THE AGENDA: CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND.

That’s a man, right there. See you in hell, buddy.

Good night, funnyman.

The Hell of growing older is having your childhood heroes die. When you’re six years old, the idea of strapping yourself to a rocket and jumping the Snake River seems so reasonable. Saw his movie five times. R.I.P. you crazy motherfucker.

You should post bunda out of respect for Mr. Knievel.

He’s jumping angels in heaven right now.

Angels on fire……

Floating in a shark tank.

That Crazy Motherfucker was the original
“Jackass” with no disclaimer……
I remember, when I was 8, being inspired to duplicate what I saw on TV with him jumping buses and whatnot—-except that fucking crazy rocket shit——- to trying to jump over several Ken and Barbies Birthday Ford Broncos…about 6 of them….I guess my visual perception wasnt all that…I had all the Ford Broncos lined end to end, about 6 of them, instead of side by side….and tried to jump them on a fuckin 10 speed in the wrong gear while wearin my football equipment, helmet, shoulder pads, girdle pads, cleats….the problem was in the design of the ramp, it had a trampoline quality so when the back tire at full speed hit it, it threw the nose and front tire down….so I am in midair in the middle of a forward flip when the front tire planted into Ken and Barbies Bronco, and the damn thing took off, I flipped over the handle bars on my head…looked like the “agony of defeat” part of the ABC intro where the skier is falling apart after a botched landing……My dads disclaimer—-“Betcha wont try that shit again….clean this shit up…quit trying to be Burt Reynolds….”

Still have scars on my knuckles from that damned crank-powered motorcycle toy.

They should launch his coffin over something. He deserves no less.

Ron Cherry flagged the ramp for giving Evel Knievel the business

Penn State is going to the Alamo, so that means the Gators are either playing Team Redacted or Michigan. Orson, who would you rather play?

Evel Knievel is what Johnny Knoxville wishes he could be. Not a jackass, but a badass.

Orson,
Love the Ebay for Bama bids……Jimmy Johns is only worth $3.24, and Prothros autograph is $57.35….wow
Your Friend,
Mr Pants

40/29 in Fayette-Nam is reporting that the Hogs have offered Tubby a 10year-37 MILLION dollar contract, and that Jimmy Sexton watched the Cowboys-Packers game last night from Jerry Jones’s suite.

The plot thickens…

Wow, the hours I spent trying to get Evil to do that standing jump on my hand crank toy….

I clearly remember being nervous before he did the Snake River jump. I must have been eight or nine.

Rev it up and jump those pearly gates, man!

“hand crank toy”

Poor choice of words. I’ll have another beer, now.

SJS @ 12:

That story is SO yesterday. Get with the program!

Pat Forde reports that Bo Pelini is going to take the Nebraska job.

Considering the fact that that video included 4 or 5 different camera angles, I doubt the veracity of the Linda Evans story. Although, more cameras equals more of a chance that she was manning, er, womaning one of them.

Also, Evel’s “Do you know who the hell I am?!” on the Jim Rome Show several years ago is one of the baddest assed one-liners in the history of interviewing.

his landmark concert in Antarctica with G.G. Allin.

The thought of Evel Knievel screaming “Ass fucking butt sucking cunt licking masturbation” at the top of his lungs damn near made me spit my beer out on my keyboard. Well-played, Orson.

LOL Hand crank toy…..I had that damn toy, it was bad ass, you crank it up, and it would lay down a streak peeling out on linoleum while goin 20 miles an hour thru the living room, out the door, ramping over the stairs with about 2 cats and 1 labrador retriever all in tow….til the lab took it and buried it….took me 2 months to find that mofo…..RIP Evel….there are many broken bones following in your footsteps…..and hard landings…….

Ok,
I know this site can find it…
I was just watching ESPNews at 11:00pm. The guy beside Scott Van Pelt on Sportscenter was talking about the Knicks game, and mentioned that a player was “dribbling out the cock” insead of “clock.” He got choked up a little right after he said it, but kept on like a trooper. I TiVo’d it, but since I have Directv I don’t know how to get it to YouTube. Hopefully someone findes it, but I had to keep rewinding it to make sure I heard what I thought I had…

Let’s Go Mountaineers!
RIP Evel

That is the second shitty NFL turned college failure that Pederson has given an extension to in the past 4 months. Please Pitt, sign Pederson to an extension and ensure me that he never steps foot in Nebraska again. He set our football and baseball teams back 4 years single handidly.

21

Too bad he couldn’t set you back 10-12 years, eh?

Evel Knievel is the only man who has ever lived who could get in a fight with Chuck Norris, Jack Bauer and Bill Brasky at the same time… and live to tell the tell.

Probably would go back at them individually with a Louisville Slugger in hand, too.

Pelican Pants @ 6, thank you for a phenomenal story with a helluva punchline. The fact that your dad characterized your behavior as Burt Reynolds-like is simply a classic. Henceforth, I’ll forever be telling my two sons: “Clean this shit up…quit trying to be Burt Reynolds.” The fact that they are 6 and 5 and will never know who Burt Reynolds is makes it even better.

Evil Knievel video? I thought those were Nebraska Football highlights.

OK, someone give MorningBeer @ 25 a trophy.

Well its a done deal…Miles to LSU, Pellini to Nebraska, let the dismantling of LSU begin….Watch the line in this game change dramatically….Lsu football team will probaly be tailgating before the game,and will probaly play better drunk…..
#24……Hell at the time I didnt know who in the hell Burt Reynolds was…..til I saw Smokey and the Bandit, then I became a Jackie Gleason fan since he stole the show…My dad thought Evel Knievel was a fraud since he felt he wasnt getting paid enought to do the crazy shit he did, kinda like Les Miles

27

I assume you meant Miles to Michigan. That being the case, would LSU go after Jimbo Fisher? Would he come back?

Now for some mindless fun….think back to Evel Knievel days……and Slap-shot….here is some audio
Hanson brothers rock…
http://www.slap-shot.com/audio.htm

Damn….my bad….Miles to Michigan….I dont know if Jimbo covets the FSU job more than the LSU, since we all know Bobby Bowden is due to collapse on the job anytime now, or be forced not into retirement, but into a retirement home

Mr. Pelican Pants – Great story! Brings back similar memories. I vividly recall my attempt at Evel-ness in trying to land the front wheel of my Huffy on my buddy’s skateboard after a jump off of the driveway “ramp.” I envisioned that, upon landing, the skateboard would simply serve as a proxy for my front wheel and that I would cruise down the street like I was leading the Parade of Awesome Motherfuckers. As you might imagine, speed + gravity + concrete = ego-crushing reality.

My mom watched this fiasco from our front porch, probably wondering how my little sister might enjoy being an only child. Once she saw that I wasn’t dead, she shook her head and told me to get my ass out of the street before a car came and I really got hurt.

If anyone would have done the research in the 70’s, they probably would have discovered that Evel Knievel was the leading cause of pain for boys age 9-12.

Can’t help but wonder if G.G. Allin shoved the handlebars up his ass.

32—

Yes, and then he puked all over the audience while injecting heroin into his eyeballs.

R.I.P., Evel. Not only were you a badass, but you were also the inspiration for a main character in one of Matt Groening’s favorite Simpsons episodes.

Try to keep the rubber side down on the big ramp in the sky buddy.

Mr. Pelican Pants, Sr. could easily kick Red Forman’s ass.

Never Saw Molly Hatchett #31,

Your last sentence is so very true.

JC @ #7 nailed it. Launch the coffin over Snake River. Or get the hearse revved up and down to the buspark.
