Same shit, different week.
Friday night in Madison and I’m gearing up for another weekend of beer,
grilled food, mediocre college football and an upcoming Packer thrashing of an
inferior NFC South team. Last weekend was a good one as Aaron, Jordy, Randall
and the rest of the flying death machine known as the Green Bay offense
murdered a bunch of teal-clad kittens in Lambeau field. Also, I won my fantasy matchup, meaning
Garrison has to go all of Saturday using Lego hands, avenging the bet I lost
the previous week in our other fantasy league (I had to start every
conversation with “I’m Batman”. Makes ordering drinks at a bar slightly awkward). Despite a good start to the week though, I
ran into some trouble on Tuesday afternoon.
Allow me to explain. Also, this
is a good time to point out that if for some reason the idea of me pooping
makes you uncomfortable, you should skip the next paragraph. If not, well then read on, you sick son of a
bitch.
Beer shits. We’ve all
had them. And as bad as beer shits can
be, everyone knows that the dreaded “wings and beer” shits are approximately
twice as debilitating. So anyways, there
I was on Tuesday after clinic, working through the wreckage of my colon in my
downstairs bathroom that I thankfully don’t have to share. As I finished up however, I noticed with some
alarm that my toilet paper roll was empty.
“No matter” I thought to myself, “I’ll just shuffle pantsless over to
the cabinet under the sink and grab another roll.” Unfortunately, as I opened
the cabinet I was greeted with an unpleasant surprise: one of my roommates had
borrowed my last roll. Uh oh. Now at this point, I had two unpleasant
options.
A) Carefully pull up my pants and waddle to the upstairs bathroom, diligently trying not to soil my underpants

B) Use the roll of paper towels next to the sink instead
You can probably see where this is going. I picked option B. And other than a slight amount of chafing, it was working pretty well at first, that is until I stood up, crossed my fingers and flushed

“Glug… glug… clunk… hissssssss” went the toilet.
“Oh, shit” went Chode.
“Oh, shit” went Chode.
Thirty minutes later, after approximately a thousand unsuccessful
plunging attempts and with a runny brown mixture covering most of the bathroom
floor, I turned the water supply to the toilet off and fled, returning only briefly
to chuck a bunch of newspapers on the vile mess that I had created. The next day, I went out and bought a toilet
snake (closet auger for those of you in the plumbing business). Unfortunately, the snake was a real asshole
about things and steadfastly refused to clear the offending mixture of paper
towel and digested chicken meat. This
left me with one recourse other than calling a plumber: lift the fucking toilet
off the ground and disimpact the clogging piece of shit with a pliers. And you know what? It may have taken me most of a week but I
finally got that turd out of there. I won. So let that be my lesson to you all this
week: don’t ever wipe your ass with paper towels.
Also, a few of you asked to see the resume I sent to the UW
athletic department when I applied for the head coaching job, so here it is:

They never called. Must have gotten lost in a file somewhere. What a shame. Anyways, enough about me. ON TO THE PICKS!
MARYLAND TERRAPINS (5-2) at WISCONSIN BADGERS (4-2)
Even with a less talented coach, I feel pretty confident
about this one. Yes, Maryland has looked
good in winning two of three Big Ten games so far, but they have yet to face an
atmosphere like Camp Randall. And I’m
assuming Gary Andersen came up with some sweet trick plays using both of our
quarterbacks over the bye week.
Hopefully they won’t involve any throwing on McEvoy’s part. But since the Terrapins’ run defense is
weaker than the toilet paper I should have used on Tuesday, expect Gordon and
Clement to visit the end zone frequently on our way to win #5.

GREEN BAY PACKERS (5-2) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (2-4)
It’s really a shame that Peyton Manning is having such a
monster year, because otherwise Aaron Rodgers would be on his way to a second
MVP trophy. Also, New Orleans’ pass
defense is the worst in the league, so we might as well just give Eddie Lacy
the day off. And amazingly, the Saints
are actually favored by a point in this game.
So for those of you who didn’t take my advice and bet on the Broncos
over the Jets two weeks ago, here’s another chance for some easy money. By the way, I apologize for getting the Picks
out late this week but I figured since this is a Sunday night game I had a
little more time to dick around.

Well, looks like I was wrong about the Wisconsin-Maryland game. Holy shit, it’s incredible how good we look with some competent quarterback play. And with two virtual byes against Rutgers and Purdue the next two weeks, it looks like we’re building up to a showdown between 7-2 Wisconsin and 8-1 Nebraska for the Big Ten West title in Camp Randall on November 15th. Hooray.
Chode Points update: most of your Maryland-related insults
sucked balls last week, but I’ll give the few of you that came up with them
some pity points anyways. Zach gets the ten points for the best one: Why wasn’t
baby Jesus born in Maryland? No wise
men, no virgins. Point totals are as
follows:
Ben Steyer, Dustin Baldwin, Zach Niemeyer and Ryan Bade: 15
points
Korrie Mundin: 10 points
Ben King: 6 points
Korrie Mundin: 10 points
Ben King: 6 points
Dan Jensen: 5 points
For this week’s challenge: ten points to the first person to identify the man in the picture posted below. Five points for anyone who posts an interesting fact about him afterwards. I expect some creativity this week, damn it.
