Icarus is a tool
Icarus // Mar 17, 2008 at 8:57 pm
What’s your point, rat bastard?
Thanks Erick.
rugby fan // Mar 17, 2008 at 9:21 pm
This thread dares to dream.
Icarus:
Mind telling us how many marbles you have?
rugby fan // Mar 17, 2008 at 9:22 pm
And by “us” I mean the children.
Icarus // Mar 17, 2008 at 9:23 pm
1001 marbles, and counting.
You back among the living after Saturday Rugby?
Voice of the Profit // Mar 17, 2008 at 9:36 pm
I’m in.
Buzz Brockway // Mar 17, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Thanks for setting this up Icarus.
You can go ahead and call me “interim Congressman Buzz Brockway.”
Icarus // Mar 17, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Well then, at least I am almost finished with an interim Congressman clone in my basement.
Demonbeck // Mar 18, 2008 at 7:58 am
Did rugby go to Savannah this weekend for the children?
Icarus // Mar 18, 2008 at 8:50 pm
There are a lot of you still missing from the tourney.
Must I remind you, again, that this is for the children.
In addition, it’s also for the title of Interim Congressman from GA-10th Congressional District. See the commissioner’s note for details.

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster.
I (unfortunately) live in Clayton County–I bleed red in a deep blue county.
Love the commentary here and thought it was high time I got in on the discussion.
Bill Simon // Mar 18, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Poker, I understand. Craps, I understand. Basketball “brackets” I don’t get.
They didn’t have that course in my college curriculum. I realize though that it was required at UGA to graduate.
Icarus // Mar 18, 2008 at 11:20 pm
You think WE are the basketball school?
HaHaHaHaHaHaHa.
Gambling, however, we understand.
I don’t know crap about the round ball, which is why I occasionally win this thing when there’s a year where all the “experts” are shaking their heads saying “no one could have predicted this upset…”
Sign up, make some random picks, possibly be the hero we all want you to be (eventually, at something).

Will someone please type the link so that I might click it to proceed with the ID number? I got confused traveling to the liquor store in my new car and once I got home, well, the http address kept eluding me.

I did not see any rules allowing us to drink adult beverages on Sunday while watching the games. I heard you and Rugby are working out a compromise with Sonny. How is it going?
Icarus // Mar 19, 2008 at 6:37 am
Sonny says as long as you’re willing to get in your car and drive, preferably to a baseball game, or ride in a limo like all normal folks do, you’re allowed to drink as much as you want on Sunday.
John Konop // Mar 19, 2008 at 6:42 am
Icarus
Are you renting a limo for all of us in the pool on Sunday? Also are you driving, Rugby or Sonny?
Icarus // Mar 19, 2008 at 7:08 am
Sonny’s flying the helicopter.
Rugby and I know better.
Mark Rountree // Mar 19, 2008 at 10:42 am
Hello Blue. If you are so red in a blue, why bluemcduff?
Be careful down there in Clayton. You are in one messed up county now…
bluemcduff // Mar 19, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Hi Mark–I just tried it as an autogenerated nom de plume and it just grew on me–I just like the color but not the ideology it’s now tied to–remember prior to 2000 Republicans were identified with blue in the political maps.
I take the mcduff part based upon a variation of “Casey at the Bat” from the pitcher’s point of view–the pitcher’s name was McDuff.
If you want to read the story–it’s in Joy in Mudville: Big Book of Baseball Humor.
But don’t get me wrong–I cannot stand living in Clayton as I’d rather be in Fayette and I’m moving away as soon as I am able to.
Icarus // Mar 19, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Bluemcduff,
Aim higher.
Icarus // Mar 20, 2008 at 7:25 am
Just a couple of hours left folks.
Miss out on this and you’re next chance at random glory will be to enter the race for U.S. Senate as a democrat.
Icarus // Mar 20, 2008 at 9:05 am
Demonbeck’s in, which means the cool kids are now playing.
Rugby, Jace, Indy, Bill, Andre, Chris (rat bastard), Chris (hardcore non-rat-bastard), Decaturguy, Holly, Spacey, Erick: I’m calling y’all out.
2 hours left.
Icarus // Mar 20, 2008 at 9:52 am
Rugby is in. Cheers.
Just over an hour left for the rest of you slackers.
and for those of you that played in the fantasy league, I’m finally ready to trade Tom Brady.
rugby fan // Mar 20, 2008 at 10:08 am
I thought about choosing the random picks option but a BYU national championship seems as likely as, well, a Florida State title.
Icarus // Mar 20, 2008 at 10:42 am
28 years is a long time, Rugby.
Especially when your head coach can’t wait until 4:15 rolls around so he can eat supper.
John Konop // Mar 20, 2008 at 11:20 am
Icarus
Is Sonny playing?
Icarus // Mar 20, 2008 at 12:04 pm
You never know who is behind some of these names John.
rugby fan // Mar 20, 2008 at 12:58 pm
John:
I am–erm.

If Rugyby fan wins I will start watching ESPN 12 and catch all that exciting Rugby action!
Demonbeck // Mar 31, 2008 at 8:08 am
General Knowledge’s picks may have let him down, but his privates are always up to the task!
Icarus // Apr 8, 2008 at 8:25 am

With that out of the way, UGA’s spring game over, and the Zoo that is the GA General Assembly done, it is now a long, slow, painful wait until kickoff in late August.
Doug Deal // Apr 8, 2008 at 8:49 am
You think that I was going to let you have that?!
John Konop // Apr 8, 2008 at 10:14 am
I almost became a rugby fan.
Icarus // Apr 8, 2008 at 10:19 am
Just start drinking more JK, you’ll get there.
The Driving Buddha // Apr 8, 2008 at 7:20 pm
I would like to thank several people as I accept the office of interim Congressman from the 10th Congressional District. First off, I must thank the voters of the 10th. I am sure that my residency in the 6th Congressional District will fade from memory as I serve the 10th proudly.
There are others that I would like to thank that were major players at the table. Kansas Jayhawk Mario Chalmers for making that clutch three-pointer with nine seconds left in regulation. Memphis Tiger Chris Douglas-Roberts for going one-for-four on three throws in the last sixteen seconds.
Both proving that for some reason – when someone is jumping up and down in front of you while both of you are running - that it is easier to put a ball in a basket at that time then those times when there is with no one in front of you and everyone is standing still.
Now, that March Madness is over, our thoughts can turn to unification amongst all of us who have been divided over 64… Nay, 65 teams over these past three weeks. Because, basically its five months till college football starts!
I would like to announce the date, time, and location of my inauguration. It will be at……………

I would like to personally condemn the masses.
My picks were selected by clicking popular choices.
John Konop // Apr 8, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Do we have a problem swearing in The Driving Buddha when Broun has not?
rugby fan // Apr 8, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Probably.

What happened in 44 AD?
Icarus // Apr 8, 2008 at 7:58 pm
The commissioner wasn’t thanked after installing you as a puppet Congressman.
Minus 100 points.
John Konop // Apr 8, 2008 at 8:07 pm
YEAR 44 A. D.
The Conquest by Claudius1
The conquest of Britain by the Romans in A.D. 44 and the immediately succeeding years is described in a number of contemporary accounts. The Greek historian Dio Cassius, though he lived more than a hundred years after the occurrences, had access to many records that are now lost, and he gives a specially full account of the early years of the conquest.
rugby fan // Apr 8, 2008 at 8:28 pm
And in 52 AD?
Give us a few previews too.
