The Browns Board

  • Since next Monday is a Holiday I am going to probably skip this next week, so this week I will do a somewhat expanded survey covering various subjects. Please give your opinions/thoughts:

    1. I am of the opinion that the Boston Celtics are not nearly as good as they have shown the last two series because the entire year they have been nothing but creeky and that several things may have happened: a. the put a voodoo hex on the Cavs and Magic b. they found a leprechaun's pot of gold and were granted a wish to play this well...or at least have their opponent play poorly or c. someone has figured out how to spike the Cavs and Magic's Gatorade with Quaalude's as lethargic as those two teams played. Which explanation do you buy?

    2. Since the Browns QB is named Jake, besides him, Who is your favorite Jake?

    3. If you watch American Idol (I do) who do you think should win: Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze?

    4. Was Jim Brown right? Are the Cavs fans being "too hard" on LeBron?

    5. What is your favorit Italian dish?

    6. What are your plans for Memorial Day?

    7. Please use this opportunity to give a tribute to a serviceman, be that family, friend, past or present. Tell a little about their service.

    My own answers:

    1. I am of the opinion that the Boston Celtics are not nearly as good as they have shown the last two series because the entire year they have been nothing but creeky and that several things may have happened: a. the put a voodoo hex on the Cavs and Magic b. they found a leprechaun's pot of gold and were granted a wish to play this well...or at least have their opponent play poorly or c. someone has figured out how to spike the Cavs and Magic's Gatorade with Quaalude's as lethargic as those two teams played. Which explanation do you buy?

    Since I don't really believe in the supernatural, I go with the quaalude...or whatever the current popular downer drug is...explanation. Since game 5 of the Cavs series the Celtics opponents have been completely listless. I think they should all be drug tested and possible sabotage investigated. Maybe it was ketamine? Who says such a thing couldn't happen?

    2. Since the Browns QB is named Jake, besides him, Who is your favorite Jake?

    I think I gotta go with Jake Gittes, Jack Nicholson's character in Chinatown and The Two Jakes. "The Jake" Jacobs Field of course has got to be our favorite inanimate Jake object (I still basically refuse to call it by whatever new name they are giving it). As for someone I know personally, my son's college roomates name was Jake. Nice kid.

    3. If you watch American Idol (I do) who do you think should win: Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze?

    Crystal, because she has the best and most versatile voice. And she is from Ohio. The other guy is good, but I thought all along he should have only at best been top 5, not top 2.

    4. Was Jim Brown right? Are the Cavs fans being "too hard" on LeBron?

    Hardly. He has been glorified his entire career by we locals. If he is now suffering a few minor slings and arrows, they are of his own making. No one wants to leave so he will continue to receive treatment like he is Zeus on Olympus. He just now has to deliver a thunderbolt, because this year, his electricity suffered a short circuit.

    5. What is your favorite Italian dish?

    Veal Saltimbocca

    6. What are your plans for Memorial Day?

    Nothing concrete on that day. Earlier that weekend I have a 40th Anniversary party. Long gone are the days of our old Den of Iniquity Memorial Day Bash where we roasted a pig and had multiple kegs and where we brought in the back of a flatbed carrier to have a band play and have chicks dance naked on it. (this was on private farm property).

    7. Please use this opportunity to give a tribute to a serviceman, be that family, friend, past or present. Tell a little about their service.

    My Dad was a WWII Vet. He served in the 144th Field Artillery Group which was initially with the Third Army under Patton. They landed on Utah Beach on D-Day + 40. Initially of course they were hung up in the hedgerow country, but ultimately he went with Patton on the Breakout and the dash across northern France. By December they were bivouacked in the Saar Valley near the Rhine poised to cross into Germany. When the Battle of the Bulge came and Patton moved north, my Dad's unit got transferred to the 7th Army under General Patch. In March 1945 they crossed the Rhine and moved through southern Germany by Nuremburg, Munich, and eventually were in Strasbourg Austria on VE Day. They controlled the area around Berchtesgaden where Hitler had his mountain Hideaway. I even have photos of him up there at Hitler's retreat. Eventually, later in 1945 he got sent back to London where he ended up finding an English girl to marry him.

  • Zombo: Great tribute.

    But no, watching American Idol is not "gay".

    Maybe I should find a FAG (Field Artillery Group) to come down upon your head, like Maxwell's Silver Hammer.

    I think it's closer to "B" as no one has an answer for Rondo

    2. Since the Browns QB is named Jake, besides him, Who is your favorite Jake?

    Jake Plummer when he was at Arizona State, and OSU beat him in the final seconds.

    3. If you watch American Idol (I do) who do you think should win: Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze?

    Don't watch it

    4. Was Jim Brown right? Are the Cavs fans being "too hard" on LeBron?

    No, Jim Brown should keep quiet

    5. What is your favorit Italian dish?

    Veal parmesan with gnocchi

    6. What are your plans for Memorial Day?

    Going camping down at Charles Mill Lake, and getting some golf in as well

    Just a thanks to all our veterans, especially WW 2 vets[. My Dad & two of his brothers were in WW 2, and one of the brothers was shot down & killed in a battle. /b][/quote]

    Here's what I know about the show:

    The little gay host comes out and acts gay. Then, different amateur singers sing different songs to win a record deal and be the next pop "idol". Then the drama-queen judges chime in on their performances and everyone boos and hisses or cheers the judges. Then people at home "vote" for the winner and get all excited about which one of these people they don't know goes home or stays.

    Please point out the part that is not gay.

    I'm not saying you are gay. I'm hoping your wife watches it and you have no real life so you kind of got caught up in it ... sort of a guilty pleasure or something, because you like music, but not all the gay surroundings that go with it. You simply were too lazy to get out of your easy chair when she started watching it, so now you are following it to the end and it has so numbed your senses that you just admitted to watching it on a football forum.

    That's what I am hoping anyway.

    Zombo

    I don't know Zom, you are a little obsessed with the "gay" thing. I can admit that I like to watch American Idol, Survivor, Project Runway, and Top Chef, and be secure in my sexuality as a red blooded hetersexual American male. Can you?

    (maybe you need to go spend some time on that last link I gave on the Hot Cheerleaders thread You like the pink?))

  • Zombo said:

    No, because I don't watch any of those shows. I've seen Top Chef because I had a girlfriend that used to watch it, so that's why I was hoping you would use the wife excuse. Survivor is not gay to me ... just unwatchable. I guess you can get by with Runway because of the beautiful girls ... but again, just unwatchable. And Idol, my friend, is gay.

    Not that there is anything wrong with it.

    I'm sure you are a heterosexual man. But you are watching a gay TV show.

    Zombo

    Well, I didn't want to mention Zombo, but recall that singing lesson I gave you? I caught it on tape, so now I am going to post it on here for everyone else to see. That is me on the left, Zombo on the right:

    i would agree with the quaaludes. but seriously they tired themselves out by being the best team for the season. teams like the celtics and lakers know how to pace themselves and flip the switch in the playoffs/finals.

    2. Since the Browns QB is named Jake, besides him, Who is your favorite Jake?

    jake the snake. the football player, not the wrestler.

    3. If you watch American Idol (I do) who do you think should win: Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze?

    yes i watch it with my girlfriend. crystal has fallen off in the last couple of weeks but was the strongest and the favorite to win all season. depends on who cranks it up tomorrow. crystal i hope cuz she's from nw ohio like me.

    4. Was Jim Brown right? Are the Cavs fans being "too hard" on LeBron?

    i know him leaving would crush the team, but when is enough, enough? people here in ny think he's coming here or chicago. if you don't love and hope for your hometown or state, then come hang out with blubber lips jayz (which i think would be a way to make a move on beyonce that fat-assed dork diddler).

    5. What is your favorit Italian dish?

    chicken scarpariello. thin cutlets with hot cherry peppers in a butter white wine sauce. mamma mia!!!

    6. What are your plans for Memorial Day?

    watch the parade in the village outside the bar, then move the party outside to the grill and many coolers full of many different libations.

    specifically all my comrades from the 123rd sig btln, 3rd army, wurzburg, germany. and every other serviceman/woman who's ever served. god bless them all. and pleez watch over those who serve now. even though their situation is fubar.

    btw watching american idol is not gay. sometimes the process of the judging blah, blah sucks but there are people who've won who are multi-million dollar stars now. it's cool to know you saw them when they were on our generations version of star search (yeah, tell me you didn't watch that).

    They have a collection of team players who know how to win. Some teams stand up - the won the Championship two years ago - and some teams wilt. Celtics also have a fantastic heritage and there is something about that parque floor that gets the players 'up'.

    They were decimated with injuries last playoffs and played every team to the hilt, almost knocking off Orlando with several key players out.

    2. Since the Browns QB is named Jake, besides him, Who is your favorite Jake?

    Jack the Snake - former WWF Wrestler

    3. If you watch American Idol (I do) who do you think should win: Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze?

    Didn't watch this year.

    Who cares?

    5. What is your favorit Italian dish?

    I always liked Sophia.

    6. What are your plans for Memorial Day?

    Maybe our town's parade. Maybe a barbeque. Some PBR in it's Red, White, and Blue cans. No real plans that I know of.

    I'm with Zombo on this one

    LeBron has a thick skin - he can take it. When you wear the crown there will always be those wanting to tip it off.

    Slow roast pork with Juniper - I had it once in Umbria and I swear to God it was the most delicious thing I ever ate in my life

    I am blessed that no one in my immediate family line was taken from us in the line of duty. Although my great uncle was a priosner of war in a Japenes POW camp for three and a half years. I always felt a huge sadness for him as he never quite returned to the world of normality after that ordeal. many in the family found him to be an insular and objectionable man but he was always very nice to me. I was the only person he opened up to about his experience and I love him for that because i think it helped him, he once said, "I have been inside my own soul Howard and when all is said and done it is a very small place but it is your place - don't ever let anyone try to take yours from you, it truly is the only thing you own" I am glad you made me remember him, thanks.

    7. Please use this opportunity to give a tribute to a serviceman, be that family, friend, past or present. Tell a little about their service.

    My older brother Ron. Shot in Vietnam through both ankles, has a limp but gets around o.k. He lost a lot of friends in that war. Still active in the P.O.W. M.I.A. movement. May God Bless.

  • Since next Monday is a Holiday I am going to probably skip this next week, so this week I will do a somewhat expanded survey covering various subjects. Please give your opinions/thoughts:

    1. I am of the opinion that the Boston Celtics are not nearly as good as they have shown the last two series because the entire year they have been nothing but creeky and that several things may have happened: a. the put a voodoo hex on the Cavs and Magic b. they found a leprechaun's pot of gold and were granted a wish to play this well...or at least have their opponent play poorly or c. someone has figured out how to spike the Cavs and Magic's Gatorade with Quaalude's as lethargic as those two teams played. Which explanation do you buy?

    2. Since the Browns QB is named Jake, besides him, Who is your favorite Jake?

    3. If you watch American Idol (I do) who do you think should win: Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze?

    4. Was Jim Brown right? Are the Cavs fans being "too hard" on LeBron?

    5. What is your favorit Italian dish?

    I think they are pretty good since they beat us and are beating the Celtics.

    2. Since the Browns QB is named Jake, besides him, Who is your favorite Jake?

    None

    3. If you watch American Idol (I do) who do you think should win: Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze?

    Never have watched it.

    4. Was Jim Brown right? Are the Cavs fans being "too hard" on LeBron?

    I don't care about Lebron or if Jim Brown thinks we are being to hard on him.

    5. What is your favorit Italian dish?

    lazagna with Italian sausage or Spaghetti with meat sauce. Tie.

    6. What are your plans for Memorial Day?

    Visit my fathers and uncles graves, and my brothers.

    Grab two beers, visit my brothers grave who was killed in Vietnam in 1969. I drink one, and pour the other on his grave. Then I go and visit my father and Uncle's grave. They both served in the Marine Corps during WW2, but didn't see any action as the war ended while they were in boot camp.

    Powerful stuff, DieHard.

    God Bless you.

  • Note to Howie: We too recognize our Veteran's on November 11. We call that "Veteran's Day" (the former Armistice Day).

    Memorial Day is meant more to remember those fallen in action, or the deceased who served. Veteran's Day is meant more to honor the living who gave service, though Veteran's Day in most places is not a National Holiday where Memorial Day is. We have several other "patriotic" holidays or semi-patriotic. Martin Luther King Day in January. President's Day in February. The 4th of July/Independence Day of course. Labor Day in September. Columbus Day in October, Thanksgiving in November (though Canada celebrates Thanksgiving the same day we celebrate Columbus Day). Unofficially we also have Flag Day: June 14th. In Massachussetts, April 19th, Patriot's Day, is an official State holiday. (I think we already talked about that one). And, of course there is Christmas, New Year's, Good Friday, Easter.

    What "patriotic holidays" are there in the UK? The only one I am aware of is Guy Fawks day.

  • I personally watch Idol. I like the talent shows. If you mean the shows are happy when you say gay, then you are correct Zombo. The shows are happy shows.

    I think Lee wins. I want Crystal to win, but I think Lee has gotten better and better every week, and he just dominated the semi-finals. We shall find out tonight how he does heads-up against Crystal.
