Two Great Fillers That Fill Great Together

The NCAA Tournament kicks off in earnest today (sorry, teams that played the last two nights in Dayton, including the Great Danes of Sm-Albany) ... so we figured we needed an open thread post, for both pithy comments and bracket predictions. And since two of GTB's most popular filler items over the years have been Muppets and Peeps, I figured, why not google those two terms and see what transpires...

The internet, well, it rarely disappoints. I present to you the first GTB Mupeepet filler post:




See you all in the comments.

  9. I, for one, am indeed a fan of Richard Walters

  11. speaking of TN, I put them in the Sweet 16, because why the hell not. I know zippy about college hoops this year

  12. I saw a free Slick Rick/De La Soul/Ed O.G. show in Boston at Mayor Menino's annual "Increase the Peace Rally" which is ironic given that Slick Rick went to jail for attempted murder, hence the album "Behind Bars." Slick Rick has not aged well ... or the guy on stage was an impostor, which is entirely possible. His voice was at least an octave too low and he didn't have an English accent.

  13. I LOVE THESE PEEPS!
    And I would be happy with $10M--absoutely would quit my job and become a "lady that lunches"

    Walked out this AM to find a punctured tire on my car. Turns out that was the only decent tire--so I'm waiting to get all 4 replaced. Which isn't cheap on a fancy car.

    Upside is Raf calling the game on the big TV in the waiting room.

  14. At lunch watching the Dayton/osu game. Excellent game...very possibly a buzzer beater here. Theoretically drinking beer.

  15. More upside....Adam Scott w a smooth 62 today.

    ReplyDelete
  16. a dayton win costs me a billion dollars

    ReplyDelete

  18. The Cardinals' defense will feature Antonio Cromartie, Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, John Abraham, Calais Campbell, and Darnell Dockett. The NFC West will be brutal, especially if they can find a big road-grader RB in the draft.

  19. Sorry Rob! Wow! Dayton-first bracket buster.

  20. I just had lunch with an attorney who grew up in in Crofton and used to play pool with Gheotghe. And Peter Bondra. And Billy Crystal. All at Gheorghe's House. Said Bondra was a DICK.

    ReplyDelete
  21. See what I did there? Ghitza and Gheorghe. Boom.

  22. 5 mins ago, I just tweeted about House wearing a Gugliotta jersey.

    30 secs ago Simmons asked House about the jersey.

    If we send them dares via tweet, will they do them?

  23. let's hope so:

    "simmons, I dare you to suck on an exhaust pipe for three minutes"

  24. Really looking forward to "Draft Day" with Kevin Costner.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Senor KQ, way to slag a Ukrainian. Too soon, dude.

    And I enjoyed Shlara saying she wanted to be a lunchlady right before a humblebrag about her fancy car. Good jux.

    ReplyDelete
  26. And what the hell is on that peep that makes it look like Fozzy's fur? Yikes. Waka waka.

    ReplyDelete
  27. are these muppets and peeps having inter-puppet/candy sex? i hope so. sticky and jerky porn!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Danimal was joking about Draft Day, right? Right?

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm a sucker for Costner.

    Except for 1991-1998.

    ReplyDelete
  30. that's not fucked up at all, dave

  31. Plumber had to come to the house today to deal with some fairly significant issues. Plumber's don't make nearly enough money.
