THE EDSBS ANNUAL FUNDRAISER: LET'S MAKE ORSON GET A TATTOO

This is the time of the year where if you listen to NPR you encounter the scourge of every freeloading public good exploiter such as ourselves: the pledge drive.
We know you value quality news coverage. We know you like how NPR employs people with improbable names like "Sylvia Poggioli" and "Kai Rysdaal" Did you know that we actually give them new names when they come to work for NPR, and that they must abandon their old lives, personalities, and everything they own? THIS IS ALL IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU BLAH BLAH TOTE BAG--
Fortunately we do not have to do that thanks to the good graces of our corporate sponsors. We do like to ask you to give, and to give in service of two of our favorite causes: refugee service and pure hatin' rivalry.
Thus begins the EDSBS Annual Fundraiser, which may end with us getting a tattoo. Continue after the jump for details.
The Recipients: Refugee, Resettlement, and Immigration Services of Atlanta, a subsidiary of Church World Service and Episcopal Migration Ministries. They help resettle refugees to the United States, and now it's time for a short tutorial so you'll be the informed donor you should be. HELLO ADORABLE REFUGEE CHILDREN LEARNING THINGS:
In case you've missed the short biography, I used to work in the refugee community in Clarkston, Georgia, and was quite bad at it. There were many people, however, who were quite good at what they did. Many of them are at RRISA, and continue to do that work every day.
The following is a fun, easy how-to on how to become a refugee.
- Have someone kick you out of your country at gunpoint or in some other menacing manner.
- Go to a second country, live in a tent (or worse still, without a tent.)
- Land somewhere else where you don't speak the language, have no money, and likely only have the clothes on your back and your high school diploma taped to your leg for safe-keeping. Oh, and you might have children with you, too. Small, terrified children.
It's a bad thing to be, and the United States accepts a given number of them a year as part of an international humanitarian agreement with Great Britain, Canada, and other countries who offer them some form of haven.
The process is conducted through contractor agencies like RRISA. Refugees take the most longest plane flight of their lives to the United States from one of any number of troubled places: Congo, Sudan, Burma, Bhutan/Nepal, Somalia, Burundi, Iraq...there's not really a shortage. They are not granted citizenship, though that is a long-term option. They are given work permits and a case worker who will assist them in finding a job. The sponsoring agency finds them an apartment, their children are enrolled in school, and in six months it is sink-or-swim for someone who seven months earlier was sitting in a refugee camp half a world away thinking in another language.
Think about what you've had to deal with in the past six months, and it is unlikely to compare. If it does, you are a refugee who has acquired an appetite for college football, and this bodes very well for your chances of successful assimilation into a happy American life. Congratulations.
RRISA does all of this, settling over 550 refugees in the Atlanta area in the year 2010, and does it with a budget mostly derived from Federal funding. That's been a bit shy lately, and this is where your love for your alma mater and hatred for someone else's comes in handy.
THE GIVING AND THE FORMAT WE LIKE IT IN: Scores, of course. Donations will go to RRISA's general fund for all services including resettlement, children's programs, employment, and family support. For the sake of competition, we suggest you give in the form of a score from a game you remember fondly. For instance, we'd suggest giving $34.31 if you were a Florida fan, or perhaps $31.06 if you were an Alabama fan, or maybe even $37.60 if you were an Iowa fan wishing to rub it in the eyes of a Michigan State fan.
VERY IMPORTANT THING: After you specify your gift, please select the "SPECIAL EVENT" tab from the Donation Detalis options and enter "EDSBS/[YOUR SCHOOL]" in the form specifying your school, and leave the address as "NA" if you don't want to send someone a letter showing off your charity. We'll keep a tally by school and update the standings for most and least charitable schools. In past fundraisers the Midwest leads the way, so step up your game, SEC-ers. The Slow States lead us in charitable giving, and this cannot stay if we are truly to be a conference of champions. (Also, they're REALLY smug about it while being absolutely right, the worst kind of smugtivity.)
THE GIVE AND THE GET: The winning school by donation will receive their own huge list--and we mean HUGE--of all the things that make them awesome, fictional and real. We'll also trick out EDSBS in their school colors for the week and build in a week of customized programming for them along the way.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. If you, the EDSBS Commentariat, somehow go insane and raise $50,000 as a community, we will get a tattoo of your choosing. There are a few rules:
- No profanities. I'm not going around with a popular sentiment about Clemson on our bodies for the rest of our life.
- We choose the tattoo artist, placement, and size
- We will be fair about the size.
- Not on the chest, though. I'm not shaving the Selleck.
- The tattoo must be a logo or symbol, not words.
- The tattoo must not be Florida State-affiliated. Leave us the shreds of our dignity.
There. IS THAT COMMITMENT ENOUGH FOR YOU? Do some good, embarrass your less charitable rivals, and potentially ink history onto my tender flesh in the name of charity. This will run through the week with frequent, possibly gently annoying reminders. Do your best, or as it applies to our very skin, your worst. The competition ends on Friday, and a word of warning: we've cheated and placed Florida in the lead to get this started.
(Full disclosure: I'm friends with the director of RRISA. Don't let this spoil your opinion of them or her. however.)

"Fair about the size"?
Aw, man, I was going to suggest a life size tattoo of Phil Fulmer sumo wrestling Charlie Weis. Obviously, this involved you eating a whole lot of Ben & Jerry’s, too.
I'm too old school...
Giving is great, but I wouldn’t get a tattoo under any circumstance. Why mar your body, even for a good cause?

Saw me a Drive By Truckers show Saturday night
It was pretty good. I can give you the setlist as best as I could type it into my phone (at least until some redneck behind me started bitching about it and my collared shirt). They were all very, very drunk and the sound was mixed pretty badly (at best, the rhythm guitar only drowned out 80% of the lead guitar).

I'm sorry it wasn't up to snuff
I saw one online a few weeks ago and hey were lit as hell. I hope they don’t make too big of a habit of that. Last time I saw them, 06 maybe? Cooley passed out during the encore but the rest of it was a badass show.
by Tracy Rocker's Appetite on Apr 11, 2011 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions
They were fine, I enjoyed the show, it just wasn't great
They got in a bunch of songs I don’t like (I Do Believe, Pulaski, Perfect Timing, I’m Sorry Huston, Dancin’ Ricky, bunch of other Shonna stuff). But they got in most of my favorites (at least the non-Isbell ones). And they played a raging 6 song encore (mercy buckets, used to be a cop, dead drunk & naked, hell no I ain’t happy, ronnie & neil, lookout mountain)

Love the Truckers
They are great if you catch them in any state short of absolutely shit-faced, even then they are awesomely entertaining. The Shonna songs I can do without.
Still, I must say I’m surprised that two Cooley songs are on your list of not likes… in time he will grow on you.

I like Cooley more than Hood
Hood’s voice grates my ears, and I think Cooley generally writes better songs (musically and lyrically). Where The Devil Don’t Stay, Carl Perkins’ Cadillac, Cottonseed, 72, Women Without Whiskey are all among my favorite DBT songs. I don’t hate Pulaski and Perfect Timing, I just don’t like them. To me they’re just kind of meh songs without much interesting going on musically or lyrically.

Partially agree
When it comes to writing: Cooley > Hood, but visually Hood > Cooley. I do not dig anything Shonna has done as the lead and kind of wish she’d return to only doing the background vocals. Neff has brought back a nice sound that’s been gone for many years.
Overall, I’ve actually gone to more Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit shows in the last few years and enjoyed them more.
I once saw DBT 3 days in a row and each of the shows were great. It was back right after the Dirty South record was released. Great line-up and great setlists. The one in Jax lasted almost 4 hours. Glorious.

DBT played an impromptu show at a struggling but historic CD shop here in Lex, which I really admired
I wish I could go to Isbell’s show in Louisville next weekend but I’m swamped. Too close to finals. Do you have his new album yet? It’s supposed to be off the chizzain.

Only because you are my kinda-e-friend
GO HERE TO LISTEN TO IT TODAY FOR FREE!!!!
It doesn’t hit the streetz officially until tomorrow.
I’ve come to appreciate Isbell more and more. He’s mellowed to a point (compared to the Cerberus that is Hood/Cooley) and I dare say his songwriting is passing them.
And Chloe, since we are talking music, I will be attending the Bleu Edmonson show on Wed @ Country Line BBQ.

DBT Wear
Collared shirt might have been a bad idea. Somewhat seriously, for protective assimilation one needs to dress down as much as possible. I borrowed a fatigue jacket and fit right in – the non-student fanbase is really something to see at the 40 Watt, anyway.

There's definitely a divide between the preppy college kids and the rest
And we were definitely in the former group. But really, we all go to a show to listen to good music and have a good time, not to pick fights based on fashion (and he was absolutely looking to start something). His GF got extremely indignant when my friend bumped into her and spilled maybe a shot of beer, even after he apologized. Some people just aren’t the show type/maturity beyond high school type, I guess.

I was at the Friday show. Great shit, but you’re dead on about the crowd. I saw a Brett Favre look alike (hell, it might’ve been him, given his recent woes) punch this college kid wearing overalls right in the back. The kid didn’t even notice, such was his state of drunkenness. I saw at least five people puke in the bathroom. I saw a fat redneck fall flat on his ass after drinking at least five bourbon and cokes. Hell of a time.
For rock shows
I just put on some steel toes, jeans, and whatever tshirt is on top of the pile. A collar would def be a little wierd at a Truckers show, unless you were being totally ironic, but someone wouldn’t get the joke and your above story would ensue anyways.

Hey guys
Sorry I haven’t been able to chime in on the DBT thread in a little while, I’ve been doing other things. I’ve never really worried about what to wear at one, I think I usually go with blue jeans, boots(in case someone’s ass needs to get kicked, just kidding I’ve never once kicked an ass) and either a t-shirt or a flannel shirt depending on weather.
On the Hood vs. Cooley vs. Shonna debate. I like em all, but for different reasons. Certain shonna tracks definitely grate on me more than any of the others, but some of em I think are beautiful. Cooley definitely has more of a ‘country gold’ sound and Patterson is straight rock and roll most of the time but lately has been erring on the side of soul. It really depends on the mood I’m in. I feel that all their songs have a time and a place and that’s why they released the records they have. They have hundreds of tracks they’ve cut, but never released because they weren’t sure how they would go with the rest of any of the others to make an album.
my 2 or 3 cents
by Tracy Rocker's Appetite on Apr 11, 2011 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions
The Purgatory Line is nice
I think Hood is best when he shuts up & rocks. Even if his voice didn’t hurt to listen to, I don’t think he’s a good lyricist most of the time (there are exceptions—The Boys from Alabama is pretty awesome). And if your voice is neither pretty nor singing something pretty, better to use your significant talent (which he has) to make ass-kicking rock. Dead drunk & naked, lookout mountain, ronnie & neil, etc.

Try his solo album
Rising Son and Assassin are great. The rest of the album is just kind of him in a serious depression/lull. He never rocks out, but its interesting to hear him at a low point.

And Here we go
Because Fuck You, it’s my body and I’ll do whatever the hell I wish with it. Tattoos are a form of free expression. They allow us to see up front a little piece of the person sporting them (even if that piece is just how stupid they are).
To quote the sign over the door of the tattoo parlor I frequent (I have 5 tattoos): “You body is your temple, we’re here to paint the walls”
I have made a donation, but I did not follow directions and do it properly. Not that it matters, while I recommend tattoos, I do not recommend getting them on a whim so it’s probably good that my donation will not be added to NDs total.

In my opinion, 28-27 was much greater than 22-19.
Would have given the same, but stuck with my alma mater for just a couple bucks extra.
For me, nothing ever tops winning the whole shooting match.
And I’ll never understand folks who got more out of beating Bama than winning the MNC. We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. Maybe you can blame it on the fact that I’m not a lifelong Bama resident or Auburn fan.
Much easier to ignore the questionable quality of things that are covered in cheese.
I understand winning the whole thing was important
but i still give the edge to the Bama game, in part because it also gets a hefty share of the credit for Auburn winning it all. Down 24-0 on the road in front of 102,000 fans was the closest Auburn came to seeing everything slip away. Conversely, Auburn led almost the entire game against Oregon in front of what was essentially a home crowd.
I'm not an Auburn fan...
but if I were, I’d take the $28.27 donation over the $22.19 donation, even while conceding the NC was a bigger deal. Stick it to your rival.

Gen. Hill is kin to me. I try to visit his grave on Main St. every time I get back to campus
Have you ever read about his work at the alma mater? It’s great stuff. Notable parts:
D. H. Hill did not like Yankees. His fierce disdain for folks from the North and particularly from New England, where abolitionists abounded, even found its way into the pages of an Algebra textbook he produced in 1857. Indeed, some of the problems he devised were almost humorous in terms of how they castigated the people of the North. “A Yankee mixes a certain number of wooden nutmegs, which cost him 1/4 cent apiece, with a quantity of real nutmegs, worth 4 cents apiece, and sells the whole assortment for $44; and gains $3.75 by the fraud. How many wooden nutmegs were there?”
The behavior of the students, like that on many other college campuses in the South, was raucous and unsettling. Many of the approximately 90 students were virtually out of control.58 Riots were common. Drinking and carousing were widespread. If suspended, troublemakers would not go home, largely because they did not have enough money to pay their way. Waiting to be readmitted, they would walk around campus or sleep all day in the town’s boarding houses. Even worse, at night, under the cover of darkness, they would entertain themselves by making mischief, much of it mean spirited. On Thursday, December 22, 1853, for example, students attacked the houses of two professors with rocks and eggs and set off several bombs on the campus, “the report being heard some four or five miles around the College.”
Also, you get a rec for quoting Cooley. As I mentioned above, I saw DBT on Saturday for my first time.

I too was there.
And it was one of the most fun sporting events I’ve ever attended.
Fun fact—at a piano bar in Oxford after the game, someone (me and my roommates) kept paying the band to play Ole Miss fight songs. This caused a fight between Ole Miss students (not me) and LSU students. The band broke up the fight by playing “When The Saints Go Marching In.” It was pretty close to Sunday by that point, I guess.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Losing in that way hurt like the pain of 1000 ant bites, but the sheer shitheaddedness of a large portion of the folks in the grove afterwards was unbearable. I’m not going to say “all Ole Miss fans are assholes” because I hate it when people say the same about LSU and visits to our campus. But…there’s a definite line between teasing/taunting and just being a giant prick. The warm bosom of Paula Deen’s buffet in Tunica made the night better. Getting the fuck out of Oxford was the first step, though.
The biological purpose of pain is to prevent the recurrence of stupidity.
fair enough.
If you’ve followed any Ole Miss news lately—and I’m talking about Colonel Ackbear or whatever—you can pick up that a lot of our fans are assholes. That being said, I like to think of Oxford as a great road trip, and I think a lot of people feel the same way I do. I really am sorry that your experience, football game notwithstanding, didn’t turn out so great.

Full Disclosure Dept:
We rolled up there on 2 tour buses loaded with equal parts LSU and OM fans, all from the New Orleans area. Most of us have known one another for more years than we’d care to admit, and just about all of us get along fine. Before the game we were wined and dined (no seriously, yall…wine at a tailgate???) and good times were had by all. After the game, though, things got bad. So bad that even the OM fans in the troop were apologizing to us. We hightailed it back to Tunica as quickly as possible so some of the less reserved of us (not me…I’m a lover, etc.) didn’t end up busting knuckles with some of Oxford’s finest residents.
So to sum up, before game = fine. After game = not fine. Unfortunately, I think we made our last trip to Oxford. Every fan base has their share of shitheads. I just had a bad experience with those in Oxford. Conversely, this year’s road trip to Nashville was fantastic. I didn’t spot any Vandy fans the entire time, though.

Here's where I have to admit an assumption about your name
During my time @ UF a lot of my friends made a drink that was dubbed the Bourbon Meyer at tailgates. It was your run of the mill John Daly, Drunk Arnold Palmer, or whatever name you had given it.
Vodka + Sweet Tea + Lemonade in whatever mixture you find most pleasing.
Don’t know the connection, but that’s what I see and think.

I honestly had no idea there was a "Bourbon Meyer" cocktail
I thought I was so fucking clever when I came up with it. I thought, ‘hey, I like bourbon, and bourbon rhymes with Urban.’ Originally I thought I was going to do some sort of “drunk Urban Meyer” twitter, but I realized there is nothing funny about Urbz.
And yea, Firefly + Lemonade is a John Daly to me – I mean, c’mon, it’s an Alcoholic Arnold Palmer. Shouldn’t a “Bourbon Meyer” actually have bourbon in it??

So your “Bourbon Meyer” doesn’t contain bourbon? I mean, I get it, it’s alliterative. But it’s got vodka in it.
And I am unsure of how long you were even in school with Urban as the head coach, so your connection to people of my cycle was unknown.

Liquor distributors and sales reps are among the most fun people I encounter regularly
It’s their job to know everything there is to know about what they’re selling and the best way to do that is to sample the wares in every manner possible, and to get their customers to tell them drunk stories.

Agree.
When I last bartended at a tap house (99 taps + about 100 different bottles) we did a promotion called Beer Brackets that coincided with March Madness. It was basically a 64-beer bracket with each round consisting of 1 week of sales. The highest selling beer in each matchup would progress to the next round/week.
The distributor for Left Hand brewery would bring in a big group each week and buy ridiculous amounts of beer for people at the bar to get their beer over the top – it was a little bit of “cheating” but they tipped well and the customers loved them. Left Hand’s Sawtooth Ale ended up topping Bud Light in the finals, which was a huge upset. (The fact that Bud Light was the highest selling brew consistently in a bar with that kind of selection made me sick)
Heute, Ich bin ein Kreuzschlüssel.
If it wasn't for Spotted Cow
Miller Lite and Bud Light would by highest sellers by a wide margin.
In terms of sales for me it goes Spotted Cow>Miller Lite>Bud Light>>>Coors Light>>>>>>>>>Everything Else
"In Wisconsin, New Year's Eve is just regular drinking with funny hats on" ~Lewis Black
Malt beverages?
So they’re not actually just vodka & coke / lemonade / tea? What a gip!
Heute, Ich bin ein Kreuzschlüssel.
It's Zima redux
BTW, most of the “mixer” beverages use some portion of malt rather than 100% distilled grain alcohol. It’s simply cheaper, and can be covered up with other flavors (or may even enhance them).
I've been telling them to buy Smirnoff for years.
BTW, Smirnoff is the same drink. They just changed the labels and hoped no one’d notice!
How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?
I believe it's illegal, too
In New Zealand, they have all kinds of pre-packaged mixed drinks that are made with real booze. I don’t think most U.S. states allow that under their liquor laws, which regulate beer differently from hard liquor. It may be just that the booze companies can’t profitably market real mixed drinks, because they’d fall under the more restrictive laws concerning spirits while competing against faked mixed drinks (which are just flavored beer and regulated as such).
We should have laws based on alcohol content, not ingredients and methods of manufacturing. And Georgia should have goddam Sunday liquor sales.
Either love your players or get out of coaching.
It's not necessarily the laws that dictate what goes into the drink
It’s the laws that dictate who can sell it. It’s much easier, and much cheaper, to get a “Beer, Wine, and Malt Beverages” liquor license than it is to get a full blown liquor license.
Calling it a “Malt Beverage” gives them a much wider network of resellers to work with
"In Wisconsin, New Year's Eve is just regular drinking with funny hats on" ~Lewis Black
Looks like they're trying to break into the Mike's Hard Lemonade market
What scares me is a company from Connecticut is marketing anything as “Southern-Style”
"In Wisconsin, New Year's Eve is just regular drinking with funny hats on" ~Lewis Black
Southern Style, straight from Connecticut
I love products that have multiple contradictory geographic indicators. I bought this one over the weekend (for cooking):
Italian Swiss Colony Port made in New York (three foreign countries, one state, nicely done)
For a second I was thinking "well maybe New York used to be a Swiss colony and they have a lot of Italians"
But no that’s not correct, it was a Dutch Colony
"In Wisconsin, New Year's Eve is just regular drinking with funny hats on" ~Lewis Black
Italian Swiss Colony is a reference to an area of California wine country
So incredibly, they’ve actually pulled off references to Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, California, and New York.
This actually beats New York Brand Italian Style Texas Toast made in Cleveland, Ohio.
Well, now I learned something
There were these Italian-speaking Swiss, who came to Sonoma, California in 1881, and founded a little colony and developed a wine-making tradition.
How New York gets involved, I’m not sure. I think money may have something to do with it. WHAR CECIL NEWTON, WHAR?!
Either love your players or get out of coaching.
See these are little tid bits of knowledge that would come in handy next time a customer asks me about a wine
I’m not much of a wine drinker, so I usually just paraphrase whatever the hell the distributor gave me to put in the wine list
"In Wisconsin, New Year's Eve is just regular drinking with funny hats on" ~Lewis Black
You should watch "James May's Road Trip."
On BBC America. Not that you learn that much about wine, but it’s pretty funny, and they met a really cute French chick on the last episode.

I don't think San Jose State has won a game worth donating for in a lonnnng time...
so I’ll go with the wife’s alma mater and donate $38.24 in honor of the Hogs beating GIGGITAH! this year…
on the west coast our football is WAC
What about this for the tat?

FOUND IT!
Dad told a story of the game he went to with a buddy at the old Archbold stadium, where they drank after each score. And barely made it home. After a score of 71-0. I was never sure what game it was….
Syracuse 71- Colgate 0. in November, 1959.
I see I do have a game to remember. I wasn’t even a twinkle on a twinkle, but Mom did have my name picked out….waiting on the little baby girl to come.
33-28
A throwback from the Lake Wobegon days of UVA football, when all the backs were strong, all the linemen were good looking, and all the records were above average.
$33.19
Although an even 40 would work also.

Some innernets problems right now but once they're resolved I pledge $67.65
Because one way or another we are all refugees from GREG or [redacted]
Damn you Rich Rod..
The last three years mean that
a). The Illinois game is arguably our biggest victory of the era.
b). Our defense couldn’t stop wheel routes.
c). Michigan fans will likely end up donating 67.65 for their victory over [COACH REDACTED].

I think $62.24 should really get Revered Author's attention.
And a followup of $42.17 for 1997’s national title for Aunt Stabby, too.

I was off the interwebs most of the day.
Just getting through these posts now. Sure took us long enough, huh? I would love to give $62.24, but we honestly can’t afford to give that much right now. However, I can give $24.17 in memory of the most glorious game I’ve ever seen live:

I went with $61.10 (Fresno St. 2008)
Not as awesome as 43-42, but a fun thrashing of a rival.

In honor of the one day New Jersey ever cared about college football (Rutgers over Louisville in 2006)
is Greg Schiano still the Rutgers coach? What ever happened to that guy?
Schiano is still at Rutgers. His contract runs through 2016.
However, Rutgers has once again regressed to their historical mean (sucks ass). After a great 2006 season (11-2) his teams have gone 8-5, 8-5, 9-4 and 4-8. Those numbers don’t look that bad on the surface, but their OOC shedule was pretty weak. Their Big East conference record over that span was 5-2, 3-4, 5-2, 3-4 and 1-6.

This is one of the best ESPN scenes ever
The kick, the kicker pointing at the on-field camera, the rush onto the field – I could give a rip about Rutgers, but it’s still one of the coolest TV footbaw moments I’ve ever seen.
