GOLDEN UNICYLE DIARIES: PETER AND ORSON ON USC/UCLA
Nestor has part one of our very discursive dialogue on USC UCLA up. Part Two should follow later this afternoon.
In case you’ve never imagined Pete Carroll on a golden unicycle riding around the USC campus giving the Buddy Jesus thumbs-up to baffled strangers…well, you should.

Hey buddy! Nice golden unicycle!

I had to bite my arm to stop from laughing out loud in the office after I read this -
OS: Factor two: mascot.
Peter: Hmmm… homoerotic warrior or kind of soft-looking bear?
OS: It’d be a long fight, I think.
Peter: They might just cuddle.
OS: Agreed.
OS: Mascots cuddle, discuss fears of intimacy.
OS:That’s a push.
Peter:Draw.

Very funny, dammit., especially the part about OJ jokes being the inverse of Godwin’s Law.
One mistake, though: Pete Carroll doesn’t go around campus on a golden unicycle, he’s carted around in a platinum rickshaw by a rotating crew of (academic) scholarship students.

Orson, I am a huge fan of your writing, and I’ve been visiting your site for “many moons” now, but I must admit, your discussion of the USC-UCLA game was harder to follow than Gravity’s Rainbow.

Bruinsnation.com is one of the silliest blogs out there, and, now, just as its school’s football team - GUTLESS.
Bruinsnation.com did not do its regular thing of mixing it up with the next rival’s bloggers, prior to the game. They did it with Notre Dame, for example, and others.
Nestor, who runs the site, is as yellow as one of his team’s colors. He probably had his older or younger sister protect him from bullies when he was a snotty cotton-picker kid.
For this week, he picked others (EDSBS and Texas) to pinch hit on the commentary. Funny, but, just showed the gutlessness of Nestor-Burrito.
UCLA will always be the junior varsity football team in Los Angeles. From the president, athletic director, football coach, right down to its Foul-Breath Students, the school and team will always be second rate, at best.
And to conclude Ms. Nestor-Chimichanga:
Go and try to do anatomically impossible things to yourself. (That is how their comments usually end, but with much less creative language, if you know what I mean.)

Jeff, that was admittedly on the frontier of comprehensibility.

Off topic a bit: is that an iPod that Himself is holding?

That Nestor guy needs to be committed. I guess losing forever to your crosstown rival does that to some people.

Yup. And the downloads run the gamut from John Wesley to John Wesley Harding.

If you look down to the middle of the article, it seems as though USC is already deciding how to allot their share of tickets for the BSC championship game. I think the football gods will strike them down with vengeance and furious anger as a result! Go Gators and Go Bruins!

Nestor is the best thing going online for USC. He’s so mental and deluded he’s a gas. Plus he will spray out such venom and invective against any and every team that the Bruins play (win or lose) it is only a matter of time before he pisses off everybody. I have to laugh at how they have been actively rooting for the Bruins to lose lately and yet this week they expect the gutty little Bruins to beat USC.
And the fact that USC has overtaken UCLA academically just rubs salt in the poor ruins wound’s. At least they still have Basketball to fall back on for some shreds of self-esteem.
I don’t get why BON is so bent out of shape over USC still. They were the sorest winners I can remember after last season. I guess it just comes down to jealousy for them too, since Texas is bound for a minor bowl this year and the worst USC can do is the Rose bowl.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I had to look up both of those.

Then I guess it wasn’t much of a joke. Sorry about that, chief.

DevilGrad,
I laughed. Particularly when I tried to imagine John Wesley out field-preaching and singing “Give Me Some of the Peoples’ Drug!”

Devilgrad: pay it no mind; you aren’t responsible for my ignorance of Protestantism and whatever kind of music it is that Mr Harding plays. Anyway, as far as I can tell a total of 1 person got my joke the other day about Reggie Ball’s synapses being made by Lucas, so I’m not one to talk.

I missed that one the first time DC, but I’ve driven enough Brittish cars to laugh at it now.
LSU to the Rose Bowl makes perfect sense. A domer rematch with Michigan isn’t what most people want to see and so many of the domer’s were just out in SoCal for the USC game, that a USC-ND rematch would be even worse than a MI-ND rematch. If LSU gets a BCS bid then that means the loser of the SEC game is Wisconsined out of the BCS.

Your comments are the best thing to appear on that site all season. Nester & Co. are completely unhinged fools who have a very distorted view of reality. The fact that they insist that fucla is some sort of football powerhouse says it all.
With fans like these, no wonder the best they could do is Karl Dullard.

Three things say it all about UCLA
1) Nestor with what seems to be a combiniation of OCD and Tourettes syndrome.
2) Hugh Johnson, the 8clapsports.com guy
3) The juggler
Game, set, match.
Notre Dame is USC’s true football rival and worthy of respect. UCLA is the crosstown team that it is fun to beat up on.

Orson,
I know misery (Nestor) loves company, but I didn’t know you loved miserable company.
Hilarious post by you and BON.
