Had to go back to work this afternoon because my boss had stupidly scheduled a basketball game and remote broadcasts from the Biathlon Jr. World Championships at the same time, both sponsored events, so we had to move the high school game.

Had to record the game for delayed playback. Very surprised that the announcer's halftime guest was Herschel Walker. Apparently he's schumpting some local (white) lady and was in the area.

By "in the area" I mean, "What the hell is a person of this calibre doing talking in my headset during a high school basketball game in the ass-end of arctic neverland?"

Anyway, he said wassup and I was doing a good job.

Biathlon Jr?

Kids + Guns + Skis

Sounds like a winner.

Damn, I had a vision of six year olds being knocked on their ass by the recoil.

No, but I'm pretty sure some places have kids events with BB Guns. Ain't that sweet. I think they shoot at shovels stuck in the ground.

How much weight does Herschel's polical endosement carry over there?

I mean, Billy Cannon was convicted of counterfeiting and some people around here would still eat his turds. I love the South.

About as much as yours or mine....except that in the Dem Primary, I guess it would carry more weight..I am sure you can figure out why

Hersh owns restaurants, I believe. I think that's his own personal chicken.

I was unaware of this.

And Dalen, you obviously haven't seen Church's in some time. These look more like the breaded wings one would get at Hooters..(yelch!) along with something that doesn't wash off with soap and water (or a wife, and then some other chick who ain't yo wife, but likes to smoke DAT METH and you have a kid with her even though she got that other kid from some other dude)

Not that I KNOW anyone that happened to :roll:

Can't remember what businesses he told the announcer he owns. Couple of companies, anyway. I know he had some kind of health drink out. 15% of his proceeds go to charities, though, so he says.

Yeah, I have seen that Health Drink..I think my Dawgs/Cowboys maniac uncle has a few bottles.

So, he was a pretty cool guy, Phil?

Well, the extent of his convo with me was "hey dawg, wassup? Good job there back at the station." Then the play-by-play guy interviewed him during halftime. After he said "catch ya later."

That was it on my end. Though, I guess the ex-husband of the woman he's dating right now is chief physician for these Biathlon games in Presque Isle this weekend. Looks like an example of "famous guy's dating my ex? Okay with me."

I was told the station general manager and owner had dinner with Walker Friday night. Not bad for a dinky little business located in the middle of Mirkwood Forest.

I'm not much of a stargazer, star-fawner, though. Too much crabby Yankee in my persona.
