A Day in the Life of The Applewhite Cultist

Let me say this simply:

It's funny because there IS a controversy! If there were no fuel, there'd be no fire.

I'm a "Why Simms?" guy but it is damn funny.
 
Nick:

This definitely isn't about the "Major v. Chris" stuff -- or even who should start -- but is poking fun at the Tiger Beat-magazine like obsession by some with Applewhite by some.

As an example, I put up a lampooning post (though far stupider than this) on the old 360 board IN 1998 (when we had only one healthy scholarship QB, so there was no controversy) re the strange form of player worship.

Applewhite actually isn't the first UT QB in recent history to have this odd band of obsessers fixate on him. Something similar -- though, probably, not quite as kooky -- happened with Peter Gardere after his freshman year defeat of a highly ranked OU team.
 
complete ********.

"Love Hurts" is a Gram Parsons song.

Also, like the subject of the post would have trouble with spelling charisma yet somehow, miraculously manage to get Charles de Gaulle completely correct.

Errors everywhere. Spenser would have posted better.
 
Rob,

My point is that there is/was an equally big Tiger Beat group of Simms fans last year and this.

I'd love to see Scipio lampoon those folks as well. It should be worth a couple of good laughs to hear about the "lists" they keep.
 
Thanks for your words LG. It doesn't seem like that much of an intellectual stretch to understand that Chris and Major are both great kids. They each have a role to play toward the goal of winning all of our games. Anybody with their priorities set on anything other than winning all of our games is just misguided imho.
 
Dex, I agree. Except the Tiger Beat Simms cultists are much higher paid -- by the national media who have slapped his cute mug on the cover of all the preseason mags. Those writers are just as obsessive and probably spend as much time in the bathroom.
 
I can't use my superpowers right now. Seems if you piss in your pants from laughing you get no sparks...
 
Oh, and I guess Hendrix didn't write "All Along the Watchtower" too? Seriously, I didn't know that. This is ironic because I was going to nominate the Nazereth song "Now Your Messing With A Son of a *****" as the song the Horns should hit the field with on said thread, but some lost memory in my brain says that its true title was "Hair of the Dog", so I nominated "Poems, Prayers, and Promises" instead. Please confirm HJ, cause I'm trying to find that on Gnotella.
 
Hey Scipio,

I have a post - that accidentally got moved to the the Classics Posts board - entitled "A Day in the Life of a Recruiting Junkie". Since I don't want to admit publicly that this one puts mine to shame......uh, do you mind if I do a little cutting and pasting of your stuff to my post?

Ah, never mind.

Now that I think about it, the Hornfans moderators could save some time and effort if they just let you post directly on the Classics Board......
 
That was pretty damn funny. I particulalry liked the riff about static sparks and superpowers, though it sounded almost autobiographical, i.e. no one is that creative, it must've been an actual thought from Scip's youth.
 
O Lord

Someone forward this to Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson to include in their script for the modern version of 'Slacker'
 
Nick is a lawyer. He gets a lot, supposedly. Bright guy. He's arguing for neither side, but for a principal. Ostensibly, at least. Imagine that, a lawyer with prinicipals.
 
once again Scips', you've outdone yourself.

Two hours and 27 minutes with the Helmann's?!! Sure beats Brad Hamilton's stint in Fast Times at Ridgemont HIgh!
 
Oh I get it and I think it's funny. Within the context of the thread, my comments probably make very little sense. Within the context of the day or the season, they make sense, to me at least. Especially since I traffic in adversity and conflict, I want some place where lots of people get along. I want this to be such a place. I feel that the whole issue has become a malignant growth and want it to go away. I hope I haven't been dreary.

Thanks ctj.
 
Thin Lizzy wrote "Whiskey in a Jar" and could kick Nazareth's *** in a fight.


Well, ok, some old Gaelic guy wrote it, but still.
