Basketball Coma – Friday Night (Almost Finished!)

Remember that scene in “The Great Outdoors” where John Candy is trying to eat that 96-oz steak (one has to suspend disbelief and pretend that would be a challenge), and Dan Aykroyd insists he’s finished. “There’s nothing left on that plate but fat and gristle!”

Ladies and gentlemen, your fat and gristle…

10E Pittsburgh vs. 7E Wisconsin (6:50, TNT)

The bland leading the bland. Anytime one of these sides is ahead, feel free to use this historically apt line.

14E Stephen F. Austin vs. 3E West By God Virginia (7:10, CBS)

Taking on all of The King of Track Suits’ men seems like a mighty tall order for one dude, even if’n he is from Texas.

14W Green Bay vs. 3W Texas A&M (7:20, TBS)

Both of these professional sports organizations are far more known for their footy pursuits, so what an interesting fish out of water tale this shall be!

16(T)W Holy Cross vs. 1W Oregon (7:27, truTV)

No means quack?

15E Weber State vs. 2E Xavier (9:20, TNT)

Harold “The Show” Arcineaux ain’t walking through that door, which is too bad, because Xavier be ripe for the pluckin.’

11(T)E Michigan vs. 6E Notre Dame (9:40, CBS)

Something about Desmond Howard and Rocket Ismail.

11W Northern Iowa vs. 6W Texas (9:50, TBS)

This makes me think about former Panther RB David Johnson, who will be my top keeper next season, and now I really wants it to be football season already. Also, FUCK TEXAS and FUCK SHAKA SMART.

9W Cincinnati vs. 8W St. Joseph’s (9:57, truTV)

Phil Martelli looks exactly the same as when he coached that Elite Eight squadron, which I think was like 15 years ago. Pretty sure he bathes in toddler blood. Also pretty sure he would kick Mick Cronin’s ass in a fight, which would make this game worth watching.

So, WVU lost in the first round, when they should have at least made the Sweet 16, if not Elite Eight. I have the answer

Meh…I was going off the youtube links. Too drunk to search goodly.
It’s just about the muzik.

I’m weirdly fond of this song. I think it’s the liberal use of minor chords. SCREW YOU MODERN POP WITH YOUR AVOIDANCE OF FLATS!

How dare you mock them. Boobs are offensive. Seeing someones face shot off is family friendly. This is ‘Merica. What are you? Some sort of terrorist that wants to destroy us? Or worse, a democrat?

JerBear50

Boobs are one of the biggest hidden dangers to our way of life. Which is why we should expose them every chance we get.

Doktor Zymm

It’s probably for the best that I’m too old for the current heroin epidemic, and was too young for the last one.

JerBear50

Too old? You can do anything you set your mind too.

Doktor Zymm

I do shit now like wake up early and go to the gym before work, how am I going to meet edgy youths who want to sell me on a self-destructive dream?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I think your lack of herion addiction is on you from what I have just heard.

JerBear50

Get on 80/94 and drive until you hit exits for Hammond or Gary. I’m sure you’ll find your way from there.

JerBear50

****Please don’t actually do this. There’s a reason I consider living in Florida such a drastic improvement in my life.

Unsurprised

Wait. What?

Doktor Zymm

No worries, not actually considering it. Also, damn, Florida?

JerBear50

For all the “lolz Florida sucks” stories you see, it’s actually a really, really beautiful state

Doktor Zymm

I have a handful of fond childhood vacation memories, but my aversion to high humidity has limited my visits. I do want to explore Miami, mostly because I love Cuban-American food.

JerBear50

I’ve actually only driven through Miami to get down to the keys, but Cuban food is fucking great. I live just north of Tampa so we’ve got really good stuff around here. Unbelievable Cuban bakeries in Tampa.

JerBear50

At least it is if you love nature and the beach, and can’t stand cold weather. I spend most of my time off in a park or on the Gulf, so yeah, it works for me. You couldn’t give me enough to get me to move back up that way.

Doktor Zymm

I’m good with hot weather, but desert type hot. I’ve been in the Middle East with 100+ F, <10% humidity and been fine, wet hot is my nemesis.

JerBear50

Yeah, the summers are rough. The part that bothers me the most is that for the whole summer, it doesn’t cool off at night. Chicago got hot but cooled off in the evening. Down here, it’s still 85 w/ 90% humidity at 3 AM.

If you like nature though, it’s hard to beat. G/f and I went up to a state park in Micanopy on Sunday. Saw wild horses running free, a couple deer, momma gator with babies, cottonmouths, birds everywhere. That on top of the beaches keeps me happy.

Doktor Zymm

I have memories of Baltimore, being at a show and being overheated as all hell, walking outside, expecting the outdoors to cool me off, and no, just as bad. I suspect that’s a big part of my humidity aversion. And not really any nature in Ballmer. If you head East, big fan of the barrier islands though.

JerBear50

Yeah, Florida is probably not a great choice for you then, at least not in the summer. November through March or April is fine.

Doktor Zymm

I understand the Mint Julep a lot better when I consider that the alternative was being sober in a Southern Summer

theeWeeBabySeamus

Is there ever a BAD time for smack?

Unsurprised

Smack. Smack. Sugar smack. Give me a smack and I’ll smack you back.

Doktor Zymm

I would really make a much better coke addict, but I do love the music/art/writing that comes from heroin.

theeWeeBabySeamus

If that’s the case, just go with weed and Red Bull.

Fair warning…I might just post this entire album tonight. One of my all time favs.
Plus I’m trying to get back in WCS’s good graces.

I have to speak at a conference tomorrow and I still. haven’t. started.

It’s going to be a long night and long morning.

Senor Weaselo

So I saw the band lineup for my undergrad’s annual spring–what’s the word I’m looking for?–debauchery. I don’t know what’s more telling about my coolness or lack thereof, that I’ve only heard of one of the bands playing, or that the lone band I’ve heard of is wizard rock band Harry and the Potters.

Unsurprised

Words fail me at describing my elation at seeing Texas get goatfucked by a half court buzzer beater.

Because I’m from New Mexico and me no learn words no good.

Moonbatting Average

Fellow Nuevo Mexicano here (undergrad), and Texas alum (grad). Not sure what to feel

Moonbatting Average

In other news, the B1G might have been a tad overrated

Doktor Zymm

Saw this band once, then stopped travelling the the UK. Not the best sound quality, but this is the good modern punk.

I like people who use semicolons while drunk!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I hereby respectfully forego the “colon while drunk” joke, which should rightfully be inserted here (giggity).

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am all for using correct punctuation while drunk. But I think a comma would technically be correct there though because “Sorry” in and of itself is not a complete sentence and a semicolon is used to split two related, but complete sentences

Doktor Zymm

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct!\http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w186/vaskidmark/Youaretechnicallycorrect.jpg

I forgot Wally Szerbiak looks like is a Vulcan.

I should figure out time travel for the purposes of seeing lots of crazy bands in their prime. Like in that Robert Rankin book, “Sex, Drugs and Sausage Rolls”

I did see Dino Sex of the Murder Junkies stick some drum sticks up his ass after a set at Reggies a few years ago. I was there with Pats fan, and despite not knowing much about the band, the fact that the drummer was naked the whole time clued him in that some shit might go down, so he strategically went out for a cigarette and missed the ass stuff.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Really wish I’d saved that Archer gif for this comment.

Senor Weaselo

Can I borrow it and challenge Paganini to violin duels? …No, I’m absolutely crazy? …Damn it, why does everyone say that?

That’s funny. I’m not bald, but I do keep my hair very short.
A few years ago I had a friend, who is black, tell me I looked like a white supremacist.
I think he was (mostly) joking, and I laughed it off, but it really did kinda hurt my feelings.
Then I figured fuck it.

Eh, most skinheads aren’t racist. But these dudes have an awesome sense of humor. Also worth looking up Monkish. I’m a fan of the song “Please don’t piss in my Microwave”
