I just flipped over to CBS for Alabama-South Carolina.

At CU there was drinking before the game. But it looks like the WHOLE STADIUM has been hitting the bottle for hours. Even the cheerleaders look boozed up.

The only people who aren't drunk are the players.

Spinning until you are dizzy and walking into furniture is the best game ever!

My brother and I used to play it with the added bonus of trying not to crash into the fireplace. Not that my parents were around for that part.

FTR, my conservative friends deny categorically that this ever happened. Apparently this is a whole-cloth creation of the liberal media.

Now, I could see the guy claiming Jebby getting caught having sex in the mall parking lot was made up because it wasn't widely reported. Or George P getting caught trespassing on the girlfriend's property, because again, not really reported.

But Noelle was all over the papers and the news, it happened locally. There were press conferences and court appearances and mug shots (which someone linked to) the whole nine yards.

I'm not sure why someone would argue that something so public and witnessed by so many people didn't happen.

And it's the perfect standby for those days when who just can't pull together any beer money.

Yup. I've always been a fan of games with multiple scenarios.

Dunno. The biggest offender ("Look, I don't know what you and your netizen friends (dripping scorn) are saying, but it's just not true") is even a Florida resident. Although that's mainly for tax evasion purposes.

I just respond to him and his friends with the oh-so-witty repartee of "@@ whatEV."

Alabama-South Carolina.

Oh, this means when I next talk to my brother, he'll have crazy fan stories. Those crack me up. He's categorically not a football fan. But...he's at UAB. He's surrounded by them. They kinda freak him out. Even more than his FIL, the rabid NASCAR fan, freaks him out.

Toured houses. Found a new nest of rowhouses that are NICE and AFFORDABLE. Like killer affordable and not embedded in sketchsville. So. That's good. Tired. Amazing what 5 hours getting on and off buses in heat and humidity can do.

I need to clean. Maybe after TAL.

It makes me bananas when people pronounce "conch" with a soft "ch". It's KONK, dammit.

I did that for the longest while.

Actually, both are correct. Look it up.

Huh. Interesting. Now I'm curious how that works.

Here's a Slashdot article and a book about it.

Thanks, Tom. My computer is being a pain and won't let me look at the sample PDF chapter right now, but I'll take a look later.

Huh.

Well, I reserve my right to still hate it.
