My post earlier was two mutually exclusive statements. Bruno's was the name of the grocery Aero was trying to think of that closed. And, Publix is coming into Auburn. Apparently the Bruno's store was too small for Publix to move into, that is the rumor anyway.
Jay G, I saw on the last thread you said some were giving you heat for your reporting of the "dust up". If they are giving you any trouble, just send them to me. I will take them to Eurasia, where I can pretty much invent crimes and appropriate punishments to suit my fancy. They won't give you heat anymore.
Awesome idea, D.Miller!!! I emptied a carton last night. Hopefully the freezer will be restocked when I get home in the wee hours. It's amazing how ice cream magically appears in our freezer. ALmost as amazing as the speed at which it disappears.
Well, we are off to a party where they will probably have only beer to drink :-( I think I will take a couple of diet cokes with lime. See y'all later.
At Monica's behest in a previous thread today, I've finally broken my HABOTN silence.
I have nothing substantive to say other than to inform my father that I am presently holding two cartons of ice cream hostage at flame-point. They will be released, in their original state, in exchange for a sizable deposit.
She sounds awfully serious... I'd heed her threats THT. I'm sure an online transfer would suffice. You will have to be careful though... If she decides that your deposit doesn't match her idea of 'sizeable', she may sacrifice a carton to get her point across.
Monica, it's for good reason substance is not a prerequisite.... I thought it was universal knowledge that substance is mutually exclusive of the y-chromosome.
Jay, with regard to the humorous little tale of hacks A, B, and C; I don't get why the short story bothered them. I have always believed if you are doing something you wouldn't want someone to know about, you shouldn't be doing it. Buy them each as passifier and ask them to get over it.
And what is even funnier is that Craig Stevens tweeted about it and how he was going to LMAO at the reporters. That is a college kid folks. Beat hacks need to lighten up.
And I am not done yet. There is something truly ironic about a "reporter" getting mad at a "reporter" for "reporting" something that he saw. These guys probably get pissed at fish for drinking water. Geeze!!!

JGT... from the last thread (catching up).. some of your peers looked down on you posting the dustup...
did they also look down on two grown men acting like such children.. that the auburn student laughed at them and left.. I still find it funny that grown men would act that way in front of a kid?
By the way, tonight is the night that Spike airs some UFC fights. The main event is a couple of women beating the crap out of each other. It should be well worth watching.
Ouch, I have my puppy on a diet. When I got him he was 81#. About 5 months later he is 103# of love, but he makes people nervous. He also brings them closer to God. Every time we go for a walk someone says, Jesus, that's a big dog.
To answer your query ... the four public HS that play football (or at least attempt to) in the Gump -- Sidney Lanier, Carver, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis -- share the Bowl. Alabama State plays its home games there, as does Faulkner.
Thankfully, the City put down Field Turf several years ago as the grass was usually torn to shreds by October.
D.Miller, i had Succatach with crab cakes and a drizzle of chipotle-lime aioli, carmel cheesecake, and half a pitcher of mimosa... leftovers from a luncheon.
right now i'm thinking i should have kept it to just two glasses.
I really miss going to high school games. Football is great. Girls softball is pretty awesome too. My daughter played on a traveling team, which got me hooked. It is much better than baseball.
Brother Jet, while you are counseling Eric Smith, would you mind stopping by and seeing Eltoro Freeman. If you could do some laying on of hands and a miracle healing, it would be much appreciated.
don't worry, DMIller, the dog doesn't always eat that well, but only because we don't eat that well. Molly dog gets whatever we get and today was a big wedding shower lunch thingie at our house. It was mere coincidence, yet my good fortune, that I had to work all day/evening, thus avoiding the estrogen convention. Unfortunately, it means I also missed out on all that yummy food.
I actually keep much more puppy food/treats in the house than I do people food, which explains his weight gain. I took him for a little 3 mile walk around a lake today. Hopefully it helped.
Mr. Jet, I like your rule, I will gladly vacate my undeserved seat as a n.n to 2.0. She is a winner and I am enjoying her posts so much. Keep it up young lady. Now back to a rousing night here at the home of looking at old National Geographics.
Thanks for all that you do Aeronaut. I know that a lot of troops have been over there for a long time. It doesn't make the headlines as much these days, but we are still thinking of you.
Yea, watch the episode, D. Miller. They refer to it as one of his toughest challenges. I had expected a deliverance moment where he got some Ned Beatty type lovin, but it never happened. He did kill a pig, which I wish they didn't show on TV, but I figured it would have been the signal for the good ole boys to show up.
You got to wonder why they chose Alabama. Yes, there are some small mountains and plenty of trees, but you aren't going to freeze to death and if you can't find water, you probably shouldn't be left alone anywhere.
I just never pictured Alabama as a survival place, although there might be some places like that. One of the shows was in the Georgia swamps. That I can see. In Bama, if you are stuck in the woods, the biggest danger is probably from getting shot by a good ole boy.
It is wonderful to see the HABOTN growing. IV was a wonderful addition. I have been wondering what will happen when the season starts. If the HABOTN burns like this trough the summer, it could really sizzle in the fall.
I love watching MMA. I do get a kick out of the nicknames. Chris "the crippler" Leban and Michael "the count" Bisping are about to fight. I wonder why they choose those nicknames. I suppose I would be "the computer geek", which is why I am not in MMA.
2.0...... or the sight of some barely clothed native girls. Oh, that is why I like Nat. Geo. so much, back in the day that is where I learned a little about girl anatomy. I am just reliving my childhood. And speaking of childhood, some of the residents here are so childish. They won't eat their oatmeal without cinnamon.
By the way folks, I think Eddie gave us wise advice the other day. Don't get too optimistic about this season. From the comments Chizik is making, I get the impression he is concerned.
Also, keep in mind that last season we could have easily been 3-9 or 9-3 for that matter. A lot depends upon luck with injuries.
Thanks Omnica. I had assumed that this time of year a curfew wouldn't be necessary. Between school and practice I would think staying up late would be the last idea in their heads.
Time for some reminiscing. The most fun I ever had going to a road Auburn game was circa 1963. I am sure some of you more senior A. U. fans may remember the "War Eagle Special". This was a special train that left Montgomery early on Saturday morning to go to the Auburn - Ga. Tech game, stopping in Auburn en route to pick up additional passengers including a lot of students. Having been long gone from Auburn and freshly established in the Gump, I, along with some new found Auburn buddies boarded said train in 'gomery and off we go to Hotlanta and what is now Booby Dodd Stadium. Quite a few fans boarded at outset but the fun really started when we stopped in Auburn. My friends, you think you can have fun traveling with some buddies to a game say in an R. V., you aint lived until you go to a game with a train load of Auburn buddies, old and newly found. Once in Atlanta, the R. R. had special busses to take us to the game. We got there in time to walk over to the Varsity for a few dogs, the only good thing in the vicinity of G. T. campus except for my younger son now living nearby on Peachtree Street. We beat the insects that day as I recall 29 to 21 which in them days was not easy to do in Atlanta. You were automatically 14 points down when you set foot in the stadium. The train ride back where it really got to be fun. Mucho adult drinks and partying for those that cared to participate and there no near me that didn't. This also brings back memories of the wreck Tech pajama parades on campus on Friday before the Tech game, but that is another story for another time.
Jay, I got notice today that the Advertiser is about to make a subscription rate increase. I truly hope that you get a part of that as you have earned it with your outstanding coverage. We appreciate all that you do for us.
Ah, Lloyd Nix, another Tiger that made a position switch for the team. Except this was from halfback to quarterback in 1957. A great move by the gentleman of all coaches, Coach Jordan. Some of that had to rub off on the great ones like Lloyd Nix. He was the first left handed QB that I ever saw.
I have disabled auto-play for this video.
Substance?
ReplyDeleteWelcome my brethren!
ReplyDeleteInfidel!
ReplyDeleteI could have been first but I watched the video. LOL
ReplyDeleteGood expanation of what pratices was all about.
I'll take "good explanation" as a compliment. I didn't have much to work with today ...
ReplyDeleteIt was meant to be I thought they explained it very well
ReplyDeleteMy post earlier was two mutually exclusive statements. Bruno's was the name of the grocery Aero was trying to think of that closed. And, Publix is coming into Auburn. Apparently the Bruno's store was too small for Publix to move into, that is the rumor anyway.
ReplyDeletePublix is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI thought Bruno's got bought out
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does Gus look a little like Chevy Chase/Clark Griswold? Something about his eyes and facial mannerisms.
ReplyDeleteI did some googling.
ReplyDeleteBrunos went bankrupt
I love Publix....and I even worked in a Kroger Deli during college.
ReplyDeleteI love southern women dressing up to go grocery shopping.
ENJOYED ! ! gottta go for a while.
ReplyDeleteIt is just you. He does not look like Chevy Chase.
ReplyDeleteThe guy with the gold looking recorder was a little close wasn't he? I kept waiting for Roof to turn his head and bite at it.
We are what we eat. I'm cheap, fast, and easy.
ReplyDeleteJay G, I saw on the last thread you said some were giving you heat for your reporting of the "dust up". If they are giving you any trouble, just send them to me. I will take them to Eurasia, where I can pretty much invent crimes and appropriate punishments to suit my fancy. They won't give you heat anymore.

ReplyDeleteIn honor of THT, I think I may eat me some ice cream....
ReplyDeleteNap Time.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea, D.Miller!!! I emptied a carton last night. Hopefully the freezer will be restocked when I get home in the wee hours. It's amazing how ice cream magically appears in our freezer. ALmost as amazing as the speed at which it disappears.
ReplyDeleteWell, we are off to a party where they will probably have only beer to drink :-( I think I will take a couple of diet cokes with lime. See y'all later.
ReplyDeleteour neigbhors always have a few DC just for me at neighborhood parties. My neighbors are awesome, even if they are mostly yanks.
ReplyDeletepracticed situations.. hmmm
ReplyDeleteDid they practice the fair catch/free kick play?
Nope...just watched it again. He has Clark Griswold mannerisms. I know whose house I'm driving by this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteCiao Tutti,
ReplyDeleteAt Monica's behest in a previous thread today, I've finally broken my HABOTN silence.
I have nothing substantive to say other than to inform my father that I am presently holding two cartons of ice cream hostage at flame-point. They will be released, in their original state, in exchange for a sizable deposit.
Ho finito.
She's got her mother's smarts!!!
ReplyDeleteOk... I have to admit that I needed to google "ho finito."
ReplyDeleteThis was the first image that popped into my head, and I was concerned.
Ho finito repository
Monica fomenting discontent and division wheree'er she goes.
ReplyDeleteI will admit that I'm intrigued by the prospect of learning conversational Italian from HABOTN.
ReplyDeleteHow would one say "New Thread" in Italian?
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued that it lists a max occupancy of 2...
ReplyDeletehow about nuova conversazione?
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll leave the Italian class to 2.0
I've got to get back to work. Seizure.
It disheartens me when families are in turmoil.
ReplyDeleteYoung lady, I pray you reconcile with your father and release his ice cream.
I implore you to focus anger where it belongs -- on UAT.
J-z, if you ever attend the Umbria Jazz festival you'll find this phrase very helpful:
ReplyDelete"due pagliacci hanno rubato le mie calzini e mi hanno dato un pesce."
Michael is the sock guy not me, but I'll keep this in my back pocket in case of emergencies.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Brother Jet - 2.0 loves Molly dog too much to torch the ice cream. At least that's what I'm trying to convince myself.
ReplyDelete2.0 - I don't even wanna know how that could be helpful.
Welcome, 2.0!!!
ReplyDeleteWe need someone like you to to raise the IQ of this joint!
If you've read much of the HABOTN at all you know that substance is NOT a prerequisite.
THT 2.0....welcome to the HABOTN. Something tells me that you've got your dad wrapped around your finger.
ReplyDeleteOf course holding 2 ice cream cartons hostage is good insurance.
If in the off-chance that he plays hard-ball with you..give in rather than let the ice cream melt......Oh the humanity!
She sounds awfully serious... I'd heed her threats THT. I'm sure an online transfer would suffice. You will have to be careful though... If she decides that your deposit doesn't match her idea of 'sizeable', she may sacrifice a carton to get her point across.
ReplyDeletei'm having chest pains
ReplyDeleteI CANNOT believe I'm watching TRM football online! fuh-reak-eee.
ReplyDeletelink-eee?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the link, Mon... I am football starved to the point that I am watching the computer play against itself on playstation...
ReplyDeleteAuburn is :15 seconds away from winning the opener 42-10.
TRM vs Leeds
ReplyDeletethank-eee
ReplyDeletejust what I need to keep me from getting my work done here ;-)
Ok its a slow night.... What do you think the score will be for game one
ReplyDeleteI predict 42-10.
ReplyDeleteThe red team has a lot of guys named T.R. Miller... I didn't realize it was such a common name...
ReplyDeleteno score in the last 15 sec?
ReplyDeleteThis is a better picture than most of the college games I've watched online.
ReplyDeleteMonica, it's for good reason substance is not a prerequisite.... I thought it was universal knowledge that substance is mutually exclusive of the y-chromosome.
ReplyDeleteyes, picture is superb. Except all the fans seem to blur into one shiny blob of aluminum.
ReplyDeletewhere's that banhammer?
ReplyDeleteThat is some substantial fiction...
ReplyDeletei'll pick it up in the 2nd half after I get caught up here in the office. Assuming I get caught up. I love watching football.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be there on Monday, THT...
ReplyDeleteOUCH! 2.0 bringing the man bashing smack on her first day!
ReplyDeletewhew
Y'all may end up appreciaiting me afterall...
LOLOLOLOL
I would so love to see TRM beat Leeds for so, so many reasons.
ReplyDeleteI also hope we get to see the halftime show. If so look for my Goddaughter. I know you all know what she looks like!
Jay, with regard to the humorous little tale of hacks A, B, and C; I don't get why the short story bothered them. I have always believed if you are doing something you wouldn't want someone to know about, you shouldn't be doing it. Buy them each as passifier and ask them to get over it.

I agree Steve; how can reporters get mad about another reporter reporting?

TRM putting the smack on Leeds early...
ReplyDeleteJGT... from the last thread (catching up).. some of your peers looked down on you posting the dustup...
ReplyDeletedid they also look down on two grown men acting like such children.. that the auburn student laughed at them and left.. I still find it funny that grown men would act that way in front of a kid?
You want to keep a secret? Well, just tell it to a reporter. That should do it.
ReplyDeletewoot woot!!
ReplyDeleteWho normally plays at Cramton Bowl in da Gump?
By the way, tonight is the night that Spike airs some UFC fights. The main event is a couple of women beating the crap out of each other. It should be well worth watching.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am not surprised.
ReplyDeleteMonnie,
ReplyDeleteGOOB?!?!
LOL
ReplyDeleteGO TIGERS!!! 21-0
ReplyDeletewoop woop
Wasn't Leeds the state champion last year?
Omnica, do you have a link to the game?
ReplyDelete5:10 post has link
ReplyDeleteThanks THT.
ReplyDeleteTHT, I just fed the dog beef tenderloin, scallops, an jumbo shrimp. The ransom is now doubled.
ReplyDeleteOuch, I have my puppy on a diet. When I got him he was 81#. About 5 months later he is 103# of love, but he makes people nervous. He also brings them closer to God. Every time we go for a walk someone says, Jesus, that's a big dog.
ReplyDelete"Brewton is one of those great cities with a lot of history and a lot of culture."
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Yep, that is Brewton alright! lol
I have never been jealous of a dog's dinner until now... sheesh! If you fed that to your dog, what did you feed yourself?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Coach Jamie Riggs voice and accent! Makes me miss Brewton.
ReplyDeleteYou're from "the gump" right, Miller?
ReplyDeleteIt makes you Miss Brewton? I thought you were married... should be Mrs Brewton.
ReplyDelete^^^more supporting evidence for Goob designation^^^
ReplyDeleteNo Ma'am... The Gump was temporary residence.
ReplyDeleteI am from Arab.
oh yeah, A-RAYUB
ReplyDeletesnort
Monica ...
ReplyDeleteTo answer your query ... the four public HS that play football (or at least attempt to) in the Gump -- Sidney Lanier, Carver, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis -- share the Bowl. Alabama State plays its home games there, as does Faulkner.
Thankfully, the City put down Field Turf several years ago as the grass was usually torn to shreds by October.
Monica ...
ReplyDeleteIs Coach Riggs sportin' his shirt and tie for the game?
D.Miller, i had Succatach with crab cakes and a drizzle of chipotle-lime aioli, carmel cheesecake, and half a pitcher of mimosa... leftovers from a luncheon.
ReplyDeleteright now i'm thinking i should have kept it to just two glasses.
I always get a chuckle out of the pronunciation of Arab in Alabama. It is one of the things I love about Alabama.
ReplyDeleteTHT 2.0, you really should have brought enough for everyone. Now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Jet.
ReplyDeleteYep, Coach Riggs had on his tie. LOL
That sounds much better than my dinner of twizzlers and doritos...
ReplyDeleteI really miss going to high school games. Football is great. Girls softball is pretty awesome too. My daughter played on a traveling team, which got me hooked. It is much better than baseball.
ReplyDeleteI had a twizzler earlier ... we shoulda fed 'em to the terrorists at Gitmo ... worse than waterboarding.
ReplyDeleteBrother Jet, while you are counseling Eric Smith, would you mind stopping by and seeing Eltoro Freeman. If you could do some laying on of hands and a miracle healing, it would be much appreciated.
ReplyDeletedon't worry, DMIller, the dog doesn't always eat that well, but only because we don't eat that well. Molly dog gets whatever we get and today was a big wedding shower lunch thingie at our house. It was mere coincidence, yet my good fortune, that I had to work all day/evening, thus avoiding the estrogen convention. Unfortunately, it means I also missed out on all that yummy food.
ReplyDeleteI actually keep much more puppy food/treats in the house than I do people food, which explains his weight gain. I took him for a little 3 mile walk around a lake today. Hopefully it helped.
ReplyDeleteI'm having fudge sticks and nabs for dinner.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me, THT, that a good daughter would have made her poor father a plate and brought it to him at work.
ReplyDeletewell, yeah, it seems.
ReplyDeleteMon- who am I looking for there?
D.Miller, it is the daughter who is poor, not the father.
ReplyDeleteFudge sticks!!! You people are driving me nuts. I am going to have to go get some of my quality food, nukkem burritos.
ReplyDeleteSteve ...
ReplyDeleteA wonderful idea.
actually, I'm pretty stuffed. I didn't get lunch until 3:30 and it was a DEElicious Rudino's Club Grinder. Plus fries.
ReplyDeleteSorry THT just now seeing your post. She was one of the majorettes.
ReplyDeleteDo you know who I am?
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna make a ruling right now, and I'm the kinda guy who can make a ruling, and I say you can make it to "Notable Newcomers" in 27 minutes.
I didn't get back to the game til near the end of the half-time show. Missed the majorettes.
ReplyDeleteNow y'all've got me trying to remember which fraternity brother was from A -Rayab.
onside kick?
ReplyDeletethere were no TRM players anywhere near the 50 on the near side of the field.
ReplyDeleteOne of my suite mates @ Auburn was from A-RAYUB. She was a hoot!
ReplyDeletewow, that's strong arm
ReplyDeleteTHT can you hear the game or just see it?
ReplyDeletehearing it all, seeing everything but the instant replays ;-)
ReplyDeleteyou should be working; you obviously lack your wife's work ethic
ReplyDeletemy work ethic is so strong I'm completely caught up!
ReplyDeleteI've driven through Arab quite a bit, but never really got a chance to stop and take in the atmosphere. Wasn't Henry Choe or his wife from there?
ReplyDeleteI met a lot of Arabs during my last tour of liaison work.
ReplyDeleteYes I am going to take a nap now.
By the way, in case anyone missed it, Bear Grylls actually survived a week in the backwoods of Alabama on a recent episode. Now, that is must see TV.
ReplyDeleteSteve, Henry's wife is from Arab.
ReplyDeleteSo, THT and Mon both know someone from Arab other than yours truly? Impressive. Who are they?
Mr. Jet,
ReplyDeleteI like your rule,
I will gladly vacate my undeserved seat as a n.n to 2.0. She is a winner and I am enjoying her posts so much. Keep it up young lady. Now back to a rousing night here at the home of looking at old National Geographics.
I think it is hilarious that he had to "survive" in woods that I used to play in when I was little...
ReplyDeleteThanks for all that you do Aeronaut. I know that a lot of troops have been over there for a long time. It doesn't make the headlines as much these days, but we are still thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteYea, watch the episode, D. Miller. They refer to it as one of his toughest challenges. I had expected a deliverance moment where he got some Ned Beatty type lovin, but it never happened. He did kill a pig, which I wish they didn't show on TV, but I figured it would have been the signal for the good ole boys to show up.
ReplyDeletewell said, steve... and seconded...
ReplyDeleteyes, we're hearing you, sideline reporter
ReplyDeleteThat only happens in N. GA and Tuscaloosa...
ReplyDeleteShe is kinda cute...
ReplyDeleteYou got to wonder why they chose Alabama. Yes, there are some small mountains and plenty of trees, but you aren't going to freeze to death and if you can't find water, you probably shouldn't be left alone anywhere.
ReplyDelete"if you can't find water [in AL], you probably shouldn't be left alone anywhere."
ReplyDeleteThat's funny!!!
IV ... you ain't goin' anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI just never pictured Alabama as a survival place, although there might be some places like that. One of the shows was in the Georgia swamps. That I can see. In Bama, if you are stuck in the woods, the biggest danger is probably from getting shot by a good ole boy.
ReplyDeleteIV: National Geographic is some exciting stuff, be careful. Nothing stops a heart like a picture of a 102.23 carat flawless diamond.
ReplyDeleteJet why are you trying to replace IV? Don't hate on the new guy. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteAlabama is, afterall, the river state...
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to see the HABOTN growing. IV was a wonderful addition. I have been wondering what will happen when the season starts. If the HABOTN burns like this trough the summer, it could really sizzle in the fall.
ReplyDeleteoops, forgot to site my source, please don't send me to honor council!
ReplyDeleteit was in the March 2002 NG.
If it speeds up much this fall, I won't be able to keep up...
ReplyDeleteWhew....I ate too much tonight..
ReplyDeleteI love watching MMA. I do get a kick out of the nicknames. Chris "the crippler" Leban and Michael "the count" Bisping are about to fight. I wonder why they choose those nicknames. I suppose I would be "the computer geek", which is why I am not in MMA.
ReplyDeleteI was about to say, "Huh?"
ReplyDeletewe haven't subscribed to NG in several years
I'm not hatin' on IV ... he's one of my heroes, despite his ties to J-Z.
ReplyDeleteI'm just salutin' THT2.0
2.0...... or the sight of some barely clothed native girls. Oh, that is why I like Nat. Geo. so much, back in the day that is where I learned a little about girl anatomy. I am just reliving my childhood. And speaking of childhood, some of the residents here are so childish. They won't eat their oatmeal without cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteoatmeal? Yummy. I'll come eat their cinnamonless oatmeal.
ReplyDeleteOatmeal should eaten with butter, brown sugar, and a bunch of other stuff that is bad for you.
ReplyDeleteIV: i bet even now you keep a copy of the Feb '86 issue under your pillow
ReplyDeleteoatmeal is a yankee creation. none for me, thanks.
ReplyDeleteBy the way folks, I think Eddie gave us wise advice the other day. Don't get too optimistic about this season. From the comments Chizik is making, I get the impression he is concerned.
ReplyDeleteAlso, keep in mind that last season we could have easily been 3-9 or 9-3 for that matter. A lot depends upon luck with injuries.
I only eat oatmeal if I have honey to put in it....
ReplyDelete2.0 - oatmeal is Scottish, as are you, well, at least the Robertson and MacLean part of you
ReplyDeleteat least Wikipedia says it's Scottish. You scared me. I don't do yankee food except for pure maple syrup.
nice catch!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should be recruiting Terez Lane.
ReplyDeletehe needs to learn how to block.
ReplyDeletefine. oatmeal may not be a yankee creation, but it is most certainly a yankee THANG...i'll have a bowl of grits, please.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a kick out of Cooper dog trying to share his toys with fat cat... and she (fat cat) wants nothing to do with him.
ReplyDeletemmm... grits... with butter and sugar, and honey
ReplyDelete"it would probably work to their advantage not to score"
ReplyDeleteIf that isn't a bad strategy, I don't know what is.
Cook: Haven't you heard of grits?
ReplyDeleteVinny: Yea, sure I have heard of grits. I just never seen a grit before.
2.0's cheese grits are indeed a culinary delight. I'll take grits every day over oatmeal.
ReplyDeletesugar in grits = southern gentleman card revoked
ReplyDeleteTouchdown TRM!!
ReplyDeleteThat's bad, bad strategy on their part ;-)
Instant grits? No self respecting southerner uses instant grits:)
ReplyDeletemore power to Monica!
ReplyDeleteThat announcer guy is not the brightest and seems to be very eager to have Leeds win. Oh well.
ReplyDeletemmmm I loooove me some cheese grits!!!
ReplyDeleteOn another blog I read an interesting question. Do Auburn players have a curfew this time of year?
ReplyDeleteStone Ground Grits from Oakview Farms in Wetumpka, Alabama.
ReplyDeleteCook sloowwwwly over low, low heat for 30 minutes. Add salt, pepper, a nice helping of real butter, and a handful of shredded cheddar.
You go ahead and think that, mon...
ReplyDeleteI heard they have an 11:00 curfew since Mr. Smith had his altercation and subsequent arrest.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't cook 'em, then go to Grand Hotel, Point Clear, get a crabmeat omelet and cheese grits.
ReplyDeletejet, you're making me hungry...
ReplyDeleteok....we need a subject change... you people are making me hungry...
ReplyDeleteMiller = sugar-in-his-grits-eatin'-yankee-boy
ReplyDeleteIn fact, let's go to the Grand.
ReplyDeleteDinner in the Grand Dining Room ...
Gumbo or sauteed crab claws for appetizer. I do love gumbo.
A wedge or a Caesar for the salad.
I'm sure I'll choose the grilled grouper with crabmeat and buerre blanc sauce for the entree.
Did someone say bread pudding?
Thanks Omnica. I had assumed that this time of year a curfew wouldn't be necessary. Between school and practice I would think staying up late would be the last idea in their heads.
ReplyDeleteHottest Grits Blog On The Net
ReplyDeleteSo let me see if I am all caught up...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the Auburn Publix.
My hubby has family in Arab.
I am not a true southerner (which I'm not) cause I don't like grits.
yummy!!! that even sounds better than fudge sticks and nabs.
ReplyDeletemmmm Jet that sounds YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteI love cheese grits with seafood.
Kristina and Michael show up together...again!
ReplyDeleteI do like shrimp and grits though. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteI thought that was faker that was supposed to show up? Would you guys get your stories straight...sheesh.
ReplyDeletewow... all these folks know paypul in arab.... I'm shocked
ReplyDeletecheese grits go with anything... but, expecially seafood!
ReplyDeleteTime for some reminiscing. The most fun I ever had going to a road Auburn game was circa 1963. I am sure some of you more senior A. U. fans may remember the "War Eagle Special". This was a special train that left Montgomery early on Saturday morning to go to the Auburn - Ga. Tech game, stopping in Auburn en route to pick up additional passengers including a lot of students.

V., you aint lived until you go to a game with a train load of Auburn buddies, old and newly found. Once in Atlanta, the R. R. had special busses to take us to the game. We got there in time to walk over to the Varsity for a few dogs, the only good thing in the vicinity of G. T. campus except for my younger son now living nearby on Peachtree Street. We beat the insects that day as I recall 29 to 21 which in them days was not easy to do in Atlanta. You were automatically 14 points down when you set foot in the stadium. The train ride back where it really got to be fun. Mucho adult drinks and partying for those that cared to participate and there no near me that didn't. This also brings back memories of the wreck Tech pajama parades on campus on Friday before the Tech game, but that is another story for another time.

You don't think I could get a train from Huntington to Auburn?
ReplyDeleteAh, Lloyd Nix, another Tiger that made a position switch for the team. Except this was from halfback to quarterback in 1957. A great move by the gentleman of all coaches, Coach Jordan. Some of that had to rub off on the great ones like Lloyd Nix. He was the first left handed QB that I ever saw.
