Joe's Rambles

So I found a website that let's you talk to Santa. (Click here for SantaBot) He's a freak. We will pick up our conversation in mid-steam.

You: blow me.
Santa: You do not speak with respect. I've been waiting for you.

You: you like it rough?
Santa: I love horses. I like .

You: you like horses? What the fuck?
Santa: Yes Horses are beautiful and strong animals.Please don't be so rude.


You: do you fuck horses?
Santa: That was not a very polite question.


You: Answer me
Santa: Try asking me again using simpler words.


You: man, are you a horse fucker?
Santa: Cool, man. I sometimes think my a horse fucker are.

You: That is some fucked up shit.
Santa: Thanks for explaining some fucked up shit

You: You want to fuck my shit?
Santa: I have been asked that question more than 100,000 times since 1995.

You: Well, no shit?
Santa: Interesting. What can I say?


You: I think you're fucked in the head.
Santa: I am Santa. I give presents to kids.

You: Are you a pedo? (pedophile)
Santa: Am I a pedo? Maybe

You: Is that why you like kids to sit in your lap?
Santa: That's an interesting possible explanation.

You: That's sick
Santa: I'm glad we have that all cleared up.


You: Yeah, you're a pedo.
Santa: Ahem. Thanks and you are a delightful person too. Am I a pedo? No.


You: Yeah, you are.
Santa: No I'm not

You: Are you sure?
Santa: I am as sure as I can be.


You: So you just fuck horses?
Santa: Interesting deduction. That's good information: You said I fuck horses.

You: Do you?
Santa: Yes I do.

There you have it straight form Santa's mouth: Santa is a horse fucker. I think we can all guess as to why Rudolph's nose is red.

Well, the sixth verse is the same as the first. Last night the Iron Bowl was played. And Auburn won 17-10. It was a decent game. A real defensive struggle. Alabama had a chance to take the lead before half-time, but threw an interception in the endzone (pretty much like has happened all season.)

So now Auburn has won 6 in a row and are getting closer to Alabama's record of 9 in row. Next season's game should be a lot better. Both teams should be much improved over this year's squad. Alabama looks to have a great recruiting class for 2008 (Bama is currently ranked number 3 in that department) and Saban will have had a full year to get his system in place. Better days are ahead for the good guys!

So, congrats to Auburn for a hard fought win. We'll see ya'll next year in Tuscaloosa.

Today is the day. The day when all of the state of Alabama comes to a grinding halt. It is the day of the 2007 Iron Bowl.

This is more than just a football game. More than just a game for bragging rights. People in this state live this game 365 days a year. It is a game that is talked about, debated, rehashed, and relived all year long. If you are not an Alabama or Auburn fan I really do not know how to explain it to you. It is more than just a football game. It is the best rivalry game in college football.

Usually, this game carries SEC and national implications. Not this year however. Both teams have had down years (Bama is 6-5 and Auburn is 7-4). Nothing to play for but pride and bragging rights. But, that doesn't even start to tell the story.

For years Auburn lived as Bama's "Little Brother". While Auburn was mired in mediocracy, Bama was winning national titles and SEC titles left and right (Bama has 12 national titles to Auburn's 1. Bama has 21 SEC titles to just 6 SEC titles for Auburn). Auburn suffered through a 9 game losing steak to Bama. But my how times have changed.

Bama is the team in the shadows now. While Auburn still has not won a national title since 1957, they have won 5 Iron Bowls in a row (tying their school's record). Let me put this in perspective. I have 3 kids. Two of them were not even born the last time Bama beat Auburn. Auburn would love to make it 6 in a row. Bama would love to end that streak and start one of their own.

Both teams are coming into this game after losing their last game. Auburn was blown out by Georgia while Bama suffered an embarrassing loss to Louisiana-Monroe. A victory in this game would erase all of that and give the winning team a great end to their season.

I don't know who to pick. Both teams have a lot of minuses and few pluses. This should be a very good game. Will Auburn make it 6 in a row? Or will Bama end Auburn's streak and leave Jordan-Hare singing "Rammer Jammer?" We will find out tonight!

Roll Tide!

I hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Got this meme from Sage Thought I'd give it a go.

1. Going on a date with my wife. Now, this may seem strange to be on this list. But alone time with my wife is indeed an indulgence. We have three small kids at home (ages 9,5, & 2). So it is a real treat when we can call up the babysitter and head out for a night on the town. Plus, Tanda is a really cool chica and so much fun to hang out with! Love ya gal!

2. Making You Tube videos with Tanda. Now, we started doing this just for kicks and giggles. It was a great way to unwind after a long day. Just put the kids into bed, grab some coffee and have fun making silly videos. We actually have a good amount of subscribers. So I guess people like our silliness. Plus, we have got to meet some really nice people and watch some really funny videos.

3.Grabbing a beer and listening to a live band at the nightclub. I love live bands. Really doesn't matter what they play. I love the whole ambiance of the scene. Tuscaloosa has some really nice bars and nightclubs (it's a college town...what else would you expect?!). Our favorite clubs are The Legacy and Cheap Shots. The Jupiter is nice. But, it tends to attract the fraternity types. At age 30, I'm much to old to hang out with them.

4. Reading. This dropped down on my list because lately I have had so much reading for my masters degree program than reading is becoming blah. But, when I can read for pleasure, I love it. Right now I am reading a biography on John Adams. Really good. I love reading history, political stuff, religion, & philosophy. I am actually beginning a bibliography for a book that I plan to write. The genre of my book will religion/philosophy. It will be essay form more than likely.

5. Watching a movie on DVD with my wife. I love doing this. It's nice when just the two of us can stay up late and watch some movies together. Winter times are great for this. Grab a warm blanket and a cup of hot chocolate and the night is set!

6. Playing on the 'Net. Yeah, it's a mindless time waster most of the time. But that is what makes it so fun!

7. Wrestling around with my kids. With three boys in the house...you just know a wrestling match can break out at anytime. Doesn't matter when, doesn't matter where...at ANYTIME you are liable to be pounced upon by the three lion cubs! It's fun. I have a great time playing with them. They are great kids.

8. Watching SpongeBob with my kids. Yeah, I admit it. I am a SpongeBob fan. My kids love the show and it kinda grew on me. It's a pretty funny show. Mindless hilarity ensues!

9. Hanging out at the local coffee house. It used to be called Bad Ass Coffee. But now it is called Wicked Bean Cafe. They have a great selection of coffees, lattes, and the rest. Great place to study and just chill out. Plus, how can you not love a coffee shop that sells women's thongs! Bow chicka wow!

10. Martial Arts. I've been involved in martial arts since my junior high years. I took Shotokan for a long time. Had a little lay off and got involved with Chinese Kenpo. I love Kenpo. It is a real self-defense style of martial art (as opposed to kata based or tournament style martial arts). It's a hard style and I like that. It's a great stress reliever and gives one confidence to be able to defend themselves in any situation.

Well, that's my little list. Hope you enjoyed.

We went down to the River Walk the other day. I love that place. It has a nice walking trail (about a mile and a half in length) and a really great view of the river (the Black Warrior River). Really great scenery. There are some old style Southern paddle boats (not sure what they are called) that come down the river and it really adds to the whole ambiance.

We went down to there about sunset last Friday. There was a big football game here that weekend and some fans showed up in yachts and boats and had a tailgate of sorts (what's the nautical equivalent of tailgating? Sterngaiting? Bowgaiting? Portgaiting? I have no idea!). We took a view pics of the river, the sunset, and the boats. Hope you enjoy.
