I retract my statement, even though I was kidding. You're absolutely right about the "more punch" thing in the way you wrote it. But I so loved the "plus a tiger" that I was compelled to respond - however inartfully. As a college football fan, I was trying to come up with some appropriate response that referenced the Colorado buffalo or the Texas longhorn - or even your Air Force falcon - but I obviously failed. So, Geaux Tigers!
Full disclosure: I'm an OU fan and also a KU fan because I grew up in Kansas - and also a college mascot fan because I attended Pittsburg State University for a while and their wonderful mascot is the "Gorilla." As far as I know, that is the only college team with that mascot. Unfortunately, unlike your tiger, we could't figure out how to wrangle up a live gorilla on game day.
By the way, KU's new coach might be a fellow you've heard of...
I have indeed. I love Coach O, but I do still love Les. Prepare yourself for some bonkers football - Les is the reason for my Tigers fandom (in addition to all the Mikes). My beloved did graduate work at LSU and followed the team, and he kept showing me clips of plays that were one step up from "ok, you shove the ball under your jersey and pretend to be a pregnant lady while the rest of us..." He's a lot of fun.
He also has serious difficulties managing the clock, so... be aware.
Oh, trust me, the Big 12 already knows about Les. In his first year at Oklahoma State in 2001 - the year after OU won the National Championship - OSU had a losing season but upset the 4th-ranked Sooners in Norman.
The next year they upset the 3rd-ranked Sooners in Stillwater. The next year, OU was ranked #1 and OSU was 14th. Before the game, Les uttered what might be the most famous quote in Big 12 history:
"Next Saturday, two teams are going to play. One is maybe the best team in college football - the other is a darn good football team. We’re going to play to find out which is.which.” Spoiler alert: we found out: OU won 52-9. That was the Jason White, Tommie Harris crew that lost to LSU in the championship game.
And yes, since his tenure at LSU, I’m well aware of his weird end-of-game calls. Needless to say, there was a lot of speculation in the Big 12 this summer about whether Les would embrace the wide-open offenses that most teams use here. Stay tuned - it should be entertaining at least...
English landlord in Ireland 1845: Reports of a great potato famine are highly exaggerated. I haven't missed a meal yet. No need to curtail the profitable grain exports. All a hoax. At any rate there are too many illegal Irish on this island.
If you don't want to hear him, the videos have captioning too. That's the only way I can watch these - especially Trump's.
He used to wear the most punchable bowties.
Thought it had more punch that way.

Not sure about Norway but Sweden is very socialist... Funny that's the example they give
Geaux Tigers indeeeeeed!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It came to me just as I was about to hit that Post button, and made me giggle so hard.

Pretty much exposes their real deal, which is all about skin color. They already live with way more socialism than they'd ever care to know.

Feed them canned clams and lime jello sardine molds.
He just believes in white separatism, the tired old euphemism for white supremacy.
better late than never, I guess
