This comes from Meltdown Light, but I thought this one was pretty good:

combos
are the best thing in the world until you actually taste one, then you realize they actually really suck, but you just continue to inhale them as if they were the best thing in the world because even though they suck, you're still hungry and you bought into the hype and committed to the fuckibg monster sized bag and they're there and you have nothing else and you see other people with magical things like doritos and filet mignon and chipotle barbacoa burritos and you're pissed that what you have really sucks and why oh why can't you have nice things like other people do and finally you either finish the g-d bag or you throw it out the window on 94 and IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT COMBOS I'M TALKING ABOUT MICHIGAN FOOTBALL.

This weeks game poster, this week is kind of an inside joke for anyone whos ever drove from Columbus to Cincy.

So, Roger Goodell and the head of the NFLPA want to meet with Charlie Strong:

What do they want to do? Pick his brain?

Goodell "Hey Charlie, what do you do when someone does something wrong and/or illegal?"

Strong: "I immediately suspend or dismiss them with keen judgement"

Goodell "Oh, I see... Can you expand on this 'keen judgement' concept?"

 

[KingGondo]

The values are honesty, treat women with respect, no drugs, no stealing and no guns.

Besides honesty, they aren't really "values." They're just rules.

"So you're saying when you see a tape of someone assaulting their future wife in an elevator you don't bury the lead and lie about having seen it previously? Interesting tactic Mr. Strong. Unorthodox, but interesting"

Not going to lie, I'm really looking forward to the tOSU/Rutgers game just for the poster. I don't think we have a chance in the game itself, as tOSU's defensive line will force bad Nova to show up.

Thinking it's either going to be scarlet on scarlet, and he'll save the birthplace of college football poster for next year.

Theres 2 signs on i-71 on the way to cincy that says that and another thing about hell.

Why do I have the feeling this is a joke about the giant water jesus statue? Course, I don't know where Columbus is located in the state, assuming part of the way is on the highway between Dayton and Cincinnati.

There's a big ass billboard in the middle of Ohio that says "Hell is Real."

There's one in Indiana as well.

Columbus is the biggest city in the U.S. that nobody really knows or cares about. (even over San Jose & Jacksonville)

Pretty much a truth, and we like it that way! Stay out of our city!

That sign is off 71 somewhere between Columbus and Cincy. That is a God-forsaken, boring stretch of road, too. Flat and very boring farmland on both sides for that 1 1/2-2 hours.

Submit Saturdays picks tonight or tomorrow

 

[AntoneM]

I didn't bother looking until now since I figured there was no hope, but, moving on up. Good news on a game day must be a good omen.

11 [ &#9650;21 ] AntoneM < 30 | 37 > ( 12 / 9 )

Work on game day though, sucks.

 

[mre]

Pretty much a truth, and we like it that way! Stay out of our city!

"Stay out of Ohio," you demand.

"Gladly," the rest of the world replies.

That's right. Sick burn on your state, AND I say that as someone who lives in Alabama! The fact that I am also referencing the generally-held low opinion of my own state of domicile in issuing said sick burn on your state, means that not only is said burn made all the more "sick," but I have denied you the recourse to rebut my burn by attacking the state where I reside.

Checkmate, mothafucka.

I was pretty neutral on the whole Winston rape story, but given his conduct over the past year, I'm more inclined to think he did it. His behavior strikes me as someone who has always gotten away with whatever he wanted and never faced any real consequences. Well FSU isn't Hueytown, and I'll be surprised if anyone drafts him prior to the 5th round.

Hey Birmingham and Mobile are decent, I wouldn't mind living in either. But I live in NC so we're not talking a huge stretch in terms of culture shock here.

I am in shock and awe of your burn.

Truly sick. Perhaps the sickest burn of a human being I have ever seen. I will be telling my grandchildren where I was when mre burned bucknuticus.

You notice that buck hasn't posted since? I'm picturing him sitting at his desk at work, staring blankly at his computer. He's near comatose and immobile but for his jaw moving slowly up and down as if his broken husk of a body is trying to form words but has forgotten how.

If X is negative does that mean that you are picking Arizona State to win?

Don't fall for it Pete. It's a set up to get you back under the jurisdiction of the NCAA's very powerful enforcement committee.

He will have to skip meals for a day.

This punishment will be rescinded early enough for Pete to have brunch.

To be fair, find a good 3 or 4 years to be a Cal fan.

There was that Rose Bowl Aaron Rogers won.

and that time their band scored a touchdown.

Yeah, they're not going over too well on the Tech boards right now.

I really don't know what to expect from the game tonight. Nothing on the continuum from "close Tech win" to "OSU blowout win" will particularly surprise me. Forced to make a pick, I would choose OSU, though.
