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.

rob said...

feel pretty good about 3 of those 4 regions, but creighton ain't making the final four.

rob said...

man, lots of chalk in my bracket in the first two rounds.

Mark said...

I'm also thinking you'll regret picking Creighton to the Final Four.

rob said...

i'm counting on the mcbuckets/bird reverse sports illustrated cover jinx.

rob said...

courtesy of myself and zman, i've got arrested development's 'tennessee' in my head. that's not a bad way to spend the morning.

Danimal said...

Just bought tix to see drivin n cryin next Thursday night at FREEBIRD LIVE!
I think one or more of you are Slick Rick fans....he's playing there the following week.

T.J. said...

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

Mark said...

As am I. And as I've noted here before the beat on Tennesee is bangin...son.

T.J. said...

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

I do hope we get a Cuse/FL matchup tho down the line...

zman said...

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.

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.

Danimal said...

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

Danimal said...

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

rob said...

a dayton win costs me a billion dollars

Shlara said...

We need more Adam Scott photos on the blog...

zman said...

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.

Donna said...

Sorry Rob! Wow! Dayton-first bracket buster.

Danimal said...

great finish. craft sucks.

rob said...

welp

mr kq said...

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.

T.J. said...

Gheotghe is the best

mr kq said...

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

Shlara said...

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?

T.J. said...

let's hope so:

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

Danimal said...

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

Clarence said...

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.

Clarence said...

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

Dave said...

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

Mark said...

Danimal was joking about Draft Day, right? Right?

Clarence said...

I'm a sucker for Costner.

Except for 1991-1998.

rob said...

that's not fucked up at all, dave

Mark said...

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

rob said...

nor english teachers, apparently

rob said...

that wasn't very nice of me. my bad.

rob said...

this nc state/slu game, though

Mark said...

Blow me. Is that better?

Danimal said...

Mark...yes that was sarcasm earlier on the Draft Day comment. Hopefully these sentences are ok for Rob.
