BHGP BRACKET MADNESS ROUND 1: J LEMAN VS. DMBMEG
This is what we're voting on. Today: the current Mr. J Leman vs. the future Mrs. M Leman!
PROS: Jesus Christ, look at him - chiseled jaw, carefree grin, and hair like Cheryl Tiegs. Patron saint of BHGP.
Oh, and he's the best linebacker in the BXI.
CONS: Illini - nuff said.

PROS: One of our most "prolific" commenters. This Iowa alumna has a crazed smile, hair like a mushroom cloud, and smells like Fruity Pebbles. Also, she's startlingly effective at derailing comment threads.
CONS: Blogger. A penchant for violence and petty theft. Drinks.

that picture...
is going to haunt me for the rest of my life, isn't it?
I mean, J Leman's hair just looks so.....good.
And even if you did...
...what, would you ride your new bike over here and kick my ass or something?

Incidentally, I voted
for Meg because... well, fuck Illinois, that's why. Plus, as a former swimmer, I can't vote against The Swim Cap.

what, am I a communist?
I'm from fucking Minnesota for christ's sake, AND I HAVE RED WHITE AND BLUE UNDERWEAR.
That's better than a fucking tie.
compared to J
we are all communists. even bruce springsteen.

Minnesota eh?
That's no way to get a vote on a Hawkeye blog, dmb.

i figured
but i want to assure you that's not my point.
if tom petty was matched up against dylan, i'd have to vote dylan....doesn't mean damn the torpedoes isn't one of the best albums of all time. not that you are tom petty, i'm just trying to backpeddle a little bit....
and it all honesty, if i was matched up against J i would vote for his a a second.

don't you do it
Don't you start fact slinging! There's no place for that here.

You know
I think what we're seeing here is the ever popular "everyone loves to see the favorite get their asses handed to them" phenomenon. It's time for an uprising to show that the tie, while it may have won our hearts, is now just another ho hum gee isn't it great.
Also, you say "A penchant for violence and petty theft. Drinks." like it's a bad thing. Hell, I woke up 10 minutes ago and I feel like some violence and drinking. The fact that the Hawks are getting killed, the BTN and fucking comcast may have reached a deal, but they couldn't bother to do it before the tournament, and the radio link that was posted isn't working for me is clearly coincidental.
Throw my enraged, yet sadly sober, vote to meg!

Bullshit
Not that I don't love dmbmeg and her incredible thread derailing ability, but how the hell is J Leman losing? I mean just look at him. The flowing hair, that mischievous smile, those rippling muscles....
Shit where was I? Oh, right, BULLSHIT. Clearly there is some sort voter fraud taking place. I demand a recount! I will take this shit to the Supreme Court if I have to! Captain America will not be denied!

adam
i've already called my lawyer....
dmbmeg, while i disagree with you winning this poll, i will defend to the death your right to get drunk and celebrate the victory.

Yeah
Damn Meg for trying to have fun with this!
Sign up for an ID and use a (fake internet) name or shut the fuck up, douchebag.
Had I known
You were a swimmer, I would have voted for you a long, long time ago. God bless you and your tight-ass (and ass!) swimsuit.
by jason3kidd on Mar 13, 2008 1:43 PM CDT reply actions
Well, shit
That may have ruined it. Swimmers = hot; traithaletes = crazy. I'll give you a pass, for the goggles, but you're walking a thin line.
by jason3kidd on Mar 13, 2008 1:48 PM CDT up reply actions
Actually...
I was going with the open mouth. Inappropriate? Yeah, probably, but what's the fun in that?
by jason3kidd on Mar 13, 2008 2:06 PM CDT up reply actions
Not to be argumentative, but
Isn't that plain easier with the tongue out?

those teeth and uh, a scheduling problem
I can't seem to find any crowns. Good living girl, evidently. Not even any evident tobacco stains. What's up with that?
What comes to mind, however, is a certain, recent Weinstein Company picture:

Well, my enlightened contributions and competition seems to be ill-timed. I'm in the Caribbean next week. You really gonna let CBI guys get to the next round by default?
Or do we get the right side of the bracket tomorrow?
::40-Second Bellanca
hang in there, father time
You'll get the hang of this "linking" thing eventually.
Brackets continue tomorrow.

you may resent that remark...
I knew I shouldn't try to link to obscurish folklorish subjects such as vuhvay dentata.
Life was a lot better when all I had was the Bourne shell and vi. I wasn't quite so twisted in my allusions.
You know damned well why
Have you seen what they've done to YouTube? I can't even watch Frank Stallone sing "Peace In Our Life"* without being told all about the Trilateral Commission or whatever.
*check out the epic mullet at 2:11.
They said my hair looks like a mushroom cloud
Nuclear bombs > mullets in terms of American authenticity.
Well...
...sort of. But that's kinda' like saying humans are apes. We are and we aren't, ya know?

(grumble)
Dude, we are apes.
BA in Anthropology, '02.
Don't insult the chimps/orangutans/gorillas by comparing them to Bellanca.
(Sorry Bellanca, he totally set me up for that. It was too easy)
Clearly I'm too allusive.
I must read too many books and scripts.
The movie, Teeth? Huh? Dentata Vagina? God. And you guys say I'm obtuse? Christ, I'm vulgar and obvious.
This is like arguing with the editor of Mad Magazine the Des Moines Register.
:40-Second Bellanca
I'm not arguing with you
Oh silly me. Why didn't I get a poorly worded comment about a obscure movie reference from a guy with a Theaurus next to him.
I just think your comments are pompous and needlessly complicated. I also don't like it inferred that I am stupid because you read more "books and scripts" than me (how's that copy of Horton Hears a Who going?).
QUICK! EVERYONE! LOOK HOW SMART BELLANCA IS! HE USES THE WORD 'OBTUSE' AND HE ISN'T EVEN TALKING ABOUT AN ANGLE OVER 90 DEGREES!
There's an obtuse lady in our office
Seriously, she must weight 350 pounds, easy.

J Leman would put his goggles on correctly
People who wear their goggles upside down are America-hating terrorist fascoislamist radicalist communists.
