In For a Penny...

Since it turns out that this is Beavis and Butthead week (again?) here, we'd be remiss if we didn't offer an opinion on the top episodes of all time. Not our opinion, mind you - that requires effort - but the opinion of the OC Weekly, which I believe is fictional.

See it here, and provide your biased commentary in the, um, comments. Cool.

As might be expected, they go with 'Cornholio' as the top episode. Hard to argue that, but it's also the safest route. Still makes me laugh, though.

If you're one of Trump's 10 new SCOTUS candidates, are you excited? Or are you bummed that you didn't make the cut for the first round of 11? Or are you bummed that you made the cut at all? It's a quandary.

Marls said...

I think you are bummed since it will be talking point number one in the event that you were to come before a Democratic senate.

How did Trump leave Roy Moore off the list? He would seem to be right up Donald's recently come to Jesus worldview.

rootsminer said...

I had a guy today forward me a "Let's Go Trump" email to print 5,000 copies to pass out at a rally in town tomorrow. I took his money, but did not give him the discount he was expecting.

I'm hope their target audience has good reading glasses, cause that type was awfully small when I fit it all on one page.

rob said...

so kg, kobe, and tim duncan walk into a room, in springfield, in five years...

Dave said...

i thought beavis and butthead was kind of stupid, until i saw the cornholio episode. then i was addicted.

zman said...

Yes, that's the episode that made me a fan too.

Dave said...

i'm home alone and drinking, so please excuse the cheesiness of this post, but i feel like the g:tb crowd are the only people who will appreciate this: i threw my youngest son ian in the middle school soccer game today-- i'm the coach and he was the only sixth grader who showed up to the game (because i told him to) because sixth graders rarely get to play-- we have 38 kids on the roster-- and so i figured i'd give him five minutes in the second half . . . and we were better than the other team, but they had a kid who could hit a forty yard spinless free kick and he scored twice (you can still shoot over the goalie's head in middle school) and so it was tied 2-2 despite some beautiful play-- we were switching through the back, checking to and waiting on offense, crossing to the far post, the whole thing, but no one could score on this giant asian goalie, and then ian anticipated and ran through a bouncing ball 40 yards out-- the kids said it looked like it was attached to his chest and thighs, he juggled it a few times-- as i've trained him since birth-- shielded off some giant 8th grader, and finished with his weak foot to break the tie. i had to keep cool and not show any favoritism, but it was an awesome goal (and he looked like a midget among all these post-pubescent 8th graders).

Danimal said...

That's a great moment Dave, a keeper.

Dave said...

it's insane, all this training and coaching and practicing, and you might only get that to happen one time . . . you've got to be nuts to play sports. if you learn a language or the tuba or something, you can do it on demand.

rob said...

did not see it until now, the whole dave as marv marinovich thing.

zman said...

Not Marv Levy?

rob said...

too hairy

rob said...

also, 38 kids on a soccer roster? are you recreating 'victory' and escaping the brunswicks?

rob said...

it's a super-cool dad moment, to be sure

zman said...

Cruz endorsed Trump. Coward.

Mark said...

I muted my TV to read Dave's comment. Really cool moment.

I'd also never thought about Dave's point of the haphazard excellence/moments sports provides. Good point but fuck a Tuba, I'll take a game winner any day.

Marls said...

Congrats to Ian. Love that Dave found a way to take partial credit. Manny being Manny.

Danimal said...

Bought the wife a Roomba for Christmas last year per her request. I'm pretty certain we had relations that night. The Roomba is not necessarily meant to be a substitute for vacuuming, but a complement. But what a waste of money. It's always missing from its docking station when it shouldn't be, caught on some doll's hair or a power cord. Sometimes it is missing in action for days, wedged under a couch or in the corner of a dark unused closet with a shoestring connected to a shoe, tangled in its jowls. I do not endorse the Roomba.

zman said...

Did you buy your Roomba on Canal Street? Is it a real Roomba or some off brand Ghettoba?

Danimal said...

After closer inspection, it does in fact say "vRoomba". Damn.

TR said...

My 3rd grader had one fantastic goal over the summer - beating the goalie to a long bouncing ball that the keeper was waiting for, jumping and flicking it into the goal w/ his foot. Not as spectacular as Ian, but great enough that I still remember it today. Those moments are great for the kids - a bit of success after all the practices.

I'm in Mahwah now for my oldest' shame, after being in Flanders for my youngest's game at 8. I have no life. No Roark sighting in Mahwah.

rob said...

sorry about the shame. he'll get over it.

Mark said...

Totally unrelated to anything that's been discussed here recently: Jay Rock's verse on Money Trees is perfection.

TR said...

I am his shame. He just doesn't know it yet.

zman said...

Shameus McGoat?

Whitney said...

Well they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late that month
Ralph went out looking for a job but he couldn't find none
He came home too drunk from mixing Tanqueray and wine
He got a gun, shot a night clerk, now they call him Johnny 99

Whitney said...

Just had the bite of the day, some chili wings, and the fish tacos. Had a shark attack. Was asked if they made it in a men's. Had a red stripe with a lime. Having a Guinness. Good day.

TR said...

I am now at my 3rd kid sport event of the day. And I think I'm roped into a birthday party. I'll be sunburnt from event 2, and may catch a cold from the cold, damp weather at event 1. And there is 815 AM CCD tmrw morning. Weekends used to be fun.

Mark said...

Rob- with your daughter's affection for Childish Gambino, is she (or are you) watching Atlanta? It's good.

rob said...

she's watching it and agrees with you. and if it's brag on your kids day, my oldest ran a pr in a cross country meet today. she's really slow, but she's getting less slow.

zman said...

Nebraska doesn't get enough praise. My Fathers House, State Trooper, Open All Night, Johnny 99. Hot fiyah.

rob said...

every time i think trump can't do anything else that'll gobsmack me, he proves me wrong. he's invited gennifer flowers to the debate on monday. he's a fucking 7 year-old.

Mark said...

You should watch Atlanta too, Rob. Well worth 30 minutes of your time.

zman said...

RIP Radio Raheem.

Mark said...

Florida's secondary is getting torched. Jesus. I need liquor.

Danimal said...

I'm having Charlie Weis flashbacks.

Mark said...

That's how I'm making myself feel better, Dan. At least Florida isn't Notre Dame. Or USC.

This is still a disheartening performance by Florida.

Danimal said...

I just poured a triple Blantons. That's my plan to feel better. So far so good.

Yeah, I only saw a bit of your first qtr and most of the 2nd half. I bet on the gators to cover and was this close to betting on them to win. So I've got that going for me. I didn't think there was a chance in hell ut would come back. They were terrible. So credit deserved for them. And yeah, uf not even close to being nd. Last week I said nd would win 8 games. I'd like to adjust that.

Danimal said...

Duke was held to 13 points by Northwestern last week btw. That's my last nd related tweet. That's enough joy for you effers for one evening.

The good news...tomorrow my frown could get entirely turned upside down. That's right, heading to the Jags game.

Mark said...

I'm sure the Jags will make you feel much better.

The ND defense is poop. Get Brian Van Gorder the fuck outta here.

About to pour some Woodford. Also my feel better plan.

Danimal said...

Elon and Tribe on the telly. Tribe down 2 td's....make,that 1 td. I'm your good luck charm...70 yard play just like that. Boom.

Donna said...

Keep watching Danimal. I think I'm bad luck...I'm at the Tribe game, and Elon just marched down the field and scored another TD. 24-10 now. My parents are giving me crap (my Dad went there and played there a million years ago).

Danimal said...

LSU oh my goodness

Danimal said...

Oh man. Holy shit.

Mark said...

Crazy. Crazy fucking ending in Auburn.

Dave said...

hola gheorghies--

dads should take at least 10 percent credit for all child goals/baskets/home runs

Mark said...

That's fair. Nice win by Stanford.

T.J. said...

Holy shit. Jose Fernandez died in a boating accident?

rob said...

yeah, that's tragic. 24 years old, with a baby on the way. awful.

TR said...

Was the boat crash at 330, or was he found at 330? Either way, sounds like there were some very poor sections that were made. Tragic.

Mark said...

I woke up to that Fernandez news. Fucking tragic.

Mark said...

Brian Van Gorder out at ND. I believe I had that.

Danimal said...

Gus is soon to follow

T.J. said...

that JAX/BAL game was fuuuuuuuugly

Mark said...

Les Miles. Outta here.

Danimal said...

It was especially ugly live.

Danimal said...

Watching golf for the first time since the British. Somewhat compelling.

Danimal said...

Johnny Miller is still on tv.

Mark said...

I'm at my parents house so I'm stuck only watching the shifty Bucs defense but Twitter is telling me Fitzpatrick threw a pick 6 for his 5th pick of the day. Oy.

Mark said...

Oh...its six interceptions now? Lolololol.

T.J. said...

He just threw a sixth pick.

Shlara said...

Gheorghies-- I'm heading to Clemson next weekend to partake in College Game Day festivities.
Seeking sign ideas. Thank you in advance for your snark + creativity.

TR said...

Dabo Wabo?

rob said...

a trump/ron jeremy hedgehog mashup would melt the internet

rob said...

pour out an arnold palmer for the king.

TR said...

A guy at my local pool club worked in the golf industry for years said that Arnie was a real-deal stickman, very much like Tiger Woods. He said the wife knew and Arnie was shameless.

alex said...

good touches, tho
