Weekend Plans

I'm out for the weekend kids, but I do plan on accomplishing at least some of the following:

1. Finish the Running Back Success Rate numbers.  Likelihood of this happening?  35%.  That stuff is boring and will turn you cross eyed.

2. Get a bunch of recruiting post stuff together.  Likelihood of this happening? 90%.  Not nearly as boring as counting.

3. See at least one of the following four movies:  The Wrestler, Gran Torino, Revolutionary Road, or Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (shut up, you know you thought the first one was awesome!).  Likelihood of this happening?  Pretty small, actually.  If I do get out, it will be Sunday afternoon, but that's really prime blogging (and playing NCAA 2009 time) for me and with the previous two weighing on my mind, I should really stay in and get some work done.  Actually, knowing me the fact that I will be thinking "I really should be blogging" will probably make me want to go to the movies even more, so change that to "pretty good chance this will happen."

4. Go to the UAB/Rice game tomorrow and pretend the Alabama Basketball does not exist.  Likelihood of this happening?  100%, lawya, I got them season tickets.

5. Relinquish any last vestige of my masculinity by spending most of tonight and tomorrow morning playing with the Girl's adorable puppy, whom I love beyond all reason and wish I was playing with right now. Likelihood of this happening?  Again, 100%.  Look at this sweet face and tell me you wouldn't do the same:

Snow dyed her hair black...

Shut up Comer!

My puppy (9 months) is a shih tzu, and looks EXACTLY like that one except he is solid black. I will post a pic when I get home. Or better yet, look at my facebook profile and the photo album named BUSTER.

and laughed. funny story about one of those little dogs, my neighbor HAD “being the key word here” until a week ago…..see a real man has a lab, pure black lab that will lick you to death if you mess with its owner…..

I will call you later tonight after I get some whiskey.

And I love my shih Tzu, but they are so damn needy. Unless you are right next to it the dam thing will whine all day and night.

I’m not convinced that that is a dog. It looks more like a midget ewok.

Now this is a dog:

I'll say this...

…I’m a big dog person myself (I want a german shepherd) and when she said she wanted a shih tzu, my first thought was “little yappy dog.” But what can I say, since the day we got her I’ve been completely in love with her. I’ve grown soft in my old age apparently.

by Todd on Jan 23, 2009 3:37 PM CST up reply actions  

My parents had an ewok a shih-tzu for a while (Frazier). Amazing little guy, such a personality.

Funny thing… while we had Frazier, we also had a 110lb Rottweiler named Mac. Mac would bound through the house and you’d hardly hear it… but when Frazier even so much as trotted, the whole damn house shook.

I still have no idea how that worked.

by PeteHoliday on Jan 23, 2009 3:42 PM CST up reply actions  

That's....

…definitely weird. Maddie moves like a ninja, she’s there one second and gone the next (or vice versa).

by Todd on Jan 23, 2009 3:54 PM CST up reply actions  

for real

I have always loved labs, but Shea never had a dog so we started off small. Buster is the most loyal dog you will ever meet. and has a lot of love to give as well.

Not bad

but try a Bouvier if you want a real dog. :-) World War lineage and still used as police dogs in Belgium. I have a great picture of my 9 year old running with teeth looking fierce that I love. Of course, she’s actually a therapy dog for seniors and people with dementia, but that’s ok. She looks touch even if she is a push over.

by Bama_95 on Jan 23, 2009 11:37 PM CST up reply actions  

typo

that should say she looks “tough”.

Gran Torino...

If you go see any movie other than Gran Torino, you are a total pussy.

Seriously, go see it, the best movie I’ve seen in years.

by outsidethesidelines on Jan 23, 2009 3:39 PM CST reply actions  

That's the one I want to see most...

….because of my Eastwood worship, but I do love some Aronofsky so the Wrestler is a very close second.

by Todd on Jan 23, 2009 3:42 PM CST up reply actions  

its a badass movie

but dont expect a dirty hairy movie, its a rpetty serious movie….but super good and prob my favorite eastwood movie

Yep...

It’s far from your typical shoot-em-up movie, it has a lot of depth.

by outsidethesidelines on Jan 23, 2009 3:58 PM CST up reply actions  

I cant wait to see it

but I really want to see the wrestler as well. Probably go tonight.

My dog looks like Pete's

and does a great trick. I have cued her to roll over and play dead on the words, “dead dog.” So, depending on the team of the week, I ask her, “would you rather be an Auburn fan or a dead dog?” And the crowd goes wild nd hse gets a zillion belly rubs.

Nibbler...

…is actually one of the roughly 10,000 nicknames I have given her. It’s disgusting the way I treat this dog.

by Todd on Jan 23, 2009 4:24 PM CST up reply actions  

Hey, my folks have two of them...

…and even got my wife to give them Chinese names (my wife’s Taiwanese, btw). They’re empty nest replacements for my brother and I and they even have [shudder] their own baby buggy.

Anyone who dresses their dog up

in anything BUT Alabama apparal should be shot. And even then it has to be the right thing, no pinkish sweater or booties. Dam #12 Namath/Stabler/Brodie jersey for Buster FTW!!!

Running back success rates

Are the end results going to be as boring as the calculations? You have been moaning about calculating for a few weeks now, so if the end results are going to be just as dull, maybe it is time for you to take a vote? I enjoyed the week-to-week numbers, but they were obviously a different animal! Isn’t it going to be a bit disturbing to work on this for everyone for this long and NO ONE even comment? Personally, I think I would take a vote….

by crimsongirl on Jan 25, 2009 11:57 AM CST reply actions  

No...

…the end result should be very interesting and worth at least a week’s worth of posts.

by Todd on Jan 25, 2009 2:48 PM CST up reply actions  

Great!

Then get back to work!;) Really, I am looking forward to it…eventually….maybe. Along with the promised one from Nico on championship games…..eventually….maybe.

Ah, ignore me. I have no life this week.

My

chihuahua has a crimson sweater which on the back reads,I’m having Big Al’s Baby.She gets lots of laughs while strutting around in that thing.
