Bad News / Good News

scallen2112 — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 01:29:16 GMT

Well, the state of things finally caught up with me. Though I thought it could never happen - in fact I was just telling Musslewhite this afternoon that I felt secure - the ol' thre-eyed-fish got laid off today.

The good news is that I have time to go fishing again. Whoopie!!.....uh...anyone want to lend me the parking fee?

:bawl:

If anyone hears of a Drafting / Material Estimating job, please let me know.

See y'all at the fling!

AJ gets 4 games for $1000 even though he paid that G back to a charity but

"Alabama defensive end Marcell Dareus was declared ineligible for two games for accepting nearly $2,000 in improper benefits during two trips to Miami."

By this logic, shouldn't Dareus get 8 games?

The NCAA's consistency is non-existent. Who sits on these boards? Obviously a Bama fan or two.

Rain water collection?

chuckwagon — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:42:10 GMT

Does anyone have any experience with rain water storage? I am looking for a long and short rectangular container. 50 to 100 gallons? Am having to fill up a toilet in a bath house with no running water. My gutters will be too low for a regular rain barrels? I think? Any Ideas. Are there any supply houses in or near Atlanta/Athens area?

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
CW

UGA/USC

OldDawg — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:16:44 GMT

This should be the usual tough, close game. Every year this game seems to come down to a last minute drive or defensive stop.

This year USC has an offense to match their usual tough defense. UGA did not look impressive running the ball. AJ Greene may not play.

Note to all Dawgs. Tickets are available on the USC web site. We have a field between the hedges. Brice Stadium is between the railroad tracks and the swamp.

Warrant issued for arrest of UGA safety Ogletree (updated)

9:58 am September 3, 2010, by Tim Tucker
University of Georgia Police took out a warrant Thursday for the arrest of Georgia football player Alec Ogletree on a misdemeanor charge of theft by taking.

UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson told the AJC this morning that the warrant stems from a June 15 incident in which a motorcycle scooter helmet, valued at $35, was taken at the Rankin Smith Center on campus.
The helmet was in Ogletree�s possession when he was interviewed by an investigator Thursday, Williamson said.

The warrant was approved by an Athens-Clarke County magistrate judge later Thursday, and Williamson said it�s his understanding that Ogletree will turn himself in at the Clarke County Jail by noon today.

Ogletree, a freshman safety, was a highly touted recruit in Georgia�s 2010 signing class.

According to the June 15 incident report, �the victim stated that sometime between [4 p.m. and 10:45 p.m.] an unknown individual . . . took his helmet from his scooter where he had left it unsecured while his scooter was parked at the Rankin Smith building.�

Williamson said it was the victim�s choice in the case whether to press charges.

�I was asked by another reporter, �What�s the big deal about a $35 helmet?�� Williamson said. �Police don�t make those judgment calls. If you have something taken from you and you have it reported stolen, you have the option of prosecuting or not. . . . We have a victim, and the victim decides what to do.�

Ogletree is the ninth Georgia football player to be arrested this year.
Coach Mark Richt is aware of the Ogletree matter, according to associate athletic director Claude Felton. Richt has not yet said how the incident will affect Ogletree�s status on the team. Ogletree had been expected to play in Saturday�s season opener.

GEAUX DAWGS!!!!!

Thirty plus years ago my Dad bought a medium Imperial Kamado that was imported from Japan before the days of The Big Green Egg. Today I was able to add to the family my very own large Big Green Egg. Don't they look like the happy family? ;)

The 2010 Hater�s Guide To The Top 25

It's that time of year again. College football is less than two weeks away, and that means we're due for a whole new round of PURE COUNTRY HATIN'.
I love watching college football. If it had a playoff, it would be the perfect sport. It has everything you need: idiot coaches, shady boosters, drunken girls with big cans, and HATE. Tons and tons and tons of unbridled hate. Schools hating schools. States hating states. Towns hating towns. They don't even know why they hate each other so much, but they do! And that's what makes it such good hate. If you knew why you hated something, that means you'd have more trouble justifying it to yourself. And I don't like the idea of that at all. I like that hate to go unquestioned, free roam and burn as it pleases.

Best of all, many college football fans are college age men between the ages of 18 and 22. And lemme tell you something, there are no better haters out there than men that age. You talk about a worthless and vile segment of humanity. They get drunk. They yell. They start fights. They bite women. They're spectacularly awful human beings. And every Saturday, they huddle up at 7AM to drink Popov and paddle each other on the butt, specifically so that they can be as drunk and obnoxious as humanly possible once game time hits. They say some of the meanest, dumbest, most horrible crap you can imagine. And that's what makes college football so awesome.

So, with that in mind, let's run down the Top 25 and say hateful, awful things about every team and state involved. Keep in mind, I know next to NOTHING about most of these teams. But that's precisely the point. Ignorance is hate's most precious asset. It's your chance to work up a good hate lather before the season gets into full swing. As always, I use the AP poll, because the coaches poll is retarded. Let's go.

1. Alabama: Oh hey, look who's numero uno. It's Orange Satan and his little fiefdom of tardbilly mouthbreathers. I liked the Tide much better back in the old days, when Mike DuBose was bending receptionists over his desk. I don't need the state of Alabama to have any pride whatsoever. They should never be allowed to feel good about themselves. What the heck do you half-human mongoloid overall-wearing chimps have to be proud of? Congrats, your team finally won another title last year. That means you are now one year closer to Nick Saban bolting for Michigan and leaving you to pick up the pieces of your pathetic, awful, and empty lives, the kind of pointless existence that makes membership in the Aryan Nation all but an inevitability. And you know Bear Bryant? He's still DEAD. Super dead. Forever. Alabama is America's arse hair.

2. Ohio State: Oh, sweet baby Jesus, you people again? Haven't you people peed away enough titles? Shouldn't you be banished to NAIA so that we don't have to see you lose the national title by 47 points to an SEC team? It's because of YOU that people from the South are actually starting to feel good about themselves again. That is crap.
I've been to Columbus. It's the kind of place no one would ever live voluntarily. You either live there because you can't afford to live anywhere else, or because the judge put a travel restriction on your DUI probation. Tear the roof off a friggin Houlihan's, expand the size of it to 50 square miles, and that's Columbus. Just one big generic pile of dung. They should have just named it "City."

3. Boise State: America's Sweethearts, my posterior. I'll be darned if I'm cheering from some stupid team from the middle of Idaho. Let me ask you something: If everyone in Idaho died tomorrow, would you care? I mean, just DIED. A virus sweeps across the state and wipes out every last man, woman, and baby. Every Idahoan, dead in a puddle of their own feces and liquefied organs. Would you really give a crap? I say no. Oh, I'd turn on the news and say, "Oh, crap! All the Idaho people are dead. That sucks." Then I'd turn off the TV and eat a box of Teddy Grahams. I'd pretend to care in my mind, so that I wouldn't feel like the really horrible person that I am. But deep down? I wouldn't care. I wouldn't even care if I had relatives living there. If they were living in Idaho, they were probably relatives of mine that were all weird and creepy and lived in a compound. Or they were insufferable outdoorsy idoits. Or they were rich sob�s who skied. Either way, Idaho is pointless.

4. Florida: I actually bear no ill will to you, Florida. I hope you have a fine season, until October comes around and it's the fourth quarter of a tight game and Urban Meyer's head friggin BLOWS UP all over the sideline. Just a massive explosion that shatters his whole head, sending out little globs of brain and blood all over the Dazzlers. Then the replay gets on the web and they have to interview Tebow at Denver Bronco headquarters and he's all crying and stuff because Urban was like a Dad to him and he's saying it's okay because he's home with Jesus now and GAHHH HE SHOULD HAVE JUST QUIT! BUT NOW HE'S DEAD! WHAT WILL HIS KIDS DO NOW? GAHHHHHH!
So I'm looking forward to that. Also, y�all suck.

5. Texas: Oh, you Austinites. So dang pleased with yourselves. Ooh, look at us! We have indie movies and indie music and indie food carts and indie pencils! You know what? I don't like indie things. I don't like Animal Collective. I saw Half Nelson, and it was a piece of crap. I like movies and songs that look and sound like they cost more than four dollars to make. And if they come hipster-free, then all the better. You people are the Williamsburg of Texas, and that isn't a compliment. Though I do like that Sam Acho. It's like his last name is a suffix for all good Latino things: macho, nacho, muchacho, Comacho, borracho� Great name. But you are still a jackleg.

6. TCU: Every year, TCU plays arch rival SMU in a game known as the Battle for the Iron Skillet. Oooh! Hold me back! YOU TALK ABOUT A RIVALRY! I can't wait to see which uptight Christian Texas school this year gets to lay claim to a T-Fal nonstick pan. WHO WILL FRY THE FIRST EGG OF SWEET VICTORY? Count me in!

7. Oklahoma;8. Nebraska: I don't even know why we bother to differentiate states like Oklahoma from Kansas or Nebraska. Shouldn't these all just be lumped into one giant, crappy state? We don't even have to call it a state. We can just call the US Central Territories. It could appear on maps as a giant black block. Just ignore this section, world. Mind our appearance while we renovate so that it doesn't look like the arid, man-zombie landscape it currently is. We'll replace it with a Michael Kors outlet store by 2015.

9. Iowa: Oh, look! It's the Big Ten's rapiest team! No wonder Christian Peter's alma mater wanted to join this conference so very badly. Iowa is the number one producer of corn among all American states. Many of its farmers are heavily subsidized to grow corn, turn that corn into syrup, and then rape every other foodstuff in the grocery store with that syrup so that you and your kids get fatter and fatter and fatter until you look just like everyone who lives in Iowa. Want to know why you can't resist that Mr. Pibb, tubby? FARMER BOB IS YOUR MAN. I also blame Iowa for Field of Dreams, and all the losers who tell me I don't have a heart if I don't like Field of Dreams. Well, screw THAT. That movie was gay.

10. Virginia Tech: I'm really tired of this team being a "dark horse" national title contender. Pencil them in for 10 boring-as-heck wins and a forgettable bowl victory and let's never speak of them again. And now, we fly through the rest.

11. Oregon: I had a bunch of nice things to say about this team, but Jeremiah Masoli stole my laptop. But I look forward to another year of this team wearing unis that give Japanese children Parkinson's disease. Also, the people of Oregon are Beaver-toothed, bike-riding retards.

12. Wisconsin: Fatties. THIS GUIDE IS NOT FOR PRINTING AND THEN SLATHERING WITH WISPRIDE AND THEN EATING.

13. Miami (FL): Just a reminder of the delightful folks who cheer on the Hurricanes, i.e., Jewish people from Long Island who believe rooting for the Hurricanes somehow makes them black gangsters.

14. USC: Oh, what an enjoyable downfall this will be. It's like the Larry Smith Era is about to happen all over again! And what a joy that was. I can't think of a more vacant, inane, self-involved, VD-ridden, Land Rover-driving student body for it all to happen to. I hate the disaffected, stuck-up attitude of these jacklegs. So unimpressed with everything but themselves. The tombstone of every USC student should read: "Here lies Tyler Taylor. MEH."

15. Pittsburgh: Doesn't this town have the Steelers? No one cares about the college team. No wonder Wannstedt is still your head coach. A moose in a trenchcoat could walk the sidelines for your team and no one would notice.

16. Georgia Tech: Don't care. Jesus, remember when the ACC added Miami and Virginia Tech and it would supposed to be this big superconference? That all went to crap, didn't it? It's like someone decided to expand the NFC West to 12 teams.

17. Arkansas: Good Lord, Bobby Petrino is the sleaziest bag of dung to ever walk the Earth. He's like the white Isiah Thomas.

18. North Carolina: Why don't you and Duke go in the closet and make ugly children together already?

19. Penn State: Listen, I don't wanna say mean things about Joe Paterno. He's a national treasure and a sweet old man. But he's gonna poop himself on the sidelines this year. He is. Someone will ask him over the headset if he's happy with the defensive formation and he's not gonna hear them because he'll be too busy unloading into the cheesecloth he wrapped around his Jockeys. Then he'll have to stay still the entire half so that no one will know, with poop running down his gimpy old leg the whole time. Then he's gonna go into the locker room and be like, URRGH I POOPED MYSELF AGAIN, BOYS! Then they'll have to wipe him off and wheel him back out. I don't want that to happen. It's not right. Let the man go out with dignity. Cut his oxygen tank tube.

20. Florida State: Well, well, well. Look who's in charge now. They finally pushed out Bobby Bowden and replaced him with� Jimbo Fisher. Really? You entrusted a storied program to a dude named Jimbo? Did he promise you a free fried possum in exchange for the job? Enjoy the cellar of a forgotten conference, East Alabama.

21. LSU: We should revoke their 2007 title. I know they beat Ohio State, but that shouldn't even count. That is the worst national title team ever. Oh, and YOU ARE RAYCESSSSS.

22. Auburn: No one cares.

23. Georgia: I drove through Georgia this spring, and that whole state looks like a backyard some jackleg left unattended.

24. Oregon State: Ah, Eastern Oregon. Harboring America's fugitive serial killers since 1909! THE BROWN RIVER KILLER IS AMONG YOU. (NOTE: To those of you whining that Corvallis isn't actually in Eastern Oregon, STOP RUINING THE IGNORANCE FOR EVERYONE.)

25. West Virginia: WHO'S UP FOR SOME COUCH BURNIN' AND INCEST?

And there's your 2010 Hater's Guide to the Top 25. Need to vent on a ranked or unranked team of your choice, by all means do so. :D

Were You In 1/7th Cavalry, Nov., 1965?

A friend is trying to locate veterans
