30 Gotta go check my clock radio and see if any of these are on. The only games I care about are the big Spartan football games, but I keep the AM radio on quiet so I have some background noise to sleep to. Talk shows are fine, but whenever there's a game it's "flurble.. flurble... FLURBLEBLAWRL! FLURBLEBLAWRL!!!!!" a few times an hour. Tigers coverage can particularly climb a wall of dicks in hell for this.

--I'm torn. Mandel at FOX Sports made a good argument regarding Penn State: If they get into the playoff over, say, Washington, then the gist of it is that Semptember football doesn't really matter. If Wisconsin wins the Big "10" that's complicated, because their losses were to Michigan and OSU.

Bee-hives. Never saw em personally, before my time (by about 20 years.

You want to hear a depressing thought? During the Back to the Future anniversary my best friend and I was talking about it and I pointed out that we are now as distant from the 80's as we were when Back to the Future was to the 50's when it came out. For kids and teenagers these days, the 80's is their 50's.

It is depressing but also kind of, I dunno hopeful. I have always had a very rosy view of the 50's. Cheerful, optimistic. I am sure it was not quite as nice for people who lived then, but to me it is kind of the last decade when sanity reigned. Given the track record for the past few decades, seeing the 80's that way is not a bad choice.

President Reagan, commies, hope.

It kind of gives you a sense about the circularity of history and about how every now and then, people get it generally right.

Our secondary is pretty average. The O-line is not dominating. In the backfield, we don't have a Derrick Henry, but we do have 5 guys who would be the #1 back on most Div 1 teams.

Oh, and we have a freshman QB.

Alabama could win out, but I think they should be underdogs among the top 4.

203 First there was Brexit. Could there be Ausexit and Italexit?

No, and here's why: Austria might have but they are basically controlled by Germany who runs the EU, them and France. Italy is one of the net drains on the EU, they survive by sapping off of France and Germany. They don't have a powerful economy and workforce like England does, they can't make it alone any more.

Neither one leaves.

My mom's side of the family was almost pure italian. My grandfather never got angry ever that I saw, but he wasthe exception. The stereotype was true.

I still remember, we had gone to visit my great aunt in NYC and we were sitting in her kitchen and she referred to her husband as Italian (he had gotten heated over discussing something) and he yelled out "I'm Sicilian!!!!" -with the hand gestures.

I was maybe 6-7 but I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Heh.
This reminds me of two things.

One is the Christmas sermonette ---(unreported by the MSM, of course) ---by Rev. Jeremiah Wright on how the Palestinian baby Jesus was persecuted by the Jews and "garlic noses." I had heard of "garlic eaters" before but not "garlic noses," which strikes me as an amusing, if weird, variation.

The other is that, while "garlic eater" might be considered a slur in the US, in some places it is a label of some vague kind of superiority.

Those who live in countries around the Caribbean are divided into "los de ajo" (garlic people) and "los de aji" (hot pepper people.)
The hot pepper peeps, mostly Meso-Americans between the US and Costa Rica, are regarded as somehow inferior to the more "Mediterranean" (garlicky!) people of Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, etc.

So, if you want to be snotty, especially toward chicanos, you would call yourself a garlic eater!

As for trying to figure out lyrics, it took me months of watching "Tiny Toon Adventures" to get all those words right. (I was in my 20s; I love animation.) No Internet for me then; maybe not for anybody -- I don't recall when that became a Thing. Now I research lyrics regularly.
