Pardon the Pun

Sorry about the lack of posts but I just regained consciousness from a Nyquil-induced coma. Sweet Linclon's mullet that stuff is wicked. I have never spent time in a Native American sweat lodge but after basking in all of Nyquil’s goodness I am pretty certain those little green pills are the equivalent. But on to more important matters …

I have a dilemma that maybe you can help me with it. I am playing co-ed softball and I am trying to come up with a team name. There are three finalists and would like to know which one is your favorite.

  • Ambushed Paddington – This term has been mentioned a few times here but I have it linked it in case you don’t remember.
  • Scared Hitless – A pun on the phrase scared shitless.
  • With Ourselves – So if you someone says “Who do you play this week?” the person’s response would be “We play With Ourselves.”

And let’s keep the fun rolling. Here is your 30 Rock quote of the day:

Jack: Steven's good man he's on partner track at Dewey and he's a Black.

Liz: A black that's offensive.

Jack: No, no. That's his name. Stephen Black... good family. Remarkable people the Black's, musical, very atheletic, not very good swimmers. Again I'm talking about the family. Black is African-American though.

Liz: Well I don't care about that.

  1. With Ourselves--it's a perfect name. And not so obvious.

    Nyquil is liquid evil. I hallucenate on that shit. Don't take it unless I am near death. Crazy ass dreams from it too.

  6. How about the name "Nads"? Then when people cheer you on from the sidelines, they can shout out, "Go Nads!". Hahahaha...or maybe that's just me. Also, it's reassuring to know I'm not the only person who gets high off cough medicine.

  8. I going to have to throw my vote in for Scared Hitless. I once played on a team called "The Untouchables", and I think that meant we never touched home plate.
    And believe it or not, my brain bowl team in high school was called "The Nads", simply so our rallying cry could be "Go Nads!". When we actually won, they changed our name to "The Nas" on the school's announcements.

  9. Yes, "With Ourselves" is the name. You've got it wrong in your post though as "With Yourselves". That wouldn't work quite as well.

    As for the 30 Rock quote, it starts out funny, but I don't understand why she says she doesn't care about that. Am I stupid? What doesn't she care about? Is that the point? Bleh, this is probably why I don't watch the show.

    Great, so now you fix your error, and I look like a tool for pointing it out because now it's not there and blogger doesn't allow people to edit their own comments. thanks a lot mrshife, thanks a lot.

    oh, and no your comment didn't come across as mean-spirited, but since you asked, that makes me think that you did mean it as mean-spirited, so now i'm confused.

  19. I'm sorry I missed this! I would have gone with "With Ourselves." Makes for quite a better pun/joke. Even more so if the person saying it, doesn't get it!!!! :D
