Aeronaut said...: By the way, I was talking about the Iron Bowl moving to Friday thing.

I don't know what's the motion of the moment in the house. Hopefully not vasectomies, because I'd not get excited about it getting a day closer.; 3:13 PM
Prowler said...: Thanks for the Facebook add, by the way, Mon.; 3:15 PM
digger4au said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 3:15 PM
FSJ said...: Harrison...She graduated in 88 I think

I also dated a girl from Glencoe that is a little closer to your age...but she would have still been a few years ahead of you.; 3:15 PM

1)to be completely enamored with someone/something.
2) the flighty exciting feeling you get when you think about/see the object of your affection.
3) romantically excited (i.e.: aroused)
4) the ever increasing acceleration of heartbeat and body temperature as a result of being engulfed amidst the exhilaration and joy of being/having a romantic entity in someone's life.; 3:16 PM
Prowler said...: LOL. That sounds like a painful superpower, Digger!; 3:16 PM
Jet said...: I move that the phrase " ... like shooting glass through your weenie ..." be stricken permanently from HABOTN.

Can I get a second?; 3:16 PM
Monica said...: Thanks for the Facebook request to add, Mr.Prowler. :-)

Ummm Digger...OUCH; 3:17 PM
digger4au said...: Unfortunately been there done that; 3:17 PM
Monica said...: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Jet; 3:17 PM
digger4au said...: Mon
Need to send that to the Disney
Studios
They were all wrong; 3:17 PM
Prowler said...: I thought twitterpated was what happened when you rapidly and excessively post to Twitter...; 3:17 PM
Monica said...: SNORT @ "painful superpower"

I had to read that a couple of times.; 3:18 PM
Monica said...: I guess it has all sorts of meanings. There's room under the tent for us all.; 3:18 PM
Monica said...: Wow we're having some FIERCE loooooong rolling thunder here!! We NEVER get that kind of Alabama thunder up here.; 3:20 PM
Prowler said...: and the thunder rolls...; 3:21 PM
Jet said...: Don't know, Monica.

Mrs. Jet says I can't go camping with some of y'all. Maybe, most of y'all.

OK, I can't go camping with any of you.

That kinda kills the big tent for me.; 3:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: dang, i didn't even realize it was raining here.
Mon- now that you've explained it, I'm starting to feel a twinge of twitterpation.; 3:23 PM
Harrison said...: no camping for me too much of a bear risk.; 3:23 PM
digger4au said...: We have a strong wind and storms on the wasy. Under Tornado watch.; 3:24 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Why do tents when there are nice hotels?; 3:24 PM
FSJ said...: I agree...not much on pitching tents.; 3:25 PM
Prowler said...: I hate when I'm at home and I forget it's fireworks night at the Buscuits game. I always think we're under attack until I realize what all the loud booms are.

Just something random I thought I'd share...; 3:25 PM
FSJ said...: I retract my previous post.; 3:28 PM
digger4au said...: Your highness uh lowness uh Jetness
The weenie has left the building; 3:28 PM
Anonymous said...: From the Biggest Homer Site on the Internet (Capstone Report) that not so surprisingly serves the Infidel Nation, comes an article entitled "Auburn Fans Worried about Chizik".

The article claims that Auburn Fans are worried that Chizik is so detail oriented that he gets lost in the details.

The same article clams that $aban is the greatest CFB coach and is great because of his attention to detail.

It is easy to hate those that are self-induced with arrogance and delusion.

You'll have to cut and paste the link

FSJ said...: In fairness Hoopie..

Have you read any of Stump Thrower's work?

LOL....; 3:40 PM
mytommyd said...: Prowler, just did a hs reunion in downtown Mungumpery, and as we rushed out to see what all the bangs were about (which I guess was because we all felt much more safe OUTSIDE where the bangs were) one of the folks that still lives there kept saying , don't worry no one's shooting, it's fireworks from the game. Boy Montgomery's changed.; 3:40 PM
Monica said...: Wow - who knew so much material could come from my tent comment...; 3:42 PM
Harrison said...: tommy- people still shoot each other in the gump. I think people's palates are refined enough now to distinguish gunfire from fireworks; 3:42 PM
mytommyd said...: My only worry about this coaching staff is that don't stay around long enough to see the impact and influence of their coaching.; 3:44 PM
Prowler said...: Ever since 9/11 I've heard that Montgomery is a terrorist target risk because of the 2 bases we have here and the purpose that they serve. I also live very close to one of them, so a loud booming noise catches my attention everytime.; 3:45 PM
Monica said...: I don't read things Capstone and other schools blogs. Not that there's anything wrong with that, Faker.; 3:45 PM
Monica said...: I wonder if the Seastrunk family has arrived on campus...; 3:49 PM
Jet said...: Prowler ...

I think that reason isn't as viable ... but may be again ... when we were worried about the Soviets ... Montgomery was considered a target because of the computer centers at the bases.

We may be a target again as the Russians re-emerge.

But the real reason is because the Gump is the home of HABOTN.

Save HABOTN, Save the World.; 3:50 PM
Monica said...: You went a long way around for that one, Brother.; 3:54 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Bro Jet- my Heroes; 3:56 PM
Jet said...: Monica ...

I've traveled the world and the seven seas.; 3:57 PM
Prowler said...: Preach on, Brother Jet!

Can I get an Amen?!; 3:58 PM
FSJ said...: I picture Brother Jet being like Benny Hinn; 3:59 PM
FSJ said...: Spann is en fuego....

And he uses a Mac.; 4:01 PM
Unknown said...: 5) She was very happy after she got her twitterpatted.; 4:04 PM
mytommyd said...: Is it possible to twitterpate someone else, or does one only get twitterpated?; 4:05 PM
wtc said...: Jet-I have no where to go and all night to get there.; 4:06 PM
Prowler said...: Ok, *official* Pupper Hour time is here.; 4:11 PM
Jet said...: Brother Jet is what Jerry Clower would be like as a televangelist.

Hawww.; 4:13 PM
FSJ said...: Tornado Warning for Northern Etowah County.

Spann is in a lather..; 4:14 PM
Jet said...: Rich Thomas acts like a spoiled little girl because James Spann is getting all the fun.; 4:17 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: PUPPET HOUR?

Where are our liaisons?; 4:18 PM
Harrison said...: fsj- i was at my mom's house in Gadsden home from Auburn in 2000 when a tornado hit our neighborhood. It went on to really mess up Coates Bend and out that way.; 4:19 PM
Prowler said...: I think Dan Atkinson should slap Rich Thomas.; 4:19 PM
Harrison said...: everyobody's all serious JayG. Something about tornadoes and James Spann.; 4:19 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Tornadoes. Bad.; 4:20 PM
Jet said...: Prowler ...

Not sure if Dan knows where he is. He was warning people to take cover from Hurricane Camille the other day.; 4:21 PM
Quitstina said...: Dan Atkinson cracks me up when they go wall to wall coverage. You can tell he's thinking this is ridiculous and what happened to my weather channel gig?; 4:21 PM
Harrison said...: agreed. which is scarier. Tornado or man-eating bears?; 4:21 PM
Monica said...: where is mr spann?; 4:21 PM
mytommyd said...: what's with the piece of stuff on top of James Spann's head?; 4:21 PM
Jet said...: Kristina ...

I think he's wondering if he took his Flomax.; 4:22 PM
Harrison said...: He's an anti-hare krishna; 4:23 PM
FSJ said...: Harrison..I remember that one..

There was a good bit of damage out that way..; 4:23 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Man-eating bears are more fearsome in my world.

I saw a few F2s up close and personal in Oklahoma. I wasn't terrified.; 4:24 PM
FSJ said...: James Spann should be on abc3340.com in case anybody wants to see the fun.

A guy in Huntsville (Dan Satterfield) is almost as much fun.; 4:24 PM
Harrison said...: yeah, i rode out there with a friend the next day. Cars wrapped around trees and stuff. It was unbelievable; 4:25 PM
Jet said...: Having a gun pointed at you -- intentionally or not -- is scary.; 4:25 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'm going to piece together a video. I'm sure there is some interesting stuff in Da Vault.; 4:25 PM
FSJ said...: If you are in Albertville or Boaz...duck; 4:25 PM
Harrison said...: same here Jay. I saw that one tornado in Gadsden, not terrified.
Do not like bears at all, they eat people; 4:25 PM
Jet said...: Hyenas. Scary.

Left "The Lion King" because of them.; 4:26 PM
Harrison said...: how can hyenas be scary. they just laugh and laugh; 4:27 PM
Quitstina said...: You know Rich is all ticked when Dan is in the studio during bad weather. And Dan is like how am I supposed to keep talking about the same thing for 20 minutes straight?

He is definietly old school weatherman...give the forecast...say good night. He can't handle the pressure.; 4:27 PM
Jet said...: Rich Thomas = Kodi Burns dropping back to pass

Dan Atkinson = Chris Todd throwing deep

Either way, it's a disaster.; 4:29 PM
Jet said...: It's an evil laugh, Harrison.

They are evil, menacing creates dedicated to the destruction of society as we know it.

And they scare the poop out of me.; 4:30 PM
Prowler said...: I think I'm going to go be a meteorologist...it's probably the only job you can be wrong 90% of the time and not get fired.

Speaking of weathermen...anyone ever seen the clip of the guy that is screaming and dancing around on the air because of a roach??; 4:30 PM
Harrison said...: you know who would be an awesome waetherman? The Ultimate Warrior; 4:30 PM
Quitstina said...: Having also spent time in Oklahoma, I will vote bears as well.; 4:31 PM
FSJ said...: Dan Satterfield in Huntsville is worse than Spann..

He issues and cancels his own tornado warnings..

Doesn't wait on the NWS.; 4:33 PM
Unknown said...: I remember the April 3, 1974 tornadoes very vividly.

Mom was walking me and my brother to my car. I said, mom, look, tornadoes. Mom replies shut up and get in the car. I reply, no, mah, really, there are two tornadoes behind the house.

Actually they were very far off, but I could see them vividly. We got in the car and attempted to drive to my grandparents, only to get stopped by broken power lines.; 4:35 PM

michael said...: So they told me there would be hail. They told me there would be tornadoes. I said f it. We packed the kids in the van and drove right through it to Memphis anyway. Totally got pelted with some golf ball sized hail. That was crazy. But we made it, and now I am hoping my house back in bama has survived.

And Prowler, glad you feel me on the pee issue. Not literally, wait, ah never mind.; 4:57 PM
Anonymous said...: michael, glad you arrived safely. Enjoy your Easter weekend.; 4:59 PM
