Another moment of unabashed pragmatism

I thought about maybe going out and picking up a Subway turkey melt, but then I a was all like, meh, I don’t really feel much like driving — so I ate a couple slices of leftover sausage pizza and whacked off to “Three’s Company,” instead.

Now I’m thinking maybe a nap. Or a Subway turkey melt, if I somehow get really really motivated.

    Wait. Was that out loud?

  2. geoffb says:

    “Three’s Company” . That’s a nasty jones you’ve got going.

  3. Jeff G. says:

    Because what I meant to say was that I was going to do all that, but instead I wrestled an alligator. To save a burning orphanage.

  4. happyfeet says:

    ohnoes don’t taze Xander, bro

  5. sdferr says:

    Not a hot oven looking at her choose two, whether she acknowledges it or not. Just not looking…

  6. geoffb says:

    So, a Bobby Ewing shower day?

  7. Alec Leamas says:

    Never knew Don Knotts had such a following . . . I keed, I keed.

  8. Pablo says:

    Dude, what the fuck? I really didn’t need quite that much information.

    Subway? That’s just wrong, bro.

  9. JD says:

    I swore off anything healthy except for sushi, sashimi, and ceviche today.

  10. B Moe says:

    …but instead I wrestled an alligator.

    Never heard it called that before.

  11. JD says:

    This Big Bang show cracks me up.

  12. baxtrice says:

    Turkey Melt? No wonder you too lazy to go. Sweet Chicken Teriyaki is where it’s at.

  13. Jared Fogel says:

    I do not see a problem with this.

    I went a step farther and turned my routine into an ad campaign. But I edited out jerking off to Threes Company.

  14. bh says:

    Did the alligator start the fire? They were pretty unruly already without this arson development.

  15. Frontman says:

    So I’m sitting here, halfway listening to the tube, and just as I open up the page, I hear “Five….five dollar….five dollar foot lonnnnnnng….

    I may never return to the Subway. Though I still love Chrissie.

  16. JD says:

    We didn’t start the fire.
    It’s been always burning since the world’s been turning.

  17. sdferr says:

    It was Tim Tebow bh, I saw him playing with matches out back.

  18. bh says:

    Heh, I hope he’s caught then, sdferr. Then maybe he’ll drop to the third round and the Packers can run the wildcat a couple of times next season.

  19. T. Robbins says:

    “Dammit, Janet, I love you.”

    ….?

    Oops, sorry, crosstalk in the ether.

  20. sdferr says:

    heh, I saw a headline that seemed to imply the hapless Redskins want him bh. I dunno, I thought they had a good h-back already?

  21. bh says:

    Personally, I want it to have all been a ruse, sdferr. First regular season game for his new team and they reveal him to be a middle linebacker in the mold of a Butkus. Just a mean, nasty SOB.

  22. sdferr says:

    That was a great man in his day. An American through and through, I thought. A striver.

  23. JD says:

    Butkus is an Illini. That is all.

  24. bh says:

    So was Ray Nitschke, oddly enough.

  25. bh says:

    Ray had more interceptions. Just saying.

  26. sdferr says:

    Yeah, they were good at clubbing people with their forearms, but did either of those Neandertal’s have the wherewithal to start a bon-fire in a Swamp?

  27. JD says:

    And Red Grange. Ron Zuk is pissing on our history.

  28. geoffb says:

    Football players turned actors. This one is from my school when I was there. Bubba Smith.

  29. sdferr says:

    Who was the first, anybody know? Surely it wasn’t the only recently departed Merlin?

  30. geoffb says:

    Alex Karras perhaps?

  31. sdferr says:

    He would have got in on the Paper Tiger action I’ll bet. But I’d guess there may have been earlier pioneers.

  32. geoffb says:

    That was 1968.

    I’m sure there were some at the start of films.

  33. sdferr says:

    Say rather, Lion! duh. sorry there

    Sounds like a particularly nasty fungus..

    Pragmatic transvestites? Unabashed tighty whiteys?

  36. Swen says:

    Lips and toast?

  37. Swen says:

    Yet another time warp?

  38. geoffb says:

    Ding ding ding, winnah.

  39. SBP says:

    He wasn’t the first by a long shot, but let’s not forget John Matuszak. Not bad, within his (limited) range of acting ability.

  40. JD says:

    Golic was on Saved By The Bell – the college years.

    Excuse me while I denounce and flog myself for knowing that.

  41. sdferr says:

    The earliest credit I’ve been able to find so far is for Jim Brown in 1964, that is, as an actor not playing himself. Rio Conchos. Whether someone else is earlier, I dunno.

  42. geoffb says:

    Here’s one guys ranking of quite a few Pro football players turned actor.

  43. sdferr says:

    Frank Gifford, 1951

  44. geoffb says:

    Burt Reynolds first acted in 1959. He was drafted by the Colts but I am unsure if he ever played, he had a knee injury and a car accident while still in college.

  45. geoffb says:

    This is all of course Pro-football players. If we went to college players we could go back to the beginning of film.

  46. sdferr says:

    Yep, just ran into a guy named Allan Lane who was a college player turned film actor by 1929. He later voiced Mr. Ed.

  47. sdferr says:

    And some guy named Marion Morrison on football scholarship at USC ’25-27, aka John Wayne working in 1926.

  48. geoffb says:

    Wayne I knew of.

  49. Which episode? The one where the boss’s wife mistakenly thinks Jack is being neglected by his wife Teri or the one where Janet gets felt up by her dance teacher?

  50. BuddyPC says:

    Was it an early Suzanne Somers or later Patricia Barnes ep?

    Either’d be the OK way to go turkey in that Joyce DeWitt sandwich melt.
