Meeting People Is Easy...

So, every week I do this whole intro thing, in which I say a bunch of stuff that doesn't matter. And really it's mostly just filler.

I mean, if there are new panelists, it makes sense to introduce them, because, you know, maybe you're not as familiar with their work as you are with that of the MPIE regulars. But when it's just the All-Star cast, I think that work's already been done several times over.

Anyways, as you will see, this week's panel is...
1. Neena
2. Tiny350z
3. Marc
4. Vern
5. Lori
6. John Woods
7. Grumpy
8. Steve
9. Ladi Izz
10. laclips
11. Doug
12. Nate
13. Matt
14. Sean
15. Noah
16. Hey, what's up?

Once it gets up over like 14, I feel like I should split it into two different photoshops. But when I was doing this at 1AM last night, I didn't quite have the good judgment or the foresight to realize that. Actually, I didn't even realize until just now that there were 16 people on this week's panel.

Clearly I'm well aware of life...

In any case, I've written my filler, introduced the panel, and made jokes at my own expense, which means now you should just read the actual questions and answers.

I dare you to salvage more than 10% of your brain cells by the time you're done.

Oh yeah, and Lori sent me this video that goes with her Favorite Song of the Moment...


And...GO!

Now, just for the hell of it, since I got my hands on some pictures from the Steelers workouts...


Ziggy Hood is all business.


"You see, Bruce. That's how you take down a motherf*#@er."


As usual, Jeff Reed took this shit real seriously...where did he even find a construction helmet? ...let's hope in Ben's locker. HEYO!


Pictures of everybody wearing helmets except Ben.

And finally...

GO PENS!!

See you at Foley's for Game 7!

Meeting People Is Easy...

Best thing about that Penn State-USC Rose Bowl yesterday? The Blue Band's Queen medley of Bohemian Rhapsody, Bicycle Race, and probably some other awesome tunes that I didn't get to hear because ABC went to commercial. Otherwise, I'll be forgetting the rest of that abomination by the end of the day. Screw you, Pac-10.

Anyways, welcome to 2009!

New Year, New Panel.

In no particular order, accompanied by audio of their "most played song" of 2008, they are...

1. Ladi Izz ~

2. Vern ~ Here you go...click on OMG

3. Sean ~

4. Shawn K ~

5. Lori ~ I cannot be relied upon to pick one of these. Choose your own adventure. Unless Lori has recommendations?

6. Doug ~

7. Noah ~ I don't wanna pick the wrong version here either. But you can check it out, here.

8. Don ~

9. Marc ~

10. The Immortal Silky Johnson ~
PS - had to go with a live version because Universal is super douchey and won't let me embed any of their artists' music. Weak. Also, Silky, your resolution is unrealistic. But I applaud the effort.

11. My Dad ~ YouTube has no answer for this one. I guess y'all will just have to download it to check it out...

12. Me ...
#1 =
#2 =
[I recommend not listening to #2 at work, or if you have any dangerous objects nearby, or around small children...and not because of the lyrics]

As always, click to enlarge...

And if you haven't perused OFTOT's Top Photoshops of 2008, I strongly urge you to check that shit out this morning.

I'm at work.

Send sedatives. Or Xanax. Either one works.

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...

Well friends, it's Friday...and you know what that means? Yeah, yeah, the beer bong. But later. For now, you'll just have to settle for Meeting People Is Easy...again.

The good news, however, is we've got a top notch crew to handle the tough questions today. They've come from the farthest reaches of the internets just to give you all a glimpse into their massive banks of creativity. Or whether they'd prefer the Steelers O-Line over traffic cones. But I'm not going to split hairs.

And now for your starting lineup...

1. AJ Daulerio ~ I mean, I've never heard of this character, but people keep telling me about this "Deadspin" blog. Apparently it's some sort of big time sports blog where they talk about balls a lot...Yeah, no introduction needed, I assume.

2. Doug ~ If you've never hit on205th.com, I strongly urge you to add it to your daily "reading list." Ok, so I go for the pictures too. But you know what I mean.

3. The Starter Wife ~ I don't believe we've ever discussed it here at OFTOT, but in a last minute stroke of genius, TSW benched Michael Turner for Ricky Williams during Week 1 of the Steelers Blogger Thunderdome Fantasy League.

4. Holly ~ H to the izz O, you've all met Holly before. She thinks the Jeff Saturday injury is the most pressing of the currently relevant Colts matters, and I can't disagree with that.

5. Harvey Bars ~ I had to personally apologize to him for making a severely amateur comment on this post. What can I say, shit's rough nowadays.

6. The Chief ~ Recently ended his brief blogging moratorium, just in time for Big Ben to get sacked EIGHT TIMES (I don't know, have we talked about that yet this week?). By the way, Chief, someday you'll have to explain to me where you found a video of Celine Dion and Anastasia...and um, WHY you found it...

7. Notgomu ~ Has strong concerns about Mike Tomlin's ability to whup that ass.

8. Sheena Beaston ~ Seems to think that just because a couple of 20 something dudes choose to tape a pregame show for their respective Steelers blogs on a Saturday night that somehow makes them less dateable. Hey, listen up Sheena, chicks dig nerds, ok. That's a fact. You can't argue it.

9. Tobiathan ~ Sparked some major OFTOT controversy with the revelation that he doesn't like Mike Tomlin. Also, I finally discovered how Tobiathan knows so much about tactical folding knives and main battle tanks...but I'm going to have to cite attorney-client privilege on that one.

10. Lori ~ Gotta respect anyone who names their fantasy team, "The Mulleteers," right? Coincidentally, that picture reminded me that no one had a mullet like Jagr.

11. Me ~ Nothing to see here...

Aw hell, I done introduced 'em enough. Let's get this show on the road. As usual, click to enlarge...


Oh, and one more thing - fathers don't let your daughters sons grow up to be sluts Matt Millen. Write that down.

Meeting People Is Easy...

Good Friday all!

Time for Meeting People is Easy, ain't no two ways about it.

This week's expert panel is...
1. Sheena Beaston ~ I pretty much love the term, "Merrill Hedge"
2. Lori ~ Writes one of Cotter's favs, Hockey, Football & Stiletto Shoes
3. Christy ~ If only I'd paid attention...
4. Silky Johnson ~ Call him for percocets...
5. Neal Coolong ~ Dude is searching for a URL
6. Joey Porter's Pit Bulls ~ Continues to be the drinking king
7. Domski ~ Does not drink
8. Me ~ See "Domski"
