Top 10 Movies That Were Rated PG Before PG-13
These were all rated prior to the PG-13 rating when the R rating was a kiss of death for a comedy.
1. Smokey and the Bandit
2. Spaceballs
3. Cannonball Run
4. National Lampoon's Vacation
5. Fletch
6. Six Pack - why does this movie keep popping up in my lists? Trivia: the scene at the end of this movie when they finally bought a house (sorry to spoil the ending, but you've had 26 years to see it) was filmed about a half mile from where I grew up on Villa Rica Road (this only means something to Scott). I distinctly remember watching the film and pre-production crew - new landscaping, trees, everything - just for a 2 minute scene at the end.
While I'm on the subject, in the Georgia Satellites video Keep Your Hands To Yourself, the truck they are riding down the road in is a West Cobb Building Supply truck - West Cobb Building Supply was, for many years located at the intersection of Villa Rica Road and Dallas Highway, about 100 yards from my driveway. Check out 1:26 in the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my4lhkxLRjg&feature=related

Top 10 Things We Didn't Have When We Were Kids
1. Dick in a Box
2. Seinfeld (or even Seinfeld humor)
3. David Spade - actually, Spade-esque sarcasm - the closest thing Scott and I had was Todd Pratt, who was easily the most sarcastic human being I have ever met - he was Chandler Bing 10 years ahead of his time - could he be any more sarcastic?
4. HDTV - I had a 13 channel 9" b&w tv in my room until I was 10, then I got a 13" Sony, but threw the remote at the wall in 1984 when the Celtics beat the Lakers
5. Internet - that's probably a good thing. Enough said.
6. An appreciation for Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings - I hated my parents for forcing me to listen to these legends for many years in the car.
7. Cell Phones - I estimate that I spent over 2 years of my life waiting for my mom to pick me up after basketball or baseball practice ended early.
8. Guitar Hero - although we did have Bon Jovi in their heyday - an even trade in my book.
9. Email/text messaging
10. A winning baseball team in Atlanta - my nephew was 15 years old before he experienced a Braves team that did not make the playoffs in his lifetime.

Fist Pump Rules
Rules of Fist Bumping
1. If sports are involved, fist bumping is always acceptable.
2. If you are wearing a suit, you may only fist bump if you are drunk. Or if you have just wrapped part of your suit around your forehead.
3. You may not fist bump under any circumstances, in a hospital. Unless Rule #1 (or Rule #2) applies.
4. Do not fist bump someone else’s misfortune, even if it helps you. Just look down, furrow your brow, and nod sternly.
5. No fist bumping between the hours of 7am and 10am. And if you’re watching sports at this time, it’s probably soccer or NASCAR, and then you should really not be fist bumping. High fives will suffice for both.
6. Do not fist bump in a meeting. Even if you are drunk.
7. Do not fist bump your children. Unless you’re drunk, then it’s OK.
8. Girls can fist bump anytime they want. And yes, guys think it’s cute.
9. Do not refuse a fist bump. If you, as a bumpee, believe the bumper is violating a rule, speak to him afterwards. Refusing his bump is not going to help anything.
10. Do not fist bump yourself.
This list is NOT to be confused with the rules of fisting as it relates to Reggie Jackson Baseball:
1. Fisting is always allowed
2. Fisting is completely annoying after a few pitches in a row (or in Ed's case, the ENTIRE game
3. No complaining if you attempt to fist and hit the batter (causing 2 things to happen: 1. a buckdancing celebration on the mound, and 2. dead bodies to be transported across the field)
4. You understand that by fisting, your opponent has an equal chance of successfully "farting" out the fist for a hit
5. You understand that if you are pitching to Rod Laver that I may be baiting you by crowding the plate only to back up and jack a shot into the right field bleachers - fist neutralized.

Jail or Home???
Check out this link for a great prom story:
http://mj.933flz.com/pages/mainfeed.html?feed=204719&article=3673290
"they didn't give me any options, but to go to jail or to go home..."
When you think about it, Marche, there weren't really many other options. You showed up wearing a $4 piece of gold fabric from Walmart and nothing underneath.
"at some point, someone called the police..." yeah right, like the police were not already at the Sugerland Prom in southeast Houston - in 1989 at Pinetree Country Club, I, along with 50-60 other white private school students, attended my senior prom - there were 2 cops there.
Here are the posted guidelines for the Madison High School Senior Prom:
1. Only one inch of midsection can be shown
2. Bare backs are acceptable
3. Slits in the dresses can be no more than 3 inches above the knee
4. See through fabrics should not be in places which reveal private body parts
5. Proper undergarments must be worn
6. Tennis shoes of any kind are unacceptable
And of course, the unposted rules:
1. Only one inch of midsection can be shown, unless you are in your 2nd or 3rd trimester, in which case no more than 4 inches of stomach can be exposed (must show proof of conception date and receipt showing purchase of dress preceeded conception date)
2. Spandex only allowed under 200 lbs
3. Girls dresses can be no more than 6 inches above the knee
4. Boys pants waistline must be more than 6 inches from the knees

Movin' On Up!
Apparently my blog has now achieved at least regional coverage.
Check out the comment from "wareagleatlanta" to my earlier post.
I wanted to say a bunch of bad things about Auburn (it is my blog, after all), but reality says that in my lifetime, we are pretty even. Head to head, SEC titles, etc. The only thing I can say that Auburn is missing is that elusive National Championship (in the modern era). It really is too bad that they couldn't ride their "Herschel" to the big one. Sorry, but Bo may know alot, but he never knew #1.

Blackout???
Today, as a gift for serving on the WSA Board at the kids' school for the past year, I received a very nice gift. It is a framed print of the blackout against Auburn last November.
It made me wonder...
How do we move forward with the black jerseys?
The way I see it, we have a few choices:
1.) We wear them at our first "big" game - let's say Tennessee. Here is the problem with that. Aren't we saying that we need something extra to win this game? Are we sending the wrong message? Shouldn't we just be able to line up and beat Tennessee wearing any shirt? Also, what about South Carolina - do we unveil them there and give Spurrier something extra to talk about if they beat us - thus wasting the black for later games? Are the black jerseys better suited for home games? Maybe Alabama on Oct 27th?
2.) We wear them from day 1 and we keep wearing them all season win or lose. I like this idea. The Auburn win propelled this team to another level and maybe we should just be in black all year and see what happens. This also eliminates the problem of what do you do if you happen to lose a game in black. If we go with black, finish 10-2, then you just keep wearing them for the SEC Championship and beyond. But if you wear them selectively and lose, then what? I say 2008 is the year we wear black - can anyone chime in on whether we can wear black on the road - I'm pretty sure that SC plays in black sometimes, and I can assure you that Spurrier will put them in black if it means we must wear white in Columbia. Anyway, I say 2008 is the year of the blackout.
3.) We put them away and only bring them out under one condition...we are in the BCS National Championship Game. This idea is intriguing, but maybe not realistic. What if we lose by a field goal to Florida in the red shirts - maybe the black ones would have made the difference...
Any suggestions or other ideas?
I say we start black on August 30 against Ga Southern and we wear them in every game...except 1. We show up in Jacksonville in red shirts, and go right back to black against Kentucky the next week. Just my opinion. That way, when the season is over, and we have our first NC in 29 years, I can make millions off my t-shirt sales.

The Red & Black
Apparently, Nick and Tom have found how to search for old issues of The Red & Black. What they didn't know was that I had a few old articles in my possession...
Russ Hedden
Staff Writer
Dumbasses, Ken and Linda Whitehead, are resting comfortably in their hospital beds tonight after walking in front of an SUV driven by Nicholas Johnson of Columbus (yes, the same Columbus that produced Frank Thomas - as a matter of fact, Nick and Frank attended the same high school - actually, the more I think of it, Frank may have attended the same school as Alice Johnson - Nick's sister. Either way, Frank Thomas, Alice, and Nick are all bad-asses. Additionally, Nick's mother, Lynn Johnson, is (EDITED FOR CONTENT). But I digress...)After removing their heads from their asses, Mr. & Mrs. Whitehead were sent by ambulance (a big ambulance, I might add - the Whiteheads were big fat-asses. They should have just watched the game from their couch - a place that they are intimately familiar with evidenced by their fat couch-potato asses that Mr. Johnson was unable to avoid.)Also, a passenger in Mr. Johnson's vehicle, Scott Bowden from Marietta (holy shit, what can I say about Marietta? Eric Zeier, Cory Patterson, Travis Tritt...) had this to add, "all I know is that one minute we were singing "Straight To Hell" and the next minute these two huge asses were on the hood - I thought we had hit a horse - or maybe Packy". Bowden continued, "I know that without Nick's quick reflexes, mostly gained from hours of playing Sega Master System (circa 1986) Reggie Jackson Baseball, of which Rod Laver is a bad ass, and Great Basketball, which of course Nick is the Master, the accident would have been much worse. Also, Russ Hedden is amazing at Boulderdash". University police planned on stepping up patrols, but are unable to due to a shortage of manpower. Officer Gordon had this to say about increased patrols, "every time we increase patrols, the University vehicles parked behind O-House get smashed with all types of cans and bottles, and shit. I swear, whoever lives in or around room 317 or 319 has amazing aim and accuracy. Fortunately, we are able to remove the 8 foot long steel hand rail from the hood of one of the trucks and reattach it to the 3rd floor staircase last week." We will continue to update this story as new information becomes available.
Loft Is Not Just A Place To Sleep
Russ Hedden
Staff Writer
Building a loft can be an expensive process. The University sets guidelines for the construction so loft builders have to insure a compliant and safe sleeping area. Thankfully for Russ Hedden and Bill Clark, co-owners of We’ll Take Down Your Loft For Fifty Bucks If You Are Hot, One Hundred If You Are Not no standards have been set for loft removal. “We pretty much drink a few beers, and show up with a crowbar and a hammer”, says Bill Clark. Most loft removal businesses have gone out of business for lack of having any means of disposing of the loft materials. Clark and Hedden have remedied this problem with the acquisition of the key to the University wood room . “It definitely gives us a competitive advantage”, adds Hedden. “Without that, we would have to haul all that wood to the dumpster or who knows where – this makes our job so much easier. When the loft is down, we just open up the wood room, chunk everything in and head to our next job – or back to the room for a few more beers.”
Students build lofts for a variety of reasons – usually space. However a few OHouse residents have better ideas for the use of the space. Says Scott Bowden (yes, the same guy who was riding around with Nick Johnson listening to Drivin’ and Cryin’ when the Whiteheads jaywalked into Johnson’s vehicle) “Well, Bill can hop right out of the shower, call for the rock, do a 360 reverse, (clothing optional) tomahawk dunk into the hoop attached to our loft. Also, Russ can stand under it and listen to Hank Jr cassettes on my radio. I keep my low-rider there, so that anyone stumbling in late at night can just crash on it. And, it frees up the other room for a tv and vcr which we all know leads to getting girls into your room and into your bed – win-win” Tom Brannen adds, “yeah, lofts are nice, but without a large screen, like say a Burger King store sign, you really don’t have enough privacy. You really don’t want to sleep that close to Bill and Russ and whatever they drag in.” Bill had this to say, “why don’t you shut the hell up, Tom – you’re the one who talks in your sleep – this is my stop… whatever – go back to sleep.” So, if you are going for maximum occupancy, the loft is the only way to go. And when it’s time for removal, you know who to call.

Earl: You said you wanted a date night, didn't ya? Well, your chariot awaits.
Joy: You stole me a police car?
Earl: Yep. There's a hostage in the back too. If you say something scary, he'll show you pictures of his kids. They're cute.
Joy: I love you so much baby. I am gonna *beep* your *beep* *beep* with my sweet sweet sweet love *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*.

- Julie and our 5 kids
- TV shows - The Office, My Name is Earl, Survivor, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, CSI: Miami, Law & Order...
- O-House circa 1989-1990
- David Allan Coe
- Pete Rose
- Rod Laver
- Movies - probably Blazin' Saddles, Coming To America, etc.
- Sega Master System (c 1986) - specifically Reggie Jackson Baseball and Great Basketball
Let's see how this goes.
Wow, I'm a blogger.
