THE EDSBS BOWL: LET’S RIDE
St. Petersburg has a new bowl game, and we have one number for you, people: $350,000. Yes, all it takes to turn the as-yet-unnamed St. Pete Bowl into the EDSBS Bowl is a measly $350,000 in any currency. Imagine the splendor:
Flyby done by: A low-flying dirigible. Extra spice will be added when hundreds of turkeys are pushed from the blimp onto the stands.
Alternative flyby: Fat bikers in hang gliders holding sparklers. Did we mention they were naked and drunk, too?
Sponsors would include: Zybrowka Vodka, RoboTussin PM (for nightlife!), Cocaine Cowboys, the official bloodcokeumentary of EDSBS, Mercenaries 2, Burning Angel, and Chik-Fil-A. Goddamn, Chik-Fil-A is good. (Get it? Get it?)
Game announcers: Play-by-play: Ron Franklin, but only if we get to shoot him up with ketamine first. Color commentary: CNN commentator Richard Quest, fresh out of rehab with the volume turned up. Sideline reporter: Stephen Hawking.
Halftime entertainment: Tampa Bay’s own Morbid Angel.
For children, an alternate show will be provided outside with the Veggie Tales and special guest Deicide.
Goodie bag will include: one can of Busch Light, one tube bronzer, one pair old man blast goggle sunglasses, a scoop of ropa vieja ladled on top of everything.
All for just $350K, reader. If wishes were horses, people, we’d be running our own glue factory at this point. Let’s make this horse a winner. If everyone who reads this blog just sends in one dollar, we’ll have enough to make me only ask for a dollar TEN TIMES EACH. If Paultards can raise eight zillion dollars and get their own blimp, we can make this dream a horrifying, weeping reality.
(Actually, the Ron Paul Bowl would be uproariously funny, especially because the field wouldn’t have lines.)

Thank you, Holly. Let us not destroy the Kumbaya spirit by bringing in worldly concerns.

I’m definitely in for at least $20, if not more.

interesting to see EDSBS endorse a presidential candidate.
“Interesting” like a perfectly preserved dead bird on the sidewalk, and not in a good way.

On a side note, it would be interesting to see EDSBS endorse a presidential candidate. Clearly there are some strong political feelings from the staff… or maybe they are just not good at making fun of politicians.

I’m in for an Andrew Jackson, an Abe Lincoln (not the sexual move) and 37 cocktails.

Der @ #40…”finger fucking paralegals” can cause unbelieveble difficulties unless they initiate the action…to be able to defend your FF of P you better be able to state without equivocation that she grabbed your love tool with salacious intent prior to any act on your part. Saw this defense work wonderfully (she had told another P she was gonna do it) but still didn’t save the associate’s marriage…the wife didn’t appreciate the fact that the lawya 1) allowed the abuse of tool, and 2) reciprocated with the digital penetration of the P’s (no pun intended) corresponding orifice…a valid point.
That said, I’m in for $20 to see the EDSBS Bowl become a reality.

My God in heaven, this would be the greatest thing ever. I can’t speak for the rest of the board but I am entirely serious in saying I would give up $20 dollars to see this happen. Someone write up a contract and file LLC papers.

Just a comment regarding we #5’s.
Shit, let’s do this. I mean there are plenty of.6’s just begging to be had to make this happen: You know exactly what I’m talking about, the good ole “file reviews” (masturbating in closed office or finger-banging paralegals) and “consultation RE: Client X” (intruding thoughts of how much you hate a cocksucker when you’re sitting at home, desultorily drinking alone…like NOW!).

#6: I think this should be the official fly over for the bowl game.

Haybeav…I concur…Fogelsong could use the job!
I’ll pitch in $50 for LSUFreek to do the pregame graphics for the telecast.

This has to happen. Count me in for $20. If we can’t name the bowl after him as DC suggested, could we maybe find a way to make Buzz Bissinger grand marshall?

O, O, O,
While Morbid Angel clearly is the shit, and Deicide is decidedly the most brutal shit on the planet (excepting mid-90’s Carcass or Cannibal Corpse, and present day Dying Fetus), how could you forget to add the undercard of Obituary and Malevolent Creation? Maybe Burns and the guys from Morrisound as MC’s?

Sounds like an acceptable candidate for the “Queens” court.
Working as a team we can make this happen!

I will absolutely start at 100, and like others could be talked into more. I think it would be good for so many people, on so many levels.

FUCKIN’ A!!!! MORBID ANGEL! Back when I was in college at The Capstone, saw these monsters play in Ensely (bring your Tecs and wear a jacket), and DAMNED it was brutal. There was a chick who was a huuuuuuge fan, dressed as a nun, and she moshed around the floor, tearing her clothes, rending her flesh, and having equally demonic chicks lick the blood from her self-inflicted wounds. To no one’s suprise, Trey Azagoth took her for a lil spin in the coffin later that night

somewhere, somehow we need the involvement of some sort of gambling entity. a casino, a website, a local tampa bookie, whatever.

Surely WordPress and Mountain Dew would pitch in sponsorship dollars, as the blogger’s best friends?

I didn’t catch the CNN “Dick” Quest reference the first time. Then I remembered. Sometimes humor just writes itself.

BTW, I clicked on the “Britney Nipple Slip” ad 5x. How much is that worth?

You know Orson, I totally would give you the money for a bowl game. Just not for one being played in the shitactular Tropicana Field

Of course you have to get the local St. Pete community involved.
Let’s say…a Bea Arthur/Wilfred Brimley look-a-like contest.
