    ReplyDelete
  2. The hatin-est HOTTIE of this threat: THT.

    ReplyDelete
  3. How are you doing, Mr. Tate?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Jay's back...no 1000 posts tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I thought I could taste 1,000. So close. So close.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Alas, Norm, it was not meant to be.

    ReplyDelete
  7. JGT's spidey sense went off and told him to put something new out there.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Good Nathan Bedford Forrest quote THT.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I can't wait to bring the hate.

    ReplyDelete
  10. yep, I have no doubt NBF hated UA-T!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I would have been pulling for the Yankees when they set UAT on fire back '65 had I been there. I think NBF let the Yankees go into 'loosa without a fight.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I bet he did.

    On the other side though, I wish Sherman had marched through T-town instead of ATL.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I've got so much HATE I can't sleep.


    That and I'm still protesting THT's poor choice of priorities.


    FYI all of HABOTN: THT, aka Faker 2.0, doesn't think Auburn comes first.

    ReplyDelete
  14. 2.0,

    I like you but I find that piece of info to be hard to believe.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Damn Jay G and his new thread. I wanted 1000.

    ReplyDelete
  16. How much longer you gonna be in Italia?

    ReplyDelete
  17. J-Z,

    where you been?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hey 2.0! It's 3:33 a.m. You have class in a few hours. Get some rest. There's no more restful sleep than sleep filled with HATE for UA-T!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm worried that I might need to tone my hate back a tad. I called a cousin humper wearing a houndstooth hat a douchebag at Publix tonight.

    Dude thought he was getting the last can of cranberry sauce on the shelf. Oh hell no....

    ReplyDelete
  20. Kind of dumb question but for all us who have been cooking like a fool for a week...........who is carrying the game and what time does it start?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Sadly, IV, it's true.

    THT thinks a day and a half of lab is more important than being at the IB. It's just lab, no lecture; i'm not going to learn anything anyways. But NOOOOO, this is what happens when THT tries to parent. It's will be the first time I've ever missed a home IB.

    ReplyDelete
  22. missinit, or you can watch it with THT2.0 at 8:30 pm in Florence at the Irish pub.

    ReplyDelete
  23. with the Swedish bartender

    ReplyDelete
  24. Swedish bartender in an Irish pub in Florence, Italy? Interesting...

    ReplyDelete
  25. That's definitely multicultural...

    ReplyDelete
  26. I am not getting between you two 2.0 but I still find it hard to believe that THT has any less hate for the evil empire than I do.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I say we move back to the old thread and take it to 1000 just for kicks and giggles.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Okay J-Z, do the Lions take it on the chin Friday night?

    ReplyDelete
  29. J-Z, I like your Publix approach.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Go Auburn Tigers....both teams!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Man, to be in the RV city must be heaven.

    ReplyDelete
  32. IV, I don't know yet. It's going to be a good game. Our O-line has been a lot better since we hit the playoffs, and that was one of my big concerns. You've been to more games this year than I have, what do you think?

    ReplyDelete
  33. J-Z ...

    I think you need to visit every grocery story in the tri-county area before they close tonight, and seek out confrontations with Cousin Humpers.

    ReplyDelete
  34. We, since our offensive line is 1000 times better this season, we should theoretically be able to score 1000 times the points.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Do you think those people will have their Thanksgiving celebrations in RV's?

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think we've already done that Steve.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I doubt people will let Thanksgiving falling on Iron Bowl Eve spoil the Iron Bowl Eve holiday.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I do love the fact that the Kroger here plays the Auburn Marching Band CD.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I'm hitting the Piggly Wiggly around 10. Please have the bail bondsman on standby.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I am hoping we see some creativity with our linebackers in the Iron Bowl. Something different like Coleman playing middle linebacker would be interesting. He could mirror that Ingram dude.

    ReplyDelete
  41. You guys getting excited about market trips are making me feel better about sitting at home tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I am feeling guilty about not being in Auburn. Hopefully one day I can retire to Auburn and spend two years doing a constant pre-game Iron Bowl party.

    ReplyDelete
  43. You know Steve, I might have to come for that just for the pharmaceuticals.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I like that you just assume there'll be pharms there.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Like you didn't.

    ReplyDelete
  46. IV must have gone to bed.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I don't know how players do it. I become so nervous as the Iron Bowl approaches that I pretty much become useless. There is no way I could run out on the field without loading my shorts.

    ReplyDelete
  48. OK, you got me there. I did think it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. IV is on the old thread with me

    ReplyDelete
  50. Steve - how do you know the difference whether you're useless or not?

    Carm - see what just happened? I ragged on someone else. Everyone gets a turn.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I like it, Norm. You can rag on me anytime you want to as long as you wear that eye patch.

    Loading your shorts is not something I wanted to read.

    ReplyDelete
  52. My productivity at work pretty much drops to zero. In this case the mind isn't wasted, it is just on other things.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Fortunately the stock market shuts down for the holidays, or I would be screwed there too.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I hate Bama so much,

    I wouldn't be caught dead in anything houndstooth.

    ....and I am serious as a heart attack.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Dang... Old man is going for 1000 with 2.0.

    Steve... please never say anything about loading your shorts again... ever... really.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Steve - you're really just making it too easy here.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Carm - I have a plethora of patches.

    ReplyDelete
  58. houndstooth is for tards and losers

    ReplyDelete
  59. Carmela, I could go for houndstooth toilet paper, but that is about it.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Norm I want to stuff you and have you for Thanksgiving dinner.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Norm I want to stuff you and have you for Thanksgiving dinner.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'd rather use poison ivy.

    ReplyDelete
  63. That's quite the invitation there Carm.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Or is it a threat?

    ReplyDelete
  65. sorry i did it again

    ReplyDelete
  66. Should we leave now?

    ReplyDelete
  67. quit dissin' toilet paper!

    ReplyDelete
  68. J-Z,

    I hope I am wrong, but I think the Lions may go down. Why didn't you join me and 2.0?

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'll be bringing the HATE on Friday!

    ReplyDelete
  70. We'll see. I think the winner of this game can beat anybody out of the north bracket. You going over?

    ReplyDelete
  71. Not this time. Don't want to fight all of that traffic.

    ReplyDelete
  72. OK, I stumbled into this place, and Carmela's having Norm for dinner and IV's run off with 2.0.

    Some people have all the fun.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Finally got the house cleaned, laundry washed, and the food preparation complete, now I can join in the hate. At the end of my lunch break we had just turned the page at 400, and you more than doubled the thread count. That's A LOT of HATE!!! Did I miss anything else?

    ReplyDelete
  74. I have a different feeling about this Iron Bowl than Iron Bowl's in the past. It use to be you had a good idea about how good our offense would do. The the stretch of games against Arkansas, Kentucky, and LSU the offense was so different, I am not sure what to expect. Remember, in Todd we trust. If he doesn't have a good game, we don't have a good game.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Let's see... did you see the post about bammers being douchebags? 'Cause that just about sums it up.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Kathy ...

    Hit FSJ with a tire tool for $5 a swing for HABOTN Charities.

    Give 'til it hurts.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I like this, I can hate on two threads at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  78. IV - Isn't that mighty taxing on your old brain?

    ReplyDelete
  79. Good to see ex=UATer Roger Schultz make a fool of himself on Leno on a Biggest Loser Alumni Talent Show.

    He was supposed to long snap ball into the mouth of Leno, which had been painted on a mural. He missed the long snap, the shotgun snap, and finally got a short one.

    Bammer.

    ReplyDelete
  80. core of campus is quiet as a mouse but the HATE is coming...

    ReplyDelete
  81. AU basketball has the high point of its season, beating, of all schools, High Point, 75-54.

    ReplyDelete
  82. yes but only for a minute...

    ReplyDelete
  83. Kathy you are working too hard.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Surely you're joking Jet.

    ReplyDelete
  85. It's time for Omens and Amens with Bro. Jet.

    Satan is 0-4 at Jordan-Hare.

    UAT is 0-1 as an undefeated team at Jordan-Hare.

    Auburn leads the series in games played outside of Bammerham.

    Pride comes before a fall.

    Hate UAT.

    ReplyDelete
  86. that 6am tailgating tee time is gonna come early

    ReplyDelete
  87. I'm not joking, and don't call me Shirley.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Anonymous9:33 PM

    Steve ....more Bammer hate = less loaded shorts

    ReplyDelete
  89. HATE never betrays

    ReplyDelete
  90. Just when I had erased that from my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  91. www.cocktailbuilder.com

    ReplyDelete
  92. Dunnaway is such a bammer flamer
    HATE him

    ReplyDelete
  93. just for you norm...

    ReplyDelete
  94. Jet loves to dredge up the past Carm.

    ReplyDelete
  95. You're too kind sir. I understand it's quite the site.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I can attest that it is, Norm.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Hmmm.

    Duke is on ESPN, and Dickie V is announcing. Who'da thunk it?

    ReplyDelete
  98. I understand that Kristina is moving west upon retirement to become a jolly rancher.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Yeah, she and Michael are joining forces.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Irondale tomorrow for Thanksgiving din din..........then on to Auburn for tailgate prep tomorrow nite.
    Chow chow, chiterlings and gravy!

  102. Watermelon green, Redenbacher.

    ReplyDelete
  103. That's alright Norm. I only get about 20% of what you guys are talking about. You seem to have your own code and you guys are entertaining and I'm bored.

    ReplyDelete
  104. You ought to see the action in person. Much hilarity ensues.

    ReplyDelete
  105. We're very entertaining. Stick around, you may get to 80%.

    ReplyDelete
  106. That's right, we're usin' code names.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Earl, that's it, my brother.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I've never felt better than when I fill myself with HATE!!! I HATE UA-T!!! ALL THE TIME!!!
    24/7/365 and a quarter!!!

    G'nite all ..wrestled with and lost the wireless transmitter on my 2 mo. old laptop earlier tonight. Now on an old laptop that ain't built for speed.

    J-Z's got an idea, Maybe I'll grab a tire iron and go cruise the grocery stores here in Miss. to disable a few Bammers.

    May the Hate be with you.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Hey Carmela,

    If you are bored, come over to the old thread and play, we are having fun.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Sweep well, Hoopie ... no speculation goin' on here tonight.

    Just hateulation.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Beware of Geezers with candy.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Tire irons are for amateurs. Use a can of cranberry sauce. Once you dent the can on the skull of a cousin humper, the store will usually give you a break on the price.

    ReplyDelete
  114. IV - ask her if she'll help you find your puppy.

    ReplyDelete
  115. That website is kicking my a$$

    ReplyDelete
  116. J-Z - they ought to give it to you for free for the service you did for society.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Norm, I missed you.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Likewise I'm sure.

    ReplyDelete
  119. If you two hug, I'm headbutting both of you the next time I see you.

    ReplyDelete
  120. If you wear your patch I'll wear my ponytails.

    ReplyDelete
  121. HATEULATION............I like it!!!

    ReplyDelete
  122. Did we lose anyone over there?

    ReplyDelete
  123. Carm - I told you I have a plethora of patches. At least one is good for almost any event.

    ReplyDelete
  124. I got sme things to do I will check bback later

    ReplyDelete
  125. digger

    what is your definition of lose?

    ReplyDelete
  126. J-Z, I've missed you too.

    The older I guess the more I realize that true friendships matter. The kind of friendship based on mutual respect, intellect, and camaraderie.

    That's because more than half of the people I run into are bunch of knuckle-draggin', cousin humpin', Earnhardt kissin', banjo playin' UAT fans.

    ReplyDelete
  127. I can either wear ponytails and my cheerleader uniform or my girl pirate costume. Your choice.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I am on blood pressure medicine, if anyone cares.

    ReplyDelete
  129. I hate all of you.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Jet - they're here too. Few in number, but they're here. Though, coincidentally (I think not), I've noticed more of their stickers on vehicles in the last 2 years than were present in the years prior since I've been here.

    ReplyDelete
  131. I thought they scared you away, FSJ.

    ReplyDelete
  132. If it isn't that old Ned Beatty lover himself, FSJ!

    ReplyDelete
  133. Jet - I don't care.

    Carm - I say cheerleader uni. It'll be like high school all over again.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Damn, just when you think the neighborhood got cleaned up, hre comes a Bammer.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Calling it a night Hotties. Try to keep this thread under 1000 posts, or I'll need a synopsis tomorrow. I won't have a lot of time tomorrow to read them all.

    Sweet dreams of Auburn beating Bama!!!

    War Eagle.....

    ReplyDelete
  136. Gnight ... kathy

    ReplyDelete
  137. did i hear we were all dressing up like orange and blue pirates on friday?

    ReplyDelete
  138. The old man has had about all that his old heart can take for one night. Lotsa hatin', lotsa fun. Keep hate alive. Pass it on to the next generation. WAR EAGLE!!!! HATE BAMA!!!! Good night all and Happy Thanksgiving to all but Faker. I hope Abbie eats all of your turkey.

    ReplyDelete
  139. let's pillage the tide!!

    ReplyDelete
  140. Earl do you have an eye patch?

    ReplyDelete
  141. I hope the Bammers eat a pile of turkey just before game time.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Yes, yes we are. There's absolutely nothing wrong with consenting adults wearing costumes.

    Am I right people? Or is that just something that happens around here?

    ReplyDelete
  143. I can't be scared away....

    I was out planning my assault on Auburn.

    ReplyDelete
  144. I like this blog more and more.

    ReplyDelete
  145. that's the spirit, Norm

    ReplyDelete
  146. Mrs. Jet said she wanted me to wear a costume, and I got excited. That is, until she said she wanted me to dress up as a corpse.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Nite Hotties!

    I will continue my hateulation for the bammers as I sleep

    (Thanks, Jet, I like that word!)

    ReplyDelete
  148. anything for the team, Missinit.

    Sleep well.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Nite missinit...

    Hope you have terrible dreams about Friday.

    HATE!

    ReplyDelete
  150. You shut your piehole Bammer.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Cram it in your cramhole, LeFleur!

    ReplyDelete
  152. Make me Aubies.......

    ReplyDelete
  153. Look, Faker, there! A Waffle House!

    ReplyDelete
  154. nice Earl

    I thought I had a cheerleader picture. I have a peacock picture, but that doesn't fit any of the themes of cheerleader, pirates or hate.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Pics or it didn't happen Carm.

    ReplyDelete
  156. I am pretty sure they don't care, Carmela, what costume it is...;-)

    ReplyDelete
  157. Pretend it's a turkey then it kind of fits the theme of the season. Or, the theme of FSJ.

    ReplyDelete
  158. I can't believe some wayward HOTTIES decided to take the old thread to 1,000+.

    I'm reaching for the Xanax now.

    ReplyDelete
  159. So, are we gettin' this one to the flip?

    ReplyDelete
  160. Jay, I'm shocked -- SHOCKED -- that some HOTTIES would do such a thing.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Sportswriter Tate that's just shameful. I'm sure it's JZ's fault. Him or Faker.

    ReplyDelete
  162. Come on Jay...you know you love us!

    (You can't be kicked out of the ROF, right? If you can, then it wasn't me!)

    ReplyDelete
  163. Jet we're in the Red Zone again.

    ReplyDelete
  164. You all can kiss my crimson and white...

    ReplyDelete
  165. I think you meant "kick," Faker.

    ReplyDelete
  166. it's all about the love... i mean hate -- HATE HATE HATE!!

    ReplyDelete
  167. Norm, you've been a machine all day. We're giving you the ball again.

    ReplyDelete
  168. We came back in time to call you a Cracker!

    ReplyDelete
  169. Jet I'm honored.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I have so many people to thank.

    ReplyDelete
  171. I thought Faker declined the Ring of Fire because he had hemorroids before and wanted no part of 'em again.

    ReplyDelete
  172. I just checked my list and Faker is NOT on it.

    ReplyDelete
  173. Come on people...let's do this.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Go Norm Go!

    (Not as hot as Carmela doing it, I would presume)

    ReplyDelete
  175. He is a hemmorhoid.

    ReplyDelete
  176. I am still curious about your lists, Norm.

    ReplyDelete
  177. He brushes his teeth with Preparation H.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Who's screwing with my flip?

    ReplyDelete
  179. He stinks on ice.

    ReplyDelete
  180. You can't stop him, you can only hope to bear his children!

    Norm!

    ReplyDelete
  181. The three words that describe him are as follows, and I quote:

    ReplyDelete
  182. Eh..not going to do that to you all.

    ReplyDelete
