It was pretty well the same as yours. Except I don't know Thad's cat well enough to hate it.

A festivus for the rest of us!

I'm guessing you originally posted this in a thread that got axed?

by **smupony94** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 9:34 pm

I thought it deserved it's own thread

1. TWSS

It was old when it was first posted by Ex. Now every Tom, [deleted] and Harry that has no idea of the origin tries to use it. LET IT DIE!

2. Economy

My vast fiefdom has taken a hit.

3. SMU Athletics

Just don't tangle with BUS in feats of strength.

Grievances:
Losing to Tulane (who lost to Army).
Not stopping the run against Navy.
Women's Golf didn't win the NCAA's last year.
The demise of the Secret Coach Thread.

Don't forget to act now to get your pole in time for Festivus!

... and I am glad, '94, that you edited the original post to read "2008" rather than "2668".... I was going to ask whether in 660 years SMU had actually had any success/gained any relevance on the football field - seeing as you were, seemingly, in a temporal warp bubble.

SMU-related Only
1) The guys in yellow coats in the stadium tend to not know or not care how to help you.
2) Only one or two merchant card machines in the stadium
3) SMU merchandise needs to have wider release; the administration is too proud of the logo and trademark
4) The use of non-students to solicit funds. Is cheesy.

Non-SMU-related Only
1) The utter lack of understanding of sophisticated financing tools by any of the US Congress, yet claims of "reform". Whatever...if you don't understand what went wrong, any success at fixing it is an accident.
2) Oil & Gas = WTF? Went from "...too much consumin' goin' on out thah..." to "...no consumin' goin' on out thah...". How the hell does that happen in 75 days?
3) Automobile and Auto Union Execs - Need a well-earned enema, but the [deleted] that comes out were they to get one would go all over everything.
4) Governor of Illinois...what a loser...this guy isn't a Democrat...he's a Tammany Hall holdover and a wicked SOB

Focker: I'd say strong...to very strong

(1) Posters who attempt to put movie quotes or famous sayings in their signatures, but they actually misquote the movie or person...Shouldn't drive me crazy, but it does.

Actual quote is "KEVIN: There are a lot of Benjamins to be made now with biotech stuff. I don't have to tell you that. How's your portfolio? GREG: I'd say strong...to quite strong."

(2) Vampires

(3) Grey's Anatomy...I know my man card is put in serious doubt by the fact that I watch this show from time to time. Wife got me watching it when it first started and my less masculine side took over and I started watching it. Good show first couple fo years. For anyone else still watching it, could any show be more f-ing ridiculous. Jumped the shark.

(4) Russ Martin...so overrated. Good riddance.

(5) The Hardline minus Greggo. Not that Greggo was great, but the dynamic of the show has been off ever since and hearing Corby try and give hardcore sports opinions almost makes me do the unthinkable and turn on f-ing Galloway. Might just go back to the Ipod on afternoon drive.

(6) Tim Tebow...impossible not to love the guy and sit in awe at the way he wills himself and his team to victory, but DANG I wanted Bama to get a shot at the national title.

(7) BCS...forget the title game, I am OK with FLA v. OU, I just wish the BCS had been smart and given us some great matchups. Texas v USC. Bama v Penn State. Unbeaten Boise v. unbeaten Utah...so much potential for greatness and it was wasted.

8. My gut. Dang I'm fat.
