THE CURIOUS INDEX, 2/2/2012

PrintSHOOOORRRRRYUKEN.
Now the recruiters on staff can be returned to their real jobs as Schwan's salesmen, and the business of scratching balls and mumbling during press conferences can resume on college campuses around our fair nation. The vast expanse of signing day is too much to cover in the span of a single Index of Curiosity, so let's just review the basics, and then wave our hands over the whole matter like Tony Randall waving a vermouth bottle over a cold vodka martini like a boozy priest.
OMG THE SHOCKERS. Our favorite flip from yesterday among many? Aziz Shittu tweeting out "Revenge of the Nerds" in committing to Stanford's ridiculous class of offensive linemen, mostly, thought Torshiro Davis claiming LSU was "unhappy" was also funny because he probably had Jordan Jefferson as a recruiting guide, and we get to imagine Jordan Jefferson running facefirst into lampposts and then yelling out "WHO PUT THAT SHIT THERE I HATE THIS PLACE."
SUMMARY OF UNSURPRISING FACTS. The usual aristocracies dominate the top ten, but please note Michigan and Stanford sitting in the top ten. (Michigan, though silent on signing day, is back hauling in the recruits they should, and that's a really good thing since Dothraki chief Meyer is on the loose and running on the plains of Ohio.) Florida did just fine, and may still be in the running for Stefon Diggs. Notre Dame! We just felt like they needed an exclamation point, since they got none on Signing Day, something Brian Kelly might be totally fine with, actually.
DGB HAD QUITE A SCENE. Bill C was there, and recorded the entire weird scene. Thayer Evans gets his usual quote you suspect might have been off the record, but whatever, and captures the intense love of Lane Kiffin, suitor, in one phrase:
"He was kind of like the girlfriend that’s just like, ‘This is just a phase you’re going through, you really don’t want to break up with me,’" Tracy Beckham said.
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape his love, DGB. Unless you commit to Mizzou, and then later, buttwad. He then peels out in the parking lot and hits a fence.
ON-SCENE, ETC. Pat Forde hung out with Derek Dooley, who surprisingly did NOT talk about how much Clay Travis wants him fired once during signing day. Andy Staples was with the Vandy staff, who balled out in six limos after pulling in the best recruiting class in Vandy history. (Data sets, low points, etc, but still.) The F in Franklin stands for flossy.
YES JIM TRESSEL HAS A JOB. We know, he's working for Akron now, overseeing Terry Bowden. We've had this fever dream before, except that in ours they were running contraband through Algiers during the Vichy regime, and there was this lady, and never, ever eat half a pint of Creme Brulee ice cream before bed, because this all ended with a horrendous love scene.

Yes, things are actually happening.
Unlike Clash of Kings, where I labored through the first 600 pages because nothing happened.
So you're saying I should keep reading?
because it took me 3 months to get through the first book. and i’m only about 100 pages in the 2nd and i keep finding better things to do with my time

I was the same way w/Book 2- eventually I forced myself to labor through the middle and all the Sansa chapters. By the end the book redeems itself somewhat. Ended up blowing through the last 200 pages or so.
so you're saying i have to ready 600 pages of shit?

But as I’ve said earlier, at least through the first three books, Dany is the storyline I care least about, cause every time it cuts to her, it kills the damn momentum of the story. Jon too, after he goes to the Wall.

5 is crazy
He who rides a tiger cannot dismount
So, here's what I'm getting out of this conversation
Even the folks who love this series will tell you that the books are uneven, many of the characters are unlikeable, and you sometimes have to wade through 600 pages of shit. I’m no Nick Saban, but I’m pretty sure I don’t have time for that. So I guess I’ll either stick to HBO or take a pass entirely.

I’d say even the unlikable characters are very well written, which matters more to me. If I liked everyone in the story, it probably wouldn’t be much of a story.

by T-Jax, Field General on Feb 2, 2012 12:04 PM EST up reply actions
I would say the unlikeable characters are great ones
I hate them, and want them to die, but I dont mind reading them.
It is more of everytime I would see Sansa I would think “What in the fuck is this stupid whiney bitch going to do to fuck up someones life in this chapter”
rather than “wow this is a useless chapter”
He who rides a tiger cannot dismount
For me...
… it was more of an issue of “STOP PISSING AND MOANING AND DREAMING ABOUT KING FRIDAY. THIS AIN’T THE LAND OF DAMN MAKE BELIEVE. JUST DO SOMETHING.”
Editor, Dawg Sports.
Go Dawgs!
And furthermore,
the uneveness, it has more to do with jumping into more politics and less action. So it is important in its own right, but the action sequences tend to be more excitng, simply because they are action.
I was never bored reading persay, but some parts of the book wouldnt appeal to everybody
He who rides a tiger cannot dismount
I find he's gotten a little sloppy with the telling rather than showing at times
(this is what happens when your editor is a fan. See: Robert Jordan’s wife editing for him.)
This leads me to “Wait. I missed that awesomeness while I got two Dany chapters, an Asha and a Sansa chapter where Littlefinger describes the awesomeness offscreen? FUUUUUUUUUU.”

CSB time:
A buddy of mine who is handy with electronics and whatnot built his own arcade-style cabinet with joysticks and 4 button banks to accommodate four players. The old ROM’s for the classic games were very easy to get, but I think he had to download a couple of different emulators because of functionality issues with some games. We used to play the hell out of some side-scrolling adventure and fighting games. Sadly, his then-fiancee threw a fit over the rather unsightly beast when they moved in together, so he sold it on Craigslist. The only silver lining is that the fight helped him avoid making the mistake of marrying her.

Yes, an offense based on bootlegs is PERFECT for Peyton. Without getting into the injury and salary cap issues.
Free at last!
Someone brought this up on BRB
I don’t see how it makes any sense. QB play is doesn’t even crack the top 10 in terms of issues that need addressed.
Plus, having to cheer Pey-Pey would be ugly and wrong.

Off Topic Question:
I’m having my students write on representations of various “misfit” groups in entertainment media. (We watched a PBS special “America in Primetime: Misfits” for their overall context. The full special is still available free on the pbs site). They’ll be picking a particular type of misfit (as they choose to define it) and tracing it across 3 or 4 tv shows, movies, books, songs, ads, whatever. Any suggestions on resources I can share with them where they can find useful and intelligent discussions on television, movies, books, music, etc.? I’m thinking of things like Bitch Flicks or the AV Club.

Not far from the truth
On his first recruiting trip as QB coach a few years back he was denied a rental car at an airport. I think the AD had to pull some strings to get him one.
Quite a gamble to go with one so young and inexperienced. But he is smart and definitely understands how to run an offense on the field. Hopefully he can run it just as effectively from the booth. I trust Coach Whit on this one, though. God knows our offense hasn’t been very effective ever since he was our QB.

I dated a girl in college whose grandmother went to high school with Larry McMurtry, and was the inspiration for Jacy in Last Picture Show. Her sister owns a bed and breakfast there now (the Lonesome Dove Inn) and I’ve spent more time in that part of Texas than anyone should admit to. I have met Larry a few times though. He’s… odd.

Dear World,
While using those walkie-talkie speaker phone setting on your cell phone is asinine in any situation, please especially refrain from using this setting while in a gym locker room and when the phone call is from a creditor informing you that some service is 2 months overdue and will be shut off at midnight. Double especially don’t start to haggle with the creditor while still on speaker phone, so that everyone in the locker room know knows that you are the type of person who doesn’t pay his bills and tries to talk his way out of them.

Public Bathroom Cell Phone use
When did this become appropriate?
I was in the bathroom the other day and a guy walks in on his phone. Never misses a beat, just keeps talking. I finish and flush and he gives me the stinkeye like I am the one being a douchebag.

Some days, it seems like there isn't enough coffee.
Some nights, it seems like there isn't enough vodka.

So help me God if I hear a flush whatever relationship we have is over.

and embarrass the guy. At least I’m thinking that’s the douchebag reasoning he had.

So there is now something called "Bud Light Platinum"
Uhhh….
by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on Feb 2, 2012 4:09 PM EST reply actions
It's 6% alcohol but claims to be "light?"
I guess they mean the color and taste. Also, it has a fancy blue bottle. I refuse to buy it if the bottle doesn’t change color, however.
It has something like 9 less calories than regular Bud
which is impressive since its 6%, but that is a statistical tie.
They have had to strip every carbohydrate out of that beer…meaning all the taste.
Not that Bud had much to begin with.
The best description Ive seen is its targeting at young drinkers with a higher income but that dont want to look pretentious drinking with their friends.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
Sure, they have the Braves
But it’s a third rate symphony.

by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on Feb 2, 2012 4:44 PM EST up reply actions
I've heard the Noel Coward quote as direction of Italy
Others quotes attributed to various people have said France. The difference probably comes because the British tend to call sweet/red vermouth “Italian” and dry/white “French” regardless of where it is actually made (the same way we throw around the words Parmesan and Champagne).
I thought the line was "a long, hard look at a bottle of vermouth'
I am in favor of no sport which puts a stick in the hands of an Irishman - K.K.R.
rinse out? Rinsing the glass with the vermouth or with soap/water?
I haven’t washed my martini glass in over ten years. I consider my last martini the stock that helps build my next one.
Remember, James Bond's martini actually mixed them
From the novel “Casino Royale”:
“A dry martini,” Bond said. “In a deep champagne goblet. Three measures of Gordon’s, one of Vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice cold, then add a thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?”
“Certainly, monsieur.”
