MUSTACHE OF THE DAY: LEON REDBONE
Apologies for nearly non-existent posting today: work and more work swamped us completely, and we’re just now seeing pinpoints of light in the darkness. We’ll have the following up tomorrow:
–Coaches’ bonuses you may not have known about.
–Our Joekickass (p)Review of the Las Vegas Bowl.
In the meantime, please accept the only thing we’ll get right on the site this week: our Mustache of the Day. In the holiday spirit, we present the author of our favorite Christmas album of all time, one of those “that guys” who you’ll recognize the instant he opens his mouth.
The Mustache of the Day: Leon Redbone.
His version of “Frosty the Snowman” features Dr. John, which means your BAC will bump up a few tenths just listening to it. Heavy machinery operation prohibited after viewing.
ps. You probably remember him more from the theme to Mr. Belvedere.

“According to our new arrival, life is more than mere survival, and we just might live the good life yet!”
This just in, Mr. Belvedere (Christopher Hewett), though dead, also just turned down the ‘Bama job.

The “Mr. Belvedere” theme kicks serious ass at dance parties.

Gotta love the yodeling at the end — I’ll admit I didn’t see that coming…

Re: the Fulmer cup talk in the last post, I see the gators finally have a recruit who is a) academically qualified and b) not a statutory rapist and/or Peter Warrick wannabe. (if recruits count they have to be early favorites for the ‘07 FC)

Orson,

It’s not a joke, I watched it myself on TV, and I can only be thankful I’ve never done acid because I would of certainly believed I was having a flashback. It was playing in a nearly empty LA Coliseum. One of the commentators actually said that it “might be one of the most exciting games of football ever played in this stadium.” Anyway, the men won 12-6, but now I know that there is a women’s semiprofessional league of football. Absolutely crazy.

Um…straight men don’t go to “dance parties.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Reggie Ball has been named ineligible for the GT bowl game. Could anyone think of a more perfect ending to his career? Maybe a last ditch hailmary returned for a touchdown in a tie game.

That guy has a nice stache, AUGrad, but he’s no Rollie Fingers. Who should really be the patron saint of mustache Wednesdays, but has never made the cut.

I demand fair representation as the patron saint of Mustache Wednesday!!!
As I patron saint of Mustache Wednesday, I, Rolliefingersmustache,I also hereby decree that hilarious yet bitter irony may derived from the most fitting end possible to the laborious and mediocre reign of Reggie Ball! And I say now to ye go forth and rejoice Rambling Wreck, but nigh shall thee despair for Calvin Johnson dost depart for greener shores (but hey, on the bright side of things, you guys still have Chan Gailey! alright!).

From the link in #8:
[i]“Williams…committed to the University of Florida on Wednesday inside his high school’s library.”[/i]
Although still not fashionable, I guess a HS library beats the hell out of the inside of a jail cell.

#11, #13 - so how far does this move the line in GT’s favour? Not that it matters, I suppose…

Are you sure crazy tom? Check this one of Veerappan - the famous sandalwood smuggler who terrorised the forests in the South Indian state of Karnataka for many years.

They do when they’re hanging out with women. I bet you live[d] in Zahm.
