Getting Our Bearings

Hey everyone. So as you have surmised, I was asked (politely) to make Wednesday my last day of work at the Advertiser. Nobody should be upset with the Advertiser; they are keeping to their word and sending me on my way with what they agreed to give me. No hard feelings.

I am hopeful that Brian Woodham, who recently left a part-time gig with ITAT to take a full-time job as a copy editor at the Advertiser, will be given an opportunity to take my old job. Brian would be a great addition. I'll let you know if I hear anything about that.

As I explained on Facebook, we will have a board at AuburnSports.com with a stricter standard when it comes to cussing and any off-putting shenanigans. Personally, I'm good with the Bunker and have read it for a long time. They get a little upset when things don't go well, which is understandable, but I feel like that board's reputation for savage commentary far exceeds reality.

With that said, we will have a HABOTN-esque board over there for people whose tolerance for cussing is at zero. Just want to make that clear.

I'll be starting at AuburnSports.com on Monday.

Take care, errybody. Thanks as always for your support!

They'll only have them through December, so gotta get my yearly quota in the next 6 weeks or so.

The wife really likes those holiday/peppermint M&Ms. As far as holiday treats go, I'd prefer something gingerbread.

Not to be confused with "a ginger." That would seem very anti-Christmas, as they don't have souls.

Today (everyday really) I'm especially thankful to have such a deserving target for my hatred. If not for uat, my hatred would have to be dispersed elsewhere which could cause pain and suffering to my family. They don't deserve that. uat does deserve that. So, on this Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for my hatred of that place.

Did I see the final minutes at the stadium? No. I seriously don't think my heart could take it. I told MrsTHT that I'd wait for her in the car. Every step away from JHS my confidence got stronger and stronger. I did not pause at any of the tailgates. When I got to the car and turned on the radio, the usual North Carolina setting had a ua-t radio broadcast. Rather than hit the AU network preset button, I thought it would be fun to listen to Eli Gold cry. Not more than 2 minutes after I got there, MrsTHT and LB showed up, afraid I was going to leave them! I quickly hit the AU preset button so they wouldn't know I was listening to the bammer radio. MrsTHT asked why we weren't going and I said, because I'm going to roll Toomer's Corner. She thought I left all pouty, but I left so AU would win. I knew by the time I got halfway to the car that AU was going to win, and I was going to roll Toomer's Corner. I'm honestly not certain I would have survived that Amazin' finish if I'd been in the stadium. I am certain I would not have enjoyed the spontaneity of it as I would have been waiting to see if they marked him out of bounds on the AU sideline or worried they would have a replay review. Listening on the radio allowed me to enjoy the excitement in real time. We've beaten ua-t in 8 of the past 12 years. Life is good. WARRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure Pakistan could have one if they'd just had one more second.

THT, you nut! I'm glad you didn't have a heart attack. How early did you leave the stadium? What play pushed you over the edge?

12:35 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I don't remember any particular play. I just remember thinking, what can I do to help? I must go to the car! I'd estimate it was around the 4 minute mark.

2:35 PM

So you're saying you'll be listening to the rest of our games, this year, in the car?

I'm fine with that.

that THT is one weird dude.

9:04 AM  
Blogger Norm said...

AU losing against uat in '85 is 100% on the shoulders of my friend Charlie. I had a bunch of folks at the house watching and whenever he went outside to light up we performed better. We'd kicked him out with a few minutes to go and he came back inside when he heard us yelling. I still haven't let go of that and I don't expect that I will.

So, along the same lines, THT should leave all future games early. We can't mess with what works.

9:50 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Do I honestly believe my location has anything to do with the outcome? Of course not.

Do I honestly believe I am somehow doing my part to help the team win by going to the car? Absolutely.

Makes perfect sense.

Seasonal CFA milk shakes really are the best. I love the peach and the banana cream pie selections when they are around.

And bubbs, I have nothing to do with the ashes at Jordan-Hare. I am guessing Saban might have farted them once he realized the FG was being returned for a touchdown.

I'd have to have a ridiculously tall tower installed in my yard in order for a zip line to get you from my house to the stadium. So, in that case, you'd better plan on walking the 1 mile to the stadium.

There are more hotel rooms in Las Vegas than in Troy, so it just makes good sense to fly in there and bus to the stadium.

It's not necessarily that the tower would be too difficult so much as it would be too obtrusive. It's also bound to be ugly and I don't want that. I have a look I'm trying to maintain. If I were to have a ginormous tower like that, I may as well put broken down appliances on my front porch and start using old tractor wheels as some sort of yard decoration.

The only poem I ever memorized, and still my all-time favorite is...

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner
by Randall Jarrell

From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from the dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

Don't worry, the orphans got paid well. I'm not a monster. Anyway, I'm boppin these orphans on the head, about to get a high score, when all of a sudden... I continue boppin them on the head as expected, getting a high score.

But later that day, as I was beaming from my new high score, that's when it happened. I first heard the sound of chains clanging together, like a limping man was dragging a chained thing that was chained through the echoing halls of the chain-echo producing hallway. I thought to myself, "This certainly seems strange." I walked slowly toward the hallway. I entered the hallway to see a pool of blood. This wasn't surprising, pools of blood in my palace are pretty common. So I walked past the pool of blood. And that's when I saw him. THE MAN WITH THE PURPLE BEARD! He was a grown male, and the color of his beard was purple, and he was in the hallway with chains! And that's when it happened...

And that's when I knew I had to make this man Minister of the Interior/Exterior over all of Eurasia. And he has been GREAT at it.

Wait a second. Were you on your literal throne or figurative throne?

I think that's where I got lost.

1:10 PM  
Blogger michael said...

I really hope you didn't get lost there. There's lots of booby traps near both thrones.

2:42 PM  
Blogger Norm said...

Oh my...

3:59 PM  
Blogger ArtVanDelay said...

I think you mean booty traps.

Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I must be easily impressed, cause I am. Or maybe I'm just tired after spending 30 hours in O'Hare. Glad to be home. Tell the purple beard man to keep the echos down. I'm going to sleep.

10:35 PM  
Blogger bubbs said...

Is that why you have so many blue footed boobies, MJT?

11:52 AM  
Blogger Norm said...

I'm not easily impressed but I am however easily amused.

12:26 PM  
Blogger bubbs said...

Shouldn't we be getting into page flipping position?

3:15 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Someone will probably screw it up, kind of like how the Man with the Purple Beard had all the reserviors filled with dead blue footed boobies.

3:37 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I sure ain't gonna be the one to screw it up.

10:35 PM  
Blogger ArtVanDelay said...

BOOBIES!!! dead blue footed ones that is.

oh....and BOOM!!! NEW PAGE.

10:35 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Art's come a long way. He's the Nick Marshall of 1.0.

8:12 AM  
Blogger bubbs said...

He's still no Cam. That's for sure.

12:39 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I bet he feels like Norm behind that keyboard.

6:19 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

y'all stop by the BuyMore and say hello. I'll be here until after midnight. It's about a mile down on the dark side of Route 88.

12:08 PM  
Blogger Sara said...

I came by and said hi. I didn't see you there. Oh well.

5:58 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

THT, don't you know you shouldn't leave the thread with an odd number of posts?

6:01 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Sara, you tricked me.

6:01 PM  
Blogger michael said...

That dang Sara. Can't take her anywhere.

11:31 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

No one could ever hurt me more.

12:48 PM  
Blogger bubbs said...

Didn't feel like eating ice cream last night. So I threw out five gallons of it. In the dumpster she went. Then the Hershey's followed. All of it melted into a rotten bag of onions.

So. What's the word today?

12:45 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Quit bubbs! You know how THT hates dumpsters!

3:15 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

You can't beat the food you can find in a dumpster!


Well, you're livin' on the street,
Cravin' something hot
It's simmerin' in a dumpster
Back by Popeye's parking lot

Smell the rich aroma,
It's a fragrance to entice
Dirty deep fried chicken
And dirty dirty rice

courtesy of Timbuk 3
That is an awesome song.

8:46 PM  
Blogger Norm said...

Not as awesome as Stairway to Cleveland.

8:23 AM  
Blogger ArtVanDelay said...

I'm very alarmed by the bustle in my hedgerow.

8:33 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I say shoot and ask questions later. It's the safest approach.

9:35 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

just for clarification, although I love the song, I've never been a huge fan of Popeye's chicken. And I'd eat a tub of dirty sticky rice in a heartbeat over a tub of clean dirty rice.

And if there is a hint of onion in that dumpster, I'd rather starve.

1:03 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Hey Art, did you kill it?

1:05 PM  
Blogger bubbs said...

Something about his story doesn't seem right to me ... I don't believe that Art has a hedgerow.

1:36 PM  
Blogger ArtVanDelay said...

nothin to be alarmed about, it's just a spring clean for the May Queen.

but I am a little worried about these rings of smoke through the trees and this echoing laughter comin out of the forest.

2:06 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

We had a dusting of snow overnight. The official reading was 18,000 nanometers.

7:55 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

That converts to 18 microns for those of you who don't believe in nanometers.

7:55 AM  
Blogger bubbs said...

18?!? That sounds serious. Hope you were emergency prepared.

Little known fact: Cows are unable to produce milk during winter precipitation events.

11:34 AM  
Blogger michael said...

Who says I believe in microns? Since when can you see those, anyway?

3:22 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

MICRONS

There, it's all caps and bold, can you see it now?

Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Am I the only AU grad who thinks Tim Cook is taking Apple straight down the toilet?

iOS7 is absolutely awful.

Keynote on Mavericks is absolutely awful. The presenter notes are restricted to a tiny narrow band (that cannot be resized) at the bottom of the screen. Without my presenter notes, I'd just stare at the audience for 45 minutes. I had to export my presentation to PowerPoint just to have my notes viewable. I'm glad I figured this out before Saturday.

7:43 PM  
Blogger ArtVanDelay said...

yep

8:26 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

is it finally time to euthanize this thing?

9:14 AM  
Blogger bubbs said...

I don't think any of us can reach the plug.

10:57 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

That's probably true, bubbs. And I'm too lazy to get up and walk over there to the plug.

1:14 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

But there's one thing that's not out of reach....
