In This Thread, We Admire How Great In This Thread Really Is
 

Totally unrelated, I know, but YEAH for using Guster lyrics in your quote!! :-)

Allison

you'll be selling books at the airport!

(fyi: my reply is the next line of the guster song in moe.ron's signature)

"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from

Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year.

Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!

Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch,
Couldn't agree when we were both free,
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me,
Sunburn in the third degree.

Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself,
Same guy called, halloween party,
Waited all night for him to show,
This time his car wouldn't go,

Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time.

A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending!

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year

I am in awe of in this thread.

Yeah for Lil Hannah posting the lyrics to my favorite Christmas song!!! :D

Allison

I would have been in awe of this thread, but the grammar used in the title is terrible. http://flamevault.com/~etaipo/FlameV...ies/bandit.gif

Nice

In this reply, moe.ron fart in Russell's general direction.

Its not "fart." Its "farts." Thank you for proving my point. Of greater concern however, is the fact that you quoted French a-holes from a great Monty Python movie. Are you admitting to an affinity with the French? Inquiring minds want to know.

Haji was a punk just like any other boy
And he never had no trouble until he started up his Oi band,
safe in the garage or singing in the tub.
Till Haji went to far and he plugged in at the pub

Twas a cold Christmas eve when Trevor and the skins
popped in for a pint and to nick a back of crisps
Trevor liked the music but not the Unity
So he unwound Haji's turban and knocked him to his knees

If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what he'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins-
but Oi to the world and everybody wins!"

Haji was a bloody mess, he ran out thru the crowd
he said "we'll meet again we are bloody but not unbowed"
Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet
Christmas day on the roof down 20 Oxford street

If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what he'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins-
but Oi to the world and everybody wins!"

On the roof with the nun chucks Trevor broke a lot of bones
But Haji had a sword like that guy in Indiana Jones

Police sirens wailing, a bloody dying man,
Haji was alone and abandoned his band
Trevor was there fading and still so full of hate
when the skins left him there and went down the fire escape

But then Haji saw the north star shining more then ever
So he made a tourniquet from his turban saving Trevor
the repelled down the roof with the rest of the turban
and went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon

If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what he'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins-
but Oi to the world and everybody wins!"

lol. :p

Any thread with Trogdor the Burninator in it has to be great.

Almighty thread, I bow to you.

We are not Worthy

Circles, she's spinning me around in circles, again
Oh that skinny blonde girl
Something about the ages

I failed college algebra again
That skinny blonde girl
And the cirlces and the ages and the ages

BEAUTIFUL!

Lil' Hannah is by far my favorite person on GC... everytime i see one of your posts in threads like this they make me laugh so hard!!

ETA: the "oh snap" picture is, however, the best thing i've seen all week :D

This is a few years old so some of the references are a bit dated.

A Day in the Life of Dick Vitale

5:30 am: Alarm clock goes off with the sounds of Duke's fight song. Vitale wakes up happy, ready to face another day.

5:35 am: Vitale enters the shower and uses Blue Devil Blue bar of soap while going over his to-do list mentally. Suddenly, his wife hears him blurt out, "It's a travesty that no one has hired Wojo yet! He's gonna be awesome babeee!!!" She wonders why she ever said "I do" 80 years ago.

6:00 am: Turns on ESPN to find SportsCenter replaying for the two hundredth time of the morning. When Duke's game isn't the first highlight shown, Vitale throws his bowl of Coach K Krunch at the screen. He sees the teams and yells something about "That damn West Coast bias"...Iowa vs. Missouri is the highlight being shown.

6:03 am: Vitale calls ESPN's employee direct line to complain about the lack of respect Duke is being shown during the broadcast. The producer tells him that because Duke beat Portland (not the Trail Blazers, mind you, but Portland U.) by 74, no one in the production meeting wanted that game to lead in with. Vitale threatens a boycott of Stuart Scott, the current anchor on air, and UNC alum. The producer laughs.

6:45 am: Vitale is on the phone to Coach K's secretary...at home. "Mr. Vitale," She says. "I don't go to work until 8 o'clock, please wait until I'm in the office. Coach K won't be in until 10 either. Stop calling me!"
Vitale responds that he must have an exclusive interview with The Almighty, er, Coach K as soon as possible! He needs his opinion on what to wear to that night's game.

8:30 am: Vitale plays tennis with Grant Hill's dad and loses six-love, six-love. Afterwards, Vitale grabs the sweat-soaked towel Hill used and runs off with it. Later, his wife finds it in the closet next to the ones from Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Elton Brand and Corey Maggette's AAU coach. She calls her divorce lawyer...again.

10:15 am: Dick is doing an interview with ESPNNews' Michael Kim about the young college basketball season. Kim asks him about the surprising Arizona Wildcats and their two top-five wins from last week.
"That's right, Michael, you heard it here first, Duke's Jason Williams is the best point guard in the history of basketball. Not just college basketball, but all of basketball at every level!!!"
Kim sighs and asks Vitale who his early favorite to win the Big XII is.
"Personally Michael, I think it's an M&Mer, a mismatch babee, it's no contest. Duke could beat the Bulls right now. I know some of you out there in America are going to laugh at me, but I really think the two best teams in the NBA are the Lakers and Duke."
ESPNNews immediately cuts to commercial.

1:30 pm: Vitale has lunch with new-signed Duke recruit Sean Dockery. Dockery thanks Vitale for helping him pass his ACT and asks him what he thought of "his boy Will Bynum" the other night in New York City.
"Never heard of him." Vitale says.

3:45 pm: Vitale is on the phone with Coach K asking if he can give the team a pre-game pep talk.
"But Dick, we're just playing Davidson, the kids will be fine."
Vitale then literally begs Krzyzewski to let him sit on the bench next to Shane Battier.
"He's in the NBA, Dick. Plays down in Memphis now, doing quite well as a matter of fact, had 30 last night."
"Oh," Vitale says. "Do you have his number?"

4:57 pm: Minutes before he is to be on the air along with College Basketball 2Night's analyst, Jay Bilas, Vitale is despondent.
"What's the matter Dickie V?" Bilas asks.
"The Network just called. They're sending me out west again. I have to cover the LSU-Tennessee game in Baton Rouge next week."
"Dick, that's not even close to the west. It's right off the mighty Mississip-"
"I know...I hate the Pacific Ocean."

6:10 pm: Tip-off of the game Vitale is covering: UConn vs. Fairfield (Why this game is on ESPN nation-wide is unknown to 99.3% of the country). The Huskies win the tap.
Vitale: "Duke should cut the nets down once again this March in the Georgia Dome, it's gonna be repeat city, babee!"
By mentioning Duke in a non-Duke game in the first 0.3 seconds, Vitale bests his own World Record by nearly a full second! His broadcast partner, Brad Nessler, congratulates him.

8:15 pm: UConn wins 102-60 behind sophomore phenom Caron Butler's quadruple-double. He scores 55, grabs 17 boards, dishes out 11 assists and records 11 steals as well. Many around the nation are calling it one of the best all-around single game performances they've ever seen. Nessler asks Vitale his opinion on Butler's game.
"When you break it down, it becomes clear that Jason Williams and Chris Duhon of Duke are far and away the greatest backcourt in history, babee! This Butler kid is nothing compared to the Super Soph Duhon! I saw a game last year where Duhon scored 14 points! He was flat out awesome babee!"

8:22 pm: Vitale is forced to go on-court to interview Butler. The Q&A goes like this:
Vitale: I'm here with Caron Butler, who shocked the nation by not signing with Duke outta high school. Caron, what is your take on Shane Battier?
Butler (stunned): "Uh, he was a great player last year. I have a lot of respect for his game."
Vitale: "Me too. Brad, back to you."

9:57 pm: Vitale watches the last minutes of Duke's 129-52 victory over a helpless Davidson club at the ESPNZone in Manhattan.
Someone in the restaurant tells Vitale to shut up after he screams when Duke backup guard Andre Buckner scores on a layup.
"You're the most biased person alive, Dukie V!" The man yells. "You are the reason everyone outside of Durham HATES Duke, because you never shut up about them!"
Vitale leaves the restaurant, but not before taunting the crowd with chants of "Who's your daddy, Battier!" a la the Cameron Crazies.
No one gets it.

11:00 pm: Vitale is back home, watching SportsCenter. When Duke is not the first highlight shown, he once again calls the studio in Bristol, CT.
"Dick," The producer says. "Duke won by 77, no one cares! Caron Butler had one of the best games ever, Michael Jordan broke his legs, Barry Bonds AND Jason Giambi signed with the Yankees and Arizona beat another top-five team. Those are our lead stories!"
Vitale responds angrily. "Nobody cares about those things! Michael Dunleavy and Carlos Boozer both dunked tonight...with authority babee! I heard Coach K even played Casey Sanders and Nick Horvath together tonight! These are important things the country must know about! And how about the suit little Wojo was wearing? If he's not head coach material I don't know who is! And speaking of suits, get that Stuart Scott off the air, he's a Tar Heel babee! We hate those Chapel Hill guys. ...Hello?"
All he hears is: "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up or try the number again."

11:59 pm: Duke is the last highlight shown, and now Vitale can go to bed. He brushes his teeth with the 1992 Final Four toothbrush Thomas Hill used, flosses with the same strand Trajan Langdon used before the losing the '99 championship game and prays to his shrine of Battier.
All he asks for is that Duke gets respect around the country and that no one, especially ESPN, sends him out to the West Coast to do a game. Because he hates going to Nebraska.
He gets into bed and thinks about the next day. Someone named UCLA is playing against someone named Stanford.
"Hmm," he thinks. "Never heard of 'em."

I'm outside of Durham and i love the Dukies!!

LMAO at these pictures - I'm sitting in the University computer lab trying my hardest not to bust up laughing (and looking like a dumbass).

LOL!

AGREE!

Also...

You ever heard those right-wing crazy people talk about how there's a Jewish conspiracy and how the Jews run the media and they have all the money and they pretty much dominate the world?

No?

Well I've heard of it and that would pretty much leave one day of the year when no one else is around to have a whole year of planning of world domination.

That's Christmas. Merry Christmas buddies.

It's Christmas Eve and you know I am hardly sleeping,
There are no presents waiting for me on the floor.
It's the one day of the year when I use what my super Jewish powers are for!

HEY!

Got introduced to the network at my bar mitzah,
Got my code name and number it's one six seven six one.
While you're sitting around that tree and that knock-off menorah,
You're idle, we work,
Justice is done.

Princess Di, we killed her!
El nino, we made it!
Reggie White is stupid!
Billy Joel, let's trade him.

Princess Di, we killed her!
El nino, we made it!
Reggie White is stupid!
Billy Joel, let's trade him.

If the neo-nazis know we're part of the conspiracy,
And if it's as strong as they think, you think they'd be nicer to me.
Still mad about what happened to your pal Jesus?
Well, if he didn't die for your sins,
You'd be going to hell with the rest of us.

Princess Di, we killed her!
El nino, we made it!
Reggie White is stupid!
Billy Joel, let's trade him.

Princess Di, we killed her!
El nino, we made it!
Reggie White is stupid!
Billy Joel, let's trade him.

Wouldn't you like to know what we do on Christmas?
You think we're sitting around polishing our horns?
Making soup with the blood of the Christian born?
You think I'm being rude?
We go to the movies and eat Chinese food.

This is the disclaimer: My name is Adam. I am a Jewish boy. I am very neurotic that people are gonna getmad at me. I like Jews, I like Christian people, there should be no problem, it's not that funny.

Ya mom is so fat (how fat is she?)
Ya mama is so big and fat that she can get busy
with twenty-two burritos, but times are rough
I seen her in the back of Taco Bell with handcuffs
The sad fact (what?) ya mama smokes crack (what?)
She got a burning yearning and there's no turning back
Her knuckles drag down to the ground when she walk
Spit comes out that bitch mouth when she talk

Naked on a mountain top, tootin on a flizoot
Ridin on a horse drinking whisky out a bizoot
She's got the wings and teeth of an african bat
Her middle name is Mudbone and on top of all that:

Ya mama got a glass eye with the fish in it
Ya mama, ya mama, ya mama

And she was the kind of girl who you would give up eating meat for
No more salami
No more steak or potatoes
Yeah you would walk on down to the health food store
And buy hummus and tabouli and babaganoush and ricecakes ricecakes ricecakes

Nose ring girl I love you
Nose ring girl I want you I want you I want you

drink (2)

#9 I Gotta Believe (or I truly/really believe)
Most commonly heard as “I really believe Jason Williams is one of the top point guards in the nation, college or pro,” or “I gotta believe that North Carolina is going to be back.” Drink (1)

#10 Personal Agenda
Every time Dick starts harping on his personal agenda, such as eliminating the alternate possession or changing rules so that graduation rates are not impacted by transfers, the last person to yell “shut up Dick!” must drink (5)

#11 Michelangelo
When Dick whips out a dead horse from the past, such Dean Smith “the Michelangelo of coaches,” or “Shane Battier for President,” all drink (3), and the oldest participant hands out a shot.

In this post we do not let this thread die
