Friday Roundup: The Best Regular Feature We’ve Got. The Only Regular Feature We’ve Got.

Besides the regular feature: “The Biscuit Says Something Stupid.”

The Roundup:

  • Dear Potential Irish Recruits, you may wonder about the town of South Bend. Well, one thing I can say for sure, no recruits have ever been shot outside of a gentlemen’s club during a recruiting visit to Notre Dame.
  • Coach Haywood, currently of the Notre Dame Football Program, is interviewing. If it makes any difference, world, HLS fully endorses Coach Haywood for a head coaching position. Coach Haywood, sorry if our endorsement made a difference in a bad sort of way.
  • Mike Frank’s got his latest power-hour podcast up. Listen to it and try not to get so excited that you spontaneously combust. Spoiler Alert: You’re gonna be happy afterward.
  • BGS has a nice piece on Darius and his decision to go pro. For some reason, every time I think about the kid, this quote comes to mind: “You just summed up your entire sorry career here in one sentence! If you had a tenth of the heart of [Walker], you’d have made All-American by now!” I’m just not sure to whom I’m applying it.
  • You may have already seen this image by now, but IRT, as usual, was johnny-on-the-spot with it this week, so I give credit to them as a primary source.
  • House Rock Built has a very special guest blogger today. It’s amazing. It’s like a very special episode of Blossom.
  • EDSBS has us wondering 2 things: 1) Why is it called High Karate, 2) Tressel flies America West?  What, no money in the slush funds for quality air travel?  And understanding one thing:  That smell you smell?  It’s not your cubicle neighbor’s feet.  It’s the smell of Alabama football fans pickling in the aura of Saban.
  • Finally, ever notice that the musical intro to Baba O’Riley is 1 minute and 15 seconds long? Next time we need to drive a fascist dictator out of a church, we should just put that on a loop and blast it. I kicked a wall 43 seconds in.
Surprisingly not dead yet. Whoa.

Actually, “Hai Karate”

I lived in England in the 1970’s when this stuff was introduced during a wave of interest in Kung-Fu and other martial arts.

The bottle came with a leaflet of self-defense moves, ostensibly to ward off the hordes of desirable women who would assault the wearer of said cologne.

I wore it, but sadly never needed to use the leaflet, so I switched to Brut 33 on the (TV ad) advice of Henry Cooper, a retired English heavyweight boxer.

Seriously? It came with instructions on how to hit and kick women?
I knew the 70s were messed up, but…

Seriously - I know this is getting totally off-topic, but here is an eBay picture of the instructions.

Yep, the 1970’s were a screwy decade.

You guys need instructions? Amateurs.

Also, Q, you’d better not be suggesting that Baba O’Riley does anything less than kick ass. That song would rock your balls off if you weren’t married and still had your balls.

It’s friday. I have weekend visitation with them, Kermit.

Baba O’Riley kicks much ass.

Oh, and Q? Suck it.

I have legions of fans on this site. Legions.

No, no, Biscuit. The doctor said you have LESIONS, not LEGIONS. Lesions on your site.
