7 things I have done to get ready for the football season

[ThadFilms]

With pictures!


I would like for you guys to throw out a random number of "things" - as in not 5 or 10, you know, 4 would be good... no pictures needed on yours. (And we can just say that the 7 is yet another attempt to join the official cult of Chris Phillips.)

I apologize for the less than stellar picture quality of my camera phone.

Okay... without any ado -


Number 7.



Made my wallpaper the pony up thing... wanted to know whether seeing it everyday would make me hate it, tolerate it, or like it... and the verdict? Like it.





Number 6.



Got a nice 35 inch HD for the ThadPad... which is also to say, I got my own place - one bedroom right off Zilker - yes no longer am I sharing a roof with LF68 and Mrs. LF68 ... I think they are struggling with empty nest syndrome.

Please note that The Knuckleheads are not in HD... and that my laptop is set to PF.com... which is pretty much it's natural state.

(Yes I have an HD DVR, and I set the DVR to record the Ponies on Monday before leaving the Pad this AM.)





Number 5.



Added a nice Mustang neon to the apartment... it was a housewarming gift from the Dad, so even though I can't take credit for the purchase, it's the spirit of the thing.

Please note that you can see the reflection of the Mustang in the reflection of my telly in the number 6 picture.





Number 4.



Purchased a few mini helmets. Gave one to the bro for his birthday, and got one for my place. Tasty.





Number 3.



Purchased a #16 jersey with the name Willis on the back... if the NCAA is reading this thread, it's for my cousin, Jimmy Willis, he just turned 16, I promise. Who is this Justin you speak of?

Bought it to replace the #8 Martin jersey that now currently resides in Germany.... oh and that jersey, I, uh, bought for my buddy Martin Nelson... who was born on the 8th... I'm serious... but it was too small for him.

Neumann!!! (Thanks to our man Juergen for the German national team soccer jersey... solid trade.)





Number 2.



I picked a name this year that lightly poked fun at our woes... every other year I pick some name like "Pony Express", or something pro SMU.

I figured the light jab would disturb the ether... you know, throw a wrench in the cosmic stew.





Number 1.



Yup, I shave the head. Can't be out in the sun with that mane... plus, you're not hard core unless you live hard core.



What have you guys been doing to get ready for the season?

Looks like you have a strong fantasy football squad.

Looks like you have a strong fantasy football squad.

You wouldn't believe... my third running back is Reggie Bush.

For the record I am in another league and that team name? The Reynard Muldrakes ... I'll buy a donut for the first person to name the reference.

Bald Thad looks like Dr Evil!

travis henry is going to be a bust

Fox Mulder's alter ego in the book "From Outer Space" from an episode of the X-Files?

So does that make LHF68 his "Number 2"?

[PK]

Awesome Thaddius.

[ThadFilms]

Thanks, PK...

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Yup... Jose Chung's "From Outer Space" featured Special Agents Reynard Muldrake and Diana Lusky....

One of the top five X-Files episodes hands down. Sweet potato pie, yum.

Bald Thad looks like Dr Evil!

So does that make LHF68 his "Number 2"?

"Number One, I order you to take a number 2."

And that my friends is the first time I have ever quoted Beavis and Butthead in written form.


I don't know though, I'll admit that the chrome domus does give me that Dr. Evil flavor... but the queue-ball-ectemy I performed, when standing next to LF68 and his flowing locks, it gives us more the look of drummer and bass player from a struggling metal band.

[that's great raplh]

what a freak

good for you

He and I are meeting for the first time on the Blvd

[expony18]

are you going to make out

[Cadillac]

And I'm lucky enough that Romo's my #3 QB lol.

Though Thad and I have to jointly hope that Colston doesn't lay a huge sophomore egg this season.

I can't even begin to tell y'all what I've done for this season lol. Once the dust settles, I'll be all over the board with it lol.

Of course, that's the only way to upstage the Knuckleheads at this point... Wait. No, I don't think it's worth it... so, uh... only if an evening with Scarlett Johannson is on the line. I'd make out with Screech for that.

So uh, yeah, I got Scarlett on the line here, she's cool with it... but, uh, you know, I understand if you can't come through on this one. I'm just going to have to let her down. Again.

Though Thad and I have to jointly hope that Colston doesn't lay a huge sophomore egg this season.

Does that mean we have joint custody?

Sorry Scarlett, again, damnit!!! It was a mistake!

[ThadFilms]

.....

So uh, no one else did anything remotely interesting to get ready for the football season? ... Anything? ... Anything at all?

A simple "I texted pony up to ESPN 103.3", would suffice.

I guess I'll cut off a pinky next year to make up for the apathy
