CURIOUS INDEX, 2/26/09

Orson Charles says he’s not coming to Florida. Fuck all y’all. We’re outta here.
Charles has narrowed his list to Georgia, USC, or Tennessee, who’s busy shuffling deck chairs around to clear obvious and glaring space for Charles. Best of luck, Orson. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING, DAMMIT. Consolation will come with all that NASA money we’re stealing, or via the pride we feel in Gainesville’s diligent and extremely observant parking police. BWHAAHAHAHAHA. The anticipated early leader for the Tennessee starting spot is Jonathan Crompton. We fully support this decision, as Crompton’s talent hasn’t been fully utilized at Tennessee yet, and will require him throwing no fewer than 45 times a game for Tennessee to win. Hear us clearly: no less than 45 times. Anything less would be cheating him, really. Iowa gets 4% less interestingly spelled. Defensive backs Diaunte Morrow and Lance Tillison are transferring from Iowa. Just what you want to hear: Auburn’s qb competition is wide, wide, wide open, and Kodi Burns will not be the automatic starter. We recommend just flipping them around for a whole season in a new offense and seeing what happens. Alcoholic Blasphemy. Well, Maker’s is expensive anyway, and given the Michigan economy it’s probably a good idea to bump the whiskey budget down a notch anyway, even if drinking away 2008 hasn’t quite happened yet. |

Following the Orson Charles possibly to TN bit with the Crompton bit says it all, really. Anyone who thinks he’d actually take that plunge is borderline delusional, which….helllllo Kiffykins…..

Here’s a thought….maybe we could export the Gainesville ticketing police to UGA during the offseason to help with Fulmer Cup points since they seem to have a quota.

I suddenly have the desire to purchase a case of Makers Mark, even if it is crap.

King Cockfight says:
If it’s any consolation on the name thing, my distant cousin Katmunkee Cockfight is weighing whether to play wide receiver and/or defensive back at Florida State, Tulsa, or LSU.

People in Columbus can’t afford Maker’s. Advertising budget wasted.

O.C. isn’t qualifying, so whatever…
I am, however, quite interested in dead people getting ticketed for parking violations in excess of two weeks…my hat is off to our local civil servants’ level of diligence and effort in ensuring a positive flow of tickets…that’s money, baby!

Crabapple Buck says:
As a stockholder of Fortune Brands (FO) makers of Maker’s, which also owns Titleist and Footjoy, I support this advertising as genius. The out of work folks up north can stick to beer. But if they want schnapps, I recommend DeKuyper, also owned by Fortune Brands. Please EDSBS readers, drink up and help the economy.

OhioDawg says:
Goes w/o saying the Makers “ad” is a fark.
hobeg8r – good point, but remember, the Dawgs have announced their intention to police themselves this offseason. You may need to send prison guards in riot gear, not traffic cops.

It’s Ohio, they drink bathtub vodka there anyway.
Everybody knows that Maker’s Mark is a homer for UK. They even make special blue and white wax-dipped bottles when UK makes the Final Four.

CincySooner says:
He said Burns, Neil Caudle, redshirt freshman Barrett Trotter and possibly Chris Todd will receive comparable practice repititions
Now there’s a multi-headed, hell-spawned, hydra-beast that bears watching.

Ummm…am I the only one who noticed that the end of the Bugs cartoon has him standing in Georgia jumping (hopping?) up and down as Fla floats away? Meh, it’s probably just rage at being left behind in Georgia.
Also, @ Techie, you can get wax-dipped Maker’s bottles in almost any college’s colors (or at least in Clemson’s and S. Carolina’s, q.e.d.)

That’s too bad. I’d really like to see one of those someday.

Well I guess that Cromp starting locks up the East between Tebow and UGAly…..as if Tennessee wasnt going to furnish plenty of ass for the SEC this year.

I R A Darth Aggie says:
I guess I’m gonna have to pick up some Makers. And a little something to infuriate the Michigoobers even more:
Hurl! Hurl! To Sing Again!
Hurl! To this wretched fight song!
Hurl! While the hounds bark along!
Hurl! Hurl! This fight song sucks!
Vomit and spew!
Hurl! At this putrid show tune!
Hurl! May the song please end soon!
Hurl! Hurl! Our fight song sucks!
We barf in Maize and Blue!

Its the cheapest bourbon I buy. Anything cheaper than Maker’s is a mixer.

gtne91 also lights his cigars with $100 bills, never leaves the house without a top hat and tails, and sneers in your general direction. Plebians.

I was certain I’d see a “Where’s Waldo?” reference by now … followed by, “partially decomposed in a BMW in Gainesville.”

Orlando McCain ($1 to Verne) endorses Crumpton and Chris Todd as QBs for Vawls and Boogs, respectively.

Sparrow,
Nah, Im generally a tight ass when it comes to money. But I live in KY – we take our bourbon seriously.
But I do sneer in your general direction.

Three Days of Orange says:
It’s a well known fact that Dickel is for drankin’ and Jack Daniels is for Yankees.
Maker’s Mark panders. I know many a Kentuckian who will not partake MM
because of the Orange and White wax bottles that came out after the 1998 NC.
I am a Tennessean and I drink my George Dickel, but the good Lord knows
that KY isn’t just known for its jelly. ‘Em boys can fix up some liquor.

Brian O'Blivion says:
@25 I was a bartender at one point in my career, and there was a regular patron who claimed he invented a drink called the “Dickel Tickle”. It was similar to an Old Fashioned from what I can remember. But I saw no reason to mess with Dickel, couple cubes of ice maybe.
