    ReplyDelete

  11. It's not being a homophobe to say, "Don't be so flamboyantly gay, Rob."

    Oh, wait. Maybe that is. My bad.

  12. Does anybody else remember that Bill Raftery used to call Curley the "Irish Lunchbucket"?

    I think I'm going to start calling TJ that. And Rob, don't call TJ fat, or out of shape for that matter. Greg did a few weeks ago and TJ still hasn't recovered.

  13. I did enjoy Mark selling Greg out and forwarding me that email though. Good to see profiteering still occurring.

  14. redd foxx coincidence was just that, whitney.

    TJ does have a really small head in proportion to his body (or perhaps it's foreshortening.)

    You know what they say:
    small head=small brain.

    ReplyDelete
  15. So I guess TJ's small head makes him White Beetlejuice? The nickname also works because he's wearing a Juice jersey.

    So the circle is complete. At least for White Beetlejuice.

  16. What, exactly, would you say makes Saxby a scumbag?

    ReplyDelete
  17. For example, if you had said the same about Norm Coleman I would have quietly been on my way...

    ReplyDelete
  18. And GREG noticed that THE NAME on the back was SPELLED INCORRECTLY

  19. saxby's campaign against max cleland was one of the more repugnant in a long list of repugnant rovian gambits. that's my beef with saxby. also, his name is saxby. that's nearly as bad as whitney.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Other Whitneys and I rag the hell out of people named Saxby! Yeah!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Every time I read Saxby I think of Zaxby's (eerily similar to Guthrie's in their locations, chicken and sauce), and I get hungry. And I'm not even stoned...yet.

  22. Saxby's Wikipedia page:

    "Chambliss ran for the Senate in 2002, defeating the Democratic incumbent, Max Cleland, a decorated Vietnam veteran and triple amputee.

    Chambliss focused on the issue of national defense and homeland security during his campaign, and released an attack ad that included Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, highlighted Cleland's record on the issues of war and terrorism. Cleland was one of the senators who had blocked the passage of the homeland security bill by voting against the bill.

    Chambliss received criticism from Democrats and Republicans for this ad, pointing out that he, who hadn't served in the Vietnam War due to receiving military deferments, had attacked a Vietnam War veteran who lost three limbs during his service for not being tough enough on issues of war and homeland security. Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona said of one ad, "It's worse than disgraceful, it's reprehensible;" Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska said the ads were "beyond offensive to me."

    Despite this controversy Chambliss won the election, receiving 53 percent of the votes to Cleland's 46 percent."


    I guess that's what Rob was referring to with "white people are stupid"?

  23. And Dave, you're being removed from the G:TB letterhead.

  24. Scenes from Teejay's past...

    Kid in Bank: Hey, Mom! It's the guy who robbed the bank.
    Tommy: I didn't rob any bank.
    Kid in Bank: Oh, yeah, right. Like it was some other real fat guy with a tiny head.
    Tommy: I got a tiny head?

  25. I have the shoulder/head combo of the guy from the waiting room scene in Beetle Juice. If that's what Rhymo was referencing, he's spot on.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Let's be honest, discovering that a guy with a double major in Chemistry and Economics spelled OJ's last name wrong on a replica jersey had to be one of the funniest moments in my life.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Economics? Or Finance? Doesn't matter I guess...still funny.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I hope the Rhymenocerous takes heed of this before his next trip to Uganda:

  30. My Beetlejuice reference was to the frequent guest on Howard Stern. He's a little African-American guy with an abnormally small head for his body. He stands under 5' tall, yet he smokes butts and drinks. And he HATED Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf (God rest his soul). The two of them used to fight all the time when they were on together.

    One more thing - you can rent the real Beetlejuice for your function. He will attend your bachelor party for a small fee. Not a joke.

    Here's a youtube clip of TJ's alter ego. I'm sure they would get along well together:

  31. Pretty sure I said this before but, here goes:

    I stayed at a Residence Inn in downtown Cleveland one summer while I was interning with Octagon. One weekend, there was a pimp's convention in town and many of the the pimps were staying at the RI. Unaware of this, I came home drunk one Saturday night and ended up meeting both Don Magic Juan and Beetlejuice (separately). Beetlejuice is frightening in person and could barely walk when I ran into him.
