TEEBO/TEBOW: AN EWOK OF EXCELLENCE.
While we're waiting for someone to explain whether Sammie Stroughter is going to play football or not this year...
Oddity abounds. For instance, we write this blog under the name of a former head of the Federal Trade Commission and spokesperson for the 1992 Ross Perot campaign. That's odd--almost as odd as the fact that Big Boi of Outkast wanted to record an entire album as "Billy Ocean," or the fact that Kentucky went 8-5 last year.
(It is not odder than Michigan not putting Chad Henne in the shotgun more in the second half against USC. That's one of the strangest things we've ever seen along with "Reggie Ball, 4 year starter in D-1 football," and "Buddy Teevens, head coach." But we digress...)
Anyway, our Samoan lawyer called us and said this to us yesterday:
SL: Dood.
OS: Dood.
SL: There's an Ewok named Teebo.
OS: ...
SL: The firstborn. His name. That's all you owe me.

So, one firstborn later, yeah, there's an Ewok named Teebo, which isn't spelled the same way but sure sounds the same as our beloved baby rhino Florida quarterback. Like Tebow, he's got a mentor who taught him things: in Teebo's case, it was magic, "which for some reason usually doesn't end up very well." We're forced to assume by "magic" they mean "the inevitable, brain-fucking interception/turnover Chris Leak committed every game sometime in the first three minutes of the first quarter." We can't wait to see it.
Teebo also fails to live up to his real-life homophone by getting punked by R2/D2 in Return of the Jedi--he's the one who R2 zaps when the Ewok gets too curious. Oh, and Teebo's about three feet shorter, is covered in fur, and sucks because he's an Ewok, and not even a particularly badass one, either. (The only badass Ewok in the movie is the one who bangs away at the leg of a moving AT/ST with a club. We call him "Reggie Nelson.")
According to Wookiepedia, Teebo did inspire this quote "I've never seen anyone more worthy of my tears! You are a true hero, young Teebo." This quote may be worth the three days of vagina-free living we'll have to endure as a result of even coming into contact with a site called "Wookiepedia."

Re: Vagina-free living – you did admit to it in a very public forum – or does TCOAN have the “nerd alert” plugin installed on Firefox to alert her about these kinds of events?

Of course, if there was such a plugin, my missus would be getting an alert as a result of my comment above.

The real Orson Swindle is also an esteemed graduate of THE Florida State University.

This immediately comes to mind every time I see the words Ewok, Wookiee or Chewbacca:
Cochran:
Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, Chef’s attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote “Stinky Britches” ten years ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!
Gerald Broflovski:
Damn it!
Chef:
What?
Gerald:
He’s using the Chewbacca Defense!
Cochran:
Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I’m a lawyer defending a major record company, and I’m talkin’ about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you’re in that jury room deliberatin’ and conjugatin’ the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.1

Well, I’m going to be in NYC all week anyway, but if I was in town it would have a least merited a ferocious mocking.

Oh, thanks Orson. Thanks for sharing Digital Boner Repellant with the rest of us.

So I’m guessing TCOAN doesn’t want to come over to my Brooklyn apartment to see my dog’s Boba Fett costume?

Well then again, if there’s gonna be a week to cast away vag. It might as well be opening week of CFB.

Can’t you just split the difference and name the kid Tebow (as planned)?

Thanks, Brian. Gone are the days when all nerds had was of the Analog variety(ie Asia records and D&D role playing books)

“Three days of vagina free living?”
Please, Orson, some of us are married…. You’re bringing a sock monkey to a gun fight…

What kills me is that in the midst of all that crap, you toss in a Chris Leak slam. The same guy that QB’ed you to a national championship. You ungrateful bitches should have already replaced Wuerffel’s picture with his by now. Beware of the football gods, blasphemers!

Honestly, three days of vagina free living is nothing for me. NOTHING. Give us a real challenge.

Jon, yes I was. Prior to that, I was the factory inspector in Fletch 2.

I couldn’t believe there really was a site called “wookiepedia”, so I had to look, right?

Reason No. 324 that TCOAN Rocks:
………Just 3 Days?!…wow… (The standard lack of trips to nookie-land after a serious case of nerd-erage is about a week, methinks.)

Orson, as operator of the best Florida site, you’re basically the Propaganda Master of the Gator Nation, thus, it is your job to hide information like this, not share it with the world. To equate our boy-god with one of the lamest things in the already lame nerd culture is a terrible sin. Beware the wrath of Tebow, if he sees this, nothing will be able to save you.

wookiepedia is just a star wars themed wiki sub-site. pretty nerdy but handy in cases such as this one nonetheless.
now if you want to get your nerd on you gotta go to the harry potter or the star trek wikis which has a canon and non-canon versions.

We are in development of an alternative spelling of Tim Te-Bleaux.
If you recall the alternative spelling of Herban Meyer???

I am a sailor, and trust me 3 days vagina free is no challenge, unless vagina=soapy hand shower, then I would be disqualified. Soap is such a slut!

I once went 3 days without soap with nothing but vagina to wash myself with, so I sorta know how you feel.

Batting at the legs of an AT/ST with a club?
Sounds like Reggie Nelson trying to tackle Humanity Advanced :)

Hey kids, you want to play a fun game? Pick a Star Wars topic on wikipedia, such as, say, lightsaber combat:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightsaber_combat
Now compare said Star Wars topic to something real and revolutionary in military history, such as gunpowder:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder
Note which entry is longer, and remember that the people who enter data on wikipedia have never, ever seen a live vagina in their lives.

Orson, you know I love you but you’re being too harsh on Teevens. He was a useful assistant to Spurrier, won championships at Dartmouth, and recruited all the players that helped Tulane go undefeated in 1998. He may have punched out of his weight class at Stanford, but he does have a resume with some genuine accomplishments.
