Saw that as well. Screwball's Texas Troubadours are taking some hits.

John Madden is dead!!!

Post by Badfellow »

John Madden, you shitty old jockstrap.

We will miss you pinching the asses of cheerleaders and treating restaurant servers like slaves.

We’ll miss the way you used the hotel room towels to wipe your nasty ass then thought it funny to hide them under the bed.

Yes, we’ll miss your stupid video games. We’ll miss your loudmouth commentary, your spittle and that borderline retarded look in your eyes. Go shittily into that night, overgrown boy-prince.

Thanks.

Yes, John Madden, a well rounded human being. His loves in life included football, football, his wife, tough actin’ Tinactin ©, moneys and popcorn.

Does anyone remember when JM started an early video delivery company? This was about 1988 or 89. It was a fucking stupid thing where the customer had to mount a lockable plastic box to the side of their house. A Sears Catalog-size directory of available movies was mailed to the customer. They then had to call an 800 number to order the movies. The company had their own delivery drivers who would bring the VHS tapes to the customer's house and lock them in the stupid box.

The company was called Murphy Express.

I remember writing a paper for a marketing class about how absolutely stupid the business model was. I also remember that my roommate told me that he predicted some sort of service where you could access movies online via your television. I thought that was stupid too.

John Madden wasn’t just the spokesperson for Tinactin ©. It was the only product he found that would both deworm his brain and keep his chronic taint fungus under control.

Oh, of course. I have a VHS copy of Harry and the Hendersons that technically still belongs to the estate of John Madden. I should send it back to the bereaved widow with my condolences.

Betty White is Dead.

Post by Dear Booze »

Yup. Betty White is a failure at reaching 100. How sad. She worked on this for almost a century, but failed just a few weeks early. Damn. I was cheering her on.

Heard it from a friend who,
Heard it from a friend who,
Heard it from another she's no longer around.
She was ninty-nine
And she was feeling fine
All the talk about one hundred was all over town
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheaper when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, Betty
That I don't think it's true, Betty
And even if it is, keep this in mind
I think you were murdered, Betty
By some mad fool, Betty
Someone just didn't want you around
DRINK!
