PETE CARROLL TAKES OVER AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER

by Orson on Jul 9, 2008 12:13 PM EDT

This is exactly what Pete Carroll is saying here as he takes the wheel of an aircraft carrier:

Yes, of course! Hence the name: movement. It moves a certain distance, then it stops, you see? A revolution gets its name by always coming back around in your face. You tried to kill me you son of a bitch... so welcome to the revolution.

(Cue "Voodoo Child" as the carrier steams off into the darkness.)

See the film of Pete Carroll visiting the USS Stennis here.

Bill Callahan has a section on aircraft carriers in his playbook.

Perhaps Carroll will use the Stennis to hunt pirates.

Arr! Warn Cap’in Leach, and load the grapeshot!

Meanwhile, Mike Stoops just lost another game of Battleship to his son Payton.

I wonder if Linhart was the one dressed in drag for the pre-hijack diversion…

John C. Stennis REPRESENT!! How many of you bitches have an aircraft carrier named after one of your alumni??

There’s a lot of room for sweet, sweet angels aboard an aircraft carrier. Betcha could run a whole lotta humanitarian missions if you used one of those babies.

That was a bomb, jackass! He used the microwave as a detonator!

We should be allowed to borrow the USS Stennis, run it up the Mississippi & send a cruise missle or four into Oxfart. Truly would a be a service to all mankind.

Plus, they’d PAY US to target the Sad, er, Tad Pad.

Early Errata: Orson, that wasn’t the USS Stennis, it was Charlie Weiss. You regret the error.

All your aircraft carriers are belong to us.

To #7 hailstate:
How about the name of that class of aircraft carrier “Nimitz Class”.

Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, US Naval Academy, Class of 1905

#15, I couldn’t help but notice your name. Are you an alum of both Navy and the Huskers? That seems a pretty interesting combo of schools. (Or did you just go to Navy and support the Huskers?)

Orson, look quickly at facebook b/c the universe is about to impload: “Pete Carroll became a fan of Pete Carroll.”

Ahh, the Stennis. I was on the Abe Lincoln (CVN-72) and the USS Enterprise (CVN-65)…..did a world cruise on the Enterprise, and I must say Rio de Janiero cannot hold a carrier group and Guns-N-Roses and Carnival all in the same week at the same time.
And the carriers with 8 Nuclear Reactors will do 65 mph+ easy….you could barefoot behind it, (Name Redacted) would love it then be sucked down and drowned in the prop wash
