Meeting People Is Easy...

I was going to post this last night, but when there's a game on that's in six overtimes, you can't really be writing things on the internet. Sidebar: I'm a well known Syracuse hater, but I'm an even more well known UConn hater. So well done, you orange assholes. Good luck against West Virginia...Pitt fail blog.

Anyways, Friday is pretty awesome. I don't know about you all, but I'm pretty fired up that we've made it through another week without me writing about some Steeler being photographed with his dick out.

Some people on this week's panel wanted me to share some links with you. I've inserted those where applicable.

That's what she said.

Anyways, all rise for this week's honorable panel...Presiding this week are...

1. Dan Gigler
2. Tiny350z
3. Marc
4. Vern ~ Sick beret on this guy, though.
5. Steve
6. Jon
7. bigTC
8. Noah
9. Doug ~ Will make a Photoshop pro out of me if it kills him.
10. Ben ~ I actually love this song. Biz Markie for life!
11. John Woods
12. Neena
13. Grumpy
14. Keith
15. Nate
16. Matt ~ He's 100% right about this song. Awful.
17. Domski ~ Check it out, the FAIL Blog finally got him.
18. Some Douche ~ Frankly, I'm sick of this guy's shit. He will be getting banned from this site later.

As you can see, we have one new face on the panel this week. That'd be my man, Grumpy - proprietor of the blog, Grumpy Old Dog. You've probably seen me link to it a couple of times this week. If you haven't already, I'd strongly suggest you check it out. It's a real Solid (with a capital "S" apparently) read.

Anyways, I'm still more or less comatose, so why don't you just move right on to the grids. Yes, gridS. I'm incapable of excluding anyone, so in an attempt to contain the size of these beasts, I split the grid in two this week. I was feeling kind of crazy.

That's how I do's it.

And........go.

I'm just gonna go inject myself with adrenaline now. Coffee is for pussies.

I'll be right back.

Talk amongst yourselves.

I'll give you a topic - If you were a hot dog, would you eat yourself? (see 0:42)

I know I would (if I wasn't a vegetarian, of course).

Meeting People Is Easy...

There comes a point in the evening/early morning after which no one can be expected to be funny. Last night, that point came shortly after 1 AM, when I was just about finished with all the dirty work, but hadn't added my answers to the MPIE grid yet.

Conversely, there is also a point in the morning before which no one can be expected to be funny. And today we still haven't reached that point yet.

Plus, all photoshop and no play makes Cotter wanna cut himself...

So I guess the net message = If it's mildly humorous, witty prose you want right now, might I suggest you start a blog and write some of your own.

'Cause I got nothing.

Anyways, here's this week's panel...

1. Dan Gigler
2. tiny350z
3. Marc
4. Vern
5. Don
6. Joey Porter's Pit Bulls
7. Notgomu
8. Sean
9. Noah
10. Ben
11. Doug
12. Tecmo
13. Nate
14. El Jefe

You know what to do...

Now, where the hell is my coffee?

Obligatory Footer - If you haven't already, become a fan of OFTOT on Facebook, join the blog network and follow me on Twitter. Or don't. Your choice, really.

Meeting People Is Easy...

So I just had a random thought - How'd you like to be the guy who invented Viagra? Like how do you present that to a bunch of people?

"Uh, so I've engineered this revolutionary drug that will, uh, you know, make your, you know...dick...hard."

Seriously, that had to be pretty entertaining for everyone involved. I know it is when I think about it in my head.

Anyways, so hey guys. What's happening?

It's Friday, and you know what that means. First, it means we've successfully navigated a work week without even having the Steelers to look forward to on Sunday. Second, it also means, what else, but Meeting People Is Easy.

This week I've assembled what I believe to be a top notch panel once again. They are, in order of appearance...

1. meech.one ~ Purveyor of fine Philadelphia musings at The Fightins

2. Greg Wyshynski ~ Am I crazy or did Puck Daddy actually agree with Sean Avery on something...?

3. The Pensblog ~ Just go click on the "Right Here" link. That's all I'm gonna say...

4. Hickey ~ Maybe I should've swapped his avatar for Dan's...?

5. Dan Gigler ~ 16 pieces of Bacon? Well, I mean, it WAS a stressful game...

6. Keith ~ The Legend...of Vincent Tremblay...

7. Doubt About It ~ This is how at least one blog post a week should be written...

8. Matt ~ That's tonight, 10 PM @ Huckleberry in Williamsburg, jagoffs...

9. Marc ~ I was wondering why he didn't get his picks in last week, then he told me he had no computer. I figured that was a pretty good excuse...

10. Lori ~ I'm not even going to tell you why she hasn't been blogging this week...

11. me ~ My blog. My rules.

And as per tradition and image size, click below to enlarge...


Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go not blog now. For at least the next five minutes. You can probably expect some more later on. But I can't make any guarantees. I hear they're having cake around here at some point today. You know what that means? Food coma...

Meeting People Is Easy...

Ok, so due to the hour and 15 minutes it took me to get to work today, witty banter will be at a minimum here.

It's Friday, and keeping with tradition, it's time for Meeting People is Easy. As usual, I've circled the wagons and solicited comic relief from seven of this site's finest friends and commenters. And also, there's me.

So without further ado, your expert panel is as follows...
1. Dan Gigler ~ "Gigs" for short.
2. Jup ~ Absolutely loves to sit in traffic.
3. Christy ~ Beer bong virgin.
4. Silky Johnson ~ Perplexed by Tony Hunt.
5. Notgomu ~ Feels Cotter's North-Jersey-living pain.
6. Steelbiathan ~ Master of live blog commenting.
7. Domski ~ Master of $1 fruit parfaits.
8. Me ~ Your humble narrator.

I don't know about you all, but I'm psyched for Friday. Today got off to a shitty start. But there's plenty of time to turn that around. 5:30 cannot come too soon. Here's to some post-work beverages!

Cheers friends!

PS - Just so you're all aware, I ran into Busta Rhymes last night on 13th St. and parlayed the encounter into a membership in Flipmode Squad. Git of mah block!

Meeting People Is Easy...

You know what? That old Meeting People Is Easy format was dog shit. Always asking the same types of dumb questions. Does anyone really want to know what my favorite Madonna song is? This is a Steelers blog.

So after my Sports Illustrated failed to be delivered to my new private residence, I thought, it's time to make these questions Steelers relevant. It may have been the best idea I've had all week. Nay, all year.

Accordingly, below you'll find all your favorite OFTOT characters, but this time, you'll get a chance to actually learn some interesting info about each.

Let us begin.

This week's expert panel is...
1. Dan Gigler ~ Recently coined the phrase, "Practice Hero"
2. Jup ~ [JOOP] - An old friend returneth
3. Don ~ Ask for him in Shaler
4. Tobiathan ~ Master of the Great Outdoors
5. Notgomu ~ Not-gomu...so he's not, gomu?
6. Random Asshole ~ It's funny because it's true
7. Domski ~ Click me
8. Me ~ Click me

I can only safely assume that if you're still with me, neither of the links above offended you. So with that in mind, read on for the real thing. And as usual, if anything looks fuzzy or hard to read below, click the image to enlarge...


PS - Question #1 was inspired by OFTOT friend, Christy, who was lucky enough to have met POLAMALU(!) at Applebee's while on her way back from training camp. Silverback was there too!! So all you [redacted]s who knocked Applebee's above, I think Christy has full license to kick you straight in the balls. Because she met Polamalu, and you did not. Either way, here's the visual evidence...


So in closing, I'd just like to ask - what's with all the commercials during those games last night? Boy, it's a good thing the NFL's new fan Conduct Policy doesn't apply in my living room. Oh, the profanity.

Don't forget, Sunday training camp with OFTOT and PSAMP. I'll be the one in the oversized Casey Hampton Jersey. It's gonna be a bloodbath...

Meeting People Is Easy...

Good morning Steeler brethren!

Today's a fine day to get to know some of OFTOT's most vocal and prominent voices, wouldn't you say?

Drumroll please...

This week's expert panel is as follows:
1. Dan Gigler ~ Kind of a big deal at Post-Gazette's Blog 'n' Gold
2. The Starter Wife ~ An HDTV made all the difference
3. Tobiathan ~ Not dead, contrary to popular belief
4. Silky Johnson ~ Ask him how the weather is
5. Marc ~ The Bishop
6. Notgomu ~ Probably can't even read this right now
7. Random Asshole ~ Avatar says it all
8. Domski ~ OFTOT Editor-At-Large

As usual, if you're having any trouble reading the ridiculousness below, click to enlarge...


Nice little Friday, huh?
