Todd's Friday Embarrassing Admission...

...or, Todd Attempts to Curry Favor With the Football Gods by Admitting his Moral, Cultural, and Intellectual Flaws in a Very Public Manner.

All right guys, this one is a doozy since it's LSU week and we need a good win to stay ahead in the polls.  So you know that Disney movie "Angels in the Outfield,"  where the kid's dad says he won't leave him if the Angels win the World Series or whatever (because they apparently suck and that was a crazy longshot thing to say), and so the kid prays that God will help them and suddenly angels that only he can see start helping the team, and whenever an Angel is there he stands up in the stands and waves his arms like wings so the pitcher knows they are going to help him (it's been awhile and I'm pretty fuzzy on the details, but I think the pitcher knew about it somehow)?  And you know how, at the end, when the angels aren't there for some reason, and the kid still stands up to signal the pitcher to try and make him believe he can get the last strike out or whatever even though he's on his own?  And you know how the rest of the stadium catches on and suddenly everyone in the stands stands up and starts waving their arms too?  I cried like a little girl during that scene, and I was way too old to even be watching the movie much less crying over it at the time.  And even more damning (and also wholly unexpected)?  Just thinking about it now sent more than one tear down my cheeks as I'm typing this.  So yeah, that better be worth some TDs..  Leave yours in the comments below.

So I guess...

…this week’s theme is movies that shouldn’t make you cry, but do. OK, here goes:

Cool Runnings. Every time I see them carry the wrecked bobsled over the finish line I get a bit teary.

man this is super scary...

just this past weekend my little boy was watching that movie and my wife and i sat down with him to watch it … and yes the big burrly man that i am i can admit there was a couple of places that i felt my eyes swelling and my throat tighting… so just to agree with you… maybe this will be worth more than some touchdowns, maybe its worth a win!! roll tide roll…

exact same thing! Sunday afternoon

it was on HBO family or something. I turned it on for my son and ended up with tears running down my cheek when the whole stadium started flapping their arms.

I hope that with three of us admitting to it, it doesn’t somehow validate it and take away the embarrassment.

Quick! Think of something. Umm, I cried during Patch Adams. Like a little girl. And not just the end (which I don’t even remember, probably because I couldn’t see it through tears).

I always

cry when I watch the end of “Remember The Titans.” Actually, I also cry when the coach gives the speech at Gettysburg. The bad thing is I watch that movie at least five or six times a year.

No shame in that

that is a killer scene

Alabama judges its team by national and SEC titles. Auburn judges its team by how many times it beats Alabama. You tell me who the dominant team in the state is.

Embarrassing Admission

I bought, a couple of weeks ago, Air Supply’s Greatest Hits. On purpose. Not sure if I shared that one yet.

I also got caught playing with my cousin’s barbie dolls and her McDonald’s barbie playset when I was 8. On film.

When i was younger

I used to let my little sister “do my hair” like she was a haircutter person. Bows, ribbions, mowhawks, all were done. Id play video games while she did her thing (its my lil sis bvack off) Until the one day when she decided she was going to die my hair and used white out to die it. I had a skin top for a few weeks——i was 13

Lock up the kids...

Before I began college, I was in a death metal band that toured the eastern U.S. Many many bad things happened (largely involving my two weaknesses: partying and women). But, hands down the most embarrassing is as follows:

In Gary, Indiana one night after a gig, there were two girls who wanted to party with me and the other guitarist. There was a supremely hot chick and a not-so-hot one (corpulent body with a face set on fire and put out with a wet rake). The not-so-hot one also had a bald head with a dragon tattoo on her skull. Well, the night progressed, and I got drunker and drunker and I was caring less and less about all of the above. I don’t remember very much of what happened except that I woke up with my face nestled in her thighs in a little puddle of vomit. And I was naked and covered with some orange film that must have been (please god, let it have been!!) from puking up 9 or 10 vodka sours.

3. imagine a puddle of orange vomit on her cheesy thighs with a dude’s very intoxicate face attempting a Joplin or Hendrix in there, and

Beyond creepy.......

Doesn’t anyone here have a psych degree???

Okay, here is mine. In highschool I was in the dance/flag group with the band. I was “featured” one week, as a senior girl was each week. I had car trouble and was late getting to the game—-didn’t get there until time to take the field, and I was dressing in the car. The ONE thing I forgot to put on were the bloomers over the panties, so when I twirled around my 15 family members in the stands all got nice pictures of those. It was made worse that no one told me until deep into the third quarter!

A.I.

I bawled like a little girl at the end of that movie when the robot kid gets reunited, sort of, with his dead (for centuries) mother. I couldn’t leave the theatre for about 5 minutes because I was not presentable to the world.

Also, I still tear up when I watch the Season 2 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I must have seen it a dozen times, so it’s not like I don’t know what’s coming. It just gets me every time.

That is not embarrassing...

I sobbed like a skinned-knee 4 y.o. at the end of A.I…and had a very profound and existential drive back home, where my ex-wife and I did not speak for about 40 minutes. Life just seemed so meaningless, so puny and frail. Ugh. My best friend, when he was getting depressive, used to go on rum benders and lock himself in his house watching A.I. on a loop…poor bastard.

If we're staying with movie themes...

I guess I can admit that about 2/3 of the way through “My Girl” I got so emotional I had to leave and take a walk around the neighborhood. Still can’t watch it to this day, I can’t even think about it without crying.

I lost a bet with my wife, the Barner, last year...

and had to wear an Auburn t shirt (her choice, my expense, just for an added kick to the nuts) to the Iron Bowl Party that we go to. All the women were very confused as to why I was yelling for Bama while wearing an AU t shirt. Seriously, that’s probably the most embarrassed I’ve ever been, as y’all can imagine, and I’ve even worn a dress for charity before. Doesn’t even hold a candle to donning those hideous colors. We even have photographic documentation that is on my wife’s (aka. "The Devil) desk at work.

since alot of these admissions deal with crying

If you can think of any part in any movie that deals with sadness, rekindling of old relationships, hell even happiness, i’ll cry, no doubt about, i just about cry over anything. i have video proof too, during my wedding, i cried like a baby. i’m a puss, big woop, wanna fight about it.

WOW.

I only cry at inspirational sports movies. And even then I conveniently get something in my eye cause I can’t stand to admit that I’m capable of tears. And I’m a GIRL. I will, however, cop to getting just a wee bit teary at the CBS football intro music. Not to be confused for any emotional attachment to CBS, because Lundquist and Danielson are tools.

My admission? My best friend is a Viles fan. I can’t think of anything worse.

Actually,

As a MOM, I have had to learn not to cry like never before! I have never been this tough in my life, as when my child is around. I used to be the one (pre-motherhood) who cried at every movie. I guess the “toughness” just carries over into the theater, in front of the tv, etc? They just don’t have the same effect that they once had.

Okay

I’ll pass on admitting who all I’ve woken up next to after nights of drinking, (Save those for the SEC game) but I will admit the movies I can remember crying to: “Titanic”-I know, the movie blows, but what can you do? “City of Angels”-Even the hardest of hard-asses has shed a tear at this one, though. Nick Cage gives up a life of eternity to be with Meg Ryan…..AND THEN SHE DIES??? WTF????!!? I came close on “The Bucket List” Pretty sure I could agree with the NJBammer on “My Girl” Roll Tide!!

Late to the party, but here goes (kind of graphic)

Before I started at Alabama, I had a few older friends in school there. Some of my hometown friends and I would often go to Tuscaloosa on the weekends to visit. The guys in Tuscaloosa had a townhouse that hosted some epic bashes that year.

One Saturday night, I had quite a bit to drink and had to use the bathroom, but the one downstairs was occupied, so I went upstairs to one of the bathrooms off the bedroom. There were people all in the bedroom, the hall, etc., but the bathroom was empty so in I went.

My intention was to do the old “#1” but while doing so, I felt a little gassy, so I did what you normally do to relieve that feeling. When I did, I noticed it felt a little warmer than usual. And it kept feeling that way. I had a feeling what happened, but I wouldn’t allow myself to believe it until I looked. I pulled my pants and boxers down to my thighs and inspected.

Oh no.

This was bad. I was an hour away from home, with no change of clothes nearby and I had just, for the first time since I was four, $hit my pants. I tried to clear my head and begin the task of cleaning up.

I though about it for a little bit and decided to lock the door. I couldn’t have anyone coming in and seeing this. I knew being in the bathroom alone with the door locked could arouse suspiscion. Somebody might think I was doing drugs. Oh well. Better a suspected cokehead than a confirmed pants $hitter.

After about five minutes, I was as cleaned as I would get. I spent the rest of the night keeping a distance from people, even ignoring one girl who seemed interested in me. Oh well.

Now, that’s bad enough, but the shameful part came the next morning when everyone was lying around just waking up from the festivities. One of my friends who lived at the townhouse came downstairs and announced, “Ya’ll aren’t going to believe this, but somebody $hit in the floor upstairs.” We all went up to check it out and sure enough, apparently a small amount got away from me in the clean up process. What can I say, I was drunk and only concerned with getting it off my person.

Of course, everyone suspected it was one of the random guests and not anybody still there in the morning. And I lied, of course. “Oh man, who could have done that? What kind of a sorry s.o.b. would $hit in somebody’s floor like that,” I said. I was careful not to say too much, just give it the appropriate amount of attention like everyone else. Nobody suspected a thing and I never mentioned it until now.

I was going to save this for Auburn, but OTS’s post got me fired up. We’ve got to beat LSU.

My admission

At one time I owned(still may, haven’t looked, and honestly, I’m too ashamed to look) the Ace of Base-The Sign CD. If that wasn’t bad enough, in the past month I have watched the new Little Mermaid movie as well as the new Tinkerbell movie. I too have cried watching Remember the Titans, as well as For Love of the Game and Mr. 3000(at the end where he bunts instead of going for the 3000th hit). I also cried watching The Bucket List(man that was sad) and A Walk to Remember. If you can name a movie that’s got a sad scene in it, I’ve probably cried. I also let my little sister do my hair when we were younger. I stopped short of her putting makeup on me though. I did that to myself later in life when I was doped up on meds after having my wisdom teeth taken out.

Where the Red Fern grows

A few years ago, my daughter was sick in bed, so I read Where the Red Fern Grows to her. If you have read the book (you can stop right here, Les) you know that at the end of the next to last chapter, it is a happy day—they won the coon hunting championship and all is well. I closed the book and lied to my daughter that it was the end. She may have been sick, but she is no dummy and could see that there was about a 1/4 inch of pages left and she insisted that I continue. In the last chapter when Little Ann dies and Big Dan is mourning her and then dies, my voice was broken up by very loud SOBS, but I continued to the end, although it took twice as long as any other chapter and my throat was half-way closed up. What a great book. Les should reconsider.

My favorite superhero

as a little boy was Wonder Woman. I dressed as Wonder Woman one Halloween, never knowing why my older brothers were laughing at me.

I enjoyed the movie Titanic so much that I went back and saw it alone a few days after.
