A few years back I had a sinus infection that went on for months. It was bad enough that the doctor sent me for a chest x-ray to make sure my lungs were OK. Took months of heavy-duty antibiotics, but we finally got rid of it.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The University of Alabama mascot is the Crimson Tide (which, frankly, always sounded like it was related to menstruation rather than algae [I'm assuming they mean red tide from nasty algae, and I have no idea why that would be a good mascot,
Technically, the mascot is Big Al, the elephant. But, back in the 1950's, a sportscaster said that Alabama's defensive line looked like a deadly crimson tide breaking over the field. It stuck. Roll Tide.

So the teams are the Crimson Tide, and the mascot is Big Al the elephant? It would be kind of hard to embody an actual crimson tide on the sidelines without a lot of trouble, mess, and cleanup.
When I went to Miami (Ohio), we were the Redskins (which was changed to the Redhawks in the late 90s/early 2000s, after I graduated). But the actual big, lumbering stuffed-animal mascot on the sidelines was a big stupid red bird thing nicknamed Tom O'Hawk (because, see, that way it was still tied to our it's-not-racist-it's-a-TRIBUTE mascot).
When they changed from Redskins to Redhawks, I always wanted them to stay the Redskins...but make the mascot a little redskin potato. That would have been pure 100% awesome.

That's been suggested for the Washington team ... with no results.

Perzactly.

That would be totally awesome! Opposing teams could fry the redskins and dip 'em in ketchup.
My BIL went to Delta State, home of the fighting okras. Best. Mascot. Ever.

Like Georgetown is the Hoyas, but the mascot is Jack the Bulldog.

I have fond memories of sticking oranges on pikes when we had games against the Orangemen.

This is potentially the cutest thing every! Also, nom.
Jesse- back on the Louis CK thing-- you might reject him from your OKCupid because he dates younger women because they are "more optimistic" or something like that. It is actually a funny bit.

Someone around here had recommended a hotel in London (maybe to sj?) - does anyone know what that was?

Oh, sure -- he would totally reject me! But would I reject him??? Still unclear.
