GUN & GUNNER: FLORIDA-LSU COMPATIBILITY SCREENING
After last year’s legendary late-night tangle the Florida-LSU rivalry, now hatched, molted, and developing scales, is emerging as one of the few “marquee matchups” in college football truly deserving of the term. Connoisseurs of the game from all conferences will tune in Saturday night for what promises to be an explosive (due in no small part to homemade alcohol) finale to a day of sure barnburners. To assist unallied fans in obtaining temporary loyalties for the game, the EDSBS staff has compiled the following helpful questionnaire:

Do you like air conditioning?
A. Yes.
B. No, it makes skinning giant catfish harder ’cause they skin gets tight an sassy.
Do you like fried food?
A. Yes, preferably from Publix in a cardboard box.
B. Ain’t that redundant?
Your team is down four touchdowns at halftime. How do you react to the GameDay cameras?
A. [sullen stare that could freeze nitrogen while pressing cellphone to ear]
B. “FUUUUCK YEEEEEW WWOOOOOOOOOOOOO TAHGERS GON GITCHA!!!” [shows breasts, regardless of gender]
Anniversary gift for your common-law spouse?
A. AXE Body Spray gift box from Rite-Aid.
B. Gold chain with two vials on it, one of your own blood, the other filled with jungle cat pheromones you bought at a roadside stand from two guys both named Marcel.
Preferred mode of transport:
A. Speedboat filled with babes tanned to jerky.

AND she cooks.
Your Senator:
A. Will be found with a hooker and publicly scandalized.

Are you racist?
A. Yes, but the subtle, transplanted northeastern kind who’s really racist but would never say it to someone’s face.
B. Yes, and I refer to lifelong black friends by names like Shoeshine and Crawtator to their faces without flinching.
You had your first sexual experience:
A. On a green patch of grass underneath the waving intertwined leaves of a live oak with a tender, caring, and gentle female alligator. At least you thought it was female.

Running back:
A. The quarterback.
B. Sexual position.
Favorite cut of meat:
A. Boneless sirloin.
B. Youngest son (the mouthy one).
Your car just hit something on the road at night. It is:
A. A confused and demented retiree.

Ideal pet:
A. Pit bull fed nothing but human medical waste.
B. The Montauk Monster, but with racing stripes and a deep fryer.

See if it likes Fritos!
Armadillos:
A. Good target practice for a student driver.
B. Good target practice for a student chef.
In your freezer:
A. Stacks, keys, and a Glock you shouldn’t use for a year or two, if you know what I mean.
B. Stacks of meticulously wrapped, hand-cut flash-frozen meats from a variety of creatures.
Body in swamp is probably:
A. Dunno, but he’s wearing a thong and too much cologne.
B. Napping.
You sleep*:
A. With one eye open and one finger on the trigger of the handgun under your pillow.
B. Facedown in the nearest hammock.
Pencils down! Those answering mostly (A) will find greatest happiness aligning their shiny black hearts with the Florida Gators; the stalwarts selecting mostly (B) should rent their ragged souls to the Tigers of LSU for the duration of Saturday night’s game. This has been a public service of EDSBS and Swindle Industries, LLC.
*TRICK QUESTION! Both of these could be either! Which just proves, we’re all brothers**, no matter the jersey.
**It’s just that some brothers are stronger, faster, and have better pass rush capabilities.

Ltrain @ #33…uh, that question never entered my mind, and if you find the answer please keep it to yourself…
FearTheHat @ #34…I was in Malaysia with a friend and wearing a Gator hat, board-shorts, gator tee-shirt and flip-flops and a coonass comes running around a wall of a famous hotel shoutin’ “Hey Gatah!… Ah got the ‘98 LSU/Flawda game on the satelite tv in mah poolside cabana! Git oveh heah! We got some watchin’ an’ drinkin’ to do!” A few comments about what slackers my parents were for letting me go to Florida, but beyond that he was an exceptional host.
And there was the time at the Atlanta Hooters when the LSU guys who were buying our pitchers (because they kept scoring) and a reFSU fan kept shouting obscenities at us Gators so the LSU boys took him to the parking lot for offending their friends!
Never had a problem with the Bengal Tigers.

In my experience, jorts on girls are often very, very acceptable.

@ #35 - No, that’s a true Gator fan alright.

Hmm, I thought that pic of the Gator fan was actually a Georgia fan that dressed up as a Gator fan for Halloween*, no? An impressive effort since you can tell he grew his bowlcut out extra long before having it cut into a mullet just for the occasion.
* most years, this one included, FL-GA falls right around Halloween and costumes are often worn out and about in Jacksonville that weekend.

You, sir, have figured us out. Please pass this insight along to anyone who may have the good fortune to pass through Baton Rouge on a gameday weekend!

Red head. I wonder if the carpet matches his pubes.

Jason @ #27…well done! You Dawgs played it just right. As a cultural and sociological observation, it has been my experience that when dealing with a coon-ass, one must not take offense to their initial verbal volley which will most likely be an off-color or critical jibe. If you respond with good humor and without offense then you will get another look and if you have something of value to share, you are invited to join their particular milieu for the duration of the event. This observation and resultant technique has stood me extremely well at mardi gras, mud-bug boils, tailgates, etc.
Dr.Bundy @ # 30…if a cocktail’s claim to fame is that it killed a celebrity after excessive consumption it might be a good idea to steer clear…just sayin’.

Touche’ Harris.
But perusing the AJC, I can’t help but ask, just how is that whole “content of character” working out for MLK’s kids?
