The only time I didn't say hi to a reg here in person was because right before I was about to introduce myself to him he used the "Well if I weren't married, you'd be exactly what I'm looking for" line on my wife's friend to help "wingman" for his friend.

I thought at the time it'd be much more fun to post that story the next Monday. And it was.

The first time I met the vast majority of the people I've met from GYERO, I went to a bar in downtown Cincinnati, by myself, for that specific reason (and for cancer and charity and stuff).

Upon second thought, that probably wasn't the best idea. But you know what, I didn't die or anything. Come on Transy.

Malnatis is a chain for tourists like yourself, not even top 5 in Chicago


Try the pulled pork next time, probably more your speed.

I remember thinking Bonzo was BBdK one time at Drakes in Lexington about 4 years ago. Just saw a bald person at Sloot and Anths table.

Sloot cleared it up.

-The pulled pork is probably better than that soup they try to pass off as pizza. Chicago is an amazing city, their pizza is not.

-This is Major!!

-Meteor... Schmeteor!!

What grades/years did you dominate? Not necessarily sports, but just things in general. I'm going to have to go with 2nd grade (1980-81) and then 8th grade (1986-87). CRUSHED those grades/years.

Watching the kids go off to school today...just thinking how lucky they are. School was incredibly awesome, easy, and worry free (in hindsight). Would LOVE to go back to 2nd Grade. Good times.

Being a kid was definitely awesome compared to the crushing, deadening grind of being an adult, but I think we forget some of the ******** you had to navigate through as a youngin.

but those last 2 words are pretty important. my kids think exactly as I did, it is torture to be woken up early slam on a uniform and be stuck in a school building where I can't do anything I want to do. ALL DAY LONG.

-I loved college, crushed it, but if I had a choice it'd be that 10-13 range. Just pure fun. Zero responsibility. Biggest concerns were talking my parents into getting me a beeper, how many Cokes I could drink during a overnight and the upcoming mixer.

-Only thing I remember about 2nd grade is having a hot teacher and getting busted trying to forge my parents signature.

Any UK folks ever hang out with the AA sororities? I obviously knew they existed, but never really saw much of them until some IFC/PanHellenic dinner my senior year where I sat at a table with a bunch of those girls.

Very nice, and absolute smoke... gracious.

[laughing] about the Quiz - well done. Although I've never initiated contact with anyone about it - that would defeat the whole purpose.

The beauty of it is that we've only used it defensively, i.e., when UNC fans start the trash-talking. Which, strangely enough, is part of their DNA and used to happen all too often.

The Quiz is not a weapon to be used offensively, but is designed as the perfect response. The atomic bomb when some idiot UNC fan starts a fight with a pocketknife. Leaves 'em speechless every time. The Showstopper. The literary version of "Drop the Mic".

I went to one of their house parties on accident once b/c it was right around the corner from the Delt House on Audubon, and we just kinda stumbled into a crowded back yard on our way back from somewhere else. Ended up making out with this chick named Xacuetia (Za-queesha)

...despite the name, she was a light-skinned, really smart/sweet girl. Only dated white men. Took her home, but not before we went to Waffle House and rendered ourselves useless for later. Blew maybe my best shot ever at taking one down. :cry:

Thursday Randoms:

- Cincinnati Restaurant Week. Every nice restaurant in the city with deals- Ruby's and Morton's ($45 for 3-course meal). Lassie's mom is in town so we're hitting up D. Burnham, which is in the new Renaissance Hotel on 4th, on Sunday.

- Love that Lorenzen is getting some national run. Good dude. Good personality. Maybe something national will open up for him.

- Is "Wedding Crashers" the last great comedy? Have watched that movie 50x and still just as good the first time. And Isla Fisher- eek. Hello Red.

- Go-to donut? Chocolate-iced yeast for dad. When they have it, Holtmans comes striong with a chocolate-iced cruller, too.

- Remember the first time you heard NWA and how radical/awesome it was? I still remember pumping that ish and 2-Live-Crew as 5th graders. Catholic school kids with Js on their feet, listening to gangsta rap and thinking we were cool.

- With that said, never was a fan of Too Short.

- I don't think there's anything creepy about Transy's post or how he handled that situation.

- That being said, it's weirder to me the guys who have posted here for years that we still haven't met. That's weird.

- Chicago pizza, NYC pizza, Louisville pizza- it's all good pizza. Stop Anthin', Anth.

- My BEST years:

8th grade- started on the basketball team, had a great year in baseball, dated the hottest babe in the class
HS senior year- finally started going out, great group of friends, hosted the best parties that year, Homecoming court, Prom King
College senior year- finally turned 21, living the dream at UK, dated some hot babes
Age 25- living in Mt. Adams, most of my buddies still single and going out, career year with the babes
Age 31- as ABH had told me years before..early 30s were awesome, still having fun on the town
Age 34- finally started figuring some **** out, feeling more mature

College.... All of it.

This time of year right now was the best. Reunited with some buds that I haven't seen since May. No classes. Parties every night. Fresh crop of freshmen tail coming through.

Mercy. Getting a hard on thinking about it.

With your frats focus on racism I'm not surprised.

Agree. Always assume they must be super awful and are embarrassed to be 'exposed'...

...which is silly. We've met plenty of dorks on here, but are pretty much 'cool' going forward with anyone we actually meet. I mean, we're all Wildcat friends when it comes down to it.

-If/when I ever get to Chapel Hill, or know we are somewhere with UNC fans in the NCAA, will definitely be printing out that quiz.

Playing it like Century has described, just keeping a few in the back pocket, and casually hand one to anyone who feels like mouthing -- that would just be awesome to watch their reactions as they read/walk off in amazement/embarrassment. [laughing]

We integrated the 102 year old chapter when I was President, Anth. Eat ****.
Same chapter with students CURRENTLY walking around campus wearing "South's Greatest Fraternity" shirts and the letters in confederate flag layover? Or the one with the much publicized fight song that describes hanging black people from trees?

But congrats on allowing black members in 2004. How progressive of you.

The 40 year Old Virgin which I like more than Wedding Crashers came out like a month later.

Good film, but completely disagree.

I'd say "Knocked Up" comes the closest, but not sure if that's a pure comedy or a rom-com.

SAE (the poster) is obviously not racist. What the hell do you want him to do? Sounds like when he had some power, he did his best.

And these idiotic frat boy racists- are they really racist or just fronting trying to impress each other and being complete dickhead fools with their silly chants and such? Either way, it's ********, but there's a difference.

My fault, Anth. I'll try to end 19-22 year olds being stupid this afternoon. K?

Did the Chapel Hill roadie 2 years ago. The place is gorgeous and it's cool to go on a basketball road trip to place that is basketball town. Kind of like going on a SEC fball roadie except the fans are almost as passionate about bball as UK fans.

Had a blast and will say their pregame intro at the Dean Dome is the first time I've ever been in awe of another program's Gameday experience. Some video that played to Ball So Hard and when the "Jordan Game 6" lyric hit they flashed these Jordan highlights on their video boards that was really cool.

All that considered there was still that air of "Carolina Way" with most of their fans. Some were cool and some were ********. Could've used The Quiz once or twice.

It's a bucket list place to see the Cats play there, IMO.

Oddest grade school cool trend...

Indoor soccer shoes becoming the Go-To sneaker of 6th grade. Diadoras on fleek.
