“…were’t the last drop in the well,
as I gasp’d upon the brink,
e’er my fainting spirit fell,
’tis to thee that I would drink,
with that water, as this wine,
the libation I would pour,
would be a piece of thine with mine,
and a loss to thee, you old boor…”

…a bastardized George Gordon…

Must bring up Shelley’s “Indian Serenade” here too, which ends:
O lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast:
O press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last!

FSU football, as of late. Passionate. Pale. Cold. Heartbreaking.

Thanx. Strange things creep into one’s mind early in the office when no one is around.

And such an easy target.

God bless you for setting those Tech people straight, because obviously they believe that those offenses, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, are laughing matters, especially regarding the Tech athlete in question.

I love the Internet Chivalry Hero.

I refuse to believe that anybody who visits this website thinks occurrences such as the Tech incident are anything other than atrocious, downright inhuman.

We all laugh at the Fulmer Cup, but I doubt any of the victims, male or female, of the violent offenses that score many of these points find this exercise amusing.

Whomever wins is going to have, in all likelihood, some violent offenders, albeit probably not as bad as rape, and everyone will have a guffaw or two.

Will you be there to wag your finger, then?

You also categorize drug dealing as something worse than “boys being boys.” Did you give the Alabama fans who were mocking their own, and of course everyone else, the same stern lecture?

By all means, pick your spots.

Bobby be Bobby.

No sarcastic response (i.e. tickle pile) reference here. I grieve the demise of college football as being akin to indentured servitude. Where is recruitment headed?

Pay your dues, enrich your sponsor and (hopefully) take advantage of the opportunities/ entitlements/contacts one obtains by ACTUALLY putting forth an effort (NFL) and/or obtaining a degree.

Public intoxication, urination outside of norms and falsification of birth dates, while illegal, are somewhat acceptable given the maturity and circumstances of most 18 year old males. Rape, assault, armed robbery and drug dealing are not. Under no circumstances can one portray these actions as “high jinks”.

I’m keeping my eye on you, Mr. Hall.

and that feller in the middle has what would pass on my ship for a purty mouth
