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!

I do and I have in my home toilet, my office toilet, hotel room toilets, conference room toilets, hospital toilets, airplane toilets, once by absolute necessity in a Legion Field toilet, outside in the woods without a toilet (never go hunting without a roll of paper in your backpack). But never, ever in a cooler.

12:48 PM  
Blogger ArtVanDelay said...

back in high school we took a greyhound-type bus to a game, think it was to Dothan, and somebody dropped one in that little toilet in the back of the bus. guess who was sittin in the back with all the other 10th grade pottedmeat cans? Art. sewage systems on those busses were....crappy.

8:40 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Never in a stadium. Never in the woods. Never in an airplane. My eyes will turn brown before any of those happen.

Oh, and never in a cooler... but it would happen there before any of those other non-options.

10:10 PM  
Blogger michael said...

I feel like some of the finer details of the cooler story have been lost over the years. I have never actually heard of myself or anyone else for that matter do business into a cooler.

I've learned never to ask you about your business.

8:51 PM  
Blogger michael said...

And it's a good thing you don't. I'd hate to have to scold you for prying into the current condition of the goats in Idaho. A lot has happened in the last few months. One of the Iranian investors bred a pack of rabid coyotes to tear apart the herd. He thought I wouldn't know it was him, and my collateral would be gone. THT, the goats are just collateral. How many times do I have to tell you?

Needless to say, the investor knew nothing about my "strawberry jelly" plant 4 miles east of the embankment. It's unfortunate about how all the kids born in town over the next few years will have traces of coyote DNA, but I actually think it will be kinda cool. Can't wait to see how some of those genes show up. Anyway, that's the price you pay when you have these sorts of goats as collateral. You do things to protect what's yours, and things happen.

Never ask me about my business.

Norm, you can get in trouble for revealing details of the secret formula for Diet Coke.

11:24 AM  
Blogger Norm said...

I'm sure I could but I don't drink that stuff so I'm unfamiliar with the formula. I went to World of Coca-Cola once if that helps matters. My primary drink during the day's formula is as follows: you take two parts of some Hydrogen and then you take you one part of some Oxygen and combine them. Repeat that a number of times and you have a refreshing beverage.

I've got some half spent plutonium rods sitting next to me. Any of you guys have a recipe with some of that for the ingredient?

I always spend the whole plutonium rod. Burns right through my pocket like a... hot plutonium rod. So I wouldn't know the first thing to do with leftovers.

psst! hey, buddy. uranium. gitchyer uranium here. 235? yeah, i got it. you won't find a better deal anywhere. i got all the supply you need. don't worry about it. you want 238? got that too. but you gotta take it as raw material to make your own plutonium, i don't touch that stuff.

I'm going to change my will, commit suicide, and let AU have a juicy life insurance prize so that AU can pay more than ua-t.

Or I may just go get a diet coke. Yep, that's what I'll do. Then turn my focus to maps.

Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

But, I'd take a bed full of black coffee before I'd crawl into a bed full of coral snakes. Those things will cut right through your wetsuit and diving shoes. Of course, I don't wear a wet suit in bed, so that is useless information. What I really need to know is, can coral snakes cut through my jammies?

2:04 PM  
Blogger ArtVanDelay said...

maybe that coral snake was just tempted by the fruit of another.

3:05 PM

Are your PJs made of a synthetic blend or 100% cotton, THT? This makes a difference.

Nothing synthetic about me. I'm all cottony.

8:16 AM  
Blogger bubbs said...

In that case, beware of coral snakes in bed, THT.

11:04 AM  
Blogger Norm said...

Maybe the coral snakes would just be attempting to pull mussels from a shell.

12:43 PM

You sure you don't mean muscles? Are we still talking about THT being in bed with these snakes?

1:19 PM

No. I meant "mussels". I was continuing a brief theme. Don't question or doubt me.

I thought we were talking PJs - not briefs. I don't remember THT talking about his briefs. What's all this got to do with shell fish?

I think Sara was using the royal "we." I think she was expressing her emotional distance to the world. She's unfettered. She was posting here as a way of reaching out, MJT, and you spurned her. Wouldn't be surprised if she never shows up here again.

Yeah, maybe it's a situation like with "Family Bible". Willie Nelson wrote that way back yonder ago before he'd ever had any hit records and was living a poor existence. Now, many years later, the song has been covered by lotta folks and Willie's never received a dime for it since he sold 100% of it. But folks in the know...we know who wrote it.

But anyway, about Blome, he's a plagiarist and recognition stealer. He's dead to me. Literally and figuratively.

That reminds me... THT, if you have a map telling you exactly how to get to where you want to go (in an audible voice no less), are you really an "explorer?"

Choose your answer wisely. The childhood of millions rests in your hands.

I always tell the map where I'm going, not vice versa.

Are you suggesting that THT has a versa problem? That's pretty serious accusations, MJT. I hope you have something to back that up.

Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

so late last night, after we explored the countryside without one of those dumb GPS devices, MrsTHT finally said that we're "going back, I'm too tired to roam". By this time, it was getting dark and we had no idea where we were. Lighted windows stared at the lonely strangers there returning home. We finally met this lady down along the tracks. She called herself Miss Lucy, and she told us if we ever got home, we won't be coming back. Miss Lucy apparently doesn't know my propensity to go wandering off on unknown roads. Where would we be now if we didn't like to explore?

You know, I used to flip quite a few pages back in my day. Some say I was even better at flipping than Norm. But he kind of made it his identity, which is fine. Seemed like he needed it. But that's what makes his decline all the more painful. He's probably in a gutter somewhere right now crying.

Poor ol' Norm. I guess he's retired. Should we put an ad in the paper for a page flipper? We'll need time to interview all the applicants and set up mock page flips to see who is qualified. This could take some time so we should probably get started.

BOOM!

Check in with the folks offering assistance in writing your Master's Thesis, I bet they have a plethora of contacts for page flippers looking for part-time work.

These guys obviously aren't pulling their weight around here. Maybe they can get themselves out of page 1 on this thread and into the present tense.

jgt leaves and 1.0 breathes again. we can always come back to this thread and post in perpetuity.

Yea, I view 1.0 as our emergency shelter. In case of emergency, head here. It works.

Consider the source & don't put too much stock there.

everybody go to bed. Now!

Tomorrow starts 2+ weeks of nightly hockey double headers. WOOT! WOOT!

Oh? You don't say.

you know what's the best thing about hockey? hockey sticks. That's what.

Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Hockey sticks are great for slapping dry dog poos into the woods. Or so I've heard.

9:12 AM  
Blogger Norm said...

Well there you go. I'm definitely "pro" hockey stick.

What THT is trying to say, Norm, is that you should bake batches of said dog poo in your oven before launching them in your yard.

30min at ~450 should just about do it. Just make sure to use a cookie sheet. Don't want to upset GMB.

launching them? I bet if someone Googles poop launcher, one will actually find a device to do that. I'm too scared to look.

Actually, if someone finds a machine that can launch them 582 miles, please let me know.

is that right?

The following internet searches have been made on 3 separate days in the past week. Which one of you is teasing me?

is a copy of a james cook map of the province of south carolina worth anything

james cook 1773 sc nc map

cook's 1773 map of sc for sale


There are 11 surviving copies of this map, none of which are in a position to ever be offered for sale. Did one of you find a copy in your grandmother's attic?

2:22 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Probably that troublemaker bubbs.

9:19 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

yep, I had him at the top of my list of suspects. Now, if it had involved dead animals or drifters, my gaze would be in another direction.

2:37 PM  
Blogger michael said...

The suspect sounds like someone who knows a thing or two about maps. Are you sure the suspet isn't you, THT?

10:23 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

It's obviously not me. I know 3 things about maps.

10:00 PM  
Blogger bubbs said...

Hey guys, I found an old map. It had to be worth 10s of dollars, but I wasn't sure how to sell it.

Anyhoo. Traded it on craigslist for a chicken house. SCORE!

11:00 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I wouldn't be surprised if my sister traded my old chicken house for that map cause she wants to give me a map for Irony Day.

Well, I didn't actually live in the chicken house. It was for my chickens: Chauncey, Checkers, and Chess. I forgot the other one's name. Chauncey was a big ol' white rooster that would sit on my shoulder while I mowed the lawn. Checkers, Chess, and Forgotten One were hens.

Blogger Norm said...

So not only were you sweaty and dirty after mowing the lawn, you also were covered in rooster poop. You're disgusting.

11:28 AM  
Blogger michael said...

Why do you hate rooster poop so much?
