OT: You Call a Press Conference, What's Your Announcement?
I have decided to forgo my job(s), wife, and kids to enter the NBA Draft in whenever the draft is. I have completed my GED, which from what I understand is the equivalent of completing a year of skewl at Kentuky while playing ball for Coach Cal. I'm currently looking for an agent, and I have decided that Magnus should be that agent. And he should wear orange so I can call him Agent Orange. If I'm drafted in the lottery I will contribute all of my salary to new MGoServers for Brian.
Thanks I'll hang up and listen.
*What childish fancies do you lads still have??
Mod edit: Changed the title because there probably will be a pretty big announcement sometime today. Sorry if that kills part of the joke, but even joke titles need to be somewhat informative. JGB.

I'm not sure that I would title a thread "OT: Major Announcment" today unless there is some real news, other than the bars opening earlier than normal for someone.
Edit: With the change in title, my objections are mediated.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:55 PM ^
some expectation of a big announcement of some sort today? Honest question...outside of the Te'o stuff I can't think of anything. Perhaps I am what the French would call 'les incompetent.'
January 17th, 2013 at 4:25 PM ^
Buzz, your girlfriend, WOOF!
January 17th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
if you get a big contract can you make sure some of that money goes to reviving the old voting system? upvotes and downvotes are so unsatifying these days.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
I know, I would neg the shit out of this thread if it still counted.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:05 PM ^
Self neg. Much respect.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
What number will you wear so I can get a jersey customized?
January 17th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
#4,032
January 17th, 2013 at 2:10 PM ^
No way! I'm #4,037!
January 17th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
I think you messed up the title of the thread. It's supposed to be OT: What Are You Drinking Today
January 17th, 2013 at 3:51 PM ^
Apparently he started a little earlier than the rest of us.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:09 PM ^
I want to pick up a 2050 version of Gray's Sports Almanac from a bookshop in Hill Valley so I can win all the MGoContests.
Edit: That made sense when the OP originally was asking what childish fantasies did us lads have. Now, not so much.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:12 PM ^
right before me probably killing the intended joke. :(
January 17th, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
What announcement? Is Kozan finally done with Vision Quest? Is Demar Dorsey finally ready to say "O LET DO IT, in Ann Arbor?" Will Dileo finally announce that he's Taco Pants and has been running on his knees this whole time? You can't be all Tom-VH-Cryptic and then leave us hanging....
January 17th, 2013 at 2:57 PM ^
I don't have any inside information, especially nothing that would be great news (sadly). I'm pretty sure there's at least one Te'o related press conference scheduled for the next couple hours, though, and that qualifies as a "big announcement" judging by the number of comments and views the threads have gotten. HOWEVA...
I am now officially able to announce that I've begun eating a late lunch of leftover spaghetti along with a bagel I've spread butter on, sprinkled garlic powder over, and covered in taco cheese. I've been authorized to share with MGoBoard at large that this meal is, in fact, delicious.
January 17th, 2013 at 3:06 PM ^
Did you melt the cheese? It's so much better when you melt it. How did you manage to cook with a bum knee? I would imagine standing would be a chore, no?
January 17th, 2013 at 3:13 PM ^
I put the butter and garlic on, put it in the oven on broiler, take them out and sprinkle the shredded cheese on and put them back in until its melted.
The knee is more or less fine. My doctor doesn't want me using the crutches or anything, and aisde from being stiff and sometimes sore it's not bad. My problem is how weak my left quad is; I thought I could be on a stationary bike by late next week, but between not running for nearly three months now and the surgery, even walking to and from class or inside Target is enough to make me tired.
January 17th, 2013 at 3:17 PM ^
Target makes me tired, as well. I find that most of them smell vaguely of B.O. and urine. Odd.
January 17th, 2013 at 5:35 PM ^
like the Paris Metro.
Bonus factoid: The final "t" in Target is silent. Blame the French for that, too.
January 20th, 2013 at 1:37 PM ^
Only certain stops. For example there's a reason that one on the 10 line is called "Jussieu" cause it is juicy down there. And something about Chatelet-Les Halles makes you feel like you're approaching the bowels of hell--as in literally--as in where hell's dumps come from.
January 17th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
I only wish I had an excuse for not running in the past three months (also about the time-frame I've been "inactive")..
January 17th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
You are my straightman, Butterfield.
Saw this a few weeks ago, didn't know if it would run afoul of the OT rules of posting for New Years Day...and Chait is apropos today, since he got a shout out on the front page.

January 17th, 2013 at 3:11 PM ^
Eeeesh...Chait is hit or miss for me and this is a miss. I know (hope) he's trying to be funny, but I didn't even muster a chuckle.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:06 PM ^
The comment that I directed to you earlier today couldn't be more relevant:
I lub u, too, guy who I usually can't figure out but sometimes find funny.

January 17th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
are you trying to tell me you think this is funny, or are you trying to tell me you don't understand? Quit confusing me. I have to work on guardingi DWade
January 17th, 2013 at 2:14 PM ^
Mostly just telling you I love you. I'm concerned that I don't say it often enough.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
Can I be your offical Manti Te'o fake girlfriend of the week? Please???
January 17th, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 2:09 PM ^
I hope that you don't get drafted by the Bucks. Good luck.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
Boo this man
January 17th, 2013 at 2:14 PM ^
I would rather see your announcement rather than Treadwell's. His twitter is heavily in favor of Ole' Miss. Fucken #hottytoddy, what the hell? They gave him a nickname already. Quon Tron.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
I'm "upvoting" this...for reasons I can't quite identify...
January 17th, 2013 at 2:18 PM ^
I'm "downvoting" this for...the same reasons.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
So that means you do want the job?
January 17th, 2013 at 2:29 PM ^
Give me a cheeseburger and/or a chicken quesadilla and I'll take it!
January 17th, 2013 at 2:33 PM ^
SOLD!!!!
January 17th, 2013 at 2:42 PM ^
You name your agency, The Melmet Agency!
January 17th, 2013 at 2:58 PM ^
Done and done.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:32 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
I don't do press conferences anymore. I'm sick of getting the same stupid questions over and over. I DIDN'T MURDER THOSE HOOKERS!
January 17th, 2013 at 2:42 PM ^
Allegedly.
January 17th, 2013 at 5:15 PM ^
i'm craig james bitch!
January 17th, 2013 at 2:37 PM ^
This is the most confusing thread that I have ever read! Maybe I should rest my head and go to bed. I don't understand what you just said.
January 17th, 2013 at 6:20 PM ^
Are you Dr. Seuss?
January 17th, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
Well thanks for noticing! You're the drunkest brewiest mom I've ever read.
January 17th, 2013 at 3:34 PM ^
May be the weakest reply I have ever read.
January 17th, 2013 at 3:55 PM ^
As Andrew Jackson Jihad's agent I must ask you to cease and desist or I will send my friend Cub Swanson to your place of residence.
Here is Cub:
And while I cannot guarantee exactly what he will do to you, I'm pretty sure he will do something like this:
or this:
to your person.
