Friday Mishmash Potpourri Filler

As we await yet another exciting week of college football picks from Danimal and Mark, a new post is needed, because honestly, how many times can you watch a video about magnetic zippers? Because I am devoid of creativity or writing prowess, compiled below is basically whatever the f*ck I felt like putting in a filler post...

***It is well-documented what fans we are of musical mashups, particularly if they involve the Muppets or Sesame Street. Well, today, I present to you a mashup just one notch below the Sesame Street gold standard (here's some others too if you care to waste time today):



***It's a tired topic, but unbelievably, I think crusty old Charles Krauthammer might have hit the nail on the head with this "Redskins name" column. Though I'm sure Mike "Over 1 Million Dead Horses Beaten" Wise will have a retort in the Post by Monday.

***Further proof that ESS EEE CEE fandom is in fact fanatical...

***Some people 'round these parts seem to care about el futbol. Then how about a little something for that crowd, Teej? Here you go - it's the 2014 FIFA World Cup Group Stage Draws Simulator. Let me know when you find us a quality Group of Death.

***The horror. The tragedy. No, not the new sitcom "Dads", but this news out of the ole Bluegrass State: "Bourbon heist | Pappy Van Winkle stolen in apparent inside job". I, being a novice liquor drinker, did not realize Pappy was "one of the nation's most sought-after bourbons", but apparently both zman and rob were well aware of this Pappy story, as similar links were forwarded demanded this be mentioned in a post. Senor Van Winkle sells for about $130 a bottle and is apparently worth “$300 or $400 a bottle” on the secondary market. So, while not exactly the Lufthansa Heist, the culprits are likely going to do quite well for themselves...until of course they get drunk off their stolen product and stupidly brag about it on some social media outlet. It will happen.

I said Mishmash, not Mushmouth...

Pappy is fantastic. And hard to find. There's a bar in the Atlanta airport that serves it and I try and go there every time I fly through Atlanta.

Today marks the first if five days of me being left alone with my 20 month old. Pray for me. And send booze.

Mark said...

Big day here at Gheorghe.

union jack!

Mark said...

Big night for fans of teams whose nickname is Cardinals. October is the best. Sports worth watching every damn night.

Clarence said...

Anybody read the magazine The Week? If so, look at this week's page 24 (an ad) and read it carefully. That's right.

rob said...

what if we don't get the week?

Clarence said...

You should. Same ad coming to Time and Sports Illustrated soon. I'll keep you posted.

Mark said...

My Dad gave me a free subscription to The Week last year. Not a bad mag for keeping up with the basics of US/World events. You're not getting deep analysis but it serves it's purpose well.

Jose Oquendo is wearing a hoodie underneath his uniform. It's 53 degrees in St. Louis.

Clarence said...

So, Mark, did you see what I was talking about?

If so, points for being cool and unmoved.

Clarence said...

We are hosting the 25th high school reunion party tomorrow. Is it weird I had to set up large print invitations, audio loops, wheelchair ramps, and catheter plug-and-poops? We're old.

Clarence said...

Gheorghies, anyone up?

Bum Phillips passed away. If anyone saw the 2012 documentary on Earl Campbell (you should), you know that there is easily a hole in Earl's heart the size of the one in Wade's or anyone else's. The mutual admiration those two had was/is something to behold.

The wife and I attended our tri-annual concert last night at the St. Aug amphitheatre. We saw the Lumineers. They are quite good....a talented bunch of hipsters. My review.

Mark said...

My daughter started off the day with a world class meltdown. I handled like a champ. It's all gravy from here, right?
