Ceai Complet: June 5, 2008

1987 is getting a lot of love this week, and it just so happens we here at G:TB have unearthed a classic 1987 Converse ad. Enjoy.

Not sure a sneaker called the "Weapon" would be such a great idea with today's NBA players.

And filming that same ad in 2008, preserving the choreography with people putting their shoes on other guys' heads and gently pushing people's faces . . . you've got an advertising studio brawl/shooting of epic proportions.

Ah, I miss the golden era of a gentler NBA. You know, with Ralph Sampson slugging a guy a foot and a half shorter in the face, Micheal Ray Richardson ingesting more drugs than a pack of mules, and Jeff Ruland actually having a job.

I like those Weapons. I think I'll get a pair in every color.

Greg, go here and you can pretty much get what you're looking for...

If every post is going to be a ceai complet, I think you should probably just make that the name of your blog.

Thanks for the advice.

Seems you are having trouble with the concept of the recurring Ceai Complet segment. This may help:

According to the Romania Travel Guide, Ceai Complet is "a light breakfast meal of rolls and butter, to which a salty cheese or long, unappealing-looking skinless sausages can be added."

I'd say Jerry and his Jersey contrarianism is definitely the salty cheese. Sorry about what that leaves you as.

Is the phrase "long, unappealing-looking skinless sausages" a reference to G:TP?


wait for it...

i'm not waiting for that, freak-o.

I can't wait until we hit #1 on google for that search:
"long, unappealing-looking skinless sausages"

Whit was the one who first typed the phrase "long, unappealing-looking skinless sausages," so he's the sicko.

great news from out here in the sticks. power's back on after almost exactly 24 hours, and the 6-pack of dale's pale ale in fridge remained cold.

So fucking drink it already and stop building a shrine to it, you short, unappealing-looking skinless sausage.

Sorry. I need a beer.

somebody's got a case of the mondays.

Some dudes are coming over for beers, poker, darts, foosball, and beers tonight in my garage. You folks are all welcome to join us.

I'd encourage the OBX girls to make it up to Norfolk, but it's going to be a long, unappealing-looking skinless sausagefest.

Ugh. That's probably about enough of that phrase's usage here, no?

Elaine Benes had a whole schtick about how she disliked sausage with the skin on it. I think it was the briss episode.

I would like a revisted mustache post from the sleepy Rhymenocerous. Giambi's stache is rude.

will leitch is stepping down as editor at deadspin. i've replaced their regular coffee with teejay's resume. let's see what happens.

and after those motherfuckers stole our youtube idea, giving teejay the job is the least they can do to repay us.

Live-blogging the major league draft is really a cry for help.

You fighting with the missus and sequestering yourself in the computer room, Rob?
