CLAUSEN TO START DESPITE INJURIES, SCABIES
According to the Tennessean, Casey Rick (uh, or one of them, dammit) Clausen will make the start against the University of Georgia tomorrow despite numerous ailments including two broken fingers on his non-throwing hand, a bruised shoulder, and a "sore" Achilles tendon that had Clausen in a walking boot this week.
An anonymous source reports that Clausen's injuries are larger in scope than the team is letting on, and that Clausen will be playing with a plethora of ailments on Saturday. An excerpted list follows:
--Broken right tibia
--Septic gunshot wound, right buttock
--Snake bite, left calf.
--Scabies
--Cerebral malaria (recovering)
--Scrofula
--Severe abrasions from failed motorcycle jump at Caesars' Las Vegas fountains, right hip/torso
--Lockjaw
--The screaming fantods
--Fractured skull resulting from ill-advised bat-fight in Knoxville alley
--Cholera
--Third-stage syphilis, contracted from a whore with a heart of gold in Kinchasa.
--Athlete's foot.
--Dislocated shoulder from "reverse keg stand" with full keg.
--Pleurisy.
--Gout.

Clausen's looking A-OK for Saturday's start, despite an attack of the gout.

The sore heal from Gout might just be the one that makes him ineffective.

He really needs to stay off the Oregon Trail while he’s in season. That cholera can be deadly. And the fact that he lost 4 oxen and 22 bullets trying to ford the Colorado River is not helping his cause.

Glad to hear he got the endometriosis thing cleared up.

Hee hee. Dysentery…the poops…hee hee.
OH NO!!!! A thief has come in the night and stolen 3 sets of clothing. Maybe I’ll find an abandoned wagon with clothing and spare wagon parts.

What the hell has he been doing at practice all week?
They need to get that kid to Ft. Laramie and get him healed up.

I also liked the game Odell Lake

I’m just amazed to hear that Casey is going to be the rare five-year starter at QB.

It’s pretty much a nationwide thing for kids in the middle school “advanced” classes to do nothing but play Oregon Trail and Odell Lake and dissect owl pellets, right? Of course, I didn’t get into advanced classes until middle school, because when I took the test in 1st grade, I told the guy the Eagles suck.

Is that the same list Dr. Hibbert gave to Mongomery Burns and then said that all the germs are completely cancelling each other out (then he uses toy germs and a small door to describe it)?
I think hysterical pregnancy was one of them.

And Ian, telling the guy the eagles suck get you into the gifted class, right?

That’s nothing for a classen. Hell, his brother casey played a whole season after losing his arm.

Please tell me Odell Lake was that game with the fish, the otters, and the occasional osprey attack.
That game, combined with the ’Trail, robbed me of my 4th and 5th grade educational opportunities.

thehakukin,
Yup, that is the one. I believe there was a fish on the game called “the chub” which always spurned laughter out of the 5th grade boys.
Anyone remember number munchers?
Or the more challanging, franction munchers?

Typical Gaytor fool its Rick Clausen, not Casey why dont you have a post on here about the number of touchdowns you scored against Bama Go Dawgs

Thanks for the correction, David! We welcome your articulate, provocative commentary. Come by any time, and may every day be a Saturday for you!
by Orson Swindle on Oct 7, 2005 2:26 PM EDT reply actions
David,
The total number of touchdowns that Orson scored against Bama has, was, and always will be zero.
P.S. Dawgs is actually spelled “Dogs”.
P.S.S. You should try using periods.

I am amazed he hasn’t contracted Lymes disease…isn’t that stuff just rapant in TN…oh wait, got him confused with another QB.

This will surprise no one, but I pwned at those games.

Pull the lollipop out of your mouth and back away from the keyboard, David.
I’m guessing “Gaytors” is the embodiment of the desperate homophobia of the high-school dropout fan— I know for a fact that UGA grads can spell, hell, I almost went there myself.

David,
Easy on the juvenile vitriol, dude. There is a site that was created long ago for you irrational, myopic, hatred-venom spitters, it’s called the DawgVent. You may want to check it out.
Conscience – I have 2 degrees from UGA but still find it difficult to throw a spelling error-free post up, although this is more down to bad typing and laziness then anything. Which makes me think that you could revolutionize the CFB Blogosphere by incorporating a spell check feature.
by Kanu on Oct 7, 2005 3:53 PM EDT reply actions
Oh, I type like ass too and I have a freaking English degree (and am in a master’s level course, right this moment, ignoring the professor in favor of cfb blogs and typing badly). I just wanted to send some UGA love— great school, great campus, football team that I always root for except when they play UF.
My dad HATES UGA- he was a Gator back when Steve-O was the quarterback. I save all my animosity for UT. I would hate FSU but whisper my mom’s a Nole.
Keep that on the DL, tho, k?

If by DL you mean: don’t tell anyone you know, then you are set since I don’t know any. If by DL you mean: published on one of the internets for anyone & everyone to see, then you might be in a bit of a jam. But then you guys always have the option of asking HP advice on how to delete untidy posts.
To the entire EDSBS crew- as much as it hurts me hand you lot a “Florida Gator Point of Pride”, I saw this on google news: http://www.gainesville.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051006/LOCAL/51006006/1078/news
Nice job, fucking nerds.

He owes it all to Possum Trot, KY. We just gilded the lily.

In reference to Clausen and the Keg back flip, didn’t he actually fall from a railing or something last year, pre season? You guys conveniently left out the anorexia he contracted as a result of dinner at the Fulmer’s.
