The Daily Thread: Saturday

Hey everyone. This is the final day of my Gannett-mandated furlough.

This is good news. Only one more day sans HABOTN content.

I'll be live blogging the AU-UGA women's game on Sunday afternoon. We'll just pick it up from there and get back to speed. Thanks for sticking with me through what actually has been a semi-difficult time.

Fight the power!

Miller said...: Ok... date night tonight... got behind a little... let me catch up...

FSJ's 9:44 post should make front page...spot on...

Blake Griffin = "I am Batman"

Fightin' Lebo's - If they make FT's it's a different ballgame. Also, if they had post presence and didn't get doubled up on the boards the same would be true.; 10:19 PM
Quitstina said...: Actually I think Peter started this....and why would Mihleac be afriad of me?; 10:20 PM
Monica said...: I love watching OL drills at combines on the NFL channel.; 10:20 PM
Jet said...: Blake Griffin = "I am Bartman."; 10:21 PM
Miller said...: we had dinner with the Tuberville's tonight...; 10:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Yo Monica, Good evening!; 10:22 PM
Jet said...: Shouldn't OL drills at the Combine be on Cinemax?; 10:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I dont have NFL channel but, and I'm not ashamed to admit, I did enjoy watching Josey Wales kill a bunch of yankees tonight.; 10:25 PM
Monica said...: Hey there, THT. :-); 10:26 PM
AUfan said...: Charter will not allow me to pay for the NFL Network. Always looking out for the customer, those guys.; 10:27 PM
FSJ said...: I watched the movie 21 last night...

That dude was scary smart...

Reminded me of some folks on here.; 10:28 PM
Miller said...: I'd like to request Tom Hanks to play me in the HABOTN movie...; 10:28 PM
Monica said...: I want Rick Tuten of the Broncos to spot me through bench pressing!!!

ha@jet; 10:28 PM
Miller said...: thanks FSJ...; 10:28 PM
Jet said...: All the people I wanted to play me are dead.; 10:29 PM
FSJ said...: Jack Lemon?; 10:29 PM
Quitstina said...: Yeah, I bet that dude made at least a 31 on his ACT, faker.; 10:30 PM
Monica said...: That's actually a darn good call, Faker.; 10:31 PM
Jet said...: Belushi
Farley
Kinison; 10:31 PM
FSJ said...: Farley and Swayze had one of the funniest SNL skits ever...; 10:32 PM
FSJ said...: I also bet he was in the top 2 or 3% of his class.; 10:33 PM
Jet said...: my favorite farley is the "Little Women" skit with David Spade, David Hyde Pierce, and I can't remember the woman.; 10:33 PM
AUfan said...: Kinison and Rodney Dangerfield in Back To School were classic.; 10:34 PM
FSJ said...: depressed..

The classroom scene in that movie between those two was a trip..; 10:35 PM
Jet said...: If he were 40 years younger and alive,

Dangerfield = Jet; 10:35 PM
Monica said...: Where did Jamar Meredith play?; 10:35 PM
Monica said...: You're not going intellectual enough in your picks, Jet.; 10:37 PM
Jet said...: I'm decidedly Psuedo-Intellectual.; 10:38 PM
Monica said...: false humility is only false; 10:39 PM
FSJ said...: Trust me..

Don't be a faker.; 10:41 PM
Jet said...: New Id:

Fake Jet Letterman; 10:41 PM
michael said...: 400! Attaway hotties! Sorry I missed it. Husbandly duties and such.

It was Frankenbummer's vision a long time ago, but we all put our souls into it!

And Jet, the girl was Janeane Garafalo.; 10:42 PM
Jet said...: Whatever shall we do?; 10:42 PM
AUfan said...: Monica, no NFL Network at the depressed household, any update on the AU guys? I've seen nothing other than Green having to drop out.; 10:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Is anyone else craving NC barbecue as bad as I am right now? Eastern or Western (Lexington), I just don't care. I want me some 'cue!!!
with cole slaw and puppies, of course.; 10:44 PM
Jet said...: Good call ...

I'd love me some good cue ... Did go to Sprayberry's on Wednesday.

But like hatin' Bama and lovin' grits, I'm always up for some good cue.; 10:45 PM
michael said...: " 'Oh whatever shall we do,' get me outta here you stupid wh...!"; 10:45 PM
FSJ said...: TarHeel...

I was craving BBQ earlier today..

Texas BBQ tho...

Louie Mueller's to be exact.; 10:46 PM
Monica said...: ahhh it's Jamon Meredith, South Carolina - he's tough; 10:46 PM
Quitstina said...: Mmmmm...my sister lives in Lexington....dangit now I'm hungry for some BBQ.; 10:46 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: All the 'cue folks are God-fearin' folks. Closed on Sundays :-(; 10:47 PM
michael said...: I am always cravin Memphis BBQ. The Alabama stuff just don't do it for me.; 10:48 PM
Monica said...: Faker knows. Don't be a faker.

Depressed - they're just on OL guys right now and no Auburn news.

I've been wanting some BBQ since Greg brought home ONE rib from a cook out they had a work. mmmm; 10:48 PM
FSJ said...: As far as NC BBQ goes...

I'm more of a Western NC BBQ fan..; 10:48 PM
Jet said...: Looks like a Monday visit to Sam's here in the Gump ... combo plate, outside meat.; 10:49 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ONE rib? He wasn't planning on making another woman was he?; 10:49 PM
Quitstina said...: One rib? What a tease...; 10:49 PM
FSJ said...: Yep..

Miss Myra's is in my future on Monday.; 10:50 PM
michael said...: One rib? Was that some sort of Adam and Eve metaphor? Was it his way of trash talking?; 10:50 PM
Monica said...: Hey Depressed NFL has a good combine site with updates and video - http://www.nfl.com/combine

I can't believe we have more snow. Enough already.; 10:51 PM
FSJ said...: Would it have taken that much effort to eat the one remaining rib instead of bringing it home?

I'll send u some Archibald's ribs Monica.; 10:51 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: FSJ- I prefer the western, but I don't turn my nose up to the eastern. I may have to send someone on a road trip Monday to bring some home. It's a cryin shame we have to go 30-35 miles west or east to get us good 'cue. But it's worth it.; 10:51 PM
michael said...: Wow THT.. we made the same joke. Our corniness is right about equal. I will keep trying to take the crown, though.; 10:52 PM
Monica said...: LMAO @ the one rib comments

y'all crack me up - Greg really liked the "trash talking"

they sent them home with a left overs so everyone left with a doggie box that had ONE rib one chicken breast and one baked potato; 10:53 PM
FSJ said...: Heck I may just go to Northport on Monday to Archibald's...

I have a three hour conference call scheduled Monday morning.

I can take it from the car..

Sounds like a plan.; 10:54 PM
Jet said...: Michael and Tar Heel are the same person ...

Finkel is Einhorn
Einhorn is Finkel; 10:54 PM
Quitstina said...: OK, that makes a little more sense. I sort of pictured him walking in with a tin foil wrapped rib.; 10:54 PM
AUfan said...: Monica- thank you for the info. I will check out the NFL site.; 10:54 PM
Monica said...: Faker = I'd pay for overnight shipping! mmmmmm; 10:54 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: highest compliment I've received; 10:55 PM
FSJ said...: Archibald's is what Dreamland wishes they were...; 10:55 PM
Monica said...: LOL Kristina - He knows that would be taken his life into his own hands.

3 hour conf call? Just shoot me now.; 10:55 PM
Monica said...: taken = taking; 10:56 PM
FSJ said...: These particular calls are quite entertaining...

It could be much much worse..; 10:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wow, for such a slow start this morning we've come a long way.; 10:57 PM
FSJ said...: All it took was for the night owls to arrive.; 10:58 PM
Quitstina said...: Remember when you were a teenager and could go 3 hours talking on the phone with no problem?; 10:59 PM
FSJ said...: at 16 I was just getting warmed up at 3 hours.; 11:00 PM
michael said...: Ummmm I never talked on the phone more than 5 minutes when I was a teenager. But then again, I wasn't a chick. Or FSJ.; 11:01 PM
Monica said...: "He's durable, he's trainable he's gold (something) he's just not here" NFL Network dude on Andre Smith.

What is entertaining about your conf calls? Maybe you should record them and share 'em with us!; 11:01 PM
michael said...: What's funny is I wrote "or FSJ" before I saw FSJ's comment. Do I know ya or do I know ya?; 11:02 PM
FSJ said...: michael...

I was just practicing all my lines back then..

Sketchy I know..; 11:02 PM
Monica said...: I was never a long phone talker either. Now, I could "ride around" for 6 or 7 days straight. I'm not sure if "riding around" was just a Brewton thing.; 11:02 PM
Quitstina said...: That's cause you're an engineer Michael.; 11:02 PM
FSJ said...: Monica..

I have often thought about recording these conference calls.....

So much happens I need to be able to go back and hear them anyway.; 11:03 PM
michael said...: We got 500 tonight easy.

Is it coincidence that FSJ and crrisstina often post at the same time these days, but rarely post separately?; 11:03 PM
Jet said...: I was a riding around guy in the Gump, Monica.

Not a phone guy at all.; 11:03 PM
Quitstina said...: Crap! I spelled your name right....dangit.; 11:03 PM
FSJ said...: michael...

thats because we are both Jay; 11:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ok, found the BBQ Barn near where I'll be working Monday. Sounds sketchy, but beggars can't be choosy.; 11:04 PM
Quitstina said...: dangit, faker, you win.; 11:04 PM
michael said...: Naw, I didn't like talking on the phone because there was no one worth talking on the phone to that didn't live in the same town as me. The only phone calls I took were to figure out where we were going to talk in person, or maybe when a grandparent called to wish me happy birthday. Neither lasted more than 5 minutes (if I was lucky).; 11:05 PM
michael said...: Is there some kind of mental disorder where you think everyone on HABOTN is Jay except for yourself? Because I may be getting that.; 11:06 PM
Monica said...: Wow - riding around in the Gump would take LOTS of gas and time to make the loop. It took about 15 minutes to make the ENTIRE Brewton loop. You could take in East Brewton if you felt like living on the edge.; 11:07 PM
Jet said...: I am not Jay.

I am not Michael.

But I could be Monica. Or Hoopie.; 11:07 PM
FSJ said...: I'm Hoopie and Cory too..; 11:08 PM
Quitstina said...: You rode up and down Atlanta Highway in the Gump...; 11:08 PM
Monica said...: THT - Do you work in different locations every day?; 11:08 PM
Jet said...: In the old days ... did the Carter Hill Road loop ... Burger King near old Saint James campus to Hardee's down from Jeff Davis ... frequently stopping by the Murder Market (Majik Market).; 11:09 PM
Monica said...: Coopie.

Hory.

hmmm; 11:09 PM
michael said...: So which combo of hotties would you be the most surprised to find out they are one person? Jet and Hoopie has to be pretty high up there. Sensible and Cobra Commander probably wins, though.; 11:09 PM
FSJ said...: I think Hoopie is a family member of Tuberville.; 11:10 PM
Monica said...: Michael and Depressed
Michael and BigCat; 11:10 PM
Monica said...: Jet and Faker; 11:11 PM
Quitstina said...: Then hoopie and SteveFC must be related too.; 11:11 PM
Jet said...: I have family in Gadsden, but I ain't Faker ... I ain't a Bammer and would never pretend to be one.

There's some things this hog won't do.; 11:12 PM
Monica said...: LOL Faker; 11:12 PM
Quitstina said...: That was the point Jet. Who would most surprise you if they were the same person...; 11:12 PM
Monica said...: Exactly, Jet. That's why it would be most surprising. Please pay attention to the teacher's assignment!; 11:13 PM
FSJ said...: kristina and shesaid....; 11:13 PM
Jet said...: I'm just trying to put an end to negative speculation, which makes me just like Hoopie.; 11:13 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Mon- yep
11 miles one way, 12 miles same way, 22 miles same way
10 miles another way
75 miles a different way
Thankfully, I have HABOTN access at most of them, but not where I'll be on Monday :-(; 11:15 PM
FSJ said...: Exactly Jet....

Can we please be negative about current posters...not past posters..; 11:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: THT and anyone with any sense; 11:16 PM
Jet said...: You're just a bunch of Internet fans.; 11:17 PM
Jet said...: THT and a diabetic.; 11:17 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: but what would really surprise me if THT and Dr. Habotn turned out to be the same person. They are like complete opposites.

No we're not.

Oh shut up.; 11:17 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jet - I think that's the biggest laugh I've ever experienced from HABOTN. I didn't roll on the floor, though. It would have disturbed Molly who is snuggled up next to me. (Get a dachschund, not a snuggie); 11:19 PM
Monica said...: internet fans who make declarative statements full of unrealistic expectorants

I'll be on the road Monday, THT so you don't have to worry about missing my pearls of wisdom.; 11:21 PM
michael said...: You mean fans of the internet? Because I do tend to root for the internet.; 11:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: expectorant- that's funny; I needed that stuff the whole month of January; 11:23 PM
FSJ said...: I'm more of an intranet fan myself.....; 11:23 PM
Monica said...: I love my Under Armor training tip of the day! This is the only time of the year that I really dig the NFL channel.; 11:23 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Mon- don't forget your GPS thingy!; 11:23 PM
Monica said...: i used to be for the internet, but recently i'm an intrawebs cheerleader; 11:24 PM
michael said...: I love the NFL network. They play a few games a year, and they also have the show, "America's Game," which I like. It makes me feel special having DirecTV and getting it for free.; 11:24 PM
Jet said...: I love a good expectorant ... and the decongestant seems to work well late at night on the HABOTN, and, well, my posts are much better after taking antihistimines, or meth.; 11:24 PM
Monica said...: I will NEVER travel without my GPS thingy! I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I even bought a nice little pink case for it. I think I will buy it a tiara.; 11:25 PM
Monica said...: and I named her Lola; 11:25 PM
michael said...: I could let you borrow my Queen of HABOTN tiara if you like, MonD.; 11:26 PM
Monica said...: no way, Michael, but thanks for the offer; 11:27 PM
michael said...: Good, because it has a lot of peanut butter on it, and I didn't want to have to clean it tonight before letting you borrow it.; 11:28 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Michael - did you see the new homecoming queen at George Mason University?; 11:28 PM
Monica said...: holy cow Cornelius Ingram is huge and fast; 11:28 PM
Monica said...: you know you would have handed it off peanut butter and all; 11:29 PM
Jet said...: I've always been a fan of Cornelius Ingram.; 11:29 PM
Monica said...: I have a feeling my 8:00 nap is going to cause me some sleeping problems...; 11:29 PM
Monica said...: You two could be twins.; 11:30 PM
michael said...: You're right Monica. And after I gave it to you I would say, "Ewww, gross Monica! You must have peanut butter on your hands! Please clean this before getting it back to me.; 11:30 PM
michael said...: "; 11:30 PM
Jet said...: I played tight end on my first football team.; 11:30 PM
Quitstina said...: I just call my GPS chicky baby, but I think she resents it as it unfairly objectifies her.; 11:30 PM
michael said...: THT, that George Mason thing is not revolutionary or anything. Screech Power won the Miss Bayside competition circa 1991, and he didn't even dress in drag.; 11:31 PM
michael said...: My GPS resents the fact I get peanut butter all over it.; 11:32 PM
Monica said...: peanut butter helps tiara's stay in place - i'm sure your girls know that...you just thought they were being messy

pfft...boys; 11:32 PM
Jet said...: Dadgummit, no Saved by the Bell.; 11:34 PM
Jet said...: Can we make 600 by midnight in the Gump?; 11:34 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: They Were Expendable just ended on TCM. I like movies with John Wayne and/or Donna Reed; 11:35 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: you think that would make JGT proud?; 11:35 PM
Monica said...: I think I'm going to roadtrip to Indy and hang out at the Combines tomorrow. Some of these young men could benefit from my wisdom. I can just sense that; 11:36 PM
Jet said...: Think of it like American Graffiti, it's our last night before we go off to serious, adult world.; 11:36 PM
Unknown said...: 24 Minutes until the return of the Tate. I am looking forward to a weeks worth of blog in one blog tomorrow. Oooh, I am excited:); 11:37 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: that would be about a 10 hr RT. Sounds like something Miss THT would do.; 11:38 PM
Monica said...: Where have you been Steve???; 11:40 PM
Jet said...: Sounds like Annie Savoy, Monica.; 11:40 PM
Jet said...: You think you could get Wes Byrum to breathe through his eyelids next year, Monica?; 11:41 PM
Monica said...: HAHAHAHAHAHA Jet

oh just HAHAHAHAHA; 11:41 PM
Quitstina said...: Maybe he should wear a garter too.; 11:41 PM
Monica said...: HUSH! - you have me snorting!; 11:41 PM
Jet said...: That's hot. No, really. That's hot.

Oh, roses go in the front, big boy.; 11:43 PM
Monica said...: The field work of the tight ends is good television.; 11:43 PM
FSJ said...: Jet reminds me of Mr. Belding off of Saved By the Bell...

kristina would be Jessie
monica would be Kelly
Michael would be Slater

All we lack now are Zack and Screech; 11:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: we got us a Rambo sighting on AMC; so cheesy; 11:44 PM
Jet said...: F. SJ; 11:44 PM
Quitstina said...: Nuke Byrum doesnt have the same ring to it tho...; 11:44 PM
Quitstina said...: Wait, was Jessie the one that ended up in Showgirls?; 11:44 PM
Jet said...: Shank Byrum; 11:44 PM
FSJ said...: Yeah..is that a problem?; 11:46 PM
Jet said...: Women get wooly.; 11:47 PM
ehyou said...: Hey, I happen to be watching that Rambo movie and enjoying it.; 11:47 PM
ehyou said...: It's nice when your wife actually watches one of your favorite movies with you that she has previously given no thought to and recognizes that it is great:

The Outlaw Josey Wales; 11:49 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ehyou, don't tell the others, but I am too.; 11:49 PM
Jet said...: ehyou ... my wife watched The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, and reached the same conclusion.; 11:49 PM
Quitstina said...: He must have called the guy a.....; 11:50 PM
Monica said...: the only good thing about Saved by the Bell was how hot Tiffani Amber Thiessen turned out to be

We already Screech; 11:50 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ehyou- I would love for Mrs THT to watch Josey Wales with me. But alas, she won't. However, she approves of the effect Josey has on yanks.; 11:51 PM
ehyou said...: I think 600 is a given.

I hope the powers that be recognize the love of the populous for what JGT brings to the table.; 11:51 PM
Jet said...: Anything that goes that far outta have a stewardess on it.; 11:53 PM
Quitstina said...: Sears sucks.; 11:53 PM
ehyou said...: I miss Service Merchandise; 11:53 PM
Monica said...: In the words of Annie, "The world is made for people who aren't cursed with self-awareness."; 11:54 PM
Jet said...: Candlesticks make a nice gift.

Let's get 2.; 11:54 PM
FSJ said...: Anybody ever been to Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro?

That's a weird place.; 11:55 PM
Monica said...: wow ehyou - that's old school; 11:55 PM
ehyou said...: Missing In Action is another one I can't pass up when it is on.; 11:55 PM
Monica said...: I've seen that place on television. Did you go Faker? If so, why?; 11:56 PM
Jet said...: I believe in the soul.; 11:56 PM
FSJ said...: I did go after it was featured on the Letterman show..

A gal I was dating at the time dragged me up there..

Very weird..; 11:57 PM
ehyou said...: You'd place your order and the merchandise would come out of the back on a conveyor belt. Very cool.; 11:57 PM
Jet said...: I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.; 11:57 PM
FSJ said...: I do too Jet; 11:58 PM
Jet said...: Open your presents Christmas morning and not Christmas Eve; 11:59 PM
Quitstina said...: I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.; 12:00 AM
Monica said...: but do you believe in good scotch?; 12:00 AM
ehyou said...: Agreed - alone.; 12:00 AM
Jet said...: Oh, you do make speeches.; 12:00 AM
ehyou said...: I prefer Irish whiskey to Scotch.; 12:01 AM
Jet said...: What are you looking at, Meat?; 12:02 AM
FSJ said...: cough...

Just once...

I think that Alabama fans and Auburn fans should treat each other with love and respect.; 12:03 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 3 DAYS!!!; 12:03 AM
Jet said...: Oh, blow it our your blowhole, LaLoser.; 12:03 AM
ehyou said...: FSJ - I must admit, you're alright man, but what fun would that be?; 12:05 AM
Jet said...: FSJ,

So now you're a philosophizer?; 12:06 AM
FSJ said...: I am a deep thinker..; 12:06 AM
ehyou said...: FSJ - I've often wondered: Are there any UA blogs as cool as this one?; 12:06 AM
FSJ said...: Nope..

Thats why I stayed here..

I found this place by accident to be honest.; 12:07 AM
michael said...: How's it goin, gang?; 12:08 AM
Jet said...: KDUATBOTN is the best they've got, and it ain't good.

It's the Knuckle Draggingest UAT Blog on the Net; 12:08 AM
Jet said...: 600; 12:08 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: curfews are badddddd; 12:08 AM
