GEAR OUT OF CONTEXT: AUBURN
Again, if you get political about this, we’ll kill you all with a cattle gun. We were watching CNN’s story on Oklahoma lawmaker Sally Kern, who thinks that homosexuality is a bigger threat to the United States than “Islam or terrorism,” when we spotted NCAA sports gear during the “let’s interview the twanging commoners” portion of the story.

The woman’s nothing remarkable, and doesn’t say anything totally guffaw-worthy like “Gays shouldn’t be allowed to eat flatmeats off mah plates” or anything; she just says that the woman does have a right to free speech. We have a right to free speech, too, and would like to say that whatever sex ninja moves she knows must be spectacular, because she’s married the sexiest man in the Central Time Zone. Hellooooooooooo, Mr. Earp…
This puts Auburn well ahead of Florida and Ohio State, two schools whose gear was featured in a tasing and the world’s greatest incident of public masturbation ever, respectively.
(BTW, if you do watch the CNN clip, the only clear and present danger to our national security we see is Sally Kern’s hair. GAY BURRRRRNNNN!!!)

Am I the only one surprised that CNN takes advertising dollars from Jack Daniels?
I find the two entities an odd combination, and wonder if JD is getting their money’s worth on CNN.
I guess advertising on EDSBS would be a waste, as well, as we are all very familiar with their fine products.

I have a gay problem. This is the perfect thread to open up about it. I love lesbians. There, I said it. But don’t think I love them all. Just the sexy ones that wore velvet pants, looked like playboy models built like a shit-brick house, and danced in the Art Bar in Columbia that glorious night 8 or 10 years ago when me and a buddy of mine ended up there in a drunken blur that ended with visions of those greek goddess-like venuses dancing to Prince’s “Pussy Control” and kissing and groping like junior high kids at lunch time. Oh lord, what a sight that was. That’s when I knew I loved lesbians.

Maybe she’s pissed because some local leather queen mistook her for a recently shaven bear and put some moves on her?
(Not great, I know, but it’s hard to think of something that won’t get me red carded again.)

When an Auburn fan is the most reasonable person in a given situation, you know that shit has just gotten completely out of control.

Put Sally Kern in a pair of sensible shorts and walking sandals in Provincetown, and watch the fur fly. So to speak.

Gas station Subway = boondocks.
Other key (but not surprising) piece of info from the wikipedia eye of truth: “Kern also made headlines for authoring a bill, which recently passed the Oklahoma House of Representatives, mandating that students who believe in Young Earth creationism still receive passing grades in Earth science classes.”
How long ago was the Scopes monkey trial again? I thought this one already got ironed out; but I guess we can work something out, Oklahoma: You keep sending us Carrie Underwood’s, and you can continue learning about creationism.

OOC,
you went to Art Bar? Was every other bar in 5 Points closed that night?
Conversely, that does not sound like too bad of an experience.
I have heard that it is not as friendly on the eyes as you described, though.

Coop - the Art Bar (was- still is?) a crunchy, alternative club and everything that goes along with that description was there. Sadly, the crunchy hippy chick crowd just wasn’t that into engineers.

I grew up in Tulsa, graduated from OU, and I love the state to death….
but, I do have to say that there seems to be a disproportionate amount of racism, religious biggotry, and general red-neckery in the state. Especially when you get out into the Kountry (with a capital ‘K’, please).
Kern’s statement saddens me.

“Sadly, the crunchy hippy chick crowd just wasn’t that into engineers.”
I think “crunchy” and “hippy” were not really needed in this sentence.

I may be wrong but it looks like the woman in the Abuurn shirt has a 2004 Commemorative People’s National Championship cigarette lighter in her hand.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think the Scopes trial really decided anything. Didn’t the teacher still get convicted?

Hmmm… bama recruits wearing Oklahoma sweatshirts for the witness stand… now Oklahomans wearing Auburn sweatshirts for the eyewitness news. Surely this can’t be a coincidence?

#22 - Yea, I believe you are indeed correct. But the point wasn’t his guilt (he was), it was to create a circus around a foolish idea to get people to realize it’s absurdity.

Speaking of Spitzer…….If he would have been a frequent reader of this site, he would have realized he only needed $1500 to get some fast gash….just like the ad says with no faxing or credit checks either!

Unfortunately, the video of the tOSU guy has been removed off the internet, or it seemed so a couple of weeks ago.
