Your RBR Word of the Day: crepuscular

by Todd on Apr 20, 2009 8:00 AM CDT

crepuscular \kri-PUS-kyuh-lur\, adjective:
1. Of, pertaining to, or resembling twilight; dim.
2. (Zoology) Appearing or active at twilight.

After seeing the field goal that would have won the game in regulation blocked and the defense nearly helpless to stop the interior runs without a healthy Terrence Cody, a crepuscular gloom that mirrored the fading daylight in Tiger Stadium fell over the Crimson faithful...until Rashad Johnson picked off Jarrett Lee in the end zone that is.

From the Latin root word "creper"

Meaning: dark; doubtful. This is a great word Todd. It’s one of the easiest Latin words to conjugate. Which reminds me:

Dave Chappell playing Rick James would call Eddie Murphy’s brother Charlie: ’Darkness!" (Latin: Crepusculum!

For those of you who haven’t watched this skit, it happens to be one of the funniest skits EVER on television. (disclaimer: there is a good degree of cuss words, misogyny, and otherwise untoward behavior. BUT, it’s worth it!)

Comer4tide to Nico2.0: "How come I've never heard of any of your random songs?"
Todd to Comer: "Because if you had, he wouldn't listen to it. BOOM. Roasted."
Nico to Todd: "Shouldn't you be off voguing somewhere?"

The

Prince one where they played basketball was also quite hilarious.

Didn't see this ben. . .

. . . this morning I did though. Sorry for the delay- YES! when he played prince. . . .I was gassing! I didn’t catch Dave Chappell until about 2 years ago. My buddy (his name is Cliff, but he doesn’t “look” like a Cliff, he looks like a stud-baseball player. . . so I call him “Claudel”. Cliff likes the name Claudel better so. . . .Claudel it is)Anyway, Claudel had all these DVD’s of the DChappell Show.

I watched them all in one weekend. I only left my house to go to jiujitsu. Other than that, throughout the following week- I watched them ALL OVER AGAIN.

Some funny funny sh_t! (is it me? or WAS THAT CAT DAVE stoned outta his mind when they taped his opening monologues? Either that, or he’s the most Asian lookin’ brotha I’ve seen in a long time. And the last time I did. . . .I was baked. With Claudel.
