Please don’t punch me in the neck.

Tunch pics. That is the only Zen wifey will accept. Otherwise she’ll give you an earful.

Here is where a drunken Cole trips over Tunch and claims he was attacked, resulting in injuries and a prolonged regimen of nyquil and tylenol w/codeine.

Is it wrong that I kindof enjoy it when JC has to come tell us kids to get off his lawn? I feel like I should buy him some scotch or something for putting up with all this crap.

@ulee: If Tunch is involved, I wouldn’t just dismiss the possibility of malicious intent.

Unrelated to anything posted thus far, I have discovered that North Coast’s Acme California IPA pairs up really well with apple pie.
Umm, fuck off all you fuckers? (Just trying to maintain the mood here.)

@Shinobi: I’m with you. I was gonna offer him some of the Bushmills I got for Christmas, but then, well, there would be less for me.

This is for lamh34: Little Korean girl kills it singing Adele. If she’s just mimicking the words, it’s amazing.

I’m thinking the only game tomorrow that will have any real meaning for the combatants is the DAL-NY contest on SNF.
Everything else meaningful is already in the can, although it would be hilarious if SD and KC both win, and AFC West tumbles further down the rabbit hole.
If there was a “Fan SuperBowl” it would be cool to see the Saints fans have at the Raiders flock of souls. I’ll go Saints because I bet their tailgating is better.

Cole was warned. I tried to help, as always.

Holy dog shit. I step out for a few hours to build my new computer, and the entire blog gets wrapped around the fucking axle. Did the trolls get together with an eight-ball or something?

I was wondering was there ever such a pally-pally prez-veep like Obama-Biden before ? I can’t recall any such friendly duo at all.
Not to forget both the ladies too.

If Ron Paul won the nomination, how badly would he lose? I’m guessing 65-35.

My beloved Sooners won, all is right with the world.(sigh). But all of you praying for an asteroid strike to beat both teams, you’re doing’ it wrong, you took out the ESPN SkyCam instead! Neeners! OU won!
Brian S
@BruceFromOhio: Well, if St Louis pulls off the unlikely and beats the Niners, then the 2 seed is up for grabs. But that’s not likely. Other possibility is that Brady goes pass-happy and tries to make up 190 yards on Brees and snatch away the single season record. I suspect Brady and Belichick are douchey enough to consider it. Fortunately for the Saints, Payton’s pretty douchey too.
J. Michael Neal
@amk: That’s because no one has ever *enjoyed* being VP as much as Biden does. It’s frickin’ amazing watching him. I wonder if he’s realized that he’s happier now than he would have been if he’d ever won the top job.

John Cole @ top: I can’t decide if I want to be irritating as a denizen of (so-called) real life or irritating as a you people. Seem to be my two options and I am never satisfied. Can’t I be a real life irritating person? A Prodigy and/or Polymath combining Actual Concrete Physical Existence and Supreme Artistry at Exasperation & Affront simultaneously? Oh well, decisions, decisions. . .

I’ve never heard of a Little Feat ‘tribute’ band (unless you count post Lowell Little Feat) there must be some; if I had one I’d call it either Hamburger Midnight or (of course) Sailin’ Shoes.

I’m a little slower on the uptake than usual.

Hmmmmm. I don’t know if Little Feat is quite what Bodhidharma had in mind.
Triassic Sands
Life must be really sad when one’s fantasy world includes Little Feat. I’m starting to feel sorry of J. Cole.
@handy:
I don’t know what to call their music, but it always struck me as mostly just plain ol’ bad.
But then tastes do vary. (Otherwise, we might all be over at Red State braggin’ about our concealed carry licenses and how ruggedly independent we all are. Oooh, creepy.)

Wahoo! I received notification that my calendar has shipped. Thanks again to Beth for designing it.

I wonder if we could get a bit more explanation on what “douche rock” exactly is?

It irritates me that the CD version of “Waiting for Columbus” left out “Don’t Bogart That Joint.”

I enjoy a great night out with the missus & wake up to find this! You people should be ashamed of yourselves! Poor John works his fingers to the bone to make this a decent place and you go and hurt him like this!

@Raven:
His daughter Inara George has a fantastic voice. Her band The Bird and the Bee is well worth hearing.

We went to a Little Feat concert in Charleston once. Because Bonnie Raitt was the opener. She Rocked! It was early in her career, but she already hid what it takes to rock her world.
We stayed for a couple of LF tunes, then left with the rest of the crowd. Well, much of the crowd.
I’m glad this year is almost over. I won’t miss it for an instant. ’12 has to be better. 2011 sucked. If the ‘eers beat Clemson, 2012 will already have beaten 2011.

Loralei, I went to OU for two glorious, drunken years in the late 70s, after which I had to take two years off from college to get my act together before going back to school, but I loved my time there.
My family from my dad’s side is from OK and we all grew up rabid Sooner football fans; something that’s in my blood. What’s your connection?
I’m happy about the win too, overall I find Stoops to be an uninspiring leader who has choked and mis-coached OU out of a couple of national championship opportunities.

@jl: I went back to that aforementioned thread and read what Cole was so upset about. He is right, it was kinda icky. Saying that, I think you were right to call out that troll about his remarks about the Sandusky child/victim. It may have been better to just have told him to get lost as his views were way out of bounds and not sink to his level of calling names. But I share your outrage and probably would have sunk to that level too. (if I had been online at the time.) I work on child sexual abuse cases regularly and I can tell you (I know it goes without saying) that NO child enjoys being raped. It is VERY disturbing that the troll could make that argument.

That comment was actually meant for Yutsano, not sure who jl is or why it didn’t reply to Yutsano, but anyway….

@Kola Noscopy: I was there in the early 80’s. Same connection, both my folks went there, my dad’s father and several of my moms older relatives. And I was born in Norman and returned for college. My mom’s family still lives in PoDunk, OK. But yea, I got the crazy crimson in my blood.

@PeakVT:
I took the comment to mean that he was calling Cole a douche. But I could be wrong; I’ve been a bit slow lately.

If there was truly a benevolent god, he would reincarnate Lowell George and Molly Ivins to help get us through the current tidal wave of excreta washing over us
Aardvark Cheeselog
A good friend once pointed out that, if solid proof of the nonexistence of a benevolent omnipotent god was needed, it could be found in a comparison of the fates of Lowell George and Barry Manilow.
I think we were listening to Spanish Moon at the time.

@JR in WVa:
What year was that? Bonnie and Little feat had a long standing relationship. They both released their 1st albums in 1971.
Here is a cool link to a 72 bootleg from a radio broadcast with Lowell George and John Hammond
