Comment contest winners
For some reason, this week seems to stand out more than most, especially with the comments. I dunno, maybe that column on whether the Jets could just as easily be 5-3 with Pennington instead of Favre got things going.
Whatever.
In any case, another great week of commenting from the troops. It was three Glauber Nation originals who led the way, although there were certainly more that qualified. Here's what we liked:
Black N Gold taunting Boland about yet another horrifying Browns collapse against the Broncos, this time responding to Boland's complaint that Steelers fans should leave Browns fans along because of the Super Bowl trophy mismatch:
"I actually lived in the 216 for a couple of years in the early-mid eighties. Really wasn't such a bad place. It's just sooooooo much fun to rub the Steelers success in Browns fans faces. Of course we weren't doing that from 1957-1965 when you all had Jim Brown. :-)
One of the best stories I have about the rivalry was how one day I was ragging on young priest I knew from Cleveland about the rivalry. He shared a story with me about how, before he entered the seminary, he and a couple friends were drinking in Cleveland one night and decided to make the 2+ hour drive from Cleveland to Pittsburgh just so they could urinate on the side of then Three Rivers Stadium and immediately drove back to Cleveland."
BBiB! in response to our posting of an unidentified picture of a buxom young lady who is associated with Reggie Bush. We offer the picture here, just so you can get the drift of his comment ... yeah, that's the ticket. Actually, Big Al made us post it.
"Kim Kardashian."
Next comment from BBiB!
"... or he really likes eating at Arby's."
And last, but not least, Islander505 offering one of his vintage riffs about ... well ... everything. It started off as a response to Eagles coach Andy Reid suggesting fans for Sunday night's game against the Giants would get "a running start" to lubricate their emotions.
"Okay....here's the REAL Audacity of Dope.I have a favorite bartender in 505land that is plus 5k on my "Giants Picks" this year. (Disclaimer-I NEVER "play" for or against my favorite teams)
Andy "Either my wife or my dog finishes my 3:20AM Grand Slam" Reid is dead on with his call this Sunday.
It's a no play game....from either side. The "Running Start" is kinda like showing up at Koots on Spenard around 215AM on a Tuesday night in 1982 with a handful of cash in search of the perfect one night stand knowing it's you versus (I know you hate that word Glauber) 15-20 overworked and cash horny 6 week at a time slope workers timbering up on the tree stumps with 5-6 "snow" bunnies cruising the perimeter in search of potential cab rides home in the morning. Everyone makes "a deal" with Rocky the Bartender in the privacy of the men's room and and brings his best game to the bar.
Properly equipped....the odds are in your favor with the bunnies....but there are no guarantees....
Unless you promise to stop at the 24 hour Spenard Liquor Store for a pint of Chivas on the way home..
Let's see what Reid brings to Lincoln Field on Sunday.
(Just know that if Reid loses, he's likely to get an official looking notice with a Kutztown postmark to report to the nearest cotton field at 7AM the morning after Barack's coronation..........for orientation) .
Wow....so much to digest there.
Just some meandering thoughts....from two time zones away."

Getting a comment award over Islanders 505 in Glaubers blog is as likely as getting in a daily rant over Bob Buscavage. I dont know what he has over you, or Buscavage has over Eichenberger, but I want me some!!
Maybe we need to do pic of the week too?
My vote is Kardashian... though a different pic of hers would have been better...
Or how about the Glauber insane posting of the week?
Chad would have had same record as Farve with Jets?
And maybe Islanders needs his own Islander505 moment of the week... maybe a nice friday night send off from him to start our weekends off right.
LT...
100% in agreement on the Kardashian assessment.
This is NOT her best picture.
As such I cast my vote for the smokin hot PC Skin with the expressive attitude on the power rankings entry.

"I dont know what he has over you......."
Richie....let's just call it getting full credit for Best going missing this week.
And if I can continue to work this magic....the next time anyone sees The Watchdog it will be on the White House lawn watering a cherry tree.....at the end of a leash held by the Obama girls.
It was an across the aisle effort between myself, PETA and Obama. .
Obama wanted something that was papered and had some pedigree.
PETA wanted Obama to select a needy animal from a desolate location.
I simply pointed out that The Watchdog wrote for Newsday, graduated from Cornell, is flat broke, and worked in a basement.
VOILA!!!
Mission Accomplished
CORRECTION.... (Where's the edit last comment icon? I despise afterthoughts just as you hit the enter key).
"I simply pointed out that The Watchdog wrote for Newsday, graduated from Cornell, is flat broke, and worked in a basement."
Should read...
I simply pointed out that The Watchdog wrote for Newsday, graduated from Cornell, has two daughters in need of the right to free college, and worked in a basement.
Oh great, now with the edit you just won comment of the week again!! You're like Dion Sanders, an absolute superstar on both Glaubers and Davidoff's blog!! (Sorry, saying you are Dion is meaner than the Jeremy Shockey butt comment).
I actually think Davidoff kidnapped Best since Ken started writing 100 posts a day when Best left.
"(Sorry, saying you are Dion is meaner than the Jeremy Shockey butt comment)"
Nah....
Word association with Deion is a good thing.
Cuz an occasional bong water aperitif laced with a dash of neon results in a psychologocal glow that rivals the look on Alyssa Milano's demeanor when she's trapped in a locker room full of towel draped professional athletes preparing to enter a community shower.
I think we better take accounts of the times posted when we give 505 awards. I figger anything after 18:00 hrs means he's in the tank already and when the time is below 8:00 we know for sure he's bombed. I just give him credit for being able to spell the words right and somewhat make sense in that condition.
Bob I would like to thank you personally for posting Miss Kardashian's picture again. As I look out on the field of Jets-Rams about to take place in 29 minutes its nice to have a very good distraction.
All of this is further proof that Best has it right: pictures of attractive ladies really do work. Sigh.
Richie G:
Hang in, buddy. If I'm not mistaken, you've had a Comment Contest Winner award. If you keep Islander505 away from booze and hallucinogenics (difficult task, I know), you'd have a chance to beat him out once in a while.
Big Al:
We aim to please.
Sandy...Sandy....Sandy...
Now that you and your legion of character assassins have rode Palin hard and sent her up to Alaska wet you're gonna turn your smear campaigns on l'il ole ME???
Bring it on big fella......just know in advance that there are no chronologic restrictions on my habits.
(Have I ever mentioned that I have no VICES? Just a coupla bad habits?)
I firmly believe in the policy of equal time.
Just be careful that you don't come across to me as some kind of Cindefella.
I'd hate to think that your feminine hygiene product turns into a pumpkin at midnight.
Actually there are restrictions to your vices--they are called your liver and kidneys.
I am not a woman (for the second time today).:(
Sandy.....re-read my comment....
I said HABITS...not vices.
I was not referring to you as a woman either (cindefella?)
nor was I doing that in the "anon" comment on the other blog entry. (hope you didn't think that was me!!).
But thanks for the Behavioral General's Warning.
I'll keep it in mind.
This Nation (carrie) never has a shortage of temperance controlling units.
Just gotta figure out a way to keep you folks out of power.
We failed this time around.
All Hail the Coming Obamalypse.
Right Sandy?
I'd hate to think that your feminine hygiene product turns into a pumpkin at midnight.
enuff said--sober up or get thee to today's happy hour. No wonder why the rest of the blogs on Newsday have banned you. Get over the election, think of it as another valiant effort by the Al Arbourless Islanders (currently the worst team in hockey) close but no cigarette. Maybe if McCain had chosen a Vice Presidential candidate that was qualified he would have won. I would have voted for him and you wouldn't be so miserable. Right??
Sandy Sandy Sandy....
Fair enough....
Nuff said....
Thanks for playing.
ok, still pals in a long distance sense even if you root for the Islanders. :)
I'm just now sobering up from the two day party which ensued the moment I realized that I was the comment contest winner over the Gonzo Poster Himself, I505!!!
And to think, my post was actually about a place that 'ol 505 used to live (As if anyone ever "lived" in Cleveland).
As a consolation prize, I've shipped a mix of Peyote and Baileys with a goats milk chaser to your favorite watering hole in Alb-e-quirke. Just make sure you share it with some of those "I'm with stupid" hostesses who can never tell if you're being serious or not.
As for me, I'm tapping the next keg of Stella and drowning my sorrows over the fact that Bruce Arians ever made the two hour drive from Cleveland to Pittsburgh. Do you think we Stillers fans could convince him to apply for the K.C. position? That job just has to be open after Herms enormous brain fart with 23 seconds left on the regulation clock right?
ROFLMAO...
I don't think there's a Mormon Missionary's chance in Rome that I'm gonna be able to recover from BnG's howitzer blast.
BRILLIANT....OUTSTANDING......COMMENT OF THE QUARTER...POSSIBLY THE YEAR...
IMHO.
(I just hope you had the decency to overnight that package, you cheap arse "left my wallet in the car" piker who stuck me with the dinner tab after quietly offering his spouse and the two gold fish he won on the penny toss at the State Fair as collateral).
"Left my wallet in the rental car????" Nah, I knew you'd been away from NY long enough that I wouldn't need too much "Three Card Monty" mojo to get out of paying for two dinners.
I figured correctly that all I had to do was INSIST on paying for all three checks (Hell I was gonna end up with the check for myself and the Mrs anyway) and your testosterone would kick in (What's left of it anyway, it's not like Scotch or Wine, it's more like a leaky crankcase, the more time it sits there unused the more it just drains out on the floor leaving a messy stain),Anyway, with the Mrs. batting her eyes and my inimitable charm, I probably should have asked you to cover the hotel, car rental and airfare as well - Don't cry pauper I know you've got connections :-)
Anyway, given that you picked the most expensive establishment for dinner in the 505 (What "Mel's Diner"- East was closing early that night?) I figured you were good for it.
Now the next time you catch that tin can with wings back up here to NY from chili-pepper 'ville I'll have to take you out to my favorite hot dog truck at the edge of the Hauppauge Park and Ride.
Keep me posted.
Good Day. As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death. Help me! There is an urgent need for sites: Wachovia online banking login. I found only this - mortgage refinance rates. Sheikh hamdan bin rashid al maktoum minister of state - Property development for residential, commercial and. With best wishes :-(, Amiel from Vanuatu.
