AMERICAN FOOTBALL BY HAROLD PINTER
American Football
Hallelujah!
It works.
We blew the shit out of them.
We blew the shit right back up their own ass
And out their fucking ears.
It works.
We blew the shit out of them.
They suffocated in their own shit!
Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord for all good things.
We blew them into fucking shit.
They are eating it.
Praise the Lord for all good things.
We blew their balls into shards of dust,
Into shards of fucking dust.
We did it.
Now I want you to come over here and kiss me on the mouth.
--Harold Pinter

Damn you're up early
By the way, in case y’all missed it, Rich Brooks is absolutely killing it on twitter, which he thinks is bullshit.
To UK’s women’s basketball coach:

On the beach to his homeland…the place of his youth…so distant in time and space…so many young girls those days…they don’t come ’round like they used to:

Stunned to discover it is a real poem
but it brings me joy to know the (inappropriate personal attack that harshly slanders the poet’s personage and political worldview)’s poem wallows in obscurity as scathing satire, but is celebrated by those he intended to insult and scorn.

Rec'd for research.

Knowledge. EDSBS provides it.

Natch.
But I was referring to the whole demoralizing home loss to UConn and the tears of unfathomable sadness thing.

Ahh, yo comprende.
As I am sure that the Michigan Men enjoyed your tears after last year’s ND/UConn game.

Is this going to be a series?
If so, I vote for e.e. cummings or Yeats next.
Maybe Shel Silverstein if THujone is willing to do the illustrations.

I've always been partial to "Autumn Begins in Martin's Ferry, Ohio"
I’m sure there are better ones out there but I’m a non-English major type so I haven’t read them. It was posted here on the first day of the season either last year or the year before.
I'm pretty sure Pinter...
Cribbed that from Alabama Poet Laureate, Joe Willie Namath.
Well, at least the last line.

Thank you

I'm more partial to this one:
“I believe that if you don’t want to do anything, then sit there and don’t do it, but don’t expect people to hand you a corn beef sandwich and wash your socks for you and unzip your fly for you. " Shel Silverstein

I'm assuming Curious Index
will be posted after the Nike Pro-Combat presentation. Michael Irvin is showing off the Miami uni and is cracking me up. And going WAAAAAAY longer than anyone else has so far.

P.S.
Lots of “Da U for You” and “palm trees, palm trees, palm trees.” Mr. Irvin, the NCAA would like to have a word…

Ohio State up now.
Their spokesman Scuri (I think?)…World War II vet who played for OSU in the 40’s, giving an impromtu history lesson. Almost went longer than Irvin. Uni is tribute to ’42 team.

Bill Willis played on that team...
first African-American in the NFL. tOSU retired is number (#99) recently.

Not sure if qualifies as deep poetry, and the Vols aren’t my team, but I always liked the Judybats’ “Saturday.”
CHORUS
He hates his job.
He loves his girl.
He dreams his dream,
Futures unfurl.
The sun collides
with night and hey!
He talks to his dog,
Watches the big game on Saturday.
No lie
I’m sexually attracted to that picture.
I’m so glad I was there in person for that. And I can’t wait to finally give Rich Rod the beating he so richly deserves. A little tougher when Pat friggin White isn’t your QB, eh Rich?
Son,
Not only did Rich Rod beat you guys while Pat White was his QB, he beat you before Pat White was his QB. Bill Stewart beat you last year with Jarrett Brown as QB, and he’ll do it again this year with Geno Smith as his QB.

I'm so glad
Mickey’s was here in person for that.

Somehow, Mickey’s just isn’t the same unless you’re slamming ’em out of the Big-Mouth jars.

Ahem
Those are called grenades. And nothing is better* than getting blitzed on Mickey’s and trying to figure out the rebus puzzles under the cap
God Bless Wisconsin – We’ve been coming up with ways to get you drunk since 1848.
*Okay there are a lot of things better, but when you’re on a Mickey’s binge, you’ve already thumbed your nose at the “finer” things in life
Balantine does the cap puzzle thing, too
And I’m still trying to figure out how a bee hive, a toothpick and a wrench go together outside my sex life.
