SWINDLE INDUSTRIES UPDATE

Congratulations on your book-signing thingy… if you guys happen to hit the road for similar events and end up in the Chicago vicinity, please do let us know….

(Oh, and congrats on your Sporting News gig! You’re going meta on our asses before our very eyes…)

I thought you’ve been joking about the book. Will buy, despite the cover looking like a rip-off of the cover of Modest Mouse’s last CD.

You know, the Florida drum line used to have a tradition of painting rookies blue until one year they accidentally used blue latex house paint, and all the freshmen showed up to the next day of band camp blue. That was the end of that.

More than happy to give you a ride to and from Kramer’s. Just got a beautiful rickshaw that is raring to go.

eric y: I hope that year 2 will be the last one for us to have to suffer through with Dave and his comments.
jay whitlow: He’s right up there with Sammie’s 3rd cousin’s sister-in-law’s autn Esther.
eric y: Sammie concurs, thanks Dave.

When will EDSBS live be moving to satellite? Im bummed I will not be in ATL for the signing, would be a choice event.

That’s Ultimate Frisbee night, can you move it to Wednesday?

I’ll do my best to make it.

That’s a book we should all own. I have a copy given in person by our messiah. It’s entertaining. It’s pocket size. It’s adult beverage resistant. It’s enteraining. It has colours. What more are you waiting for?!?!

So soes this mean that TWWL has attached its electrodes to you so that you can never, ever, ever cast aspersions on its character again, Bill SImmons style? Let’s hope not.

All the same, I will definitely buy as a small reward for the hours of good times over the last couple of years (sniff).

Congrats.

I personally couldn’t care less about that rammer jammer guy. But shaking Orson’s hand may be worth the price of the book.

Will WSJ be offended when more folks show up to see Orson than himself?

I was in Buckhead when OSU went to the final four this year. It was grand. A guy came up to me on that Sunday and goes “dude, your still alive? You were the drunkest person I’ve ever seen before. You couldnt stand up, so you just laid on the floor and peed”

I had no memory of such event, but it does sound about right. Have fun.

JoPa also kindly asks you to remove yourself from his lawn – http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/ncaa/10/11/paterno.incident.ap/index.html

Swindle Industries needs an intern named Darren.

@6 – Just wait for the EDSBS network. I’ve heard they’ve got the Big Ten Network doing the negotiating for them.

Kleph will anchor the Cheesecake desk, Orson will give his Dan Rather-esque commentaries espousing on such subjects as his UF QB Man Crushes (Wuerffel, Grossman, Tebow, et. al.), SKLM to give his op-ed pieces, and Holly as “That Weather Chick”.

Absolute, sincere congratulations on your efforts….

Props also to avoiding the “sellout” label by already having ESPN on your very first book. Now no one can ever say “I liked them back when they were cool”, you major label whore… World Wide Leader shill….

Seriously, though, congrats…

1. - Orson’s hands are actually now just withered claws, due to all the typing day in and day out. In fact, he has several dialing wands on order right now because of this very condition.

anybody got a .torrent for this?

(I keeeed, I keeeed.)

I’m your number 1 fan. Does Misery get to tp Toomer’s Corner?

The book had better be goddamned good for what you gave up in Red Stick. Coughing up YOUR seat for no more than face value and a signed copy of the Psychobook that had dropped behind Swindle’s toilet the previous week? You sir, deserve Every Day to be Suck Your Dick.

11 – You’re forgetting our proximity to Alabama. It’s called “Douglasville.”

Kramer’s sounds hilarious and terrible.

grassroots no more….DAMN THE MAN!!!

Circumstances permitting you should try to make it to NYC. There are actually some CFB fans here and this would provide an opportunity to get away from the derranged perverts with all consuming fanatical obsession with the Knicks (UGH!!!) and other such morbid “curiosities”.

Also, Holly would certainly have to have a much more expansive role than the “weather chick” on the EDSBS network (that would make Keiland Williams seem overused). Special investigative correspondent on the curious and undetermined fate of USC at the least, frequent contributions throught the lineup and perhaps a show of her own.

Can I be the Carl Monday of the EDSBS network?

Allahver, I gave up the seat because I’m just a nice guy.

The book and the copy of Red Sonja were just Orson’s way of saying I’m swell.

LSUJoshua-

That copy was the very first author’s copy that he got. It was the first time he’d seen the book in real life.

Also— he’s trying to convince me to travel to an LSU game again this season. What kind of voodoo cajun crank did you put in his Abita Amber? :)

Mmmm, Abita Amber….

TCOAN – You just want to skulk around libraries looking for Buckstached OSU fans “using the computer”, don’t you? Well, that, and uncover the latest home improvement/remodeling contractor scams, right?

Nah. It’s just that growing up with brothers, in a neighborhood with only boys around, having male buddies and having been with Orson forever, I’m pretty jaded about that kind of thing. ;)

Note to all teenage boys: Keep your dirty pictures in a password-protected file with an innocuous name, and for Pete’s sake, clean off the damn mouse and put the lotion back in the bathroom. It’s a dead giveaway. If you don’t, your friends will mock you, and the women in your life will either a) be appalled and awkward around you or b) if they’re worth their salt, will laugh out loud and NEVER stop ragging you about it.

LSUJoshua, no denying your kindness. I figured I’d add some weight to your sacrifice for EDSBS, over the top style. Someday I’ll be begging Swindle to sign my copy, as it may be my only chance to get an author to handwrite “motherfucker” in their own work. Your copy still might have authentic back of toilet grime, which would make it’s value skyrocket. It’s a keeper!

Oh, and Abita beer is the damned greatest beer there is.
