I'm scheduled to cover the Edgewood-Marengo AISA Class 2A baseball championship game today. I'm guessing that grudge match is still on, so I'll put my life on the line today and cover the event.
TIGER PROWL: The Advertiser's video expert, Shannon Heupel, was on the scene yesterday when Auburn's caravan rolled into Prattville.
The auto-play videos now have an annoying advertisement that prevents me from embedding them without said advertisement blaring into your eardrums.
I'll spare you that annoyance: CURTIS LUPER PLAYING NARRATOR
YEAH! SUBSTANCE!
ReplyDeleteAir Supply helped me with the ladies circa 1984. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteDadgummit ...
ReplyDeleteI wanted to post "H1NI" as the first post.
I learned how to express myself because of those two talented Aussies. Don't hate. It's unbecoming.
ReplyDeleteAll the more reason for them to be enshrined in perpetuity if any one plays the "Lost in Love" card.
ReplyDeleteGo PENS!!!

ReplyDeleteJay G ...
ReplyDeleteIf a certain document is made available to me today, where would you be to collect such a document?
It's gotta stay, THT.
ReplyDeleteI think it's sweet. Brings a tear to my eye.
I think Air Supply can be very sensuous, don't you?
ReplyDeleteNo, Air Supply is sensual. People are sensuous.
Right. Sensual. That's what I meant. My name's JGT.
I am absolutely floored that AHSAA has cancelled sporting events because of the flu! ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteif this was called the kitten flu no one would be afraid.
Double Secret Probation
ReplyDeleteProbably in a town called "Elmore," which I didn't know existed until 8:54 a.m. I thought that was a county.
ReplyDeleteWe're also having our annual newsroom awards today at 4. I'm sure I won't win one because, as you know, blogs don't matter.
Maybe we can make an exchange after that?
You do too matter JGT!
ReplyDeleteWould it be safe to take it to the front desk and leave it there, and advise you of such?
ReplyDeleteThere allegedly is an H1N1 outbreak in Huntsville. That made me find the AHSAA decision a little less ignorant.
ReplyDeleteHas Michael checked in today?
JGT, I see a day in the future that blogs are all there is. You're just ahead of the storm.
ReplyDeleteJet: NO.
ReplyDeleteThe front-desk people don't know who I am. I'm not even 100% sure we have front-desk people anymore.
Let's make an exchange in E. Vaughngomery somewhere.
Of course, in a year, when the Advertiser is an online only product, I guess blogs will matter since Auburn athletics will be the only thing published based on current activities at Ol' Grandma.
ReplyDeleteWe will confab later.
ReplyDeleteehyou: I think you're right and that's why I was helping building this place three years ago when certain people said I was wasting my time.
ReplyDeleteThey couldn't have been more wrong.
I'm a little snippy today.
ReplyDeleteHasn't diluted my love for Air Supply, though.
"Just As I Am," the Aussie duo's hit from late summer 1985, was the inspiration behind my first mash session.
ReplyDeleteTMI? I think not.
helping??? build this place.
ReplyDeleteJGT - YOU built this city of rock'n & roll'n HABOTN
Good thing you're not All Out of Love.
ReplyDeleteKnee deep in the hoopla!
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad it wasn't "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All"
ReplyDeleteJet - with Professor Roy Bittan on ivories
ReplyDeleteI hereby plead guilty to having seen -- or at least being present -- for the "We Built This City at Four in the Morning" Tour of Starship and Night Ranger.
ReplyDeletePlease have mercy on me.
My new second-favorite website: Texts From Last NightIt has a Puppet Hour vibe.
ReplyDeleteJet - you talking about highschool past-times?
ReplyDeleteif that song sounds a bit Meatloafy, it was written by the guy that wrote songs for Meatloaf, but ML didn't want it so Air Supply got it.
ReplyDeleteThere are parts of high school I don't remember ... namely 11th and 12th grades.
ReplyDeleteJGT - that's excellent.
ReplyDelete(859): Did you see 7 ppl got hurt at Talladaga?
(502): Did they get their mullets stuck in an engine?
Gold, Jerry, gold.
If particular goods and services are promoted by an entity that I support, I am then a consumer of said goods and services.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sayin'.
TFLN gets a little racy at times, but some of them are quite awesome.
ReplyDeletetfln is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteJay GT- Michael confirmed the H1N1 case in Madison/Huntsville last night. I believe he has since gone underground...or maybe to his sheep ranch in Idaho.
ReplyDeletethis is just the flu. no worse than any other flu..yet. it could get worse. we are way over-hyping this thing so far
ReplyDeleteI'm a nerd, I prefer trln
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay, you've given me another reason to check into Internet Rehab, but I'll still get my fix of the HABOTN, rules be damned.
ReplyDeletei used to stock groceries at a food world in prattvegas at night. the fm station they played over the intercom would play about one air supply song an hour. it was a perfect hell.
ReplyDeletewell, crap. I spoke too soon. I may actually be a little busy today. Later, hotties.
ReplyDeleteThat ad reminded me of the "Essence of Wetness" commercial from Zoolander.
ReplyDeleteNew Year's Eve 1984: My soon-to-be-bride was living in a duplex in Auburn. The opposite side was occupied by a very nice lesbian couple. We were planning a nice party for our friends to celebrate the dawning of 1985. My big sis was in town, and we had spent all day decorating, preparing finger food, icing down the beer/wine, etc.
ReplyDeleteUnbeknownst to us, the nice lesbian couple next door were in the process of breaking up. At about 6pm, just before our guests began to arrive, one of them stormed out. This apparently sent her no-longer-significant-other into a state of severe depression, which she decided to share with us by turning up her stereo (which was against the other side of the shared wall of the duplex) and playing "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All".
Over and over and over and over and over.
After 2 hours of this, our party gave up. We ended up ringing in the New Year at Harry's.
I've absolutely despised Air Supply ever since.
But Fearless, you still have a warm spot for Harold's El Sophisticado, right?
ReplyDeleteI've said it before...
ReplyDeleteHarry's was the last stop on my bachelor party pub crawl. It will always be held dear.
Ehyou ...
ReplyDeleteI don't know many who went to Harry's, but I know a lot of who ended up there.
FYI...
ReplyDeleteBachelor parties are not a good idea the night before wedding.
Oh, before I buckle down to work...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that great video with us, JGT, and for sparing us from the loud commercial.
After watching the video, I'm super excited for the future of Auburn football...as long as we're not recruiting their punter.
Please pass along my appreciation to Shannon Heupel.
How about ones that start at 9 a.m. before the 1 p.m. wedding? Is that OK?
ReplyDeleteyes, bachelor parties have to be at least one week prior to weddings. Preferrably 2 weeks
ReplyDeleteJet, that's just called golf before the wedding. I did.
ReplyDeleteDamn!!!
ReplyDeleteStill not August.. who put all these Months in the Year!!!
Oh yes, "that li'l ol' French place" was near and dear to my heart.
ReplyDeleteIt just wasn't the vibe we were looking for that night. Oh well.
And for the record, while Harry's ended up an OK place in which to celebrate New Year's Eve, I can also state for the record it was an absolutely dreadful place to spend Christmas Eve, as I had done in '82.
Jet...
ReplyDeleteYour scenario is acceptable. If you're still in the throes of drunkenness, you're fine. It's the post-drunk shakes, sweats, pukes, etc. that can break the deal.
Freep...
ReplyDeleteI love Harry's, but that just sounds depressing.
Great work Jay et al ... the game plan is sound
ReplyDeleteThere was an article in the USA today about les miles using twitter before games, at halftime, and after games. It's definitely a new age.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I can no longer get on habotn at work so u can't post the link using my iPhone.
It's sad when the lesbians can't get along.
ReplyDeleteI hat to break up all this love talk what with lesbians and all.
ReplyDeleteBut desparation has set in.
The video is not working well for me. It sounds like the coach is losing every 3 and 4 word. Is this a local disaster or are others having a problem?
Conspiracy: The US scientists were experimenting with the genetics of pigs at their US owned pig research farm in the same place in Mexico that the first
ReplyDeleteSwine flue was confirmed..the over coverage from the media is a cover up of a mistake made that the government is now hiding...something is fishy
Did they ban the HABOTN at work, Kathy?
ReplyDeletekramer must have been right. pigman does exist.
ReplyDeleteDigger -- video works well for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks JGT must be a local problem.
ReplyDeleteBear Flu would be scary.
ReplyDeleteDigger - the video was very choppy for me, too.
ReplyDeleteRight Mon- The world would be on lock down if this was called bear flu
ReplyDeleteJay they banned the use of any "social networking" sites. When I try to go to the HABOTN website, I get a company warning. I would hate to arouse our Security! With the economic instability, I don't want to get on any "list", so I'll just use my phone. It's a little slower and definitely harder to type, but worth the inconvenience. I would hate not being able to keep up with the latest hottie news during the day.
ReplyDeleteAn 80-year old man drove his brand new Corvette out of the dealership.
ReplyDeleteTaking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, then 100, 110, 120.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the highway patrol behind him,
blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
Pulling in behind him, the Trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a State Trooper and I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, Sir," replied the Trooper.
Guess what I have?
ReplyDeleteNo, not an STD.
I have the resolution!
WOOO HOOOO
ReplyDeleteFearless, the breaking up lesbians story was good stuff. One suggestion, when you tell a story about lesbians, you should always mention how hot each of the lesbians were, and whether you saw them kiss.
ReplyDeleteI'm in town, Jetarky!
ReplyDeletegood one, mon.
ReplyDeleteShark flu? Lion flu? Eltoro flu?
ReplyDeleteDid somebody mention chicks kissing?
ReplyDeleteThat's one way to get Faker's attention.
ReplyDeletevery close to mexico, here. h1n1 is in phoenix now. i'm rereading albert camus' "the plague" so that i'll know how to panic.
ReplyDeleteJay G has been emailed a scanned copy of the resolution.
ReplyDeleteI will get him the official copy later today. I will allow him to make the official unveiling.
RE: swine flu
ReplyDeleteI guess people who have a child in school or a loved one working in the hospitals, etc. you take these things a little more seriously.
Unveiling in progress ...
ReplyDeleteSean- Man U is probably just one goal away from advancing. The biggest thing from yesterday's match is that we didn't surrender an away goal. I don't feel like Man U is home free, but it's in our favor for sure.
ReplyDeleteEddie, you speak the truth. I consider it a moral victory for the Gunners, they've been beat up and while it's a long shot, they can still do it.
ReplyDeletegannett's video page is not linux-friendly I suppose.
ReplyDeleteAll I get is a blank white page.
Unveiling is up on main page
ReplyDeleteThe Resolution is up!
