DISQUS

OU_Ron · 7 months ago

I knew this would wind up on a fashion thread...

War_Eagle_Atlanta · 7 months ago

Beats a uniform thread...

OU_Ron · 7 months ago

Not if it's a cheerleader uniform thread...

Zac · 7 months ago

...with wet uniform shirts...or better yet, those net-type pull-away shirts...

OU_Ron · 7 months ago

No shirt Zac.......suspenders ;-)

Zac · 7 months ago

I think that depends upon what the straps cover, hmmm?

FanoftheGame · 7 months ago

I'll take what's behind curtain #3 (LSU)................:)

Clemson_Joe · 7 months ago

The guy in the middle looks like he's a few adult beverages away from one helluva night and an even better story.

OU_Ron · 7 months ago

I think there's another reason for him smiling.....other than owning a snuggie.

fosterkeats · 7 months ago

Where's that OU girl's left hand???

If they could make these out of the Sham Wow material, you could just sit there and uriniate and have no worries in the world...

OU_Ron · 7 months ago

I think that guy's definition of a snuggie will be a lot different after that photo shoot..

RazzMaTazz · 7 months ago

How long until summer camp?

The_Central_Scrutinizer · 7 months ago

Yeah, but can a Snuggie soak up an entire keg of beer like a sham-wow?

What a combination *that* would be.

gatorhippy · 7 months ago

More importantly...

Will the Sham Wow soak up hooker blood?

I guess not...

War_Eagle_Atlanta · 7 months ago

I guess he beat the crap out of her when he sobered up and realized he's paid one G for THAT...

AUtigerman · 7 months ago

BamaBorn · 7 months ago

Where I come from a guy would get a weggie for wearing one of those.

TigerEducated · 7 months ago

Where you come from, there seem to be more family vines than trees...But, I digress...

Bama_Babe · 7 months ago

My dad/2nd cousin hates these thangs...
But then he done seen the Auburn one and he wansta get one fer my grandmother/great aunt fer Mother's Day...or as we call it 'round these parts: Female Relative Day...

War_Eagle_Atlanta · 7 months ago

I've been dying to ask you Bama Babe, what do you wear under your snuggie?

Bama_Babe · 7 months ago

Nothi.............




Wouldn't you like to know, WEA...

;)

War_Eagle_Atlanta · 7 months ago

(big smile on face)

Zac · 7 months ago

WarEagle, I'm still trying to figure out how her dad is also her 2nd cousin.

Bama_Babe · 7 months ago

Well, Zac...

If someone is your parents first cousin, it makes them your second cousin.

So my joke was that my mother and father were first cousins...you know, the typical Alabama stereotype, right??

1Tomcat · 7 months ago

My parents are not as closely related as yours
Do you own one yet?

Zac · 7 months ago

And here wuz ah think'n it only applied to folks from Kentucky, Tennessee, & West "By-God" Virginia

OU_Ron · 7 months ago

Only TE can explain that...

Kevin @ Fanblogs · 7 months ago

Bawahahahaha!

BamaBorn · 7 months ago

Just a little curious TE. Even though you think you know more than God himself, how do you know where I come from?

Zac · 7 months ago

You couldn't leave it alone. No, you just had to ask, didn't ya. Now, he's gonna answer you, and it won't be short, and it won't be pretty, and won't have a friggen thing to do with this thread.

Go on ahead, TE, he asked for it; it's your turn.

BamaBorn · 7 months ago

Hey dude, you may tremble in fear waiting for TE's comments but not most of us.

Zac · 7 months ago

TE, why hast thow forsaken me. I'm getting big time "Bama-Bashed". (Sum-body even liked it.) And, my team don't even play em...

TigerEducated · 7 months ago

[TE to Alex Trabeck]: I'll take "Alabama Is For Idiots" for $1,000, Alex...

[Alex Trabeck]:The answer is, "Someone using 'BamaBorn' as their Fanblogs Username asking you why you think you know where they come from"...TE, you were first on that one...

[TE to Alex Trabeck]:What is the definition of irony, Alex?

[Alex Trabeck to TE]:That's right...TE, as only an idiot from Alabama would use a screen name of "BamaBorn", and then later ask you why you felt you like you knew where he was from...You remain in control of the board...

gatorhippy · 7 months ago

While your assumption could be correct, my phallical, maize-batter coated mystery meat on a stick friend...

There's a number of ways you could be wrong...

Dude could be a member of the Native American tribe that the state was named after but yet been born in an entirely different area of the country altogether...

Or...

Maybe his father is a member of the CHoF band Alabama...

Or...

Perhaps he came slip sliding into this world aboard the USS Alabama...

Or...

Possibly just been born in the state of Alabama while his family was visiting there from another state and he has never actually lived in Alabama nor has any familial connections there...

And BTW...

What you're referring to as irony isn't ironic at all...

Zac · 7 months ago

"...my phallical, maize-batter coated mystery meat on a stick friend..." Waaay too funny, GH; I'm still laughing.

As for another possibility, I was thinking more simply a non-resident student of the U of A, who may even have one or both parents who were rabid alumni, thus inspiring him(her?) to be so. In the words of Judy Tinuta, "It could happen..."

gatorhippy · 7 months ago

Right...

Or maybe he was a transfer from another school and became "born" again...

1Tomcat · 7 months ago

GH his mama could have been named Bama

gatorhippy · 7 months ago

He could also be an immigrant from Bama, Spain...

TigerEducated · 7 months ago

Well, I've never been to Spain...

TigerEducated · 7 months ago

Oh play me, some mountain music/

Porcine · 7 months ago

TampaGator · 7 months ago

GH:

1. Re. Irony: For proper use of the word "ironic", one should always begin with the Alanis Morrisette song...

(...in the process of deduction that is; it is afterall, a relatively decent song; just completeley off-base in its use of the word "ironic"...);

e.g.: isn't it ironic, that a song entitled "Isn't it Ironic", completely misuses the word "ironic"?

2. That said, none of your alternative explantations for "bamaborn" would explain the University of Alabama icon (i.e. Avatar) he used.

Hence "BamaBorn" (suggesting an abbreviation for "Alabama born & raised"--else, why the hell would it matter where he was born?), + U. of 'bama icon + comments on "...where I'm from..." = resonable grounds to conclude that BamaBorn is from the State of Alabama.

IMO, TE's deduction was well founded--particulary for the limited purpose of posting on a CFB cite, in jest.

Point for TE (though he's remains woefully in the red on several other fronts).


GO GATORS!!

gatorhippy · 7 months ago

Ummm, yeah...

Note the first line of my post...

And as a side note...

The fact that the majority of the situations in the song you're referring to are not ironic is exactly why the song was named so...

TampaGator · 7 months ago

GH:

Yeah, I saw the first line--so what? How's that change anything? TE's inference/assumption was not only well founded, it's the ONLY ONE that explains the bama icon. It's solid; the dude's either from Alabama, or busted for pretending to be from Alabama. Either way, TE called him on it (or called his bluff).

Re. your side note: I ain't buyin' it. I still think she was too cool for school, and she didn't really get "irony"--but she thought she did, and figured she'd pen a little diddy to show off her brilliant linguistic mastery, only to imortalize her ignorance on the matter, before the world...

...oh the irony.


GO GATORS!!

gatorhippy · 7 months ago

Yeah, I saw the first line--so what? How's that change anything?

Well...

It certainly changes my perception of your reading comprehension level given that I noted that our fried carnie treat friend was probably correct and then simply pointed out some ways he could be incorrect...

Which was intended to be humorous not a slight and not only TC and Zac picked up on but the Corndogger himself as well...

Sadly, it seems you needed it explained to you...

TE's inference/assumption was not only well founded, it's the ONLY ONE that explains the bama icon.

Not necessarily; as I pointed out above...

As well as TC & Zac pointed out other options as well...

And even though he uses a Bama logo as his icon it still doesn't necessarily mean that one of the other options I suggested could be why he chose to use the 'BamaBorn" moniker...

He might just be a huge Red Alage fan which is why the Bammerlogo is in there as well...

As far as the "irony" discussion goes...

If you would like to continue it, I'll more than happily head on over to the Open Thread and give you a lesson...

My roomate has one; he loves it.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't trust any product sold on TV unless it is pitched by Billy Mays.

But the Snuggie is priceless!

Clemson_Joe · 7 months ago

A few months ago, after drinking extensively the night before, I woke up to find myself the proud owner of 8 brand spanking new Shamwows. Those things are fantastic. I still don't know for sure where I bought them, but I'm glad I did.

Regan · 7 months ago

LOL, you serious? I had heard that they were far more Sham than Wow.

Clemson_Joe · 7 months ago

Yeah, I love 'em. I only use them for a few things though. I've washed my car with a few of them, and it does a fantastic job. I have also used it to wash dishes that I don't put in the dishwasher it it worked well for that too. My wife spilled some wine on the carpet and it did a good job of getting that up, although we still had to follow it up with some resolve.

Mostly though, non believers come over to my place and see them and start bashing them. So, usually I will fill up a glass with water, put one in it for a few seconds, and pull it out and the glass is completely dry.

On the downside, you really can't wash them. You can rinse them with water and wring them out, and then set it out to dry, but that's about it.

Ben Prather · 7 months ago

What do you think the OU chick is suggesting with that hand gesture????

It looks like Auburn has come up "short" yet again..................

GeauxTigers0107 · 7 months ago

And her other hand is hidden............somewhere.......... She could be verfying with the right what she's holding with the left...lmao!!!


Personally, Ron Popeil (sp?) is the undisputed king info-mercials! The Showtime Rotisserie ROCKS!

TigerEducated · 7 months ago

Ronco may have been the father of the modern Infomercial, but Billy Mays is the Michael Jordan of Infomercials...

Dude...Who else cut an ESPN commercial? I mean, talk about crossover appeal...

Having said that, Vince from Sham-Wow Fame is awesome...No one will EVER top the Slap Chop commercial...NO ONE...

I'll bet it took him all of one take for that bad boy, too...

GeauxTigers0107 · 7 months ago

TE:
I gotta agree with you on that. Billy Mays doing the ESPN commercials is hilarious. I think he even has one with the wife and kids and every one of them has the deep-black dyed beard...lol.

I skeptically (is that a word...lol) bought the Showtime Rotisserie years ago when it came out and used it twice. Not impressed. Plus the wife hated cleaning it because of all the parts. Just gave it to my Pops a month ago and he loves the damn thing...go figure.

As far as Vince;
Got a bud who bought the Sham-Wow and he says the only thing true about the product is the name...."Sham". Something about it not even being worthy of toilet paper...IDK.

I wanted the Miracle Blades for the longest time but the Showtime Rotisserie ruined me...until they had 'em in the mall during Christmas. I watched the guy demo the knives for half an hour and he did everything the guy on the commercial did so I bought a set. Them babies are still razor sharp after 5 years of heavy use.

GT We once had one of those things that slices and dices-worked pretty good on peppers & Onions etc etc- Didn't do too good with venison- blade was sharp, but those white stringy things kept getting wraped around the center-We have a proper meat grinder now-those were the days.

Tyler_Tech · 7 months ago

It could be slightly more complex like a Da Vinci painting, or her other hand could be wandering and she is trying to tell us something.....

Regan · 7 months ago

I agree...it's a conspiracy! :)

War_Eagle_Atlanta · 7 months ago

hahaha! I didn't notice that before.

GeauxTigers0107 · 7 months ago

LOL. Classic.

fosterkeats · 7 months ago

What would happen of you put one of these in one of Ron's dehydrators or rotisserie ovens???

War_Eagle_Atlanta · 7 months ago

My favorite Ronco and other TV-only products (none of which I've ever owned, BTW):

1) Mr. Microphone

2) Pocket fisherman

3) Ginsu knives

4) Bamboo steamer

5) Oriental wind chimes

6) Bammer Zapper

Okay, I made that last one up, but a guy can dream, right?

fosterkeats · 7 months ago

I had a Mr Microphone, a pocket fisherman & my parents bought the Ginsu knives...

We also had a fondue set...

War_Eagle_Atlanta · 7 months ago

The thing is a blanket that enables you to use the TV remote effortlessly. It couldn't be more perfect unless it had a built-in fridge stocked with beer and ordered pizza for you... :)

GeauxTigers0107 · 7 months ago

Apparently, several folks agree with you, as they are selling a butt-load of these things from what I hear.

"It couldn't be more perfect unless it had a built-in fridge stocked with beer and ordered pizza for you... :)"

A guy that wears the Snuggie does not drink beer and eat pizza. He drinks wine coolers and eats veggie burgers, IMO.

Wine coolers or Zima... :)

Were this on the "thong" thread (thilly ithn't it) I would at last understand why Bartles & James said "Thanx for your support."

gatorhippy · 7 months ago

I don't think there's much support goin' on from the looks of those...

I mean...

If it isn't still in the right places, it doesn't look like a lady could depend on Tee-Bows to keep it where it should be...

TampaGator · 7 months ago

Ya know how else we can tell this weener doesn't drink beer?

One of the chix is working the remote.

Seriously, what is wrong with this guy? In one pic he's sporting an Auburn snuggie, and in the other, he's rocking a Tide snuggie. This guy is seriously confused...

NMLSooner · 7 months ago

What's wrong with this guy? I believe it's called "Ge-in Payyyd"!

Regan · 7 months ago

I'm not sure, NML...I think you burst into flames if you switch from one to the other too quickly... :)

NMLSooner · 7 months ago

Let me think back to my early 20's. Single, decent looking, and someone wants to pay me good money to wear a Texas bathrobe backwards while sitting between two young attractive women....



I would have done it, and made the hook'em horns sign if they asked.

War_Eagle_Atlanta · 7 months ago

Just remember: pinky and index finger down--hook 'em Horns. Pinky and index finger UP--Ozzie!

gatorhippy · 7 months ago

Close...

The "devil" sign requires one to hold said fingers upright while pressing the the tips of the thumb, middle and ring finger together flatly and extended away from the palm...

War_Eagle_Atlanta · 7 months ago

I dunno. A lot of Ozzies extend the thumb out at a 90 degree angle from the rest of the digits. Maybe they're not doing it right...

I experimented with gang signs to represent Auburn, but all I came up with was fashioning the fingers to form a 'W' and an 'E', for War Eagle...

I'm so hip...

gatorhippy · 7 months ago

I think you (or they) are confusing it with the "Get Rad" or "Hang loose" motion used & originated by surfers, skaters, etc...

You'll see many folks flashing it with the middle and ring finger behind the thumb and rounded out from the palm...

That's from the Black Sabbath days when RJ Dio would make the sign at the end of the show with his guitar pick pinched back between the fingers and then flick it out into the crowd but ending the motion as I described above...

You'll also see a similiar sign made by the Illuminati (allegedly) in the fashion you're describing but with the middle and ring fingers pressed back against palm and covered with the thumb...

However, the way I'm speaking of actually will give you a "goat head" look...

And yes...

You're one of the hippest guys I know...

BTW...

If you ever wanted to start a Fab Four cover band with some of your Plainsmen friends there in Atlanta; I've already got a name picked out for you...

The WEAtls...

1Tomcat · 7 months ago

The handsigns are kind of a Texas thing
Texas Tech,Texas A&M,TCU and Baylor all have hand signs- do any SEC or ACC teams have them?

NMLSooner · 7 months ago

OSU does the "pistols firing" thing that it pretty close to TT's "guns up". For OU just extend the index finger to the sky, #1!

Zac · 7 months ago

CJ, I think it's more like, "What would you do for a Klondike bar", except in this case it's "We'll put you naked between two naked foxes, and all ya gotz to do is wear one oh deez." That, or like NMLS said, he's get'n paid a bunch...or he's gay and isn't get'n paid as much...
