So is this more of a "When I come back like Jordan wearing the 4-5" type of thing, or a Too Short "I'm retiring/No, just kidding, I'm not/ No seriously, I'm retiring/ No, I lied again..." type of thing. Or are you pulling a Keith Jackson, going on a long winded farewell tour, only to casually drop a "By the way, I'm not really going anywhere..." at the tours last stop?
BTW, Without You I'm Nothing is a great album, but I didn't get into Placebo until Black Market Music, so that might explain my appreciation for what came after (and I must admit, the only reason I discovered Placebo was because Timo Maas remixed Special K and Brothers In Rhythm remixed Passive Aggressive-- yes, it's true, my freshman year of college I was an ecstasy popping, Twilo going club kid. I hated typing that last sentence as much as you hated reading it.).
The two blonde girls could be the same broad in two seperate occasions where the flash was too bright.
yo what did cornell ever do to you yo?!? why wouldnt u accept him.
Smooth: they're sisters. And as far as Cornell, it's just the closest thing I can think of to Northwestern in all the important factors that I lay out. You know; prestigious, kinda state-schoolish, lots of sports fans, not particularly known for its coeds.
Don't you mean EDGAR Winter? I think you should look into hiring an intern for fact checking purposes.
"Uh... that's Herbie Hancock"
I cracked a big smile at all the indirect allusions to the high quality of totty at UGA, as well as the calling-out of Shanoff for the "my wack-ass opinions are legitimized simply because I had the balls to say them out loud" philosophy he has evidently taken on in his writing.
But "Tiki, you better have hit that at UVA" would've made milk go gushing out my nose, had I been drinking milk at the time. See, dude, you can't quit this shit. You're too good at this, and you know it.
By the way, you're not any relation to Sasha Cohen . . . uh, are you?
There's about a million Cohens I'd like to be related to, first and foremost Sasha Baron Cohen. Not so much the ice skater. Really, being in just about any other Cohen bloodline than the one I'm currently in would solve just about all of my problems in terms of the job search. My Entertainment Law book literally had more cases involving the name "Cohen" than "Smith" and "Jones" combined.
I'm glad to see your hiatus was about as long lived as the George O'Leary era at Notre Dame.
Congratulations on using "Melissa Stark" and "UVa" in the same sentence without also including "lacrosse team."
Good call on that, Mike. She is originally from the B-more area, so she probably knew the basics of lacrostitution.
By the way, great stuff on the prior post about ISIS and I-29. Did you go to UVA at any point?
I'm still a few months away from picking up my giant diploma.
You earned the title again. Nothing's funnier than Kool Keith, especially "Sex Style" and its fly-ass cover.
Could not be more totally with you on the Melissa Stark thing. Most favorable cute/competent ratio of any sideline reporter, Bonnie Bernstein included.
In a related item, Doug is right. I was back in Athens last Friday, when I had it confirmed yet again that the first girl you see on the University of Georgia campus will be better looking than the best looking girl you see in a month of driving through any other town.
A University of Georgia education has many benefits, but one of the drawbacks is that it causes a man to have artificially high standards when it comes to women. My advice to a Georgia student: find yourself a wife while you're there. Once you depart the Classic City, the pickings get mighty slim.
As for the Northwestern/Cornell/Georgia thing, I applaud your shrewd decision to exclude Boston College and Syracuse, secure in the knowledge that every B.C. and Syracuse journalism graduate is working for E.S.P.N. already.
On a side note, as a practicing attorney and alumnus of the Joseph Henry Lumpkin School of Law at the University of Georgia addressing a third-year law student at that selfsame institution, thanks for providing a bit of escapism this afternoon; I tried paying a visit to E.D.S.B.S. for a brief break and what were they talking about over there? The legal minutiae surrounding the merits, vel non, of an ex-Bulldog football player's suit against the University! Dudes! Not cool! Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in!
Finally, I respect your work ethic. You post more while on hiatus than half the working webloggers do while on active status.
"Once you depart the Classic City, the pickings get mighty slim."
Is "slim" really the best word to use there, Mayor? I worked in Atlanta this summer and got an apartment off-campus at Emory; any girl from UGA who needs to feel a little better about themselves needs to hang out by the Emory outdoor pool.
Fair enough, Ian. I should have distinguished between the pickings and the pickees.
Also, just as a constructive criticism, you did a fine job working the words "Melissa Stark" and "nude" into the same sentence, but I believe "naked" works better than "nude" in that context.
Granted, "nude" sounds classier than the comparatively crude "naked," but the interplay of "Stark" with "naked" makes "naked" the better word to use, in this context, to denote (in the words of Lewis Grizzard) "you ain't got no clothes on."
I have no doubt that Arthur Johnson and Lonny Baxter were the same guy. What was surprising to me was, a couple weeks ago, a friend told me he had a Lonny Baxter sighting while flipping past an NBA game, and it wasn't just him sitting in the stands watching Juan Dixon and Little Stevie Blake playing.
In the meantime, I had an interesting event happen today that ties nicely with the UGA girls and Melissa Stark and such discussion. I guess as a recent acceptee to law school at UGA, they saw fit to send me a copy of the latest issue of Georgia Law Advocate, Fall 2005/Winter 2006, available on the internets for anyone who wants to google and look. So I'm flipping through and get to page 42 where I find a picture with a girl, announcing her wedding to a UGA law grad. Nothing too special about that except for the fact that it's a girl I went to high school with and may have, alledgedly, fooled around with at some point. I won't say which of the 4 pictures it is to preserve some anonymity for the poor girl in her newly wed state, but point being, what in the holy hell am I going to law school for if I'm going to end up bagging the same chicks I was getting back in high school?
nice
