Furlough Day Four: Wednesday

I am on a mandated and unpaid furlough as required by the Advertiser's parent company, Gannett. As such, I am not permitted to participate in blog-related activities for one week.

So we have these pre-loaded entries. That's all.

It's up to you to keep the HABOTN fresh until I return on Sunday, Feb. 21.

Have a nice day.

Wakeriderof87 said...: And I failed miserably.

Norm just can't be had.; 11:27 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wake - leave the flippin' to the professionals; 11:27 AM
digger4au said...: Boom with substance Norm; 11:27 AM
Jet said...: Wake ...

Norm is the Shaun White of flips.; 11:27 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I thought Shaun White was the Shaun White of flips... he seems to have flipping down pretty well.; 11:29 AM
Jet said...: Shaun White wears Norm pajamas.; 11:30 AM
michael said...: I am the Shaun White of indian leg wrestling.; 11:31 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Norm can be had, but it takes a bad eye. Unfortunately for all us, he is fully recovered and on his A+ game.; 11:31 AM
Jet said...: King of Eurasia
Queen of HABOTN
Shaun White of Indian Leg Wrestling
Vicar of Jan Terri
Earl of Scruggs

Your titles know no end.; 11:34 AM
michael said...: You forgot Thigh Master and Captain Boxhead, Jet.; 11:36 AM
digger4au said...: Sheppard if goats but don"t ask him about his Bidness; 11:36 AM
digger4au said...: "of"; 11:36 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jet, now you've got me singing...

The vicar is thicker
And I just can't see through to him
For his cardinal sings
A collection of hymns
And a collection of coins is made after; 11:49 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: speaking of which...

Was Bernie Taupin writing about Scott Choco?

And I don't want to be
The son of any freak
Who for a chocolate centre
Can take you off the street; 11:50 AM
Unknown said...: Jet, follow the link. That is the attribution. I didn't expect to have to explain that to you, but I hopefully you can follow it now.; 12:10 PM
Jet said...: Steve ... I'm talking about Sentell making a statement that is not attributed to anyone.

How does he know that an offer was delayed that because AU coaches were in the Bahamas? It may well be true, but it needs attribution.
That's what I was pointing out.; 12:14 PM
Unknown said...: Apparently the guy who crashed the plane into the building in Austin set his house on fire before heading to the airport and stealing the plane used. Yes, some choose to go out in blaze of stupidity.; 12:14 PM
Seanzie said...: Blaze being the key word. How is everyone today?; 12:16 PM
Unknown said...: Ah, got you jet. Actually, I find the entire thing funny, just like the silly duck hunting comments. People take days off work and it isn't a big deal.

Being the first to offer a kid isn't that meaningful with these early offers. The good kids know that offers are coming. Now, if we waited 6 months, that would make a difference. I just get tickled at the guy attempting to make something out of nothing.; 12:17 PM
Unknown said...: The Austin dude was courteous enough to leave a note. I have always heard the only two constants in life are death and taxes. This guy appears to have been able to combine the two.

"Man linked to Austin plane crash by officials left Internet note detailing long-running tax case http://bit.ly/aVvC1b"; 12:30 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I disagree somewhat Steve. Taking time off is fine, taking time off during prime recruiting season while other coaches do not, unacceptable.; 12:31 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: Eddie, please don't encourage...

We know how Steve feels on this subject, as it been discussed and rediscussed and discussed again ad nauseum.

Let's not do it again.; 12:32 PM
Seanzie said...: Seriously, I mean doesn't everyone want to rehash the Tot secretary scandal and Eric Ramsey while we're at it?; 12:35 PM
Unknown said...: Eddie, all coaches take time off and the contact time with recruits is limited. It is silly to discuss.; 12:35 PM
Unknown said...: Shug Jordan and Bear Bryant use to take a fishing trip together every year prior to the Iron Bowl. They should be bashed. I find these discussions hilarious.; 12:38 PM
ehyou said...: Dang, I wasn't around to screw up Norm's flip.

I know Norm, and I, sir, are no Norm...or something like that.; 12:44 PM
michael said...: Also, you know, killing ducks is morally reprehensible, so there is also that.; 12:48 PM
Unknown said...: Michael, I can't really argue with that.; 12:50 PM
michael said...: I have been trying to get a law passed that outlaws Duckhunt on the NES. That thing trains our children to kill ducks. It also trains them to accept ridicule from dogs when they don't kill ducks. Terrible.; 12:52 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I completely disagree on Duck Hunting. I love it and will continue to Duck Hunt for the rest of my life as God will allow me to.; 12:58 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: The biggest problem I see with duck hunting is its wet and cold. Duck is delicious.; 1:00 PM
Jet said...: If duck hunting is illegal, then only criminals will be duck hunters.; 1:02 PM
Unknown said...: I am of the firm opinion that all hunting is best done in a supermarket.; 1:06 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: HOTTIES HOOOOO!; 1:06 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Rabbit Hunting should be illegal. Elmer Fudd was a bad dude.; 1:08 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: That is just plain silly Steve. What happens if you miss the deer, and shoot a innocent soccer mom. Hunting in crowded places is just plain dangerous.; 1:09 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Did Elmer Fudd ever kill the Rabbit? He was actually just rabbit stalking.

Of Course....Elmer Fudd did get Bugs one time; 1:10 PM
Jet said...: What about the treatment of those who bring in excess of the posted limit into the express lanes?

Where are the HOTTIES on this important issue?; 1:11 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i've met a few soccer moms here at work that need a good bullet between the eyes....; 1:12 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Jet- I've called people out on that before. 10 Items or less doesn't mean a shopping cart of about 50 items nor does it mean that you can buy 20 single items of the same product to go along with your other 9 products.; 1:13 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Eddie, the Express Lane policeman!; 1:31 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: "I had no choice. They arrived right before you did. I'm sorry."; 1:31 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Scottie- It really sucks when you only have like 1 to 3 items and all the other lines are stacked. If you do it, prepared to be called out. And if they had a bama shirt or hat on, I explain to them what the express lane is since I assume their education and reading abilities are that of a preschooler.; 1:33 PM
ehyou said...: OK, I'm confused...do you run Cloud City or promote Colt 45?; 1:38 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: "Ehyou, you look absolutely beautiful. You truly belong here with us among the clouds."; 1:41 PM
Unknown said...: I just read where the top speeds on that Luge track in Canada are about 95 miles per hour. Ummm, you go to the top of a big hill, lay down on a thin board with blades on the bottom of it. Down the hill you go. Who would think something bad could happen?; 1:45 PM
Unknown said...: Okay, who is preparing popcorn for the big Tiger Woods apology tomorrow? Is it really necessary? Don't we all already know he is sorry he got caught and a Jimmy Swaggart moment won't help matters?; 1:51 PM
ehyou said...: [cooly] Thank you.

(I had people looking in my door to see what I was laughing about); 1:52 PM
michael said...: You guys also need to stop eating vegetables. A vegetable is a living thing that was ripped from the ground it lived in. No, we should only eat dirt.; 2:01 PM
digger4au said...: Why can't Tiger Woods just admit it, he was trying to break Wilt Chamberlan's record. It would have taken some time but I believe he could have done. (The record sex with 102 different women); 2:05 PM
Ari Gold said...: I think 2 p.m. was the MAGIC HOUR for a new post.

Or maybe not. I can't understand Lloyd at times.; 2:05 PM
digger4au said...: I thought he would turn into one of michael's goats if not posted by 12:00 noon.; 2:08 PM
