Furlough, Pt. II: Day Three (Tuesday)

Hey everyone. It's Day Three of my latest unpaid furlough, which Gannett hopes will help offset its challenging financial situation. As a loyal employee, I blame outside problems -- chiefly predatory lenders -- as the reason behind my company's issues.

Suspension of disbelief? Perhaps.

Anyway, I am not able to blog. It's forbidden.

I have pre-loaded daily threads to pop up at 9 a.m. CDT so the conversations that make the HABOTN so delicious resume. Please don't be scared, angered or turned off my my parent company's difficulties. I'm very spendthrift.

Peace and love.

The main message from the Auburn coaching staff is we will fight you every day all the way. We WILL win some battles and you can bet the house it is not going to be easy for you.; 9:22 AM

While it's not a real holiday south of the border, who is going to turn down a chance to indulge in tacos and adult beverages?; 9:55 AM

Just like when he slams AU, he overstated the importance so take this with a grain of salt. The limos were a nice move and bothered a few Bammers, but only his neurotic callers really care that much.

Now if those callers would get a life, he would be out of business.; 9:56 AM

Anonymous said...: I've noticed that the national news has gotten on board coverage of Cinco de Mayo as a celebration for the people. That's great.....celebrate the neighboring country's independence day.

Cheap Beers or Margs at the local Mexican Bar are a good thing. Now if the press will list the bars with the best deals on alcohol..I'm all over that.; 10:01 AM

Seanzie said...: Absolutely...I'm still bitter about having to be at work on a day like today, just a few years ago, days like St. Patty's and Cinco de Mayo were bona fide all day events, now they're relegated to happy hour and responsible behavior.; 10:10 AM

LOL! He's a great representative for education alright!

I thought he had gone back some time later and got the paper from that diploma mill of a school, but him as a graduation speaker shows you how NOT valuable an Auburn education is.

Just when I thought the Barn couldn't look any stupider, they go out and do this.

What a freaking joke!

bo only overcame great odds to even make it to any college period, co-owns a bank, is a gourmet chef, has his own gourmet foods company, has a trophy that zero bama players have ever won, played in the pro-bow, won mvp of mlb all-star game, could hit the major league curve, run over boz and ronnie lott, and ran the fastest time ever at the nfl combine.

I personally would not use the word hot to describe her, but, to each his own.; 11:34 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Will, I agree on Samantha Brown. By the way, I saw her husband on one of her shows. He completely out-kicked his coverage. On a semi-related topic, some of you probably know who Padma Lakshmi is (one of the "Top Chef" hosts and former Bollywood actress). She is married to Salman Rushdie, author of "The Satanic Verses". I don't get it. Maybe he has nice calves.; 11:44 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Correction - apparently Padma and Salman Rushdie got divorced a while back. I guess I'm not up on my pop culture. Good grief - how long till football?; 11:50 AM
Will said...: AU1N04, that's the thing, I don't get it either. I am usually more of a Megan Fox, Marissa Miller kind of guy (but then again who isn't). She is hot in a "the kind of girl you should marry and in doing so, not piss off your parents" sort of way.

On the other end of the spectrum, I think Kat Von D is super hot too.; 11:52 AM

Anonymous said...: Thank you Mon.

My lunch break consisted of a woman who had walked around the office trying to get some excersize, before coming back inside, stopped in front of my window hiked up her sweater walked in place and looked at the window at her backside to see how it looked.

I spit out my soda since she could not see me. Why do people think office windows are mirrors?

I am still waiting for the really hot girl to do that....not happening.; 1:04 PM
Jet said...: GaTiger ...

It was really fun. The seniors and their kindergarten buddies paraded around the Quad to the cheers of the rest of the school. Only one senior didn't have his tassel on his cap -- guess who?

Then the seniors formed an arch for the kindergarteners to go through, then they released balloons. The seniors gave their parents a rose and a letter.

WTC was there, fighting off tears.

And it was muggy as New Orleans in August. Mrs. Jet and I went to Street Cafe, read the letter and cried, then ate shrimp bowls.; 1:05 PM
Seanzie said...: AU1...this will make you jealous...I was on spring break a couple of weeks ago and all of us were hanging out by the pool. Well there is this group of college cheerleaders from IU there playing some kind of game with a beach ball and they're all jumping around...well let's just say two of them jumped too hard and there was subsequent wardrobe malfunctions...; 1:06 PM
Norm said...: I'm sure that was very nice.

I'm guessing part of the reason you and I didn't do that is because the campus wasn't too easy on the eyes. Certainly not like what you're paying for these days.; 1:09 PM
Monica said...: Sean you're still doing spring break?

Was it graduation day, Jet?

Funny story, AU1. I wish I could tell you my Henig Furs building story.; 1:10 PM
Norm said...: You mean the story where you were wearing one of their furs and nothing else? That story?; 1:12 PM
Jet said...: Mon ...

Senior Sendoff day ... essentially their last day before exams. Graduation is May 18. But it was a neat day.

Hopefully have photos on FB up later. His kindergarten buddy is a huge Auburn fan, too. They are a pair.; 1:13 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: Sorry, Sean, disregard my 4 goal post. I see you were behind :).; 2:00 PM

Unknown said...: By the way, on a more serious note, kind of, I read an article on Trooper Taylor on Undercover the other day. After reading it, I suddenly found myself with a man crush on Chizik.

As all of you know, I thought Tuberville deserved a chance to turn things around, but that doesn't mean I don't like the Chiz.

In reading the Trooper article, I get the impression that Chizik really gets it in terms of being an Auburn man. The emphasis on family and the kids getting their education is something I love. Pat Dye didn't tend to emphasize academics and that was the one knock I had on him. Of course, Terry Bowden emphasized cheerleaders. I like where Chizik's head is at. Of course we could always drop back to cheerleaders.; 4:25 PM
michael said...: Jan Terri emphasizes a Journey to Mars.; 4:25 PM
Unknown said...: In terms of the war on terror, Obama seems to be just continuing with the plan Bush had, although he did change the name to something kinder and gentler, although I can recall what.

In terms of the economy, it seems like Obama is Bush to the second power. Bush wanted to spend the money. Obama wants to spend more. We shall see how it works out.; 4:27 PM

Bush also appropriated 1 trillion dollars last fall. We will see if Obama ever matches that. Crazy times.; 4:32 PM

Jet said...: Personally,

I'd like to see Monica take an ire tool to Steve and Michael and see what happens.; 4:42 PM
michael said...: Keith Olbermann is a prickwhore just like Urban Meyer, but without the winning football team.

However, I must disagree with those who share the view of my dad and Jet that if we don't stop him, Obama will be sending our kids to indoctrination camps. I have heard some compare Obama's rise to Hitler's rise in power. Simple nuts.

And since Monica abdicated the thrown, I have been Queen of HABOTN and thus fear her not.; 4:43 PM
michael said...: simple nuts = simply nuts, but funnier.; 4:43 PM
Jet said...: Michael,

While I'm a conservative, I don't think I've opined that my children will be going to indoctrination camps.

Who needs them anyway, when you've got the mainstream media??; 4:45 PM
Jet said...: Michael,

Forget not that you are also King of Eurasia.; 4:46 PM
michael said...: Hey Jet, quiz question: What is the difference between Barack Obama/Bill Clinton and George Bush/Ronald Reagan? Obama and Clinton are actually able to admit to themselves that they likes big government and thus make an attempt to pay for it.; 4:47 PM
michael said...: HABOTN is one of the few places that still does not recognize Eurasia's status as a sovereign state, so it gives me no power here. I have been meaning to talk to Jay G about that.; 4:48 PM
Jet said...: Since you answered the question for me, do I still get a 100?; 4:48 PM
Jet said...: Michael ...

Are you a member of the Tri-Lateral Commissioner?; 4:49 PM
michael said...: Yes... but the question was out of 456. So 100 is not all that good.; 4:50 PM
Jet said...: I guess I'll need one of the federal government grade bailouts.; 4:51 PM
michael said...: I had to look up what the trilateral commission is, and after doing so, I have decided that it sounds like an interesting group. I plan on a hostile takeover to seize control using the forces of Eurasia.; 4:52 PM
