James Vandenberg Goes Bear Hunting

Iowa quarterback James Vandenberg and wide receiver Nick Nielsen walk through a Canadian forest on a bear hunt.

Vandenberg_icon_medium This is the best idea we've ever had, Nick!
Nielsen_icon_medium You're right, James.  This is awesome.
Vandenberg_icon_medium Just two guys in Canada hunting bears.
Nielsen_icon_medium Not a care in the world.
Vandenberg_icon_medium Not another person for mi--
Iconokeefe_medium Hey guys!
Vandenberg_icon_medium Hey, um...Coach O'Keefe?
Nielsen_icon_medium What are you doing here?
Iconokeefe_medium Well, I heard about your hunting trip and thought I'd join you!
Vandenberg_icon_medium You thought you would join us...on a bear hunt?
Iconokeefe_medium Yeah, I love bear hunting.
Nielsen_icon_medium I didn't know you'd hunted bears before, Coach.
Iconokeefe_medium Oh, I've dabbled here and there.
Vandenberg_icon_medium Well, I suppose you can join us.

Vandenberg_icon_medium YOU DID WHAT?
Iconokeefe_medium You must stop relying on your shotgun, James.  It doesn't work at this level of hunting.
Vandenberg_icon_medium I...I...
Vandenberg_icon_medium /reaches into pocket for shot
Vandenberg_icon_medium /pulls out a piece of Virginia ham
Iconokeefe_medium Yeah, I put ham in your pockets, too, so that the bear will come closer.
Vandenberg_icon_medium YOU'RE GOING TO GET US KILLED!
Iconokeefe_medium You must fight the fear, James.
Iconokeefe_medium You must fight it with your bare hands.
Iconokeefe_medium LOL BEAR HANDS GET IT?
Vandenberg_icon_medium Oh my God we're going to die.

Blackicon_medium Are you OK, James?
Vandenberg_icon_medium Yeah, I'm fine.
Blackicon_medium Are you sure? Maybe you want something to eat.
Vandenberg_icon_medium No, really, I'm...wait, who is this?

in case of accidents he always took his mom
he’s the all-American bullet-headed saxon mother’s son

Deep in the jungle where the mightly tiger lies
Bill and his elephants were taken by surpirse
so Captain Marvel zapped him right between the eyes

All the children sing
Hey, Bungalow Bill
what did you kill
Bungalow Bill?

Hey, Bungalow Bill
what did you kill
Bungalow Bill?

The children asked him if to kill was not a sin
“Not when he looked so fierce”, his mommy butted in
“If looks could kill, it would have been us instead of him”.

When did Nick Nielsen transition to WR?

Was he THAT BAD at safety that even as thin as we are at that position he would be better at WR?

God I really fucking hate you guys

Every time I open one of these talking head threads up, I try not to laugh hysterically, and once again, here I am with Diet Coke all over my monitor. Fuck you!

Awesome post… and some of the replies… I have a meeting I’m nervous about this afternoon and y’all made me feel better about it. Thanks! :)

just a suggestion

when you see the talking head post. Put down the diet coke and start drinking monitor cleaner.

A lot of the movie is genius,

But the Black Knight scene is great.

And I did decide to leave it as is. The shot at South Carolina makes me laugh.

Further more

It says he pulls the trigger 6 more times and 7 new paint balls show up. Is Nielsen on a grassy knoll somewhere?

Just kidding (kinda). Great work as usual Mr. Vint.

You must stop relying on your shotgun, James

Probably more acceptable than my real surname

Since the surname is from the Irish side of the family. All the good German names are on my mom’s side.

I polished it off on an Aer Lingus flight to the Emerald Isle in 1998

Along with 4 mini wine bottles. (My row-mate was an Irishman who had a talent in buttering up the flight attendants.)
