Hey everyone. Tuesday was fun. I expected The TV People to ask Chizik about Trooper Taylor, whom Paul Finebaum portrayed as racist, but that didn't happen. I didn't ask because I don't think the ESPN clip included any untoward language -- let alone racist rhetoric.As noted yesterday, O-A News ace Andrew Gribble went on Paul Finebaum's show yesterday and wasn't asked about Trooper Taylor. I find that odd. I also consider that confirmation that Finebaum knows the story isn't legitimate. He doesn't want to get crossed up by someone on the ground in Auburn. See what I mean?
I hope you saw last night's video. It was a funny one.
Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

ReplyDeleteYou boys are quick
ReplyDeleteEarnhardt!
ReplyDeleteLame, Eddie. But quick fingers.
ReplyDeleteApparently not quick enough. Damn.
ReplyDeleteI think Michael just called me an assclown.
ReplyDeleteLIGHTING TODAY
ReplyDeleteNo, Eddie, that was my paycheck
ReplyDeleteI'M BACK!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid we put odds out against rushing numbers? O/U @ 250?
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sorry. Yes, Eddie, that second post was in fact him calling you that.
ReplyDeleteHi, missinit.
ReplyDeleteSean- Lame is my game.
ReplyDeleteKristina,
ReplyDeleteAre you doing the whole tailgate thing this weekend? I am trying to decide what to do because it sure looks like rain again. This whatever bug I've had has sure taken it out of me. I ALWYAS am on for setting up our tailgate, but I am seriously thinking of weanieing out again this week.
There's always Knoxville next week!
ReplyDeleteIs weanieing a word?
ReplyDeleteThe "boat"
ReplyDeleteAero,
ReplyDeleteThat picture still makes me laugh! Thank you!!
I think we are doing low tech again, Cincy. The kids are tired of being orphans on the weekends so they are gonna be up there with us.
ReplyDeleteDear Leader said...
ReplyDeleteLIGHTING TODAY
Welcome to the electric age.
Kristina- I may stop back by and say hello again if that is Ok, the wife and kids will be with us as well, so i'm sure we will be going everywhere that day to please them.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's OK, Eddie.
ReplyDeleteI am ready to come home.
ReplyDeleteWe're ready for j00, Jet.
ReplyDeleteWhew!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been out of pocket for a few days. Boats? Tub? We could have used both the past few days!
My son who lives in Atlanta had MAJOR though not catastrophic damage to his home. 12 inches of rain on Sunday and Monday, on top of the prior rain that had saturated the ground, did them in. Hubby and I went to lend four helping hands.
Lots of towels , fans, blowers, dehumidifiers, wet/dry vacuums, and hydraulic cement kept the situation from being a total catastrophy. By the way, they are NOT in a flood zone. It has been crazy. They are now 312 on a list just for an appointment for someone to come and assess the damage.
They lost the entire flooring in the finished basement though most valubles were salvaged. The man cave and his Auburn "stuff" was salvaged!
They were very fortunate but many in the area were not. Lives were lost and many families homes were destroyed. I pray for those families.
The point of this post: Give every member in your family and hug and tell them how much you love them because you never know what tomorrow may bring. Just keep the faith and thank God for His blessings through it all, the good and the bad.
And finally FYI, hydraulic cement is totally amazing! It will stop a projecting stream of water. I saw it with my own eyes!!!
Sorry for the exra long post....now, what is going on in the HABOTN world? Someboy spill!
Thanks for reminding us of our priorities missinit.
ReplyDeleteJGT- Looks like you guys have a lot of fun with player interviews. Nice change of pace?
ReplyDeleteEvidently everything Michael has been saying has been a joke.
ReplyDeleteI like asking funny questions, too. That's part of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm good at needling Hot Carter.
I'm not sure which substansive poster said it or when it was said, but there was a first post earlier that said "winning is fun."
ReplyDeleteI must agree whoeheartedly.
or wholeheartedly. Both will work.
ReplyDeletemissinit,
ReplyDeleteSo glad that your son didn't have more damage than he did. The power of water is amazing. Our prayers are with the people in Georgia who have to deal with this disaster.
We're glad you're back. In your absence, it has been determined that the Mr. Gulley is impressive and a country boy.
Great article today, JGT!
Stand and sing:
Thank God he's a country boy!
Missinit...We're a mere 15 miles from the flooding in Austell/Pwder Springs and not so bad We only got 8 in. in those 2 days. The four extra inches of rain was devastating.
ReplyDeleteFor the non-Atl folks...Six Flags (near the river)@ I20 is under water. The flooding extends from Six flags for 5-10 miles to the NW up the Sweetwater Creek basin. Most every major road that Eddie could use to commute to work in Atl has been flooded.
Hehhe
ReplyDeleteIt is strange how the rain seem to be in the northwest part of Atlanta. My brother-in law lives in Tucker and said except for some low places in some areas he saw no roads covered with water. His rain gage showed only 7.5 inches of rain for the three baad days.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that Hoopie, and if it's not flooded, the road has been washed away. No fun getting to Stone Mountain where I work from Villa Rica. I got home last night via almost Newnan and then up and I went to work this morning via Kennesaw.
ReplyDeleteDigger- We received 18 inches of rain in my little city of Villa Rica. Lots of problems around where I live and we don't even have a major creek or waterway that would only compound it.
ReplyDeleteI have got to make a Tiger Walk if for no other reason to see Trooper. I am kicking myself for not making it when I was there for MSU.
ReplyDeleteWinning is fun was me MRTD. :)
Eddie that is a bunch of rain. I am originally from Atlanta and very familure with Villa Rica. This of course was many years ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy to think those roller coasters are that far under water...the pictures are mind blowing.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I was slightly concerned about the crowd dwindling after the rain Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI will never doubt again. Auburn folks are awesome.
Hoopie and digger,
ReplyDeleteYes, it has indeed been crazy in Atlanta the past few days!
You, Hoopie, are actually closer to the most devasted parts than he is. It's crazy digger, my son actually lives in the Tucker area, not the area that got the 15-18 inches of rain, but he got a ton...he quit emptying the rain gauge after three times or four times. The neighborhood he lives in is very rolling and hilly, almost like the foothills in the mountains. His house is in the "valley" of the neighborhood, therefore he got the bulk of the runoff, therefore the damage.
It was really crazy with parts of the roads and interstates closed. The metro almost comes to a halt when those interstates aren't up and running.
Home Depot and Lowe's sold out of everything "water damage" related in no time.
It is a humbling experience. But we are thankful, it could have been SO much worse.
Six Flags was built in the Chattahoocee wet lands and had flooded many times before but no where near this bad.
ReplyDeleteMissinit, they can't live too far apart but the amount of rain is tremendous.
ReplyDeleteIn going back...I have indeed learned that
ReplyDelete1. Gulley is a country boy...but hey I'm from the country and that's cool.
2. There is a ghost holding a pillow or something, in the background behind him in the video? Is it Shug? Is he like the Bahr... and returned?
3. Blanc has beautiful WHITE teeth. I wonder what kind of tootpaste he uses????
4. The ending music to the videos is very nice....what is it????
Glad to be back in the groove of everyday life. I've missed y'all!
Sensi & Eddie,
ReplyDeleteSo D-Money is the new recruiting sensation, huh?
glad you're back missinit.
ReplyDeleteRecruiting news for anyone who is interested:
ReplyDeletehttp://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=4494616&name=Southeast_Recruiting
RK- We were getting punk'd, and I knew it, but tried to be gracious.
ReplyDeletethanks Choc. good to hear.
ReplyDeleteI assume they were talking about former Milwaukee Brewer Don Money.
ReplyDeleteDon Money? Well played, RK.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I can roll with that RK.
ReplyDeleteMorning Hotties - I haven't kept up this week as much as I'd hoped but I see that Jet has done an admirable job as my designated spokesperson with his 9:33 post. I am way beyond ready to come home and put this particular slice of SoCal behind me for good. Today and tomorrow are my last days here onsite so I'm winding things down and may be able to come in here and bother you folks more. I know you're relieved.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, the roads and bridges in the ATL area which I travel from the airport to my home will be opened again (if mine were closed at all) by the time I get off the red-eye Friday morning. That'd just be icing on the cake to have to find a new route home in morning rush hour.
Keep Hate Alive!
I was just reminded that several people here acted like it was the end of the world when we added Ball State to the schedule last year.
ReplyDeleteMy, how quickly things can change in the world of college football.
Ah, here it is
ReplyDeleteIn other news, yesterday I found myself wondering about how many people in the ATL reasonably thought they'd need NFIP.
Last years Ball State vs last years Auburn team might not have been a sight to behold.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else notice that the College Football Hall of Fame is moving to Atlanta??? I believe it's going to be close to the Coke Museum and Aquarium. I'm happy about that.
ReplyDeletethey're dumping South Bend? that's AUsome! ha.
ReplyDeleteAU 2008 vs. Ball State 2009 ... 2-2 game heading into OT?
ReplyDeletethat sounds like an 8 or 9 OT game Jet. lots of Wes Byrum.
ReplyDeleteNow if only anyone cared about the college football hall of fame...
ReplyDeleteLet the record show in that schedule thread posted by weagle, I did not complain about Ball St. I did however complain about the Auburn alma mater.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone looks hard, everyone sayas things that look dumb in hindsight. Weagle, I nominate you to go find some of the best.
Has anyone mentioned that Collegefootballnews.com has AU ranked #8?
ReplyDeleteAside from the prospective coaches list in that same thread?
ReplyDeleteIf I only had the time.
Choco,
ReplyDeleteDr. Saturday has us as second in his Blogpoll ballot, but he ranks strictly on quality of wins.
Off Topic for this post:
ReplyDeleteDid anyone respond to what Trooper said last night abot the comment others are saying he made?
to paraphrase, he said that if that person heard that word, then that word was in their heart and they were looking for it.
Nice reply, i thought
Scott Choc, Eddie had it posted monday i think. nice to get a little respect.
ReplyDeletehere's my fav part of JG's article today:
A slow start: Linebacker Adam Herring said Tuesday that the Tigers haven't spent much time reviewing footage of this weekend's opponent.
Of course, Ball State is 0-3.
"All I've heard is that David Letterman went there," Herring said. "That's all I know about Ball State right now."
so, they're working on Tennessee instead? hhhmmmm....
Wow, weagle! #2, huh? And I thought #8 was crazy. CFN also projects AU playing Okey St. in the Cotton Bowl.
ReplyDeletelooking at that old thread weagle... someone gave this list for the coaches we should go for:
ReplyDelete1) Butch Davis
2) Bob Stoops
3) Pete Carroll
I'll bet Chiz was #4 on the list.
Chiz was so #4.
ReplyDeleteMicheal is joking.
ReplyDeleteChiz was always #1 on my list despite the Turner Gill Avatar I sported. And let the record show how happy and pleasantly surprised I was by the hire.
ReplyDeleteAuburn won't be heading back to the Cotton Bowl anytime soon if I had to guess. I have a feeling the lack of tickets sold for that game along with most not wanting to be there is enough to detour the Cotton Bowl Officials from selecting us again. I'm all for the Capital One Bowl and Disney World. It will take 6 more wins to be able and punch that ticket.
ReplyDeleteI'd bet the week before the La-Mo game last year and the thread announcing the Chizik hire probably have some gems in them.
ReplyDeleteEddie, I imagine the fans' attitude toward the Cotton Bowl would be a little different this time around.
ReplyDeleteNobody wants to go to Dallas for a bowl game.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not a BCS game, then Florida is the place to go.
I froze my butt off at the Cotton Bowl vs Nebraska. I would rather be in FL in general, but I'll still take that Cotton Bowl win over the previous year's Capital One Bowl loss. Is the Cotton Bowl in the new Cowboys stadium this season? That might sway my decision about going if this prediction actually came true.
ReplyDeleteweagle- I would be surprised if ticket sales were much better. It has been so darn cold the two times we have played there in recent memory and I personally have no desire to drive to Texas, but like RK said, Florida is always fun and I will always show up, especially if I have the chance to use my annual Disney Pass.
ReplyDeleteScott C- It moves to the new stadium this season, or 2010 technically.
ReplyDeleteThe only time the trip to Florida for a bowl game wasn't fun was the Outback Bowl vs Penn State.
ReplyDeleteWERK, I didn't particularly enjoy losing to Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl (though I did enjoy the trip other than the game).
ReplyDeleteKristeniuh. your services are proving to be quite valuable. I will talk with some stock holders about getting you a raise.
ReplyDeleteisn't that another .15 for K? girl is gonna be rich.

ReplyDeleteI just like how Michael pays Kristina by breaking into her house and putting her pay in the coin jar. I wonder if Michael has a fettish for women's underwear??....I mean, he is a Jan Terri Fan.
ReplyDeleteWhy would being a Jan Terri fan mean I have a fetish for underwear? According to Bear Bryant, Jan doesn't even wear underwear.
ReplyDeleteKristeenuh, I talked to the stock holders, there was some give and some take, some I scratch your back and you scratch mine, but in the end, you now are making $.14/hr. I am not a very good negotiator. Plus, these tough economic times and all that, you know.
Mr. JG Tate - sorry for not noticing sooner, but thanks for messin' with my name.
ReplyDeleteThanks, mchiela, you always come through for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am torn about the Tennessee game.....I was hoping this gig with Michael would help pay for it, but now I'm not sure.
Michael- This place would not be the same without you. YOu make me smile on a daily basis. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for that line ehyou
ReplyDeleteEddie I can't believe you commute from Villa Rica to Stone Mountain. I thought I was crazy.
ReplyDeletestop it.
Just for a thought here's the CBSSports.com top 120. Auburn is #23
ReplyDeleteCBSSports 120
i have decided to make BEAT TENNESSEE shirts for my family-peeps next weekend.
ReplyDeleteany ideas for the backs?
Eddie...
ReplyDeleteYou don't work or live in ATL, yet you have to go straight through all the craziness. You need to be "evaluated".
Tiger Rags has finally made a gameday shirt that I have to buy this year!
ReplyDeleteSittin' on G Waitin' on O
Go Tigers!
Jay G., great piece on Gulley today. Enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteScottie,
ReplyDeleteGot my hat in the mail today. Nice.
I always liked the South Park themed "Oh my, we've killed Tenny" for the UT game in 98.
ReplyDeleteToo bad we didn't beat them, but I loved the shirt.
Eddie - the pleasure is all mine. Nothing like coming to HABOTN here and there during the work day to talk about AU and post nonsense. This is life, baby!
ReplyDeleteKrustinajh - This gig would easily pay for your UT trip if you hitchhiked, ate rice cakes while there, and learned to budget your finances properly.
is that a joke michale?
ReplyDeleteehyou & mytommy- I definetly thought about losing it yesterday with the commutes. This afternoon is going to much better as they have opened I-20, which should take my drive to the normal hour or so drive.
ReplyDeleteEddie, I was working a trade show in ATL a couple of weeks ago. The booth next to me was staffed by someone from Andalusia. She had a good line after a couple of hours in Monday morning traffic, "If I had to do that every day, I'd have to have a helicopter or a bazooka." For the record, given her family connections, she could easily afford both.
ReplyDeletethanks for the heads up RK. :)
ReplyDeleteRe: ATL driving - thankfully, I live and work a fair amount north of 285 and don't have to fool with ATL unless it's for something planned. Traffic absolutely sucks in ATL. I can tell you with a fair amount authority after all of my time in the area of Los Angeles lately, while there may be more roadways and cars in L.A. their traffic doesn't compare to ATL as far as gridlock is concerned. I just can't imagine another area having worse traffic on such a consistent basis than ATL does.
ReplyDeleteGood quote Scottie C, I just want a Tank.
ReplyDeleteNorm.....Houston has worse traffic congestion and it's all pickups.
ReplyDeleteDC traffic = Atl traffic.
I hardly ever have to do the Atl rush anymore. During the 80's-90's there was a lot of traffic, but it was the NASCAR driving style that created the real tension and daily wrecks.
I've actually head-faked coming over into a lane to force someone to break and give me an opening.
Turn signals are a sign of weakness in the ATL.
beat Tennessee
ReplyDeleteAnthony Gulley is going to be a guy we see a lot for the next 3 years. I love it when one of these kids from a small school does good.
ReplyDeleteSomeone "warned" me about LA traffic. Having done Atlanta traffic, and experienced LA traffic, I'd say the warning wasn't really needed.
ReplyDeleteDallas traffic is a pain because of the lack of an onramp
I hate Bama
Beat BallState

ReplyDeletePrep for Ball State game...
ReplyDeleteName a famous Ball State alumnus other than David Letterman:
John Schnatter, Founder and Chairman of Papa John's Pizza restaurants
Joyce DeWitt, actress in Three's Company
Jim Davis, cartoonist of Garfield
Stedman Graham, Publicist, author; long-time male companion of Oprah Winfrey
Jason Whitlock, sports columnist for The Kansas City Star and AOL Sports, formerly with ESPN.com
Papa Johns sounds gooooood.
ReplyDeleteMr. Gulley, you were only rated a 3 star recruit and not a top notch 3 star recruit coming out of highschool. Do you feel this hinders your play in any way?
ReplyDelete"Male companion" just doesn't have a pleasant ring to it.
ReplyDeleteOne might as well say jiggolo. Can we say that here?
ReplyDeletePossibly life partner would sound better.
ReplyDeletei can't get "I'M ON A BOAT" outta my head.
ReplyDeletethanks JG. all friggin' day.
Janet Wood was hot. I don't think that's a consensus, but I don't really care.
ReplyDeleteBad news for Ball State:
ReplyDeleteMalzahn was asked last night if he'll keep running at the same speed even if reserves are in and the game is out of hand.
``Yeah -- I mean, that's what we do," Malzahn said. ``We want our guys to be able to do what we do on Saturdays."
scottie...
ReplyDeleteI't going on 3 days for me. I keep seeing that guy riding the dolphin.
Thanks for reading, E-Bro!
ReplyDeleteThis ain't SeaWorld
ReplyDeleteWe have a "do what we do" sighting. Whoop!!
ReplyDeleteI am having a tough time getting excited about Ball State. It is like playing Furman or except they were a bowl team. I am much more interested in see Ole Nutt match up against the Cocks on Thursday night.
ReplyDeleteI love watching games Houston Nutt coaches, as long as they get some good shots of him on the sideline doing his Jack Nicholson, the shining, impression.
Scott Choc,
ReplyDeleteYou forgot Suzanne Tuberville in your Ball State alumni list.
well, i'm happy for you ehyou. i guess.
ReplyDeleteI CLIMB BUOYS
Jay, every day I do.
ReplyDeleteThat Tulsa team absolutely undressed that Ball State defense last year. Thirty first downs? How about stopping them occasionally?
ReplyDeleteAnyone notice how Malzahn looks like he's about to drop a deuce when he's romaing the sidelines.
ReplyDeleteI'm flipping burgers, you at Kinko's straight flipping copies.
ReplyDeleteGus looks that way because every time they show him, he is wanting to ball to have already been snapped 10 seconds earlier.
ReplyDeleteIt's all that coffee, Ebro.
ReplyDeleteCollege football live has been nothing but an SEC love-fest today, but with NO mention of Auburn. They have had on Coach Satan, Ole Miss and how there hardest away game is going to be tomorrow against South Carolina, mentioned how good Arkansas's QB is, how LSU is under the radar(how can you be under the radar at #7?, the continuing squabble between Meyer and Kiffin.
ReplyDeletePapa Johns FTW.
ReplyDeleteA KFC just opened 300 yards from where I live. There's a Pizza Hut about a mile from here.
Too bad I don't like either. I miss Quiznos.
ok, who makes their first catch of 2009?
ReplyDeleteA. Benton
B. Gulley
C. Hawthorne
D. Blake
?
The look on his face is something akin to the face my year old niece makes when she's doing her business.
ReplyDelete*their
ReplyDeleteIt's always that way, we are so far under the radar and off the grid that I just assume Auburn is what is holding that college football radar up and that's why nobody ever sees us on it.
ReplyDeleteE. All of the above?
ReplyDeleteDoes John Douglas get his first carry of the year?
ReplyDeleteI'll go C. Hawthorne. But I expect them all to have grabs this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow good is Tim Hawthorne? Trying to get a read from last year is unfair and impossible.
ReplyDeleteJay G,
ReplyDeleteYour new avatar,...sweet! Back in the day it was Paul, Paul, Paul for all the teeny bopper girls....except for me.
I loved me some George Harrison then...and I still do! He was my favorite Beatle.
What is the ending music on the videos?

ReplyDelete"Trying to get a read from last year is unfair and impossible."
ReplyDeleteDarvin Adams is proof of that, not to mention Todd, not to mention, well, just about everybody.
I'd love to see PPL, Derek Winter (unless he's being RS'ed this year) and Carr get some playtime.
ReplyDeleteI just don't get the feeling PPL is going to see the field this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm pulling for Douglas to get a carry
ReplyDeletewww.secsports.com just announced a new iphone app.
ReplyDeletei don't have one, but thought i'd share. JG & FSJ do i know.
Bobby Cox announced he will retire after 2010 season. By far my favorite BB manager. I'll miss him.
ReplyDeleteso next season is Bobby's swan song...hopefully the Braves will send him off in style.
ReplyDeleteThe pieces are there for Atlanta to return a strong team next year.
ReplyDeleteThe starting rotation is really good. If they can add one more HR hitter in the middle of the line up. Maybe in LF to replace Anderson they should be able to compete with the Phillies.
I can't believe the Phillies haven't folded. Two years in a row?
ReplyDeleteSo, what are the views of the people who felt we had no playmakers and no talent on offense last year thinking now? I do believe we had weapons last season. They were just pointed in the wrong direction.
ReplyDeleteThink Chipper hangs it up at the same time as Bobby Cox?
ReplyDeleteWERK, I thought about putting Suzanne Tuberville on there, but I thought someone had posted that previously. Honestly, she's probably almost as well known as some of Ball State's biggest sports figures. I'd say their most successful pro sports alum would be Merv Rettenmund, former MLB player. Probably their only current pro athlete worth mentioning is Bonzi Wells.
Last year Auburn was too busy shooting themselves in the foot, thus must have been pointed down.
ReplyDeleteWoodbery has a good article on Auburn every day.
PUPPET HOUR!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLast year we had Weapons of Mass Confusion that were being handled with BBQ tongs.
ReplyDeleteDo old puppets sit on the porch and whettle
ReplyDeleteThere should be an i somewhere and e should leave
ReplyDeleteOld puppets never die, they fade away...
ReplyDeleteIt is becoming increasingly clear what the issues were last season. Clearly it wasn't an issue with talent. It also apparently wasn't Tony Franklin. He is being very successful at MTSU. I wouldn't blame the BBQ boys either. They won a lot of games at Auburn.
ReplyDeleteThe issue was very simple. When you ask Jimmy Buffett to sing opera, it might not be a good fit.
Our skill guys aren't great, but they're good. This offense gets them open and they are executing....which is great.
ReplyDeleteGreat skill players make openings and plays when there is nothing to work with.
Now...we should be attracting even better talent soon.
I would argue the issue was also talent. Todd was not this Todd. I am of the belief we don't have a lot behind Todd this season. But clearly Malzahn is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Puppets are perverts.
also puppets don't age. You people need to read your puppet manuals again
ReplyDeleteRead the Puppet manuals, memorize them, and then burn them. It is a strategic advantage for them not to know what we know about them to know what said me rat a tat tat.
ReplyDeleteThat section had been ripped from my puppet manual before I ever got my hands on it.
ReplyDeleteThe offense wasn't the issue. Franklin has knocked off Memphis and Maryland with that same offense at MTSU. I do agree we didn't have an option at QB. Todd looked good or at least adequate in the first 3 or 4 games, but it was clear his arm wouldn't last and he wasn't a threat to throw a deep ball.
ReplyDeleteOne of the puppet manuals is a cook book. If the manual makers were still alive, I would ask them why it is included in the set. Great recipes, though.
ReplyDeleteisn't most of the recipes how to cook human flesh?
ReplyDeleteYeah, but the foreword tells you to substitute chicken when human flesh is not available. It is a flexible cook book.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a good muffin recipe in the book.
ReplyDeleteeven an evil, murderous, mind controlling puppet loves a good muffin
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am in the twilight zone. Are there puppets in the twilight zone?
ReplyDeleteYeah. It is theorized that their love of muffins is why they often target humans with "muffin tops". But there are a lot of theories out there. You never really know.
ReplyDeleteYes, and they will cut you for a muffin, Cincy
ReplyDeletei believe that michael. that is why i always wear loose fitting sweatsuits.
ReplyDeleteI make awesome muffins
ReplyDeleteBut, I am also guilty of having a muffin top, getting to be a smaller muffin top, but there none the less
ReplyDeletecincy - can you make poison muffins? Because I have a really complicated plan that might let us kill puppets with your muffins if they have poison in them.
ReplyDeleteKristeenuh - you should know that you are off duty as my assistant during Puppet Hour. Not sure if you read that in your contract.
ReplyDeleteSo puppet hour is real then, right?!
ReplyDeleteSteve; MTSU vs Auburn ... who wins?
ReplyDeleteI now know what a muffin top is. That should come in handy someday.
ReplyDeleteMTSU isn't Auburn. MTSU doesn't have the talent of Auburn. But wins over Memphis and Maryland for MTSU are like us beating LSU and Florida.
ReplyDeleteSteve I'm not sure I would put Maryland (who won in OT over James Madison, and lost to Cal by 39) on the same vein as us beating Florida. I think we can beat LSU anyway as it stands right now.
ReplyDeletemichael,
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check my recipe. My muffins are so good you would say "these muffins are to die for" does that count?
ahhhhhhh - muffin top
ReplyDeletePerhaps if your muffins were "killer"
ReplyDeleteI don't know. They are just idiomatically to die for? I will have to check my puppet manuals to see if puppets find idioms fatal.
ReplyDeleteMTSU isn't exactly a top college program. Memphis is their LSU.
ReplyDeleteMTSU = Muffin Top State University
ReplyDeleteWay to kind of bring everything into focus, Scott C. I use to work in Murfreesboro, TN; which is where MTSU is located.
ReplyDeleteI think chocolate is poisonous to puppets, so maybe we should add some of Scott's chocolate to the muffins.
ReplyDeletecept that would be such a waste of good chocolate
ReplyDeleteUsed to live/work somewhat near Murfreesboro myself, Steve.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Cincy. We'll use the same chocolate I sell to the Bammers.
Page turnage?
ReplyDelete
