Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Keeping my end of the bargain

So if you remember from awhile back I had a little problem with a deadbeat friend in our NCAA basketball tournament and I asked for help from a bunch of totally random, intensely smelly, mildly demented, possibly deformed, almost certainly drug-addicted strangers known as "BHGP readers."

 

Anyway, the poll results came back favorably:

However.....

There were a few minor problems.  Let's go with bullet points, shall we?

  1. I am a lazy man, so it didn't help that the winning idea was a complete and total pain in my asshole. 
  2. I had assumed that what OPS referred to as the "pubecheck" would be the easy runaway winner, so I really had my heart set on it. 
  3. The star idea was such a close third that it seemed a waste to simply discard it.

Therefore, I'm doing the only thing a sensible person in my position would do:  All three.

So, I don't know how much you all know about "star-naming," but let's just say it's a complete and utter crock of shit.  The International Astronomical Union is the only outfit which can name a cellestial body......and they don't call them "Tim Brewster eats my shit."  They use numbers.  These sites that charge you to name a star are selling you a $50 certificate that's celebrating the fact that your name has been entered into their database.  And yes, I realize that it would have been funny if I used his victory money to purchase such a bullshit gift.... 

What?  That's what you got your girlfriend for your 1 year anniversary?  Well, not only is that the world's shittiest gift, you could have gotten it for free.

Like so:

Still with me?  Good.  You're a disgusting human being.

 

Ok, so instead of splitting the payment into like 25 checks, I decided to do just two.  I assumed that if the checks were too small, he wouldn't bother cashing them.  I figured that the threshold must be about $50, so I made each one out for $52.50.  For the first one I used Elmer's a generic glue that looks like Elmer's and put a thin layer all over the check and sprinkled the goodies on it and pressed them down with a bible I found under my sink.  

Gluey-pubey check:

I'm not offended if you just puked in your mouth a little

 

For the second check, I doubled the hairs and used thick transparent moving tape for adherence.  Also, I post-dated it a month.  My hope is that he decides to take them both in at once and they tell him he has to come back in 3 weeks to cash the second one. 

Tapey-pubey check:

For some reason I'm still not allowed to use big boy scissors

 


Big shout out to the United States Postal Service for helping me out with this.  Neither snow nor rain nor letters filled with pubic hair keeps them from completion of their appointed rounds.

The end, I guess.  Sorry for not having anything truly Hawkeye-related to report.  Next time, though, I swear.......

That is either the greatest thing ever..

or the most disturbing thing! Maybe both..yes..definitely both!

+100 if you made sure some ball sweat got on those checks

I can read “services rendered” in the memo line of check 1, but what did you write on check 2? And I am disgusted with myself for trying to read what you wrote through a forest of gluey and tapey pubes. But even more for thinking you must have done a good deal of manscaping.

I came to this realization a long time ago. I’m really not sure anything can top a “pubecheck” tag.

The only thing that could top that

is tracking how many people are directed here for searching that.

wait… why are you doing this? I need a link more than anything I’ve ever needed before.

by Brian @ MGoBlog on May 1, 2009 1:40 PM CDT reply actions  

It was probably hyperlinked up there somewhere

But don’t worry, I never click on those things either. I’m far to eager to get right to the end.
On a related topic, I’m not really into foreplay.

by Colteyes on May 1, 2009 5:13 PM CDT reply actions  

though now that I think about it

you could have still written the 25 or 52 checks or whatever, and just postdated them all for different days, saving you the hassle of having to mail them every couple weeks, but still giving him the hassle of having to either wait a year, or go every week to cash them. You could have pubechecked them all, too (though I guess writing, and pubing, that many checks could classify as work)

I totally just registered a star for my wife for Mother's Day.

She asked me to do something small and neat from my 13 month old son. This is the type of good stuff she should come to expect from my son :).

MR HFMR, YOU ARE MY HERO

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long long time. I just pissed my wife off because I laughed so hard it woke her up…and I was totally quiet, it was from the bed shaking! This is epic. If I ever meet you, beers on me dude.

I can't believe I'm asking this, but

Did you at least dump the excess pubes into the envelope?

Good Question

That had been my intention all along, but I got yelled at for having pubes all over the computer desk and ended up getting flustered and throwing them away.

You glued pubes to a check with the intention of mailing it

And you got yelled at for getting pubes on the desk?
