Thread of the Random

[ACamp1900]

This is about as pointless and random as it gets, but here we go...

Ran into an S-E-C grad yesterday. I won't disclose which school he went to, but I'll just say it wasn't exactly Vandy. We were talking about different schools and education as it relates to football. He stopped me to say "Not to knock your education, but it's 'a' ND degree, not 'an.'"
Well, I didn't actually go to ND, but I didn't need to go to know it's most certainly 'an' ND degree

“A” or “An” before Acronyms and Abbreviations?

Use “a” or “an” before an abbreviation depending on how it is pronounced not written. If it starts with a consonant sound, use “a”; if it starts with a vowel sound, use “an.”

I also had a discussion with a K State fan. Dude was watching the Manti doc and made a comment "Yeah, we would have waxed the Irish if we got them in the National Championship game!" Bro, you got prison sexed by Baylor! That's why you weren't in the National Championship game and we got an angry Bama instead. Hell, we had a better win against Oklahoma too and we had to play them in Norman, not at home. We would have ended our national championship drought had we gotten K State or even Oregon that year.

Today, I heard for like the 55,000th time that West Virginia would have destroyed ND in the Fiesta Bowl had Harris not gotten hurt,………

Cack's post about pig calling reminded me of something funny. Back in the '80's the classic rock station in Tuscaloosa had a hog calling contest. It was supposed to be a month-long contest. Several times per day people would call in giving their best hog calls and it was about like the video above and usually goofy and funny. One day I was driving and listening to the radio when a guy called in and said, "I've got your winner right here. Might as well declare the contest over." You could almost hear the DJ rolling his eyes, but told the guy to go ahead and we got, "Weeeeeeeeeeee! Sows in heat! They're squealin' for it. They're wantin' it! They're shakin' and tremblin' boys! Sows a-sweatin'! Sows a-sweatin'! They want it! They gotta have it! Weeeeeeeeeee! Pigs in heat! Grunt, grunt, grunt. Come and get 'em boys! Sows a-sweatin'!"

I about ran off the road laughing. The DJ couldn't breathe. When he finally got himself together, he said, "We have our winner. Contest is over." At one point 15 or 20 years ago there was a recording of this call floating around the net, but I can't find it any longer. My siblings and I would listen to it occasionally and laugh until we cried.

I don't know if it was the heels or she had a little too much to drink, but the reaction of the guy at the grill is priceless. "Yeah you seem okay, I'll take care of these t-bones."

I saw a video today where a guy said his wife had texted him, "Your the best thing to ever happen in my life." He replied, "No, YOU'RE the best thing to ever happen in my life." He said she'd been all happy and pleased with that the rest of the day and in a great mood, so he didn't have the heart to tell her that he'd just been correcting her grammar.

Fossil fuel protesters charged after tomato soup thrown on Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers' in London gallery

Two anti-fossil fuel protesters who were filmed throwing tomato soup on Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" in a London gallery Friday have been charged with criminal damage offenses.

Looking at the awkward way they are kneeling with their arms stretched at a weird angle behind them, I would’ve let them sit there for a while until they begged to have their hands ripped off the wall. That posture would be uncomfortable in a manner of minutes.

Idiots. You're right. They should have kept them there for a while so it really became uncomfortable when they needed the restroom. I'll bet none of these loonies only walk or bike to get around.

Rough moment in Dallas at an airshow today. A WWII era P-63 fighter flew directly into a B-17, striking it just behind the wings and slicing it in half. Both planes immediately disintegrated and the wreckage fell to the ground with all onboard the two planes killed. Thankfully the wreckage fell into what appears to have been an empty field. I've seen video from a few different angles, and it appears that the B-17 was flying in a straight line and the P-63, flying about 100mph faster, was making a diving turn and just never saw the B-17.

a Catholic school in North Dakota has built what looks like a 1:1 scale of the golden dome. The chapel is named Our Lady of Victory so I think there might be a superfan in the area.

The handicap stall joke got me.
Reminds me of a comic I saw many years ago. The guy had Cerebral Palsy and did a lot of jokes about it. At first people were like "Can we laugh about this?" but the more he leaned into it the more laughs he got. After a bit the guy started getting into political jokes. It was in Dayton, but it was a more conservative part of Dayton so his jokes poking fun of conservatives weren't landing quite as well. The guy could feel it though, so he said "Hey, how about we go back to making fun of my CP?" Dude was really funny and had great timing, he actually stayed away from his disability and politics for the rest of the set and killed.

So, I really liked Rounders, but the thing that always took me out of the movie was that Matt’s friend was named, knish. Isn’t that some kind of Jewish pasty? So his friend was named “Jewish pastry”? I hate that.
