Do you know your Cruz sister? Take a moment to recall the only good thing about Full House. It really is National High-Five Day. And McShay really isn’t coming back.

I wrote about National High Five day last year. If you can get through my gripes about the length of an episode of Entourage (I was so gay last year!) it might be worth a read.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Websense is blocking it so I have no idea what it is, but Exploding Unicorn is one of the best blog names I’ve ever heard.

Good thing i dont buy my pot in Boca Raton, fucking A
April 17th, 2008 at 3:23 PM
irish beat me to it. That and Dick Trickle should always meet in the final of dirty name tournaments.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Irish, that name will be stuck in my head til I die. I believe he was on the same baseball Rookie card as Cal Ripken, no?
April 17th, 2008 at 3:24 PM
yea, westbrook jacked stephen davis up and davis wasnt a soft mofo either.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:25 PM
This Michael Westbrook? (turn away, maggs)
April 17th, 2008 at 3:25 PM
Any truth to the rumor that the Steve McNair press conference was postponed because he pulled a hamstring walking up to the podium?
April 17th, 2008 at 3:25 PM
There was a NH state Rep named Dick Sweat. At a rally one year, his wife got up on stage and exclaimed, “I love Dick!”.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:27 PM
Good linking dick
April 17th, 2008 at 3:27 PM
@CRM–dooooood, that Turtle guy is hilarious
/shoots self in the face
April 17th, 2008 at 3:29 PM
Fantastic.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:29 PM
The day I saw Penelope topless in Vanilla Sky was a good day.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:30 PM
whitlock…if you are reading…I love you…but today’s column was real weak…you pretty much poo poo’d Herschel Walker’s mental illness to make a divorce joke about your “friend”…as wacky as Herschel’s story sounds, if you have met or worked with people with that type of shit going on you would take it a little more seriously.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:30 PM
McNair came to the NFL the same year as Eric Zeier. I still, to this day, think Eric Zeier was a better QB…just stuck on a shitty Cleveland team that gave him no chance. I know, I’m an idiot. But it’s my opinion.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:31 PM
YES and YES. I am a HUGE Monica fan. So hot.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:32 PM
your opinion is wrong.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:32 PM
ATL..McNair led a team 2 yards (yes yards not feet he rolled forward) from a Super Bowl…Eric Zeier led 2 guy 2 feet to the Slurpee machine…Please.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:35 PM
@ clown
asshole
@TBL
How dare you do a dirty names post and not include my favorite new recruit.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:35 PM
i think i may have to declare Lori Loughlin hotter than both Cruz girls
April 17th, 2008 at 3:35 PM
Okay, okay…maybe Zeier wasn’t better than McNair, but he was a lot better than he had the opportunity to show. And RWH–I have no idea what you’re trying to say. Eric Zeier is a gas station attendant? I don’t follow…
April 17th, 2008 at 3:35 PM
Who can forget Reds pitching coach Dick Pole?
April 17th, 2008 at 3:36 PM
What was the deal with the media constantly calling Steve McNair tough? How is a guy tough who got injured and missed time just about every year? I always found him to be highly overrated.
Oh and Michael Westbrook is a douchebag.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:37 PM
OT: They just put Jose Valverde in, when down by 7, in the bottom of the 8th. Josh Byrnes is a genius.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:39 PM
How come when I clicked on that link, an article on Jesse and The Rippers didn’t appear? You must’ve screwed up the link, TBL…
April 17th, 2008 at 3:39 PM
Aunt Becky is still hot.
McNair should have retired 2 years ago. Great quarterback not a hall of famer by any means but a damn good quarterback.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:40 PM
Mags…when i first read that on mgoblog i couldnt believe that name was for real. i hope he becomes the starter just to hear his name repeated by musburger ad nauseum.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:40 PM

April 17th, 2008 at 3:43 PM
No mention of this guy?
April 17th, 2008 at 3:43 PM
I want me a Cruz sandwich.
Is Lori Loughlin Faith Hill’s twin? She’s actually improved since Full House. Yikes.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:43 PM
@ CRM – Entourage is pretty cool, but not as cool as popped collars, mandanas and roofies
April 17th, 2008 at 3:43 PM
There is/was a volleyball player from IUPUI named Amanda Phister. She was featured on the cover of their media guide.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:44 PM
@412
Doesn’t hurt that he looks like Sloth from Goonies.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:44 PM
Met Rx World’s Strongest Man competitor Phil Pfister
April 17th, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Phister? I hardly know here.
ba-dump-bump
April 17th, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Since TBL linked me to People I had to see this.
TBL needs to add a “Douchebag” tag to this round-up now.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:48 PM
ATL…7-11 counter attendant was what I was gunning for but gas station works…regardless…he was given a chance..he sucked
April 17th, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Here’s another belt-high fastball for ya, 412:
Local highschool track chick (names always in the paper): Amanda Boner
April 17th, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Thanks, Lumberg…I’ll let that one pass.
Here’s a softball for anyone who wants it.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:50 PM
@consultant
Who needs Amanda Boner?
April 17th, 2008 at 3:51 PM
Mags…are you saying she has a collection of dildii? or that she knows a chick who owns a strap-on?
April 17th, 2008 at 3:54 PM
lived in Boca Raton for 5 years. You wouldn’t believe how often this kind of stuff happens. I bet ya this happened in East Boca, around Dixie Hwy and Camino Real.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Lori Loughlin Now > Lori Loughlin in Rad > Lori Loughlin in Full House
Rad:
A hometown kid on his BMX.
Against the best in the world.
At Helltrack… the head is on!
April 17th, 2008 at 3:56 PM
or the “Heat” is on. Head is cool, too though. I like head.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:56 PM
nope, i was wrong, about 3 miles away behind the mall where people are being murdered!
April 17th, 2008 at 3:57 PM
This name killed me back in the day when dude changed it:
Trout Fishing In America. (its at the bottom)
Dont know why that always stayed with me
April 17th, 2008 at 3:59 PM
@spence: Has that guy committed to UM yet? If he’s any good, maybe we should steal another one away.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:00 PM
Finally, 412. You’ve been MIA with witty retorts lately. Are you having that not-so-fresh feeling lately?
April 17th, 2008 at 4:01 PM
Those MMA girls are nice.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:01 PM
Nick, stealing recruits is not the gentlemanly way of doing things.
/God
April 17th, 2008 at 4:02 PM
swear on my life, my dad worked with a guy named Sterling Weiner.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:02 PM
Is anyone else’s lasting memory of Michael Westbrook the time he jacked Stephen Davis on the sideline?
No. My memory of him will always be him allowing my Giants to tie the game against Washington and not lose. Thanks Mike.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:04 PM
@osu fans
Awful cocky for a bunch of losers.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:07 PM
@Nick – I’m swimmin’. Old man Leland is bustin’ my hump over these reports. If I don’t get ‘em done by nine, I’m toast..

April 17th, 2008 at 4:09 PM
Chin up, maggs, the luckeyes aren’t the only ones that steal recruits.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:10 PM
Magglio, ya gotta get to the game to become a loser.

April 17th, 2008 at 4:11 PM
@412: What’s in the briefcase?
April 17th, 2008 at 4:13 PM
Whoever said they wanted a Cruz sandwich, here you go!
April 17th, 2008 at 4:13 PM

April 17th, 2008 at 4:13 PM
atl took the words out of my mouth. While Aunt Becky was certainly a babe, she was but a tag-a-long to the non-stop poon train that was Jesse and the Rippers. It was no coincidence, considering they freaking rocked. Listen to this and just try to stay in your seat:

And don’t even get me started on Joey Gladstone. WELL BLOW ME DOWN.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:17 PM
cut it out, sean jean.
I will say “Full House” was a staple in my afternoon college viewing (still is, to some degree) and it totally shits on saved by the bell.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:20 PM
@Nick: you’ve got to be joking. Full House over Saved by the Bell is blasphemy !
April 17th, 2008 at 4:20 PM
No love for Boy Meets World? He was a Phillies fan!
April 17th, 2008 at 4:28 PM
How can you not love the ZACH ATTACK!!!
April 17th, 2008 at 4:28 PM
@Gonzo: Major love.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Saved by the Bell >>> Full House.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Joe Tiller is a whiny bitch that will always lead a mediocre program.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Zach Attack brought the pain, no doubt, but Jesse and the Rippers would shit down their throat and then bust out a sweet Beach Boys harmony on their decaying corpses.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:37 PM
David Silver’s rapping was greater than all.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:41 PM
Also, I would do some horribly offensive things to either Cruz sister.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:49 PM
helltrack was serious…
April 17th, 2008 at 5:02 PM
Don’t forget Silver spinning the discs at the Peach Pit After Dark…
