An Ike Fan Walks Into Wachovia

Note: For the anonymous fan of the chick from Friends who was married to Pitt, use your imagination for a photo of her that might violate Terms of Use at Photobucket. I'm guessing it won't be too hard. This is a family friendly blog after all...Although the picture above it is nice too.

This old timer rambled into the bar (Scams Friendly) the other day at right about halftime of the Indy/Jets game. He sits down to Brandon's left and notices that Peyton Manning is on the field leading Indy. He orders a draft beer. Then he drops this question in my and Brandon's direction, "Is that the kid who played at State?" Brandon and I looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed. I told the old timer, "Do you mean Phil Rivers or possibly Roman Gabriel?" The old timer said "What?" I said "Manning went to Tennessee." The old timer said "What?" I said to Brandon "I give up." Brandon said "Why is it that no matter which bar we watch football in, there's always an idiot nearby." I told Brandon "That's life. You can never get away from idiots." And that's true. You can never get away from idiots. In fact, the old timer could have easily played trivia with The Greek Gods - because that's the kind of moronic question those guys are always asking.

I got a comment after yesterday's post (anonymously) that simply said: Best Picture Ever. And it's a good picture of the chick from Friends who was married to Pitt, no doubt about that, but I would hardly call it the best picture I've ever used on this blog. Maybe this anonymous commenter is a fan of Friends or maybe the anonymous commenter just appreciated the see-through nature of the top that the chick from Friends who was married to Pitt was sporting. Either way, comments are always welcome. I hope whoever this anonymous commenter is likes today's (PG) picture. I'm guessing that will be the case.

I'm a little surprised at the guys in Vegas. They put the opening line on the Super Bowl at Indy -3. And that was quickly bet up to 5 (at least on The Greek website it was). Everyone should be aware that Indy is a public team and has been for a number of years. Vegas could have put that line at 5 to start (I told Brandon on Sunday that I'd open it at 4&1/2). Anyway, the public has not even begun to bet on the game yet. The mafia guys are the ones who pounded Indy at -3 and -3&1/2. I'm guessing by next Friday the line will be at 6. I'm starting to get a strong opinion on how this game will go myself. I really am. I'm not giving anything away today though.

I was at the bank yesterday and this crazy old bag was in line just in front of me. She resembled someone who is the subject of an episode of Hoarders. Anyway, it gets her turn to be summoned to see the teller (a process I've always compared to getting summoned to see the wizard in that movie that should have starred Buddy Ebsen or getting called into the Principal's office). When this crazy old bag gets up to the teller, she pulls a jar of coins out of her coat pocket. The jar appeared to be full of pennies. Then this Hoarders looking crazy old broad says this to the almighty teller, "Could I change these for Eisenhower Dollars?" And when I overheard this crazy lady's request, I spoke up from the line and asked, "Dare I query as to why you want Eisenhower Dollars?" This old crazy broad says, "Sonny, I used to fantasize about Ike rubbing his bald head with oil and cozying up to my coochie with it." I said "Oh. Okay. Thanks for the clarification."

I'm at the Generic bread again and a local sportscaster just walked in. His name is Rich Brenner. He used to be on Fox 8 (I have no idea if he still is). Anyway, Brenner used to do these commentaries where he'd feign outrage at something in the world of sports. It was pretty silly. His hair looks the same though, just like all local sporstcasters' hair - too much hairspray. Like Jimmy Johnson. Fake.

A very pointless entry today (even for this blog). I'll try and do better next time.
