Caption This

If we have to deal with another Duke championship, we can at least have a little fun at Mike Krzyzewski's expense. What's the proper caption for this image?

This was a great win, but still I can't help thinking that Scrabble is never going to be the same.

I just urinated down my leg and no one can see it!

dave's scrabble comment makes more sense if you review the final few comments of the last thread.

his urinating comment makes more sense if you know dave.

My family played a lot of Scrabble when I was a kid (we didn't have cable either, so maybe Dave is my dad?) and I can't imagine the fights that would break out if we could use common names.

I had to google "webkinz." It's still unclear what they are. Is it like a virtual cabbage patch kid? Or is it a real Coach K doll?

webkinz, z-man, are real-world stuffed animals with a virtual analogue. each one comes with an id/pwd for webkinz world, where kids can play games, feed their webkinz, decorate rooms for the webkinz, and generally learn the skills they'll need to dick around on the internet for years to come. i'm sure webkinz world is also a haven for kid-touchers, which is why my kids aren't allowed to use the chat function.

Are there Webkinz pimps and hos? The kids need to learn about how the real world works.

t-minus 3 hours 45 minutes to the unveiling of the new tribe mascot.

Maybe I'll get a webkinz and an iPad so that I can feed my webkinz while I'm on the subway. What else does one need an iPad for? I don't get it, especially since they don't have a phone.

zoltan, i am your webkinz father.

i still don't know what the ipad is for. maybe i'll do a post, just as soon as i finish the photography for my upcoming post . . .

the magic twitter tells me that oregon's gonna offer brad stevens $3.5m/year to clean up after ernie kent. enjoy the pacific northwest, young man.

How is it I'm watching EPL action right now and TR is not?

2:54 PM, April 06, 2010
zman said...

$3.5MM is a ton of money. But might he not pull a Laycocke and just stay where he is (which is also where he's from), milk the legend (to quote Grandpa Zoltan), and build the ultimate mid-major (as Mark predicted)? I'm not saying that's what I'd do if offered $3.5MM a year, but it could happen.

3:03 PM, April 06, 2010
d-train said...

i'd hope for him pulling a laycock, or maybe you should call it a jimmy instead.
did laycock even pull a laycock? meaning, was laycock ever offered the equivalent of 3.5 m at the age of 33....was he even a head coach then? i'm sure one of you wrens trivia'ers will educate me. it's different when you're 45-50 and have some modicum of wisdom. at 33, when someone offers you 3.5m when you're making what, 1/8th of that if i had to guess, how do you say no?

3:27 PM, April 06, 2010
rob said...

i agree with the danimal. laycock was settled, personally and professionally. butler's a great story, and they'll be really good next year, but they'd have to tell a really good story about long-term commitment to winning to get a guy to pass up 3.5 large.

3:32 PM, April 06, 2010
rob said...

seriously. really good.

i just found out that monty mason is on the tribe mascot committee. how did i not know this? we could have been lobbying him for months. i saw him in richmond just a few weeks ago. dagger.

3:35 PM, April 06, 2010
Mark said...

And $3.5 M is only what he's being paid for coaching. He'll get another couple mill (at least) from his Nike Deal, incentives, various Oregon based endorsements and summer camp money. On top of that, the PAC-10 is a bit down right now and I'm sure Oregon is going to sell him on the idea that a quick turnaround is very, very attainable.

Maybe he takes the lesson learned by his former boss, Todd Lickliter, at Iowa and decides to stay where he's successful and comfortable pull, but that's hard to do with millions staring you in the face and Oregon's going to give you far more tools to succeed with than Iowa could dream of.

"Building the ultimate mid-major" should be code for something. I'm not sure for what, but something.

3:45 PM, April 06, 2010
Mark said...

I agree. Taking a huge dump gets my vote.

3:47 PM, April 06, 2010
T.J. said...

I consider bosc pairs a midmajor, and thus have built them to be a huge vinner this eve.

3:50 PM, April 06, 2010
d-train said...

i actually built 3 mid-majors today...all before lunch.

3:55 PM, April 06, 2010

Or bosc PEARS.

This afternoon EPL watching can be....distracting...

There are few songs that make me randomly break into song throughout the day once I hear them like 'Medieval Woman'.

Lionel Messi just shat on Jerry today. Metaphorically speaking.

Jerry doesn't care. After Duke's win last night he's too busy swimming in piles of money ala Scrooge McDuck.

Rob, I contend that if Monty Mason is unaware of the Wren campaign that's been staged for two years by fraternity brothers he still drinks beer with at tailgates, he has not done his job. At all.

5:02 PM, April 06, 2010
Clarence said...

That said . . . he may have advised the committe to go away from the Wren as mascot for the very reason that it was suggested for two years by fraternity brothers he still drinks beer with at tailgates. He's seen some of our very worst ideas, and it may be knee-jerk to associate the glorious Wren concept with inanity.

5:04 PM, April 06, 2010
Clarence said...

Rob just phoned me with the big news. The Tribe has picked for its mascot...





The Griffin.


You thought the institution that brought you the Homecoming drag queen and synchronized Thriller dancing would do something cooler? ?

did taylor reveley diss the wren? i really wish i gave money to the school so i could write an indignant letter withdrawing my support.

6:11 PM, April 06, 2010
zman said...

He dissed the wren indeed. The W&M mascot site sucks. They note how unique the griffin is, and they also note that 4 other schools have a griffin mascot, including Sarah Lawrence and Seton Hill, which I suspect is really Seton Hall. And their mascot is a pirate. He asserts that the griffin reflects the fact that Thomas Jefferson and Jon Stewart are alums. As with all things W&M, I just don't get it.

6:31 PM, April 06, 2010
TR said...

I have already made my feelings known to Taylor Reveley about this embarassment. I suggest you all do the same (even Mark and the Danimal).

Can W&M break the cycle of loserdom? Ever?

6:33 PM, April 06, 2010
zman said...

Maybe they'll go hiphop and name the griffin Professor Griff. Probably not.

6:34 PM, April 06, 2010
TR said...

Wasn't Prof Griff a big Jew-hating Muslim?

I'd settle for Peter Griffin at this point.
