OT: I am watching the Eagles-Packers preseason game. Tebow is in at QB, and the Eagles announcers must be getting a nickel every time they say his name, because it no longer seems like a real word to me. Also, they specifically told me I need to get excited about a 5th string WR who came out of Delaware Valley Community College because "he has practice squad written all over him." Nah, I don't think so.
They're now saying it's minor, phew. But, goddamn, they should be playing beer vendors at WR, and all our real ends should be packed in bubble wrap until the actual season starts.
"Tebow"'Drink!'
Damn, I wish I coulda watched that damn game. We just got restin' angry face Philip Rivers (who should totes join Tom Coughlin, so they can just be fucking angry together all the time) and Russell "I won't fuck Fucking Ciara until we're married or whatever" Wilson. (Why does he always remind me of Alfonso Ribeiro?) Fuck the Carlton, here's some |Cabbage Patch| for y'all. Grow some soul, bitches.
Yeah, that Russell Wilson/Ciara reborn virgin thing is going to work out as well as when Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears tried it (Russell is totally a Britney).
Let me recreate the fourth quarter of the Eagles-Packers game: TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW wow, the moon is really full over Lambeau TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW Delaware Valley Community College TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW. These are all exact quotes. (Also too, did they eliminate kicking for the extra point after TDs? Every single TD this preseason has been followed by a two-point attempt. Which ALWAYS fails.)
Ha! Drink! 4th and 26! (that's being mean..) Really? Tebow Tebow Tebow and Community College.. Fuuuuuckdamn.
I would have loved to have seen that, honestly. Hilarity still ensues in my head. : D
An NFL Championship is an NFL Championship! It totally counts! So what if some of the newcomers have those dumb gaudy rings. AFC teams aren't really part of the NFL We are just humoring them.
Oh, sheesh, thanks Shel. Rooting for the Iggles is often times harder than math.
–wait, who did I draft? Oh, a complete disjointed Iggles team? Oh, fuck me. At least they aren't together.
Shhh, Cmdr is sleeping because he's a weenie. Dammit, I want to wake him up just for his take on this, but I won't. Skol! <—- (see, it's already started).
Semi-competitive games is the best time to practise the new point(s) after rule before the season starts, so might as well squeeze as many in as possible, I guess.
Of course that might mean they end up icing their own kickers…. they need to get used to real time situations too!
I have been following football since I was 2. I won the Fucking Fleener. When I drunkenly muse about preseason PATs, I am not looking for an explanation.
Cool story bro ;p
But seriously, I find myself apologising yet again for commenting/musing upon a subject with which you have far more experience and knowledge. And, to paraphrase Quentin Crisp, I seem to have upset you in some way.
I can only apologise once more, and trust that if, when generally splattering thoughts around the Wonkiverse in my usual slapdash style, without really taking proper note of who typed the comment or OP, I happen to "reply" to you or within a chain or nest of responses in a way that you take personally umbrage – well… just press 'ignore'.
Life is short. Have fun.
PS Well done for winning the Fleener thingy. I won First Prize in a "describe an item from our menu" competition once. It was cool! Haven't won much in the intervening years, tho.
PPS Apologies again if you read my PS in a way that causes any insult or just passive indifference. Like I say, ignore at your pleasure.
Peace out.
Nah, US foo-ball is serious bidness here. Don't apologize. FFS, my papier mache art thingy in fourth grade was Ron Fucking Jaworski. There were cats and smurfs, but dammit, I so carefully crafted that 7 on his back.
Honestly, I should probably apologize for that shit..
(no really–never apologize for anything here. just stop it– Shelwood's prolly still mad at 4th and 26). 😀
If she isn't, I'll be.
Why not? Eight years ago this time who would have bet we'd ever have a half black president?
I was 13 when these were posted, no wonder I missed them.
Edit: LMAO this was a top-tier moment, and I'm glad I didn't see it until now. Younger me wouldn't have even understood what was going on
Yes, this is best appreciated as a worldly adult. Or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
The only time that came close to the hysteria of this moment, IMHO, was the Infamous & Fun Fall of Cocktober and Blovember. I don't have links for the comments, but the Way back Machine probably does. The Commentariat were so good, so spot on, so very fucking funny, that I said to myself "There's no way I can possibly keep up with these folks". It was years before I dipped my toe in the Comment Pool again.
No surprise, it's had me fuxxored for a long time. It's better than it was, but my gawd, how many scripts need to run at the same time?
I don't even use the web for porn or kittens anymore, or even research. A script on one open tab grinds the whole thing to a stop. I swear, I did better through a 56k modem than I do with 20mb cable.
Betting it was the new endorsement from Deez Nuts that did it.
Did Deez Nuts refuse to confirm he wouldn't stand as an independent, or am I thinking of someone else?
I think you're thinking of someone who would be a far worse president than that.
I'm still waiting for Senator Professorski Warrenova.

His name is Hussein Obama, shaddup.
Exactly, with a muslim name to boot.
Thanks, Arizona? (footnote, but hey!)

You know who else blamed Wonkette for everything?
Senator Mike DeWine ?
Please tell me this DeWine thing is a real thing that happened.
Really? This goes way back to the AMC/Original Wonkette Days. If you don't know, you'll get a bit of a kick out of this:
Jessica Cutler
A Girl After Our Own heart
The Lost Washingtonienne
"Buttsechs". That is all.

[Adblock Plus and NoScript in Firefox] Sssshhhhh!
I've had poor results with NoScript, mostly because I have the dumb.
