Sometimes media guides can be too informative

sc --

You always come through.

 

I've been a bit busy and didn't see tjos thread until now.

I HATE THOSE CUTSIE QUESTIONS and refuse to use them in a media guide. Everybody's favorite hoops player is Kobe or Lebron, the best movie is whatever is hot at the time of printing and every black athlete wants to meet MLK. There is almost no useful info.

Except of course for the southern grooming habits of a softball team. Hell. . . they should have asked. . . "Do you play the girl or the guy?"

About 20 years ago, one of the Louisiana schools did their women's hoops guide with a Playboy theme, even having the team photo be a centerfold in the middle of the book. That didn't get anybody fired so I wonder what would. (besides of course to referring to Richard Lewis as being a drunk).

Keith tabbed this school's SID Office as being the Worst Persons in the World on tonight's Countdown.

This has to be bad to take the award from Bill O'Reilly.

I wish I could put that on my resume.

 

hey SID, isn't it time for you to change your side sig?

 

About 20 years ago, a Notre Dame football media guide had listings of the players' favorite movies and stars. A bunch were porn-related. The SID office had no idea until reporters (and perhaps fans) clued them in.

 

Incidentally, the same question was used in their women's basketball media guide.

 

Putting green is a nice look down there. You never go wrong with a landing strip, either. Hitler's mustache just looks weird.

 

I believe the primary options are Bermuda triangle, landing strip, Hitler's mustache and hardwood floor.

 

I know a hockey player whose girlfriend shaved his first initial down there for the playoffs.

Worked, too.

Thankfully, he wasn't named Quentin.

 

Gives new meaning to the term playoff beard.

 

My wife is of the belief that shaving will be overwhelmingly common among females from this generation forward. That is, the trend will never be, ahem, bushy again.

She thinks that way because of hygiene. I hope she's right.
