WOM 5 - Required Reading

I thought it might be prudent for us to read Chuck's new book, what with WOM 5 coming up and the Election in November.  Too bad Huckabee didn't last longer or we might have seen more of Chuck this fall.

Brandon, Sorry I missed your birthday post, Happy Birthday.

Seth, you fell to Cookeville High.  I hope your boys avenge you one day.

Kevin, I'm using Chrome so that people like you will think better of me.

Justin, I already have my insurance with State Farm.  My father-in-law is an agent.  If there's a falling out, I'll come to you.

Ross, I enjoyed the premiere of the Office.  Each time I see Jim I think of you.

Andrew, how many days left?  Congratulations, again.  The strangest thing about the whole deal will be that you will go into the hospital as two and leave as three.

Aaron, index funds, broadly diversified.

Adam, Thanks for eating with me at Chili's that night.  I passed the CFP exam!

I'm all for mixing things up with a format change.  Maybe we could create individual profiles for each of us, or just use the old profiles from the headhunters site.

Just seeing if your young men have made any progress.  I was thinking that junior high games are on Thursdays.

Poll

Who is your favorite wrestler managed by "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart?

A few facts about Jimmy:
-Born in Memphis, TN
-His billed eight is the same as his ACTUAL height. I think that's the first time thats ever happened in wrestling.
-He wrote the entrance music for HBK, Hulk Hogan, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka

For me, Bret Hart gets the vote. You just can't get better than the Excellence of Execution.

on another note, I should have thought of this:

How LOTR should have ended...

There's a bunch of these on YouTube. The one on Beowulf is pretty good if you've seen the movie.

96-0

Men,

Since none of you have called or written to see how the Hawkins football season was going, I thought I would let you know.  Really this is a request for ideas or just to bring back some of the Headhunter magic.  Hawkins in it's first 3 games has lost by a combined score of 96-0.  

Knox Doss 22-0
Rucker Stewart 36-0
Shafer 38-0

We did play better this week despite the score.  The other team this week was up 30-0 in the 4th quarter and called a fake punt with their starters in and our second team in, which includes a kid that comes up to my belly button and weighs 70 lbs.  It is hard as a coach when at the end of a game you hear a mom yell "I can coach better than these coaches."  

I am in need of some motivational quotes and ideas to get the player pumped up.  At the bottom of the post I have left you with 2 pictures for motivation.  One the runner - up State Championship trophy from my senior year (yes, I did have 13 tackles) and two a picture of our glory days as the Headhunters.  Thank you for your help.

UNtil THen,

Google Chrome

Are any of you using Google's Chrome browser? I thought it may not be that great, but I'm really impressed with it. It is fast, simple, and it isn't as much of a beast for your computer to run like Firefox and IE have become.



My only problem so far has been that it tends to hang when streaming video. Other than for that, it is my new weapon of choice for surfing.

You can try it here.

Fire & Brimstone Tunes

This is my favorite "hell" song.  I really love the creepy bubbles.

State of the Blog

Fellow Ednabloggers:

What has become of this blog? I know that it times past that interest on the blog has ebbed and flowed. Babies have been born, jobs have changed, and many other things can take away our time spent here on the blog.

Gentlemen, for shame! We have been cheating on this blog with, dare I say it, blogs of another kind. We have forsaken the original in the name of our own independent sites. Are all the other spin-off blogs becoming more important in our lives? May it never be! Let us not forget our first love!

Viva la Edna Blog!

P.S. Check out the new post on mine and Justin's blog.
