Bristol City manager Lee Johnson reacted with predictable glee as the fans at Ashton Gate lost their everlovin' shit. Among those fans, a wee ballkid:
As I watched that scene, I had memories. Glorious memories of a young lad with big glasses. A lad who grew up to watch that scene and have memories. This lad, in fact:Bristol City beat United scoring in the final minute n the ball boys reaction is priceless pic.twitter.com/BgEeWKC4DA— Harry Crawford (@HarryCrawford99) December 20, 2017
I swear to whichever God you prefer that I've never been near Bristol City, and I sure didn't sleep with anyone there. Despite the evidence.
Funny, I feel the same way whenever I see Jake Gyllenhaal--total doppelgänger. FOGTB Juan Carlos thinks that this guy in town, with whom I am friends, is my doppelgänger but he isn't. The correct answer is Gyllenhaal. Or Antonio Banderas.
ReplyDeleteThe real Antonio Banderas or Benicio del Toro?
ReplyDeleteGuillermo del Toro
ReplyDeleteI’ve been told I look like Nicholas Cage, if he ate Jason Biggs. Pretty sure this was not intended as a compliment.
ReplyDeletefran fraschilla was repping tony shaver and nathan knight yesterday evening. i knew i liked fran.
ReplyDeleteI saw Fraschilla’s tweet too. Called Knight a future NBA prospect.
ReplyDeleteOn the topic of doppelgängers, I have one who lives near me named Dave. I’ve been mistaken for Dave multiple times over the past decade.
The first time it happened resulted in me getting in a massive bar fight with a drunk redneck who wouldn’t accept the fact that I am not, in fact, named Dave.
Most recently it happened when I was out to breakfast with my wife. She’d heard me tell the stories but never saw it actually happen until then.
This “Dave” who do not know is going to get me killed one day.
Mark - I need clarification on one thing: Did this drunk guy fight you because he was mad at this Dave person or because he was just that convinced you were Named Dave and got mad that you didn’t agree?
ReplyDeleteWife is going to be induced Dec 27. Recommendations on a tv series to stream in the hospital as it’s going on?
If I was playing in a bowl game and took the trouble to paint my entire face to psych myself up, I’d be pretty bummed if I got ejected in the first quarter.
Army somehow makes only running the ball exciting.
ReplyDeleteSimilar event at the College Delly circa '91. A bunch of Dave's jersey hoodlum friends came to visit. Thought they saw Rob at the Delly. They gang tackled him and, I believe, even licked his face. Wasn't Rob. Fight ensued, natch.
ReplyDeleteour fuckstick president is impugning fbi deputy director andy mccabe on twitter this evening. i know andy mccabe and many of the men he's worked for and who work for him. he's as honorable a public servant as you'd want to know. everything this fucking asshole in the white house does makes me angry, but this infuriates me beyond words.
ReplyDelete2 pretty good bowl games today.
ReplyDeleteXmas came early for Danimal w a Big Green Egg. Popped the cherry on it today w some chicken thighs hat were deelish. Tomorrow, short ribs!
Will this be the first child for Mayhugh?
ReplyDeletei got whitney a chicken thighs hat for hanukkah
ReplyDeleteThe Big Green Egg is awesome! I love mine. Smoking prime rib on Xmas. Short ribs are my favorite thing to smoke. Enjoy Dan.
ReplyDeleteMayhugh- kind of a combo of reasons on the fight. The redneck definitely wanted to fight Dave. I repeatedly told him I wasn’t Dave and eventually was rude in my efforts to convince him that I wasn’t Dave. Things weren’t helped by the fact that Florida lost to Auburn that night so my mood was less than pleasant. If I recall, I told him to leave me alone and go home to his trailer. That’s when the fight commenced.
Did you think he lived in a trailer because he was a redneck or because he was an Auburn fan?
ReplyDeleteNot if you had TT +2.5 Danimal! And Marls i believe the answer to your q is "yes".
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. Looking forward to using the bge a lot.
ReplyDeleteWhit dog lookin fit and trim in Fb photo...looking good pal. I see the Johnny O shirt too.
Xmas arrived this morning for my kids b/c we leave for Utah tmrw. I heard my 8 y/o walk downstairs at 745 AM. He started doing some high-pitched screams, then sprinted upstairs and started yelling at all of us that Santa came. Was fun to throw a curveball and see them freak out.
ReplyDeleteAn Egg (or similarly-sized smoker) is on my wish list this spring, once we get house stuff done.
The Egg is my second smoker. Smokers are great investments if you like meat and/or enjoy cooking for the family. I smoke something about 3-4 times a month a this point.
ReplyDeleteTR’s story about his kid this morning is great. My kid is nearly 6 and is in full on I Love Xmas mode this year. ITs fun to witness.
i hope others got animated emoji texts from the teej today. he's got a new weapon in his amusement arsenal, and it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think zson broke my nose by violently flopping his head into my schnoz while I was tucking him in. Very unfortunate way to draw down goodwill with santa right before the fatman comes tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteThere are 100 boisterous Koreans on my flight. They all know each other and are screaming across the plane at each other. They are a loud bunch. One of them (a woman directly in front of me) carried on a giant, pungent box of fried chicken. It’s 8 AM. Thst’s not weird at all.
ReplyDeleteDoes she have waffles with the chicken? Carrying food onto a plane should be banned unless it's for some specific dietary or religious requirement.
ReplyDeletei was with my hoodlum friends when we saw doppelganger rob . . . i was the one who licked doppelganger rob's face (despite the fact that we left him passed out on the couch in our room-- i guess we thought he had mastered that trick in the prestige). the bar fight was an epic mess and the next day a guy refused to serve me at a local sandwich shop because i had "punched him in the face." i apologized (not that i remembered hitting the guy). i should have blamed it on my doppelganger.
ReplyDeleteanyway, you guys know i look exactly like brad pitt (when i face swap with stacey).
or vintage burt reynolds when i grow a mustache.
ReplyDeletebruce willis when i shave my head.
ReplyDeleteyou'd think i'd do better with the ladies.
