Next time the Piggly Wiggly case settles, and you find yourself at loose ends, I invite you to come down South. I'll be happy to take you to several of the college football cathedrals around here and show you the sights. During the fall, they are glorious places to be.

Co-eds don't count. I should have clarified that I was talking about professional sports.

And as for football in the South, well, let's just say that after watching the Florida/Tenn game recently, I'm not too sure that your comment holds water. At least for the action on the field, anyway.

(Though I rarely attend hockey games, I *still* remember the posts here and on the Stalin board with Ashley Judd in a hockey jersey, and will happily take your word for it.)

You don't know what you're missing ... I'm guessing that my theory is valid even in Raleigh and Atlanta.

Mmmmm, Ashley Judd. Sigh.

Fuck that. It's a matter of principle. I want him to know he's losing business because he's an idiot.

yez, but that works less effectively with the phone company, the gas company, the electric company, and so on.

We'd usually puke in one of the cars on blocks in the front yard. Ahhhh Christmas.

Did you get your fake when you were 15? B/c you're describing 15 yr old drinking. I was thinking more like 19. Or 17 if you're Canadian. Or 11 if you're European. Or 6 if you're Irish.

At 19, that sentence would have read
"If Christmas at your house means drinking a bunch of Jagermeister and puking in the back stairway of a frat house"

Sure...if Christmas in your house means drinking jug bottles of cheap vodka nd then puking in the driveway.

Discussion of how old we were when we did this

My family Christmases actually do involve drinking cheap vodka and puking.

Blah, blah, blah fake ids

It must really suck to be a guy.

I never had, nor needed a fake ID, and I have been served at bars since I was 14.

Speaking of Jewish words that do not look pronounceable to me, I was watching Blind date this weekend and saw that a producer has the first name "Tzvi"

How is that pronounced?

"Tzvi" (with the accent on the "Tzv".)

Playing ketchup:

1. Telemarketers: Don't understand these companies. While they may have to lay people off as a result of the Do Not Call lists, you'd think in a way they'd be happy about this.

Sure, it costs them to cleanse their lists of names, but look at what they'd save on paying employees to call the 50+ million numbers of people that have affirmatively said they don't want to buy ANYTHING they are selling. It would let them focus their efforts on the people who have not signed up, therefore likely increasing the % of sales they make per call. (At least until those people were driven nuts too and got on the list, leaving all the telemarketers to call the one little old lady in Sheboygan who didn't hear about the list...)

That guy was a basket case. As Thom said, it was kind of like Rain Man when he kept talking to himself... FWIW, his gf was kind of scary, especially the hair and the voice. And it was her fault he messed up the Mint Juleps when she talked him into putting gin into it... He did look a lot better after they cleaned him up, but looks were the least of his problems. First unmitigated disaster they've had.

While it has always been obvious that Carson is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, WTF was up with him drilling a corkscrew into Ted's head and drawing blood? Idiot. Ted should have tested that vegetable peeler out to see if it made curls out of Carson's candy ass in addition to the Parmesan...

Why don't you rub it in a little more and mention that women didn't/don't have to pay for drinks either.

Also, the golem is a frequent mispronunciation of part of my name, giving rise to much hilarity amongst the more literate wags in my youth.

Gollum?

You have to pay for drinks?!?

Because that was just be cruel.

But since you mention it, I love leaving the house with $40 and returning after an evening of drinking without ever reaching into my wallet.
