POWE-VERDRIVE BABY!!! GIGGITY!!!

by Orson on Jul 29, 2008 2:16 PM EDT

One time, I was trying to fix the HVAC in my house. I like to fix things because my father liked to fix things. One time he fixed a sick goat by throwing it off the roof of the house during an electrical storm. It hit the ground and stopped moving.

Fixed. Giggity.

I asked my father if the goat was "fixed," and he said, "Son, ain't nothing in this world that can fix a cantankerous goat or a laudanum-sippin' woman. Except by violently throwing them off the roof." That's why I like to fix things.

[stares, attempts to spellbind audience.]

6.022 × 10 to the 23rd power. That's Avocado's Number.

[empty stares]

GIGGITY!

I also like teaching people to finish. When Casey--er, Jevan Snead throws away an orange juice bottle, he needs to finish throwing away that orange juice bottle. And when I say throw it away, I mean reach deep down in that trash can and make sure you get it all the way down in there with the trash. You can't just float it on top. The wind could take it.

Then your trash has become garbage. And we don't tolerate garbage here at Ole Miss. So get your hand in there with the diapers and the dirty needles. That's how you win.

Needles. Diapers. Finish.

[Stares, attempts to spellbind audience]

HOOGITY BOOGITY NOSFERATU CANDANGIT FIGGITY BORACKUS MCCLAGGLEY OOGITY BOOGITY!!!

[silence. stares.]

You know what I like about Jerrell Powe?

[gestures with thumb on top of fist. squints.]

HE'S QUALIFIED GIGGITY GIGGITY GIGGITY!!!!

[thunderous applause.]

You think he likes some avagadro with his mexican food?

Thunderous applause, indeed. I’m not gonna sit here and spew some bullshit like “I’m so proud of Jerrell” or “I’m just glad he’s working towards his education” like so many (lying) Ole Miss fans are. I just want his big, scary ass on the football field.

With Powe through, Urban Meyer has that bear shaving right now to prep for a starting spot at DT.

I’m thinking he’d be better off saying Klaatu, Verata, Nikto!

I’m eagerly awaiting Coach Nutt’s retirement, which he will spend primarily as a cabinet member in the Camacho Administration.

Earthquake in LA. Stay safe Holly.

Ole Miss. We educate the illiterate.

(so long as they weigh 350 and can play some fooball. giggity.)

I’ll be at the Swamp for the O Miss Rebba game. I think I really, really, really want his autograph.

I wonder how the Webble faithful will react after Wake hands them their lunch in early September.

You sure it’s not Avogadro’s Number?

Urban only takes the top one percent of the top one percent of ursi.

He evidently made it through his first year at Ole Miss without failing a class, which is more than I can say for myself.

@ 7 Is that an Army of Darkness reference? If so, well done. Such great special effects in that movie. It was WAY ahead of its time.

I full expect Powe to enter the stadium with entrance music, a laser light show, and a smoking elephant helmet Van Vader style.

If I’m making a movie about the life of Houston Nutt – I’m using Nathan Lane to play “Adult Houston”

It just makes sense.

My dentist once thought I had Peria Jerry.

Does he get to start as a freshman? Because I’m pretty sure he graduated high school during the Clinton Administration.

by Hmm on Jul 29, 2008 3:42 PM EDT reply actions

Per my Ole Miss cousin:
“He got permission to practice in the spring & they had to take him out of practice b/c he literally ripped a guys pads & helmet off & almost injured our back up qb from hitting him so hard.”

Any truth to that, Rebel fans?

by Allahver Fist on Jul 29, 2008 4:08 PM EDT reply actions

22, he was allowed to practice last August during a 14-day window allowed by the NCAA for athletes awaiting final clearance. Per The Legend of Powe, chapter 22, 4th paragraph, Mr. Powe started at 3rd string and worked his way into the starting rotation within 3 days, at which point he summarily sent half the O-line to the campus infirmary, claimed to have eaten the mascot, impregnated the entire cheerleader squad and challenged The Orgeron to a mud wrestling match all-the-while reciting Faulkner’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech in Latin. I’m not gonna claim the story is 100% accurate, but like all good legends, there is a seed of truth in there. He did apparently give John Jerry, a projected high round draft pick, fits as in Jerry couldn’t block him.

I don’t get it. Powe qualified. Nutt is odd sometimes.

But has he ever really said Giggity?

He’s mad, but there’s a method. He left the cupboard bare at Arkie, and just falls into talent at Ole Missy.

@ #10

Holly’s area is like 25-30 miles west of the epicenter. She felt it, as did many of us here.

I think the cause of this quake is related to Charlie Weis (although Ty may have hit something on the course)

by David on Jul 29, 2008 4:59 PM EDT reply actions

This earthquake was pretty minor with little damage.

I was actually finishing up a lab on earthquakes for an Introduction to Geology class. I’d even joked that I’d requested an earthquake for this week and that they should watch for the arrival of the different types of seismic waves.
