michael, the Wyoming Cowboys play college football (usually rather poorly) 1,200 feet from our hotel room. Their remaining home games are Oct 28, Nov 4, and Nov 18 if you want to give it a try.
For an early September game up there, I was wearing a hoodie and getting wind burn. Not quite what I'm used to.
Good morning, Hotties. Have a great day!
I wish our weather required hoodies in September.
Well at least it's Pocketober now. You'll be wearing a jacket soon enough, bubbs.
Today would have been a perfect day for hiking if the mountain wasn't already covered in snow. Mid 60s and very bright sunshine that made it feel summery.
bubbs, I couldn't agree with you more. One fellow working at university bookstore said he and his wife are thinking about moving to our neck of the woods in NC, I think for both to further their education. We told him to stay in Wyoming to avoid all the bugs and humidity.
Snow melts above 32 degrees, THT. Sounds to me like you are feeding us some fake news.
I guess next time we plan an October hiking trip, it will be to Monte Sano, but only if the ticks, rattlesnakes, and copperheads are gone.
St. Louis is giving Penguins fans the blues :(
Well they'll still be around in October, but moving slow depending on the temp that day. I'll ask them to stay hidden for your sake.
You should try out the Natural Well Trail. It's a trail that has a big hole in the ground a couple of miles in. It's an MJT family fave.
http://www.huntsvilleoutdoors.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=67:natural-well-trail&catid=37&Itemid=120
While you're doing Monte Sano, THT, you might as well head into Bankhead National Forest just a bit south of here and do some hiking in the Sipsey Wilderness. Not a mountain per say, but that place is like an elven wonderland.
This comment has been removed by the author.
I565 is also an excellent place to hike in Huntsville. Don't forget about that one, guys.
If THT is going all the way down to Sipsey he might as well head to Smith Lake and jump off some cliffs. You can jump off cliffs at Monte Sano too, but there isn't water underneath so you'll die.
I'm just saying, if he's coming all the way to Monte Sano, he might as well go a little further to the Sipsey.
And sure, he can stop off at Smith Lake too. I'll even tag along with my SUP in case he needs rescuing after jumping off the cliff.
I'm just saying, if he's going all the way down to Sipsey, he might as well keep heading down 65 a little further and arrive at the beach.
Not to mention E-Bro has him camping out near Cullman. Who wants to be near Cullman?
Welti Falls is pretty cool and Sipsey is near by, so Cullman can't be ALL bad.
While he heads down to the beach, he might as well go a little further and visit the Yucatan Peninsula. Then, from there's, it's more or less a puddle jumper to Antartica.
I so badly want to delete that last post because of "there's", but let this mistake stand for all future generations to see so that they don't have to see a "Comment deleted" instead.
Good point, Ebro. From there, he could go to either South Africa or Australia if the earth is actually round.
That's a big "if".
way to go bubbs. I’m stuck on a plane and you completely passed up a (Sullivan)(BEASLEY!!!) post just to dis the fine folks of Cullman
Can't believe you did that bubbs. You're more disappointing than the Sipsey Wilderness.
even more disappointing was learning that the Cart Barn in La Grange will be closing in December. We just had dinner there and it was incredibly delicious . I give them 88 out of 10 stars.
Game last night was great. Campfire, not so much.
Greetings from The Gump. Where on earth are all the Hotties this morning?
I got a lot on my plate, THT!
KA-BOOOOOM when we were at Toomers Corner this afternoon. Moments later lots of sirens. Test rocket blew up on campus. They obviously could use michael ‘s assistance.
BEAT OLE MISS!
BEAT THE CORNDOGS!
I am most thankful for the 3:30 EDT kickoff. It fits perfectly in the gap between the end of an event in Old Salem and a 7pm dinner that night. GO TRUE TIGERS!!! Beat les faux tigres!
78/98 = degrees and humidity at 8am. There is no doubt that I'm missing WY this morning, where it is currently 26 and snowing after a seasonal high of 64 there yesterday.
After 10 days with MrsTHT, I'm missing her more than I'm missing Laramie today. I'm pretty certain she's enjoying being back at work.
Well you guys were a talkative bunch today.
Guess we're all focusing on beating LSU
Helloooooooooooooo out there
It's a good news/bad news day. We'll start with the latter.
Super busy double shift day at the Buy More, ugh.
The good news.. I'm not working the rest of the week. YIPPEEE!!!
Sorry MJT. Was busy celebrating Columbus Day by watching the new Blade Runner.
you were celebrating a government holiday. Columbus Day is on Thursday.
How ya figure Columbus Day is on Thursday? Is the real Indigenous Peoples Day on Thursday as well?
Columbus Day is a U.S. holiday that commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492. I'm old school; I don't recognize the 1968 holiday amendments.
I suppose E-Bro could have been celebrating IPD yesterday, though Mr. Trump declared otherwise.
I'm always celebrating IPD instead.
Why do you hate immigrants so much, E-Bro? I bet you want to build a giant border wall like the king of the IP tried to do in the 16th century.
Us immigrants pretty much get the other 364 days of the year. Surely we could spare one for the indigenous people.
I can spare January 30.
Since I'm 1/16th Cherokee, I only have to spare 22.5 hours. I'm usually busy on the Sunday when we "Spring forward", otherwise, that would be a good day to spare.
Or is it 1/8th? I can't remember.
I was always told my great great great grandfather was almost certainly Cherokee, but then my uncle got one of them blood tests and apparently didn't have any Native American blood in him. I was bummed.
You ever had the blood test, THT? You might've been lied to like me. There are a lot of liars around, you know.
Where's bubbs?
bubbs must be in Antarctica chilling.
I saw something about a set of triplets whose blood tests showed identical DNA (obviously) but their ethnic backgrounds were not identical. Those tests are for entertainment purposes only. So I'll save the money and stick with my 1/16th claim.
Or is it 1/8th? I can't remember.
So much for that trip to Russia next summer I was contemplating.
So depressing.
FIRE EVERYONE!!!
I have no earthly idea what y'all are talking about.
Malzahn doesn't make the Top 6 among SEC coaches
Was out of state visiting long time friends.
I'm not glad to be back in bham.
Glad to see you post this morning, bubbs. Earlier I had suspected you might really be Ralphie May.
No idea who Ralphie May is, but it brings back memories of Ralphie I getting away from her handlers at the 1972 Gator Bowl.
Well, we both married up so maybe that's where the confusion came from.
How bout them Penguins beating the Ovechkis tonight! That's two straight wins after giving up TEN goals on Saturday night.
They were lulling the rest of the teams to sleep. That cup ain't going anywhere!
Go Preds!
Fleury has been superb in net for the Golden Knights. I miss him a lot. He never gave up 10 goals. BTW, one of the Penguins recent wins was a shutout of the Preds. Sorry about that, michael.
Unless michael had a Chili's cheesesteak today, I'm fairly certain y'all's lunches weren't quite as tasty as my lunch at Hursey's Bar-B-Q in Burlington.
My PBJ was same as always...excellent.
I had a Tai Pei egg roll or two, plus other various things. I don't like those frozen egg rolls very much. I don't even know why I buy them.
Also, I can't believe barbecue made in a coat factory can be all that good, THT.
I hate steamed vegetables. So. You know. It got the job done, but wasn't too difficult to beat.
Freudian slip ... that was supposed to say *had*
It's not made in the coat factory, doofus. The pigs are smoked outdoors over the burning coats from the coat factory. There's nothing quite like cotton-smoked pork barbecue. I urge you to stay away from the rayon-smoked barbecue. I saw a report on the WWW that synthetic fiber-smoked barbecue causes Alzheimers and constipation.
I hate steamed vegetables. And that ain't no slip. I like my broccoli cooked doner than done... or deep fried. And I like green beans that taste less like dirt and more like bacon.

THT, your last post seemed like it could almost be an old school rap song.
I hate steamed vegetables, and that ain't no slip!
When I find dip at a party, then I dip you dip we dip!
I like my broccoli cooked doner than done or deep fried.
I'll eat fruit too just as long as it's been pied!
I like green beans that taste less like dirt and more like bacon.
Take all your bacon beans like I'm Studdard and you're Aiken!
Maybe THT is really Eminem?
There's really no way to know, unless of course eminem dies and THT keeps posting.
I like peanuts and I like eminems, but the easiest way to ruin both is to put them together.
I was asleep by 7pm yesterday. Glad to see y'all managed to campfire without me. Y'all have a great Friday the 13th. I'll having fun in Winston-Salem all day. Well, most of the day. I guess the first 8 hours of the day I'm not there yet.
You mean Wachovia, THT?
He's going to a bank all day?
He eats barbecue at coat factories and finds fun all day at the bank. He is a man of simple pleasures.
Hey, BBQ is good anywhere you're eating it.
And your opinion on spending the day at the bank, Ebro?
Yes, I’m in Wachovia and loving it!
Grab us some of those sweet, sweet bank pens while you're in there.
And a handful of safety suckers!
BEAT LSU!
Hire Heath Evans!
Hire Heath Evans!
If I post that 17 straight times, would y'all catch on to what I'm doing?
Probably not. I'm not that quick on the up take.
Don't discount the value of your not-that-quick talent. You are obviously qualified to be Auburn's head football coach.
I'll gladly take the job, run the program into the ground, and collect my check at the end of four years. Where do I sign up?
17 straight times just like Auburn running on first down, right THT?
Am I too smart to be Auburn's coach?
If I'm not mistaken, signing day will be Nov 27.
Nebraska just hired WSU's AD. Could Leach be his first hire?
waaaaaaay too smart, michael. AU has no history of such a hire.
Can we hire MJT as AD?
Sure. Will we? No.
Dang it, messed up a Beasley post.
My bad, THT.
as long as he rules the athletic department like he rules Eurasia
E-Bro, you are in fine company... the finest company.
Did Fine Company make an album called Fine Company with a track named Fine Company?
that band was just a shooting star
Don't you know.
wow, still favored by 13 @ Arky. Oddsmakers obviously are unaware of bubbs's 6-6 prediction.
Them last three quarters at LSU were a fluke. Natty is still in the bag.
I've never smoked, but I'm willing to try whatever it is you are smoking.
I'm smoking etc and it still has me eye balling 6-6.
7-5, at least, is in the bag.
Here are your probabilities for our regular season finish:
6-6: 3%
7-5: 52%
8-4: 30%
9-3: 11%
10-2: 100%
WE AIN'T LOSING AGAIN SUCKERS!!!!
I'm a 3%er.
michael's decimal is invisible. His bell-shaped distribution of probabilities obviously indicates a 1% probability of 10-2... or is that a .1%?
I'm not messing this one up.
BEASLEY!!!BEASLEY!!!BEASLEY!!!
BEASLEY!!!BEASLEY!!!BEASLEY!!!
BEASLEY!!!BEASLEY!!!
over protests from the other members of the THT household, I may cancel our Amazon prime membership. I ordered Fall two months ago and it didn’t arrive until today.
I was freezing my butt off at a soccer game last night. 58 degrees with a breeze is enough to kill a man when it first shows up in October.
You might have pre-ordered, THT. Some of these products aren't actually released until months later.
Aw man, E-Bro, when am I going to learn to read the fine print? Or just learn to read?
Gotta stick with it.
I'll be sticking to shelf-stocking today. Huge truckloads of inventory arrived at the Buy More. Y'all play nicely.
No worries, THT. By the time you show back up we'll have a new coarch!
WHAT'S HIS NAME?!
Ellis Johnson
Good hire. Dude had a spotless record at Southern Miss.
Seems right in line with our coarch hiring practices.
JJ probably saved his job with this one.
He's an Auburn Man. Nuff said!
um, about that spotless record... can we get a coach who puts the spotless on the other side of the hyphen?
big sale at the Buy More now until midnight. Come on buy!
Why are you so picky about coaches, THT?
Sad!
selective, michael, not picky. Just like with foods.
Frankly, I don't have anyone on my wish list for coarch. Which is kinda sad.
Who would you like to see come in, THT?
how about Antonio Conte?
Not sure we could afford him.
Then I vote for Jeff Lee. I bet we can afford him.
Sure, but you can afford me, too. I don't even have a buy out!
Then it's settled. New AU Head Football Coach bubbs to be introduced at a press conference in the Athletic Department on Monday, November 27.
Excellent! I'm excited to be the new coach at the University of Auburn!
Of course, you'll be expected to hire Jeff Lee as your OC. That's how things work around here.
You'll do fine as long as you read my faxes about football strategy, bubbs.
bubbs, I trust you'll have #88 as honorary captain for every game.
You've got my fax number.
Wouldn't dream of not having #88 as honorary captain.
give bubbs a 10 year contract extension, guaranteed!
looks like I missed an exciting AAC football game in Houston last night while stuck at the Buy More. At least I caught a glimpse of a packed-house campfire.
Go Tigers! (of Memphis)
GO PREDS!
Let's Go Peay!
I just realized that in all my years, I've never bothered to look up who that fellow was. I think I'll keep that streak intact.
Funny you say that, I actually looked him up for the first time right after making that post. There was a highway by my childhood home in Memphis named after him as well. Figured he was a pretty special dude. I mean, the Raleigh Springs Mall was right there on that road! There was also a Seesel's, a Piggly Wiggly, and a Children's Palace(which was later bought by Toys R Us)
I read a couple sentences of something. All I got was that he was a governor. Anything else of significance that would make him namesake worthy?
You could have figured out the Governor part from watching one of their football games. Why waste time reading sentences?
I don't have time to read THT's post. Someone summarize it for me.
college football good
reading bad
Dear bubbs,
THT began his post by addressing "you," assumed to be you (bubbs) since you were the last person to post, and THT's post appears to be in response to you. THT then goes on to insinuate that if you (bubbs) had witnessed an Austin Peay football game, and if you also had a proper functioning brain, then you (bubbs) would have ascertained the very fact that you said you had extracted from the Wikipedia article. Namely, that Austin Peay was formerly a governor of Tennessee. THT then switched gears and offered a question that is rhetorical, as he believed the correct answer was obvious having been demonstrated by his previous statement. The jist of the question was that it is a wasteful use of time to read things when all you really need to know comes from watching football games.
Thanks,
MJT
I never said it was a Wiki that I read. THT needs to be more careful with his assertions.
It's very true that THT made that assertion in the long post of his that you didn't read. He really should be more careful.
I used to live just around the corner from Raleigh Springs Mall. I was there when they were building it. Is it still operating?
Call me a glutton for punishment but I am looking forward to AU football tomorrow. Hit me again!!
Doesn't look like it is still operating.
Somehow I completely missed the fact you lived there, Cincy. I thought about editing the Wikipedia entry to reflect the mall site's proximity to where you lived, but it being a Friday night, I figured my edit would be gone by the time anyone gets back to HABOTN to see the link.
I'm guessing neither you nor michael ever headed up US 51 to Halls, TN?
bubbs, when you are AU's head coach, will your team be able to pick up one yard when it needs a half yard? And will you promise to have the QB under center on very short yardage situations and have an O Line that can get some push?
one more question, Coach bubbs, will your teams have good kick coverage?
Go out of town for a few days and I miss a THT reference to Antonio Conte.
You win some, you lose some.
I can promise all of the above except OL push. That often comes down to talent. I'll have them conditioned, but I'm not sure about how my recruiting will look. But, hey, I'm already shooting you straight. No coach speak over here, boss.
Sign E-Bro, bubbs. He had to put forth some effort to find the Conte reference. That's the kind of player you want, although you may have to work a bit on his lackadaisical approach to winning.
Now that it's not against the rules to block in the back on kick returns, I think I can find a place for E-Bro to play right off the bat.
Make sure you teach him to hit squarely in the back, 'cause it's apparently illegal for AU players to make clean blocks on the front shoulder region on kick returns.
cincy - I didn't know you were a Raleigh girl. How long did you live there? If you were there when they built the mall, it was quite a bit of time before I showed up. I was there from 1987 until about 1994 or so. I lived in the neighborhood behind Seesel's. You take Austing Peay heading north, take a left on Yale, then take a right on Merritt, and that's my old neighborhood. Where was yours?
speaking of Raleigh, I'll be in Manteo this weekend. And yes, I'll be eating fried shrimp at Darrell's on Thursday night and Friday night, assuming they serve shrimp as tasty as they did 16 years ago.
Checked out the dinner menu. You should probably play it safe and go with the chicken strips.
Only if they are crustacean chickens
I'd sneak in a Chili's Philly Cheesesteak to eat on the sly if I were you.
The original?
I might drive 12 hours for a cheesesteak at Pat's. The nearest Chili's will be 2 hours away and not worth the drive.
Maybe you can buy one the day before, put it on ice, bring it with you to Darrle's and ask to use their microwave.
there's michael, once again exhibiting those revered qualities that got him annointed King and Queen of Eurasia and HABOTN, respectively but not sure if in the correct chronological order. Where is the HABOTN Chronicler when you need him/her. I don't even know who the official HABOTN Chronicler is. I'm pretty sure it wasn't paulmain. I hope it wasn't FENG; nothing he writes makes any sense.
4th monday = meeting night. Oh joy. I'd rather go to the dentist. Unfortunately, I'll get to do that, too... tomorrow morning. Too bad my dentist doesn't have Monday evening office hours.
Hope no one has a heart attack this time. You guys should probably take the stress back a notch in those things.
No heart attacks, but somebody turned the dial the wrong way tonight.
michael, we lived in Frazier from about 1964 until 1966 and then moved out to Raleigh. It was a very nice suburb when we lived there. I think it has gotten a little rough and rundown since then. We lived in Raleigh from 1966 until about 1970, so I was there well before your time! I lived on the opposite side of Austin Peay, on Aspen. Austin Peay to right on Yale to left on Arsenal to Aspen. I lived on the corner of Aspen and Arsenal. There was a Presbyterian church (I think) on the corner of Yale and Arsenal. I went to Brownsville Road Elementary. It was brand new when I was there for 3rd - 5th grade.
So you basically lived behind the shopping center that housed Triple Play (trading card store) and Service Merchandise when I was there. Solid shopping center right there.
I know one of those churches right around there was converted into a "Love in Action" center, which was a bit controversial to say the least. Might have been that Presbyterian church.
Service Merchandise. That's a blast from the past.
Never did venture into one of those stores. Did I miss something great?
I remember them having some cool stuff, but nothing earth shattering enough to keep them around.
They sold jewelry and bicycles and a lot of other random stuff from what I remember. It was one of the stores I didn't mind going in as a kid (unlike clothing stores)(which I still hate to go in, btw).
Looked up why they went belly up. While reading about it, I remembered more about why I liked them as a kid. They had a big catalog, and a good toy section.
I discriminate against clothing stores, too. I'm not sorry.
Outlet Malls were the bane of my existence growing up. Couldn't go on a beach trip without my Mom stopping at one for an hour or two on the way back.
Got a little better when they started having Nike Outlets, but that's grasping at straws. The book store is the only place I'd go, but the books it had were like free books you'd fine on Kindle now a days and want nothing to do with.
We hit up the outlet mall on our way back up from the beach every year. It's a nightmare.
I just did an internet search for Service Merchandise and the word "Zayre" showed up in the "people also searched for" box. Now there's another blast from the past. I think my brother peed his pants in Zayre one time.
I shopped in a Zayre store in Burlington, and pretty sure also in W-S. Never got excited enough to pee my pants.
Speaking of clothing stores and outlet malls, loathe is too weak to describe my feelings on them. But, I have to wear pants to work. Since I can't match clothes, I wear the same color pants every day and all the shirts go with those pants. Each football season, we'd stop for a few new pairs of navy blue pants at the Polo store in Gaffney, SC. It was simple and quick, no decisions to make. Found out this season that Polo stopped carrying that style of pants. I suspect I'll wait until my current inventory is a pile of threads before I go clothes shopping, but where?! Most of the ones in my closet have holes or "near holes" showing in the "wallet pocket". Good as new as far as I'm concerned.
Back in the day, I found a few decent books on tape for the long trek at outlet mall book stores. Steven King type stuff. Not high art, but it'll pass the time.
I honest to goodness have no idea what Zayre is.
Neither did I.

Dear God.
I never saw this being sold at a Zayre
Penguins finally waived backup goalie Antti Niemi, who was 0-3 with .797 save percentage and allowing 7.49 goals/game. Penguins brought up a minor leaguer to be backup; I can't help but think he can do a bit better than Niemi. Heck, even this awesome guy could probably do better.
What's really surprising is that the Florida Panthers immediately claimed Niemi off waivers. I hope he can get his game back, just not against the Penguins.
Good to see you post this morning, THT. I was starting to think you might really be Fats Domino.
You know maybe the problem with Niemi was the Penguins culture. He'll probably do great with a change of scenery.
GO PREDS!
SULLIVAN to BEASLEY!!!
Close one.
Look at THT practicing Beasley concatenation!
I feel like a Gregorian monk behind this keyboard. Oh is that centonization. Doesn't matter. Those words are waaaaay too big for me.
Do you say it like "cat" or "kate", MJT?
I used to shop at Zayre a lot. Can't believe you young babes don't know about it. Do you remember TG&Y or W.T Grants or Woolworths or Kress or Woolco?
This comment has been removed by the author.
Yeah, Woolworths is where George Clooney got punched out one time by Southern Gothic hero Ray McKinnon.
I remember Kress & Woolworth, but only shopped at the latter.
Fixin' to head to Manteo. You children play nicely today and get me a fresh page; my superb posts deserve nothing less.
Familiar with Woolworths, but to my knowledge never been in one. The rest are lost on me.
This comment has been removed by the author.
cincy, the only one of those I have heard of is Woolworth's, though I don't think I've ever been in one. But the store is kinda in the national consciousness. Of course, I'm the one who brought up Zayre, so that gets me way more cool points than these other youngsters.
THT, I've been meaning to ask you, was your Zayre in the same coat factory you got that BBQ in?
bubbs - I pronounce it "cat." How do you pronounce it?
Sad to say, I kinda go back and forth because I'm never 100% on what is the right way (though, I think it is "cat").
Flippity jippity! A rat-a-tat-tat!
