ROLL, TIDE, ROLL!





One of the perks of being the first sophomore ever to win the Heisman Trophy is that you get to be photographed with large breasted women...


It is 8:06 a.m. and Patrick is under Junior's chair, who is behind me on his computer. It is 31.1 degrees out. light dusting of powder on the ground and six to nine inches of white stuff predicted.

Alabama opened up a can of whup-ass on Colorado last night n the first half of the Independence Bowl, then went to sleep in the second half and almost pulled a Gators vs. LSU--but hung on to win.

SEC (withe the most teams in Bowls) is 2-0.

Went to an open house yesterday for a soon-to-be departing National Guardsman. Ate creme puffs and drank seven up. Watched two football games played between crappy teams with no offense or defense. Quite thrilling to see if anybody could ever score any points. There are far too many bowl games...

Texas Really Mopped the stadium up with Arizona State last night-- Great Game for Colt McCoy--Long Horns hooked em with over 50 points!!!

Went caching with Buddaman in Logansport yesterday. Ate lunch at White House Hamburgers No. 1, an authentic diner with juke box selectors at the table and coffee cups with thick thick walls, you know the drill--Great Place and greasy and cheap, just like we like it. Only seating for about 25, and 8 parking spaces...

An Air Force chief master sergeant and a general were sitting in the barbershop. They were both just getting finished with their shaves, when the barbers reached for some after-shave to slap on their faces.
The general shouted, 'Hey, don't put that stuff on me! My wife will think I've been in a whorehouse!' The sergeant turned to his barber and said, 'Go ahead and put it on me. My wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.'

'Well,' snarled the tough old Navy chief to the bewildered seaman, 'I suppose after you get discharged from the Navy, you'll just be waiting for me to die so you can come and pee on my grave.' 'Not me, Chief!' the seaman replied. 'Once I get out of the Navy, I'm never going to stand in line again!'

The elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he fumbled for his passport.
'You 'have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically. The old gent admitted that he had been to France previously. 'Zen, you should know enough to 'have your passport ready for inspection.' The American said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.' 'Impossible. You Americans always 'have to show your passports on arrival in France !' The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained,

'Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach in '44 I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to.

100 Moments in Gators History


98. Lowe's shining moment

February 16, 2006

Senior guard Sarah Lowe stepped to the line with her shot at history.

The clock had 3 seconds left on it, and UF and LSU had already needed more than the 40 regulation minutes to decide a winner. The Gators trailed 78-77, and Lowe had just being fouled by Augustus. Two shots to earn probably the biggest win in program history? No problem.

On Senior Day, the Gators shocked the women's college basketball world by upending No. 2 LSU and National Player of the Year Seimone Augustus 79-78.

After the game Lowe sat silently in the postgame press conference blowing bluish-green bubbles.

“There was no doubt in my mind I was going to [make] it,” said Lowe, who had 17 points.” I just walked up there like it was just shooting a free throw in practice. I had to put myself in a different place and just not even worry about the score.”

Then, 10 days later, in what's the greatest regular season week in UF women's basketball history, the Gators shocked the world again at Tennessee 95-93 – in overtime yet again.

However, those close games didn't translate into the postseason as the fifth-seeded Gators were thrashed 83-59 by New Mexico in the first round.

FROM THE PATRIOT POST (EXCERPT):


...Of consequence is that George Washington was both a soldier and a farmer who, when he took the oath of the Presidency, rejected any royal tint or trappings for his office. He exhibited great humility during the American Revolution. Although some historians are not persuaded that the Continental Army's general was observed praying in snowy fields outside Fort Necessity, Rev. Nathaniel Randolph Snowden, writing shortly after the Revolutionary War, affirmed that he personally interviewed Isaac Potts of Valley Forge about his knowledge of General Washington's religious faith during the winter encampment there.

Rev. Snowden, who also met with Washington in person, quotes Potts: "I never believed that America [could] proceed against Great Britain whose fleets and armies covered the land and ocean, but something very extraordinary converted me to the Good Faith! ... Do you see that woods, and that plain. ... There laid the army of Washington. It was a most distressing time of ye war, and all were for giving up the Ship but that great and good man. In that woods pointing to a close in view, I heard a plaintive sound as, of a man at prayer. I tied my horse to a sapling and went quietly into the woods and to my astonishment I saw the great George Washington on his knees alone, with his sword on one side and his cocked hat on the other. He was at Prayer to the God of the Armies, beseeching to interpose with his Divine aid, as it was ye Crisis, and the cause of the country, of humanity and of the world. Such a prayer I never heard from the lips of man. I left him alone praying. I went home and told my wife. I saw a sight and heard today what I never saw or heard before, and just related to her what I had seen and heard and observed. We never thought a man [could] be a soldier and a Christian, but if there is one in the world, it is Washington. She also was astonished. We thought it was the cause of God, and America could prevail."

Washington had known glory and difficulty during late Decembers, leading the Continental Army in the Christmas Campaign successes of 1776 at Trenton and Princeton, then a year later taking his troops in retreat toward Valley Forge while leaving bloody footprints in the snow.

With our nation at war again this Christmas, we pray for victory, we pray for our Patriot Warriors, and we pray for their families. We pray especially for the families of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen -- for those who gave their lives so that we might once again celebrate Christmas as a free people.

May God's peace and blessings be upon you and all those you hold dear.

Merry Christmas!

HE'S NUMBAH WAN!

Florida QB Tim Tebow wins AP player of the year



GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Tim Tebow's unprecedented season keeps getting better.

The Florida quarterback won AP Player of the Year honors Tuesday in a vote that was similar to the one that made him the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy.

Tebow received 31 of a possible 58 votes from AP poll voters. Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, the Heisman runner-up, received 19 votes, and Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan was third with four votes.

Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon received three votes and West Virginia quarterback Pat White received one vote.

Tebow became the first player in major college history to run for at least 20 touchdowns and throw 20 TD passes in the same season. He accounted for 51 touchdowns, including a Southeastern Conference record 22 rushing, and set a school record with 3,970 yards of total offense.


After helping the Gators win the national title as a part-time playing freshman last year, Tebow proved he could do it all in his first season as a starter.

He was the second-rated passer in the nation and completed 68% of his throws after being used almost exclusively as a short-yardage runner last year.

It is 6:27 a.m. and Patrick is ensconced on his afghan and Junior is behind me on his computer. It is 19. 4 degrees outside.



We are shocked and dismayed but not surprised at the Survivor Lunch Lady's perfidy. She claimed on the finale that upon arriving home after the show, she was demoted from her seven-buck-an-hour cafeteria worker job to janitor, scrubbing toilets. Producer Mark Burnett awarded her 50 grand on the spot for her trouble. Then the school, reeling from an avalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanch (I didn't do that, nor will I correct what is an obvious Dell defect) of hate mail, revealed the truth. The Lunch Lady had been PROMOTED to Custodian, BEFORE she left for Survivor, at a TEN-DOLLAR-AN-HOUR RAISE!!


So she's a damned liar, trying to get sympathy for God-knows-what, and now she's outed as an asshole forever. She went on a morning show and apologized and then had the audacity to claim she had NOT INTENDED TO MISLEAD. What a pathetic tool.



So now she's been forced (not her idea) to give all the dough to a favored Hollywood Charity...

FROM THE PATRIOT POST:




RE: THE LEFT

“Democrats who supported a House resolution to honor Ramadan voted against a similar resolution to honor Christmas and Christianity... 18 Democrats voted ‘nay’ or ‘present’ on a resolution to ‘recognize the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith.’ An eagle-eyed Republican House staffer points out that those same members, with one exception, voted to ‘recognize the commencement of Ramadan,’ a Muslim religious observance in October. Nine Democrats voted against the Christmas resolution. They are: Rep. Gary Ackerman (N.Y.), Rep. Yvette Clarke (N.Y.), Rep. Diane DeGette (Colo.), Rep. Alcee Hastings (Fla.), Rep. Barbara Lee (Calif.), Rep. Jim McDermott (Wash.), Rep. Robert Scott (Va.), Rep. Pete Stark (Calif.) and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (Calif.). Another nine Democrats chose to vote ‘present.’ They are: Rep. Hon Conyers (Mich.), Rep. Barney Frank (Mass.), Rep. Rush Holt (N.Y.), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (Ill.), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), Rep. Peter Welch (Vt.) and Rep. John Yarmuth (Ky.) Each of them supported the Ramadan resolution except for Rep. Lee, who did not vote.” —Amanda Carpenter

99. Football debut

October 27, 1906

The Gators' 6-0 win over Rollins is considered the first official game in school history.

Now, more than 100 years later it's safe to say starting a football program was a good idea. James Forsythe only coached the Gators for two more seasons, but UF never played more than eight games. Forsythe went 14-6-2 in his three seasons.

This is too true to be very funny

The next time you hear a politician use the
word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of its releases.


A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and
20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. .

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does it mean?

A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of
New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you
each get $516,528.

B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family
gets $2,066,012.

Washington , D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??

Consider all the many taxes we are liable for through a life-time....
Building Permit Tax
CDL License Tax
Cigarette Tax
Corporate Income Tax
Dog License Tax
Federal Income Tax
Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA)
Fishing License Tax
Food License Tax
Gasoline Tax
Hunting License Tax
Inheritance Tax
Inventory Tax
IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax),
IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax),
Liquor Tax,
Luxury Tax,
Marriage License Tax,
Medicare Tax,
Property Tax,
Real Estate Tax,
Service charge taxes,
Social Security Tax,
Road Usage Tax (Truckers),
Sales Taxes,
Recreational Vehicle Tax,
School Tax,
State Income Tax,

Telephone Federal Excise Tax,
Telephone Federal Universal Service Fe e Tax,
Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Tax,
Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax,
Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax,
Telephone State and Local Tax,
Telephone Usage Charge Tax,
Utility Tax,
Vehicle License Registration Tax,
Vehicle Sales Tax,
Watercraft Registration Tax,
Well Permit Tax,
Workers Compensation Tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'

And I still have to 'press

I hope this goes around THE

NUMBER 100


100 Moments in Gators History

100. UF dubbed “The Alligators”

October 25, 1911

UF students weren't fortunate enough to have access to a daily newspaper in 1911, but instead the student body settled for the monthly Florida Pennant, the Alligator's predecessor. The December 1911 issue recaps each football game from the 1911 season, including the infamous 6-5 win against Clemson.

From the Pennant: "It was on the South Carolina trip that the Florida team was dubbed the 'Alligators,' and the battle that took place in South Carolina on this Wednesday afternoon between the Clemson Tigers and Florida Alligators is one long to be remembered!"


The Alligators finished the season 6-0-1, led by quarterback Earle "Dummy" Taylor, an early advocate of the new "forward pass."

The Pennant story doesn't explain why UF was named the Alligators, but UF historian Carl Van Ness wrote a compelling article about the naming.

Van Ness says in all likelihood, UF was named the Alligators after a club started by center Neal Storter. Storter, who came from a remote location in the Everglades, was nicknamed Bo Gator by the Pennant and soon the popular Bo Gator Club came into existence.

The 1910 UF yearbook made numerous references to the Gators, and it was only natural for the football team to adapt the nickname.

Adventure with Grandma

I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma. I was just a kid. I remember tearing across town on my bike to visit her on =he day my big sister dropped the bomb: "There is no Santa Claus," she jeered. =Even dummies
know that!"

My Grandma was not the gushy kind, never had been. I fled to her that day because I knew she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told the truth, and I knew that the truth always went down a whole lot easier when swallowed with one of her world-famous cinnamon buns. I knew they were world-famous, because Grandma said so. It had to be true.

Grandma was home, and the buns were still warm. Between bites, I told her everything. She was ready for me. "No Santa Claus!" she snorted. "Ridiculous! Don't believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad. Now, put on your coat, and let's go."

"Go? Go where, Grandma?" I asked. I hadn't even finished my second world-famous, cinnamon bun. "Where" =urned out to be Kerby's General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. That was a bundle in those days. "Take this money," she said, "and buy something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for you in the car." Then she turned and walked out of Kerby's.

I was only eight years old. I'd often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people scrambling to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, clutching that ten- dollar bill, wondering what to buy, and who on earth to buy it =for.

I thought of everybody I knew: my family, my friends, my neighbors, the kids at school, the people who went to my church. I was just about thought out, when I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker. He was a kid with bad breath and messy hair, and he sat right behind me in Mrs.Pollock's grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess during
the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but all us kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough, and he didn't have a coat. I fingered the ten-dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobby Decker coat! I settled on a red corduroy one that had a hood to it. It looked real warm, and he would like that.

"Is this a Christmas present for someone?" the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down.

"Yes," I replied shyly. "It's .... for Bobby." The nice lady smiled at me. I didn't get any change, but she put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons (a little tag fell out of the coat, and grandma tucked it in her Bible) and wrote, "To Bobby, From Santa Claus" on it -- Grandma said that Santa always insisted on secrecy. Then she drove me over to Bobby Decker's house, explaining as we went that I was now and forever officially one of Santa's helpers.

Grandma parked down the street from Bobby's house, and she and I crept noiselessly and hid in the bushes by his front walk. When Grandma gave me a nudge.

"All right, Santa Claus," she whispered, get going." I took a deep breath, dashed for his front door, threw the =resent down on his step, pounded his doorbell and flew back to the safety of the Bushes and Grandma. Together we waited breathlessly in the darkness for the front Door to open. Finally it did, and there stood Bobby.

Fifty years haven't Dimmed the thrill of those moments spent shivering, beside my Grandma, in Bobby =Decker's bushes. That night, I realized that those awful rumors about Santa Claus were just what Grandma said they were: ridiculous. Santa was alive and well
, and we were on his team.


I still have the Bible, with the tag tucked inside: $19.95.

FROM THE INBOX COURTESY KAY:

Holiday Eating Tips
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single- malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-aholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? I t's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention.
Reread tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.
Merry Christmas everyone! Want to race through your inbox even faster?

From the states: Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio is at it again—and we’re cheering him on. His latest idea for punishment for driving under the influence involves a chain gang—clad in black and white striped pants and pink shirts that read “Sheriff D.U.I. Chain Gang” —cleaning the streets at a busy intersection. The shirts also read “Clean(ing) and Sober” on the back. Sheriff Joe’s D.U.I. convicts not only suffer this public shame, but their punishment also includes performing burials at an indigent cemetery where many victims of alcohol abuse are laid to rest. We’ll venture to say that few of these 15 prisoners take the car keys again when drunk—if they even drink again. We also doubt that Ted Kennedy will be visiting Maricopa County any time soon.

Some think if we give them a hug or listen to them, then they'll like us... and if you agree? Then you are a pathetic dumb ass!

If they manage to get their hands on a nuke, chemical agents, or even some anthrax -- you will wish to God we had hunted them down and killed THEM while we had the chance.

Stop bitchin' about your damn Health Care, Social Security, Gas prices, and your measly 3.25% unemployment rate...and start worrying about you, your family's, and your friends' asses.

How many more Americans must be beheaded before you stop blaming
Bush for all your troubles ??
You've fallen asleep AGAIN, maggots!
And you may not get another chance!
NOW GET OFF YOUR SORRY ASS -
and pass this on to any and every person you give a damn about.. if you ever gave a damn about anything
DISMISSED!

Do you have enough balls to forward this email.. The truth shall set you free!!

BON VOYAGE, HEROES

LOOK OUT, WOLVERINES!!!


It is 32.o degrees out and Patrick and Junior are asleep downstairs.

We went to the National Guard Armory and the Local High School Gym last night to participate in Going-away ceremonies for Delta Company, the local Unit that is being deployed to Iraq. One of the troopers is a good friend of Juniors. God Bless them and Guide Them and Bring them all back home to us safely.

On a more somber note, from Mark, via the inbox:



WHEN TO START CUSSING
>
>
> A 6 year old and a 4 year old are upstairs in their bedroom.
>
>
> "You know what?" says the 6 year old. "I think it's about time we
> started cussing."
>
>
> The 4 year old nods his head in approval.
>
> The 6 year old continues, "When we go downstairs for breakfast, I'm
> gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass."
>
>
> The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.
>
> When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6 year old what he
> wants for breakfast, he replies, "Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I'll have
> some Cheerios."_ _WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the
> kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his
> mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step. His mom locks
> him in his room and shouts, "You can stay there until I let you out!"
>
>
> She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4 year old and asks with a
> stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast, young man?"
>
>
> "I don't know" he blubbers, "but you can bet your fat ass it won't be
> Cheerios!"

GO GATORS!!
