Tick...Tick...Tick...Tick...

What's that sound?

It's Devan Dumas, of course.



Following throwing multiple elbows v. MSU, Dumas was suspended indefinitely. I guess the Forhead thought nine days was indefinite enough to teach the hot-headed JC transfer guard a lesson...Uh, maybe it wasn't.

I didn't watch the entire IU game, just caught pieces of it. But, I saw Dumas, both in the first and second half nearly blow his top and come to blows with members of the Badgers squad.

Let me see- MSU's tough defense frustrated him, then Ryan's UW squad got him hot under the collar; he should be completely fine versus Kramer, LewJack, JJ and co, right?

Tick...Tick...Tick...Tick...

Come for the sideboobs, stay for the psychoanalysis....Boiled Sports.

I think that's a pretty astute prediction.

Now if only a member of the Paint Crew had a sign with the IU pitchfork reading "Hotheads Live Here".

Didja ever notice how in every clock or watch ad, or in a store that sells clocks or watches, the timepieces are ALWAYS set to 10:10 AM? Even on BOMBS, it appears!

And do you know why? Because, according to market research, that gives the appearance of "happiness." Maybe because it simulates a smile? I don't know... but that's your Uncle J's Did You Know of the day.

Biolersports.com looks a lot like JoeCartoon.com. Go check it out and look at any of the redneck stuff on that site. Priceless.

My fave part of boilersports.com is when you click on the Sampson part:

"oh...oh...um, no I never liked him."

My least favorite part is that it's only one letter off of our name.

Did you see this blog post by ole Terry?

Surprised to see.....
1) so many IU fans saying they respect Painter and the team he's built
2) So much hatred for Illinois' treatment of Gordon when it was completely warranted.

This response was by far the best....

"I don't like this question - this is the wrong year to ask. It's akin to asking a starving man on a street corner whether he'd prefer Filet Mignon, or Caviar and then kicking sand in his face saying 'Well that's all you're going to get.' The only difference is we are going to get the sand kicked in our face TWICE."

Didn't you hear that Dumes has a sick kid? That makes it all okay, according to Bob Kravitz.

Speaking of sideboobs, what ever happened to that component of this site? Too much time spent in trenchant analysis, too little time spent in the gutter, methinks.

You guys either need girlfriends, or need to get fatter...the sideboob thing is J's segment. I only like Tim's sideboobs.

Setting the clock/watch hands at 10:10 isn't just for a smile, it's also to frame the manufacturer's name or logo.

I'm looking forward to seeing Hummel at the free throw line by himself tomorrow.

A girlfriend and a wife? Too much work.

說起這位明英宗朱祁鎮 真是好有一比:在北京高峰時酒店經紀段開車:生不完的氣。

先說年號問題,明朝皇帝在位時間再長, 酒店兼差年號也只有一個,惟獨他特殊,在位總共不過十五年,年號卻有兩個,前一個叫正統,後一個叫天順。倒不是因為他非要搞特權,兩個年號之間, 禮服店是由一大堆可氣的事串起來的。

先說正統朝,差不多是地球酒店打工人都知道的,這麼多的忠良幹才他不信任,偏寵信一個教書先生出身的太監王振, 一幹閹党把國家禍害得烏煙瘴氣。後來瓦剌犯邊,忠臣良將的苦勸不聽,偏聽死太監攛掇,非要御駕親徵, 合法酒店經紀帶著幾十萬人牛氣哄哄出了長城,按說既然親徵你就好好 打啊,他不,走到半道又後悔了,連敵人影 酒店工作都沒見著就撤兵,撤兵麼撤得快點啊,跑還沒跑成,讓人家圍在土木堡包了餃子,稀裏糊塗一場 酒店上班混戰,幾十萬大軍全死 光,連本人也當了俘虜。丟人到如此,實在可氣。

英宗被抓到蒙古高原上去啃生羊肉了, 酒店兼職爛賬總要有人收拾。皇帝讓人綁了,敵人打到家門口了,總不成學宋朝 來個衣冠南渡吧!還好喝酒 有他親弟弟給他收拾,弟弟朱祁鈺繼承帝位,改年號為景泰,可氣的正統朝總算結束了。景泰帝信用 酒店PT良臣于謙,成功組織北京保衛戰打垮敵 人,再運用外交壓力,逼得酒店喝酒 瓦剌把英宗放回來當太上皇,總算不用學宋徽宗那樣客死他鄉。折騰半天,祖宗江山差點丟了不說 禮服酒店,皇位也折騰沒了。這樣的鬧劇,怪不 得別人。

雖是傻事敗事一籮筐,但傻人總算有傻福,雖說皇位沒了, 台北酒店經紀
命還是保住了,回來舒舒服服過太上皇的日子倒也 不交際應酬 錯,可他不消停,拉幫結派培植私人勢力,幾年後趁著弟弟病重搞了場“奪門之變”。奪粉味 回了皇位不說,上臺第一件事就是殺掉了功臣于謙。並把當初北京保衛戰 的功臣們來了個大清洗,掌握朝政大權的都是徐有貞、石亨、曹吉祥等一幫姦險小人。雖然過了沒幾年,這幾個人也被明英宗清算,下獄的下獄(石亨),充軍的充 軍(徐有貞) 寒假打工,被殺的被殺(曹吉祥),可明朝的政治氣象,還是一片烏煙瘴氣。

皇位奪回來了,自然就要改年號。於是,明英宗 兼差改年號為天順。從正統年到天順年,打敗仗,殺忠良,寵小人,亂國家,儘是他辦的敗事,每每讀史到此,不知有多少人氣得直哆嗦。

可正統朝的事畢竟年頭遠了,真正給後 暑假打工世攢下麻煩的,是天順朝。

“天順”麼,按字面意思,自然有風調雨順的意思。 打工從這個意義上說,“天順”朝時代的明朝,運氣還真不 壞,別的且不說,單說綁過明英宗票的瓦剌,那在土木堡創下擊敗明朝幾十萬大軍,活捉明朝皇帝偉業的瓦剌首領也先,沒死在大對頭明朝手裏,倒在內戰中被一刀 砍死。到了天順朝時期,瓦剌又和鄰居韃靼打個不停,因此,雖然少了良將於謙,但終天順一朝的邊 酒店境形勢,還算是太平無事。
