THIS WEEK'S POLL: WE CAN ALL AGREE ON BEAUTIFUL, RIGHT?

by Orson on Jun 18, 2008 4:07 PM EDT Comment 30 comments

You're beautiful, it's true.

Only one thing remains less compelling than a blogfight, and that's a bumfight. Corrected: bumfights are far more compelling than blogfights, therefore ignore previous sentence. No one ever paid money to watch two dorks slap each other with laptops, though now that we're picturing it, there's a moderate amount of potential in the concept. (We call dibs on the steel-plated Toughbook.)

So if Bruins Nation and SMQ can't agree on what realistic expectations for HIS COACHNESS SIR RICK NEUHEISEL are, then we can count on two things. First, that Kyle will have a reasoned, cogent, and well-constructed 15,000 word piece on the topic. Second, that we propose peace by saying that in all the minor hubbub, we all agree on one thing: that HIS COACHNESS SIR RICK NEUHEISEL is the Platonic ideal of beauty brought down from the aether for our enlightenment.

Therefore, we present our intermittently updated poll, featured in the side bar to the right, which asks the question: What is more beautiful than HIS COACHNESS SIR RICK NEUHEISEL? We personally think there's only one answer, and that is that he himself is the definition of beauty.

This message brought to you by EDSBS, the most pro-Rick Neuheisel blog on the internet.

If voting for Mena Suvari’s buttocks is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Is his ‘coachness’ really more beautiful than his ‘visorness’ at gamecock nation? Remember, you can’t lick those ’cocks.

You need to clarify the question. It is currently phrased “What is x more beautiful than?” when what you mean is “What is more beautiful than x”

CRN is more beautiful than a planet full of unicorns.

I really feel like Bruins Nation isn’t giving SMQ enough credit for his restraint. Who else out there is going to comb through their body of work and not dive straight into a bleach bath, let alone present a cogent argument that, lest we forget, FAVORS THEIR DAMN TEAM IN THE SEASON AHEAD?

Perhaps the more easily understood question/answer should be: "What is MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN Sir … " which makes the “trick question” response more appropriate.
Technically right, the current way is comparable to a loaded coin by essentially making ALL of the answers presented correct.

The fans at BN are so uptight, they probably won’t realize they are being made fun of…

Star Trek had 72 episodes. No, asshole, Star Trek had 73 episodes.

BN accusing anyone of being Tinfoil Hat Wearers is hilarious

There is a rumor that Nestor secretly dresses like Pete Carroll and goes into the hard streets of Westwood every night looking for dirty beemers to polish…

I picked Tahitian Sunrise solely for the numerous possible double entendres.

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he’s carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he’s carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you’re drunk.

Does anyone actually read BN, except for the inadvertent comedic value?

/has never read it other than in the context of other sites making fun of it

Oooh, that’s our next poll.

SMQ? He doesn’t have time for this shit. I want to see a SoCal knock-down drag-out blogfight between Nestor and He Is Manpundit.

I’m just glad that Peter can’t play that stupid song when I read this post.

Your bias shows in the fact that you dare to raise the possibility that something MIGHT be more beautiful than Rick Neuheisel.

Damn you to hell, Swindle. Damn you.

If it wasn’t for HIS COACHNESS SIR RICK NEUHEISEL, James Blunt would still be eating off a George Foreman Grill.

The most hilarious thing over there in the BN monkey cage today was the conclusion that SMQ, Orson and King are picking on UCLA because they are jealous.

Since according to them there are not 10 students at Southern MIss, Florida, or Georgia who wouldn’t rather be at UCLA and there are not 10 students at those schools who could get into UCLA.

Now THAT is classic comedy!

#18: They’re not even picking on UCLA (in fact, SMQ thought their predictions for this year were laughably pessimistic); they’re just picking on the crazies who demanded nothing short of perfection from Dorrell and are now expecting losses to teams that even Notre Dame last year shouldn’t have lost to. (Oh, wait.) That makes it doubly hilarious.

SMQ, Orson and King are picking on UCLA because they are jealous.

I’m actually a little hurt. I took like nineteen shots at them from a verrry large soapbox in three days (including this) and don’t merit inclusion in the “gang”? VALIDATE ME, ASSHOLES.

So the West Coast IS for pussy (liberal), douchebag, tree-hugging smelly hippies.

Thanks BN!

Holly, c’mon, it goes without saying that there are not 10 students at UT who could get into UCLA.

I wouldn’t know; I got into USC but couldn’t be bothered applying to that other one. [hair toss]

Don’t worry Holly, since UT plays UCLA this year I’m sure they will have plenty of venom to spit at you by the time the season rolls around. Every UCLA opponent gets plenty.

And if you were accepted to USC and USC’s incoming freshmen do better on their standardized tests than UCLA’s incoming freshmen, that just means that you must have been one of UT’s ten students.

Where would we get our yuks without Bruins Nation? I mean, really. There was no better comedy during the “Dump Dorrell” campaign than visiting every day.

Oh, and by the way: ONE HUNDRED COCKTAILS to Holly for that custom pacifier.

Is it some kind of in-joke that CRN’s name is misspelled several times in the post and no one comments on it?

Honest to god, I’m not sure, but I wondered that as well. Maybe that’s why they were so quick to adopt an acronym…

This is bulls#@t. Why can’t I vote for the glory that is Pete Carroll?

by socalbryan on Jun 19, 2008 4:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

We discussed this at length before posting the poll, and came to the conclusion that Pete Carroll’s beauty is like Godwin’s Law—invoke it and the argument’s over. He is removed from this discussion because he is removed from us, existing on a higher plane of unicorns and everlasting muscle tone.
