sorry for the briefest post ever. i'm on my way to class. i wanted to continue the "muppet special" discussion, but i didn't want to ruin the 69 comments.
The griffin also has small wings that in no way could support the weight of its frame. I mean, I'll offer a little willing suspension of disbelief where the cross-breeding of avian and feline species are concerned, just don't expect me to buy into that creature getting airborne with those little flappers.
As such, it seems to indicate our alma mater's outdated allegiance to the British Empire: the weight of the strong lion is hindering the eagle's flight. Think about that for a while.
. . . right after you've fully digested the philosophical, political, and allegorical weight of "The Muppet Special."
the more i look at that griffin, the more i hate it. it could have been menacing, but instead it kind of looks like a muppet version of the griffin. if that eagle head was more imposing, and if the legs were more sinewy and animal like and if it had some huge batwings, then i might consider getting it tattooed on my body.
i wonder who will be the first to get a tattoo of the muppet version.
If the school had chosen the Wren, Rob was going to cash in his tattoo virginity and make it happen. Much like our friend Hightower who backed out of getting the Lorax on his body because it didn't fully represent his "essence," Rob has indicated that the griffin doesn't "capture his inner je ne sais quoi."
Scooter from The Muppet Show, however, is pretty much Rob in muppet form.
If Tiger wins the Masters, would that be the biggest "eff you to the world" event by a big-time athlete ever? Imagine if he runs away with it like he did in 1997. It would be such a big story. I think I'd like to see it happen . No offense to Toms, Watson, Marino or Cabrera.
Wow, Teej, Ray Lewis also popped into my head in response to TR's comment. Great minds...
And Dave is right -- this version of the griffin is an insult to griffins. It's like the courage, intensity, and fierceness of Native Americans . . . as represented by Chief Wahoo.
meat wallet was learned here by a few of us a couple of weeks ago, courtest of i can't remember - geoff? mayhugh? i laugh just thinking about it...am doing so now. will let the originator re-define for your reading pleasure.
yeah - it would be a major eff you if tiger were to win. and after yesterday's bitch-slapping he was given my the chairman, he's probably even a little more focused, which is really scary.
I believe the Bloodhound Gang, in their tribute to NATO, "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo," called it a ham wallet. They also used terms such as gut locker, pork steeple, and bitch wrinkle. A thoroughly clever piece of juvenilia.
I'm not sure I'd call the Bloodhound Gang clever. But I do admire a band that writes songs about boobies and Chasey Lain, two topics most men enjoy much more than they let on to their significant others.
I think it would be great if Tiger won the Masters, then immediately whipped his pants off and made love to the cup on the 18th green while yelling "AAAGGHHH! I'm rich bee-yotch!" Dave Chappelle-style. That would be bigger than Ray Lewis' FU, I think.
Eagerly look forward to the progression of Hot Rod's nickname and seeing how long it lasts. Taj, DC Geofferson, Rhymenocerous, Z-man, Jerry Flantastico, Gay Dave, Tiny, and KQterus have had varying amounts of nickname staying power.
well, they probably pick a morning "featured group" and an afternoon...the morning is pretty good w/kim & els...i would venture to guess that as soon as they finish 18 it will go to tiger's. if not, then it's the bitchslap in continuance via billy payne...but would be SHOCKED if that were to happen
gheorghe: the blog made the hallowed epages of the atlantic monthly today. this might be the highlight of my writing career. somewhere, walt whitman is turning in his grave.
After the More Than a Game masterpost, I think most of us were sure that Rob would be the G:TBer most likely to be quoted in a higher-minded publication.
But you readers have going to have to subside predominantly on stupid YouTube clips and bitchy posts about people who say "it is what it is." Sorry.
By the way, my new boss uses nearly all of the expressions I complained about . . . like 10-20 times a day. As well as Rob's "I love me some _______." I am amused at the irony.
Hopefully Stevens gives G:TB a shout in his next press conference. And Greg picking up on the Mad Men reference is why I love him, ngs, and why he's in my wedding. Well, not THE reason, just one of many.
sorry for the briefest post ever. i'm on my way to class. i wanted to continue the "muppet special" discussion, but i didn't want to ruin the 69 comments.
ReplyDeleteBriefest post ever?? It has two sentences, thereby doubling every single one of your efforts at the Daily Sentence.
ReplyDeleteBut we can continue the "Muppet Special" chatter any time you like.
ReplyDeleteThe griffin has no hooves! It has the legs of a man, the feet of a sloth, and the hands of some as-yet unidentified four-fingered feathered thing.
ReplyDeleteThe griffin also has small wings that in no way could support the weight of its frame. I mean, I'll offer a little willing suspension of disbelief where the cross-breeding of avian and feline species are concerned, just don't expect me to buy into that creature getting airborne with those little flappers.

Alex Tyus declared for the NBA Draft?
ReplyDeleteMark, go hop in your car, drive to Gainesville, and punch him in the face.
i can't access clips at school-- thanks!

To bring it full circle, our Griffin looks like that crotchety old Muppet bald eagle character.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Dave will stick to tats of Strawberry Shortcake on his lower back.
ReplyDeletearound the meat wallet would be an appropriate locale for griffin tattoo.
ReplyDeletevery, very difficult, impossible really, to produce anything here today with masters.com, beachgoers, and g:tb.
What's a meat wallet?
ReplyDeletemeat wallet? testicles?
ReplyDeletesomeone in the english office just said, " a griffin is pretty bad-ass."
apparently, he hasn't seen this particular griffin.
Other than Geoff's face/mouth, that is...

I hear Tiger is gonna play today. Anyone know where I might be able to catch a glimpse? It seems under the radar.
ReplyDeleteIf Tiger wins the Masters, would that be the biggest "eff you to the world" event by a big-time athlete ever? Imagine if he runs away with it like he did in 1997. It would be such a big story. I think I'd like to see it happen . No offense to Toms, Watson, Marino or Cabrera.
ReplyDeleteNo, rod is Statler and you are Waldorf. We've been over this.
ReplyDeleteOur old frat colleague Joyner, who you may or may not know, is Rizzo the Rat.
I think the second biggest FU would be double hair stylist murderer Ray Lewis winning the Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteHave we taken to calling him Rod? Cause I really, really like that name for him.
ReplyDeleteWell played.
ReplyDeleterod is my porn name. rod squirrelmeat.
ReplyDeletei'm watching the masters on my phone. the future is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWow, Teej, Ray Lewis also popped into my head in response to TR's comment. Great minds...

You've got a real attitude problem, McRod. You're a slacker! You remind me of your father when he went here. He was a slacker, too.

ReplyDeleteThe gallery just blew up for Tigre
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd call the Bloodhound Gang clever. But I do admire a band that writes songs about boobies and Chasey Lain, two topics most men enjoy much more than they let on to their significant others.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the Hot Rod.
but did anyone blow him?
ReplyDeleteI think it would be great if Tiger won the Masters, then immediately whipped his pants off and made love to the cup on the 18th green while yelling "AAAGGHHH! I'm rich bee-yotch!" Dave Chappelle-style. That would be bigger than Ray Lewis' FU, I think.

ReplyDeletez-dawg - am laughing again today. you g:tb'rs are funny sometimes.
ReplyDeletefor 8 yrs, while using the middle name & street name for porn name, my name would have been tommy deerwood....
name. name. name.
I thought it was childhood pet's name + childhood street name?
ReplyDeleteSquirt Buckingham, at your service.
clancy mount burnside
ReplyDeletetom watson, you magnificent ageless bastard.
ReplyDeletejust don't leave yourself an 8-footer for the win.
ReplyDeletemickelson on a tear
ReplyDeletemickeltitties i mean
ReplyDeleteI thought first pet + mom's maiden name?
ReplyDeleteI'm Brutus Brown. Or Brutus Willow for pet + first street.
I am enjoying the Masters video coverage, but they're killing me by not showing Tiger. I don't know what they're trying to prove.
ReplyDeleteI mean the on-line coverage, of course. No offense to Anthony Kim, but he's not the reason I'm hogging my employer's bandwidth.
ReplyDeletewell, they probably pick a morning "featured group" and an afternoon...the morning is pretty good w/kim & els...i would venture to guess that as soon as they finish 18 it will go to tiger's. if not, then it's the bitchslap in continuance via billy payne...but would be SHOCKED if that were to happen
ReplyDeleteAlmost as shocked as you would be if Tiger had been screwing around on his wife with some skeezy hoo-ers?
ReplyDeletei don't know what you're talking about.
ReplyDeletei may have to recaaant that statement. i won't be shocked. coverage starts in 40 minutes.
ReplyDeleteespecially now since they're showing kenny perry...he's exciting to watch.
ReplyDeleteThen I'm either Ralph Seabreeze or Ralph Hochplatten
ReplyDeleteGreg, you are Ralph "Seabreeze" Hochplatten.
ReplyDeletereally, really nice round of golf furyk.
ReplyDeletewow, jimmy. that's not terribly strong.
ReplyDeleteI had always heard it was middle name + childhood street name. Which makes me: Patrick Marion. For some reason, it feels like a very porny name to me.
ReplyDeleteIn the other iterations, my name is either Mandy Marion or Mandy Harper(am I a female porn star here?).
I'll stick with Patrick Marion.
We're now 16 comments away...
ReplyDeleteFluff comments like that are not an honorable way to get to that threshold, Teej.
ReplyDeleteIf you want 69, Teej, don't be a fluffer.

I always imagined Rob as less of a Scooter and more of a Bunson. But maybe that's because I have the Muppet Babies version of Bunson in my head.
ReplyDeleteI like the middle name + street name - makes me Chris Framingham.
...
Sounds kinda gay.
Cue to scene of TJ looking on at Rob in disgust/envy whilst trying to figure out a way to get himself published ala Pete Campbell.
ReplyDeleteLast one to Chumly's get's to push Ken Cosgrove, published author, home in a baby stroller.
ReplyDeleteAfter the More Than a Game masterpost, I think most of us were sure that Rob would be the G:TBer most likely to be quoted in a higher-minded publication.
ReplyDeleteBut you readers have going to have to subside predominantly on stupid YouTube clips and bitchy posts about people who say "it is what it is." Sorry.

I love me some Miranda Cosgrove.
ReplyDeleteAhh, the sweet solace of anonymity. It's liberating.
Ashley Pelham or Gidget Pelham. Boned on both accounts. Stupid porn names.
ReplyDeleteyeah, you read right. gormley's middle name is gidget.
ReplyDeleteMyno Duespa thinks you're a dick.
ReplyDeletenice work, rob! that's quite a link, although i would have used a different verb, as in: W&M blogger rob "ejaculates" instead of "muses."
ReplyDeletethe furniture is outside at charlie brown's-- i am going to drink beer and celebrate rob's literary fame.
freddie couples isn't wearing socks. and he's leading the masters. hell, yeah.
ReplyDeleteI'm not wearing any underpants. And I'm leading ... nothing, really.
ReplyDeleteYou're leading the office in creepiness, I'm quite sure.
ReplyDeleteOkay, truth be told, I'm not wearing underpants, either. Also very liberating.
It appears we have indeed collected the underpants, skipped phase 2 as instructed and will be collecting profits in phase 3.
ReplyDeletewow rob. i'm impressed. i'm surprised and disappointed they didn't use the meat wallet tattoo line, maybe they will now
ReplyDeletebrad stevens signs a 12-year contract with butler today. megamidmajor!
ReplyDeleteStevens clearly reads G:TB. ESPN says he made $750k in total compensation last year and he got "a raise" with the new deal.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Stevens gives G:TB a shout in his next press conference. And Greg picking up on the Mad Men reference is why I love him, ngs, and why he's in my wedding. Well, not THE reason, just one of many.
ReplyDeleteI hope Vitas is involved...and Roberto is the reception entertainment.
ReplyDeleteAnd where the fuck is my invite?
Mark, can I bring a date to the wedding?
ReplyDeleteIt's not until February. Shit, bring two dates.
ReplyDeleteGheorghe; the Wedding
ReplyDeleteOh my.
open papal ballot bar, i assume
ReplyDeleteOpen tat parlor as well.
ReplyDeleteMark plans to import a bunch of maple trees so everyone can tap their own.
