smacking obnoxious parents who take their kids' sporting events WAY too seriously. Like the woman whose hockey player was probably 8-10 years old, and she was shouting at him and generally looking like she was going to have a heart attack because he was doing something wrong and if they lost the game his life would be over. I wasn't actually working at that one, so I just left.
Sgt: I'm available to be hired as a freelance Parent Slapper.
On the bad parents thing. I used to referre hockey games and one time this kid got mugged pretty bad. The other ref put his arm up to call the penalty so I didn't put mine up. The coach jumped off the bench, came towards me and tried to hit me. He then called me a "peckerwood" and I said, "well this peckerwood just threw you out of the building." I turned to the other coaches and said, "if he isn't off the premises of this building in 2 minutes your team will forfeit and it will all be his fault." They had to wrestle him out the doors and the manager of the place had to talk to him outside. All because he wasn't cool with only one of the on rink officials raising his arm for a penalty. This was a 12 and under tournament game. His kid's team lost too because of the penalties that his dad racked up being an asshole.
BGH - It's okay, Ryan Baum took care of those clowns at the soccer game.
Excellent! That leaves me free to do my job. Just remember: if you are caught or killed, my secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
I think my favorite stupid parent quote was during a JV football game. The refs called pass interference -- it actually wasn't a bad call -- and one of the dads yelled, "Come on! Make it fair for the kids!"
Having just read this entire thread I would like to clear some things up.
1. I saw Lilith Fair (twice—once before it became Lilith Fair) and I am not Lebanese.
2. I worked at the Olive Garden and I do not want to be euthanized although it did make me wonder why anyone would wait for 2 hours to eat that. Let this be a cautionary lesson on how boring Dayton, Ohio is.
3. I have seen both DMB and OAR and do not feel like I should be burned alive. DMB only once because it was at Nissan Pavilion where they do their best to make sure no one has any fun. If OAR isn’t from Columbus why do they sing a song about Columbus. OAR was better before the lead singer stopped drinking and removed all mention of alcohol from their songs.
4. A now defunct bar in Columbus, Mean Mr. Mustards, used to have AC/DC and the Cult night. They sold beer in buckets (meaning a bucket of tap beer not 4 stupid bottles in a bucket) and the ‘dance floor’ was a battleground. The ‘tables’ were broken picnic tables.
5. I saw the Dismemberment Plan’s final show and danced on stage for Ice of Boston. That’s got to be good for something.
6. Anal fissures are not funny.
7. Once you leave the Midwest you realize Ashley’s is not overpriced.
I should note that the "make it fair for the kids" quote wasn't one of the really obnoxious ones; that was one of the few that actually make me laugh (even though he was serious). Most of the comments are far worse than that.
Sgt, I will careful not to get caught as doing so could cause quite a ruckus or kerfuffle.
Ninja, I think this could be a lucrative service. I will hire you to slap the parents of my wife's middle school students who believe that any conceivable jackassery their child takes part in is beyond reproach.
pre-supposing, of course, that ninja can get actually gain admittance to the sporting event in question. it bears noting that single guys who wear don johnson floral print shirts a rock catapillar mustaches with coke-bottle glasses are often - unfairly or otherwise - suspected as molesters.
whats tragic about ninja's situation, in particular, is that in his mind, he thinks he looks like tom selleck.
Yeah, parent-slapping could be a full-time occupation, even just marketing it only to teachers. But I would definitely use that service a lot as a high school sports photographer. Especially when there are parents at their kids' sporting events, which is ALL THE TIME.
@ima:
I actually had quite an excellent jager-fueled defense of DMB and other bands people love to hate last night. Then I had a jager-fueled idiot moment and refreshed before posting it and lost all my work. Then I got distracted by something shiny. While I don't think they're the end-all be-all I do enjoy a lot of their stuff. Seems there are certain bands people just love to hate on once they get too big.
I've served or bartended at everything from a college bar to high end fine dining, and I refuse to wait two hours to eat almost anywhere. I helped open the Cheesecake Factory in Cincinnati, and the first Friday night we were open they had a 5 hour wait. They quit taking names at 8 b/c we closed at 1. That's just stupid.
As for Lilith Fair, Sarah McLachlan should change her name to Panty-Dropper McGee. Put on one of her albums and the panties just magically disappear.
when my parents came to my games, they would often remark afterwards that i just wasnt as good as some of the other players. my dad always chalked it up to faulty genetics.
@ imafreak
I went to see the Dismemberment Plan in the basement of a house in Ann Arbor back in 2002 (I think).
I'm kinda famous because I talked to Travis Morrison for a couple minutes after their set.
"my wife's middle school students who believe that any conceivable jackassery their child takes part in is beyond reproach."
Which is why I'm a big proponent of video cameras on every fucking wall it can be proven to these asswipe parents that their precious little Ethan or Luis or DeQuan really did try to set the school on fire.
Are you a fan of "1984"?
bgh,
The students busted at SDSU are fucked mainly because of all the weed they had.
There is that racist discrepancy between prosecution of crack and pure coke possession, but the laws regarding pot are out of control. The minimum sentence laws for possessing and/or selling certain amounts of pot are insane. I read in Reefer Madness that you can get a life sentence for possessing a large amount of weed. No other drug has such a harsh penalty. And these changes were all made in the past 20 years. Some of them IIRC were written into federal law in Congress. It's disgusting that politicians have unnecessarily inflated drug penalties so that they can excuse themselves for their own drug use as well as divert attention away from it. The ultimate hypocrisy.
anal fissures are 2 of the funniest words strung together - almost, but not quite on par with "spastic colon"
"I really hope that lady goes to jail for a long time."
If I ran the show, she'd be strapped to Ol' Sparky and given the juice until she's the consistency of a tater tot. She killed that girl as surely as she shot her with a gun.
Seriously. I'm the only Democrat I know who's 100% in favor of the death penalty. In fact, I think it's not applied often enough.
Don, I'm not a Democrat or Republican, but I agree with you 100%. They should definitely execute more criminals. If you kill someone or play a key role in someone's death, you deserve to be killed. Simple as that.
I'm coaching 3rd/4th grade girls soccer right now. What a fantastic age! The girls are still (somewhat) innocent and pure, listen and actually do what they're instructed, without any interference from their parents. My ass't and I have had nothing but the best feedback from their parents, and to a person they've been supportive, cheer loudly and fairly for their (and other) kids, and when we've asked them to do drills with their kids they do it and the child shows improvement. I asked them to even applaud and cheer for opposing players when they make stellar plays, and they do that as well.
Wouldn't trade our team and league for anything. And I can't fathom any of the parents doing those sorts of things mentioned earlier.
If they did, I'd stop the game and escort them out of the area.
pre-supposing, of course, that ninja can get actually gain admittance to the sporting event in question.
That shouldn't be a problem. When I'm on my game I could talk the Devil into setting himself on fire.
whats tragic about ninja's situation, in particular, is that in his mind, he thinks he looks like tom selleck.
That's exactly why I wear those 80's nut-hugger shorts everywhere. Well, that and the fact that I have great legs. Seriously, covering these things up would be a criminal offense.
re death penalty...
maybe if everybody on death row had access to johnnie cochran and f.lee bailey; but as long as justice is so unjustly applied, no way.
Waymen, I'm pretty sure the use of the phrase "I read in Reefer Madness" should never be used in conjunction with "IIRC" in an attempt to make a point.
Serioulsy, where is everyone today? I'm trying to get absolutely no work done and you guys really aren't helping.
I'm here.
I brought up American Idol. That must have made people leave...
there is nothing to talk about
Best line ever is when a parent yells
"Call it both ways"
To my 17 year old ref who is just trying to earn some gas money, like he gives a shit who wins.
One time, I had a mom yell at me for 30 minutes at work about all these "incidents" when I explained what actually happened and why they happened, she yelled this exact quote:
"Keegan, all you are doing is bringing up facts...and that isn't doing any good"
I shit you not.
NBC decided yesterday to ruin the Late Show by choosing Jimmy Fallon to take over for Conan O'Brien. Supposedly they were considering Demitri Martin, who is awesome.
Lorne Michaels runs the Late Show, and even though Jimmy Fallon ruined half of his skits he's still a loyal fucker.
When my brother was playing football in HS (this is in what most people would call "the sticks") some kid got hit really hard and some jackass behind me shot up out of his seat and said the dumbest phrase I've ever heard in my entire life:
"Holllly Cowrippers"
That's right. Holy Cow Rippers. This is even worse than "pin your ears back."
Yeah the call it both ways thing in a high school or lower sporting event is seriously dumb. I mean, it's dumb at the college and pro level too, but especially for those ages. It was really bad when I did some IM officiating too. Like I gave a shit who wins the epic inner tube water polo matchup between "For Love of the Game" and "The Flying Dutchman"
dex was involved in a point shaving scheme with the Flying Dutchmen. Don't let him tell you differently.
On the death penalty thing. I'm totally against it. Not the killing but the way they do it. It is soooo expensive. Here's a solution:
By a bullet, rent a gun and dig a hole then call it good. If it's quick and painless, how is it inhumane? Or for nasty criminals I'm all for the approach African prisons took when they had AIDS infected inmates rape the really bad criminals ie: child molestors. Problem then is that they die slowly and use up my tax dollars. In the end I take the "save money" approach over the slow and painful one.
Ninja,
I apologize if that offends, but it's not nearly as offensive as you in nut-huggers. HEYYOOOOHHHH
This is why I love EDSBS:
This is from "The Corrections" post today.
Monday’s Better Know The Big East quiz stated that the basic unit of currency in West Virginia is C), “tarp”. The correct answer is A), “gravel”. We regret the error.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Tarp! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHA
Gravel! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
West By God Virginia Folks.
This is a true story. I got picked up for "speeding" in WV. I was going 60 in a 55.
Can anyone guess how much the ticket was?
23 cubic yards of gravel?
Musket;
I have heard someone say "oh barughah" after a big hit in a hockey game. Did not know what to do, slap the man or simply act like I did not hear it.
It just so happened to be my dad.
True Story!
My parents always use to tell me I was to fat, and they were embarrassed to bring me out in public, let alone play any kind of sport.
Maize,
Was the cost of the ticket a sexual payment? Because then all you had to pay with was your pride.
Not one or two, but three of the top offensive linemen – in fact, the top three linemen in the Chicago area, according to Rivals.com analyst Tim O'Halloran of the award winning prep site EdgyTim.com – will be in town for Rich Rodriguez's barbeque at the Big House this weekend …
WHO ARE THEY?
Watt, Schofield and I have no idea. Zielinski maybe?
The ticket in WV was 14 racoon pelts and 3 wampum.
Which is $170 American.
Holy crap. The change in schedule difficulty between last year and this year for Hawaii is ginormous. For OOC games, they play Florida and Oregon St (no cupcake) on the road, and then they end the season against Wazzou and Cincinnati. Ok, so they play I-AA Weber St, but Hawaii possibly has the hardest OOC schedule in the country. Plus they have to play at Boise St.
Unfortunately for the Rainbow Warriors, they're going to lose every one of those games except for Weber St!
All in all. Never drive through WV.
You'll see their "welcome" signs that say Open For Business. When in fact, if you drive through the state any time after 8pm. Everything is closed.
Even children mock adults who don't swear properly. Of course, my kid's hobby is to act shocked by visible exclamations of "Fuck!" (not by her mother, by the athletes) during televised sporting events. Last night while we watched UM spank NU, she was reminiscing about David Price's massive F-bomb when Alan Oaks knocked his pitch out of the park during the Vandy Regional.
I learned to swear by watching sports with *my* mother. True story. That and Dan Jenkins novels.
WVU is also fucked. They play ECU and Colorado on the road and then face Auburn at home.
At least their tight ends should be awesome.

Cat...football_season
Maize4Blue -- but the roads are good. Lots of federal highway transportation dollars spent in WBGV.
The lack of food options usually sends us other ways, though. Even before 8 p.m. the choices are pretty limited. Probably because we rarely have enough tarp with us.
I always imagined driving through WV as a beautiful drive through the mountains with "Country Roads" playing in the background. Now I can only see getting pulled over by Sheriff Rosco Coltrane.
You guys notice that McNeal's other leader is Clemson? WTF is going on down there, do they get a complimentary blumpkin when they commit?
new post
Just FYI, Keegan, but B&GC does not run all youth sports in this country. Not trying to be a dick, just couldn't leave that hanging out there...
