MEANWHILE....

Did you guys hear about the new uniforms we are breaking out for Saturday??

Alright Funny People, Give me your best sign for Saturday...

Biggest TCU game probably since Slinggin' Sammy Baugh! Colin Cowherd and many more across the country are calling the Frogs the best team in the country. Just went on gofrogs.com and all of the Upperdeck is sold out already, all that is left is vistors section and endzones. This weekend is going to be INSANE! We'll be making signs Friday night, either at Piel's or Mazur's house, waking up at 5 AM Saturday morning and will be in the front row for GameDay. So lets see if the IC can come up with some clever sign ideas. Go Frogs!

The Infamous Faust Tennis Interview

In case you missed it on Saturday morning....



In case you stopped following sports (I say sports because the result was on the front page of every media outlet in America):

TCU - 38
BYU - 7

On the 4th and 10 segment on First Take this AM, the question was asked "Which undefeated team besides the top 3 have the best chance to make the National Championship Game?" - The black guy arguing with Skip Bayless said TCU has a legitimate shot if Iowa loses (which they will), Texas loses (which they might), and USC loses (which they might).

Rif Ram...

Top 5 music-ers I like lately

BDub introduced me to Kid Cudi (left). I'd heard one of his songs but BDub encouraged the album. Quality, innovative, earnest "hip-hop" about things besides drugs, hos, etc.

I like when friends recommend good musica.

Here are my top 5 in the last run:
1. Avett Brothers - contemporary bluegrass-y
2. Last Shadow Puppets - Indie-ish and a tad sappy - unique sound, vocalist
3. Sunset Rubdown featuring Spencer Krug - snapping, biting lyrics and "riffs" - indie wouldn't be fair but rock just doesn't fit either
4. Cienfue - Spanish, has a mad guitarist
accompanied by some sort of twinkling chimes - Havent met a white person yet that didn't go nuts over them
5. Kid Cudi - from Cleveland and gives homage to Bone Thugs as well as his dead father - also mentions Cleveland Plains Dealer (newspaper) in a song, which won points for me
* Honorable Mention: Jurassic 5 - someone gave me the anthology recently. I'm 8 years behind, but damn, these boys are like the more polite Wu-Tang


Feel free to share, err, please share...

College GameDay in Provo this Saturday for the weekend's biggest game.

My Saturday.

11am-3pm - Took nephews to "Where the Wild Things Are." I loved it. Director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) was perhaps the only director that could pull that movie off.

3pm-10pm - Watched TCU game with Dalrymples, Chambers and Jess. Chambers talked to his parents and realtor the whole time. I think he bought a house

10pm-12pm - Stopped by our local gayborhood club and watched Piper play matchmaker for a gentleman named Arnesto.

12pm-12:30pm - While aimlessly searching for our car we were accosted by three Mexicans (1 guy, 2 girls). I kicked both the girls in the uteral area to keep them away from Piper. While holding the guy in a headlock, the fatter of the 2 gals gave me a pretty nice sucker punch to the eye.

It's been a long time since I have had a wild Saturday. I just wanted to share it with you guys. How was your weekend?

New Year's 2010

Option 1: New Orleans
Close, fun, reasonably warm, inexpensive, Bourbon Street and brown sugars (lubahn?). Could be awesome. Maybe there's a Lil Wayne concert or something on NYE and we can kick it with him and the Birdman until we find God.

Option 2: Big Ben National Park, Lake Canyon Park,...


Big Ben is real far away. Probably too far. Personally, I think mixing it up with a camping trip or somewhere we'd never expect to find ourselves would be a cool deal. I don't know too many National Parks in TX area, but if y'all does, I think it's worth considering. Any ideas?

Who's in for an IC NYE?
Anybody already have plans?

I'd like to do a good NYE again. It's been a couple years and it'd be nice to get the band back together again.

Wouldn't it be sweet to get 6...or 8...or...? Think if we had 8-10. I'd like to be a part of that evening.

Just listen to me......

Saturday night, I saw something that I have never seen before in my entire life of watching football. Tanner Brock, aka Badass Mother Fucker, lost his helmet during a TCU punt return. Instead of going finding his helmet or going half speed the rest of the play, Brock (who is a true freshman) continued at 100% and ended up air lifting an SMU defender (as you can see in the above picture) WITHOUT his helmet on! And he didn't just stick him with his shoulder pads either, this was head to helmet. Do not ignore this video, it is 20 seconds long, and I know some of you hate watching videos (Faust) but sometimes you should sit down and pay attention to videos that your friends put out there for you:

If you still decide not to watch this 20 clip of this hit that was #2 in the SportsCenter hightlights on Saturday (how it didnt make #1 is beyond me) then you are not only a terrible fan of your great Alma Mater, but you are a communist and I do not wish to speak to you ever again in my entire life. I will hate the living shit out of you forever. HATE, I said.

i know chambers is in.

The Fall Classic

They do thangs a lil different down here...

I think this maybe the most evil street in the world.

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that"

Could you imagine Bob Dylan giving you directions from Fort Worth to Minnesota? I smell an early Secret Santa gift....

Quote of the Week

This is George Carlin. I like this picture and prefer it to the common bald and zany Carlin images from his later years. I included 11 quotes because Carlin was big on the rule of 10 (which he talks about in his 10 commandments stand-up). He thought that the use of the number 10 satisfied people, such as Top 10 lists, 1-10 ranking scales, 10 fingers, 10 toes, etc.

For someone who wore black to work the day after he died (I really did), the 11 quotes are my shout-out to someone I respected for his willingness to comment, dissect and usually scathe, many of the "big issues" in American culture. He was rigid and too crass for many people's tastes, but, if some of the following quotes don't make you go "hmm, never of thought of it like that", then I apologize for wasting your time.

Hope you had merry weekends. I miss you and love you all. Also, I am home from Dec. 23 to Jan. 3. Can we please start talking New Years?? Please.

Carlinisms:

* The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”

* “No comment” is a comment.

* What was the best thing before sliced bread?

* If a man smiles all the time, he’s probably selling something that doesn’t work.

* Property is theft. Nobody “owns” anything. When you die, it all stays here.

* Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do “practice”?

* I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a man nailed to two pieces of wood.

* I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed.

* Cloud nine gets all the publicity, but cloud eight actually is cheaper, less crowded, and has a better view

* Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”

* Honesty may be the best policy, but it’s important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

Quote of the Week

Guppies,

Here is the quote of the week. Hopefully this becomes a weekly thang. Also, if you have any quotes to add, put 'em up there. I hope to include a variety, everyone from Michelangelo to Michael Jordan to Michael Moore to Michael Mazur ("Mom?").

Here is week 1. I thought, "this would be better if heard". Then, I found the website (at the bottom of the quote), which plays the quote in a pretty hysterical fashion. If you can find audio of Dylan saying this, it is worth 28 seconds of your oh so precious time.

"Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time, But all the people can't be all right all the time. I think Abraham Lincoln said that. I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours. I said that."

- Bob Dylan, "Talkin' World War III Blues"
