Thinking Out Loud
In which Good Ol’ Schmoe showcases JoeMaj’s talents for channeling Joe Falls’ old Thinking Out Loud columns and then adds his two cents because this is his blog after all.
JoeMaj “thinking out loud”...
*Amercian Coney or Lafayette? Is there any doubt? Lafayette by a mile. GOS: Yet they both use Dearborn Sausage dogs now.
*When was the last time Michigan and Notre Dame were good in the same season? Survey says!!!!! 1994. GOS: Circle gets the square.
*Michigan and ND will wear “throwup” uniforms this Saturday…...hope they don’t smell as bad as they look. Ok, they are “throwback” uniforms and that’s what they should be…...“Thrown back” to the imaginary world in which they were created! THEY NEVER EXISTED! Sorry for yelling but this has to stop. Ugh. GOS: Alternate jerseys are always ugly. I don’t care. The fact they have to wear another uniform is what is truly at question here. WHY? STOOPID!
*Doug Fister is 6’8”. Can you name a Tiger pitcher that was taller? Me Neither.
*Why do they ask for tips at a Coffee shop? I asked for Coffee and you poured it. This is my tip…..Thank you.
*It rained hard Saturday and I got wet….....You too?
*Brady Hoke reminds me of Fred Flintstone….....Who can dislike Fred?
*I found Wilma rather fetching myself. I bet you preferred Betty. GOS: Of course, Betty has a great combo of sassiness and a nice bum.
*Jim Harbaugh is a college coach and in 4 years I’ll be proven right. Sorry Jim.
*I don’t think the Tigers will blow this lead…...but then again I didn’t think I’d eat the whole Pizza last night….....and I did. GOS: get some Alka Seltzer
*At the end of the movie Field Of Dreams, Ray asked his Dad, “Do you want to have a catch, Dad?” .......I cried. You too? GOS: {sob}, just like Brian’s Song…
*Speaking of movies…....Some of them are really bad.
*I like Popcorn at the movies but not at home…....what gives?
*The NBA may not play this season…...........Meh. GOS: I don’t care even when they DO play.
*Paul Newman was a handsome man….....There I said it. GOS: “I can eat fifty eggs.”
*Indian food should be known as “the finger food that keeps on giving all week long”. I just don’t get it. GOS: I have tried, but I cannot at all understand who likes that food for real, it’s a weird fad to me.
* Is Nicklas Lidstrom as good as Bobby Orr? I think that’s like asking if Shakespeare was as good as Michelangelo . Apples and Oranges.
*But if you asked me for one season it’s Orr but for the career I’d go with Nick Lidstrom.
*Why do people call him Nick “LiNstrom”. That’s like calling Gordie Howe, Gordie Hoo….....for that you’d get a B.C. two hander across the knees and deserve it.
*Final score….Michigan 31-ND 27.
*Ever been to South Bend? I have….........................Meh. GOS: Disagree, it is nice, at least on the ND campus. But that means, well, nothing, who really cares.
*Michigan and ND are 13-13-1 since the series was rekindled back in 1978. Michigan has never beaten ND 3 straight during that span…......That will change Saturday. GOS: I still think we should never play them at all.
*Brian Kelly likes to yell….......a lot.
*I wonder how Pebbles and Bam Bam are doing? GOS: I wonder how Betty is doing…
