LOLQBS, VOL. 2: TRESSEL HAS SCHRUTESLEEVES
We’ve decided that Thursday’s curriculum should be art and history. The history’s coming up a little bit later. First, your art for the morning.
1. Wilford Brimley jokes are always great. Add Joe Tiller, and we’re talking canon material here. Someone call Allan Harold Bloom…

2. We’ve never trusted a man in a sweatervest, and we definitely can’t trust a man who wears short sleeves with a tie, much less that ensemble with a sweater. There should be a name for short sleeves with a tie…what could it be…hmm…

3. Good art should disturb the viewer somewhat, dislocating them from their comfortable perspective and really forcing them to keep up with the bold vision of reality articulated by the artist.
This definitely covers the “disturbing” portion of that…

4. This might explain a few things about Reggie Nelson, actually. (Joke is somewhat layered– see here for reference. AHHH mah bucket.)

5. Finally, men expressing emotion in an open, totally ungay way. At, like, a full sprint.

Gotta love the red X artwork. Is that avant garde?

How much do I love that picture of Tommie destroying the Florida “defense”? Let me count the ways… Too many. That was my favorite bowl game.

Sir I would suggest you not peer into the cockpit the next time you board and airliner.

Air marshals usually keep us from doing that.

So, are you saying Mr. Homer J. Simpson is beyond your trust as well?

Yes. But we still admire him nonetheless.

Reggie Nelson needs to fix his belt.

Reggie Nelson needs no safety belt. Someone being hit by him, however, is in immediate need of one.

Mohamed didn’t need a safety belt on that play. Sniper got him before Reggie did.

Are you telling me they make glorified bus drivers wear ties?

A sweatervest is acceptable, over a polo, on the links. Otherwise, not so much.
If you don’t play golf, well I have about as much use for you as Saban does for reporters.

Damn! If the photographer had caught him just a split second later, we would have had photographic evidence of Reggie Nelson doing his David Blaine impersonation.
Aha! A sniper didn’t get Massaquoi! It was Reggie’s burgeoning telekinetic abilities (which obviously lay dormant until he spent several months basking in the radiant glory of Tebow),

Dogtown Gator, you have my vote.

I think that both Allan Bloom and Harold Bloom are acceptable answers, and look forward to a flame war about whether Orson wrote this trying to compete with Plato (Allan) or Shakespeare (Harold).

well, CrimeNotes, the bottom line is that it’s gonna be a heck of a lot harder to get allan on the phone than harold.

Long sleeves: Safety hazard in a cockpit. Less so on a sideline.
QED, MF-ers.
