Silverback to skip White House visit ... again

[jonzr]

God told jonzr to tell penso to shut up about that devil stuff.

[Finnegans Wake]

I always loved when Bob Dole would call Bob Dole Bob Dole.

After a while, I started saying things to Mrs. Finny like "Get Bob Dole a beer," and "Oh fuck, Bob Dole just sharted his shorts."

Bob Dole told God to tell jonzr to tell penso to shut the hell up about that devil stuff or Bob Dole will tell God to make penso shart himself.

Fear of flying why Steelers' Harrison will skip White House visit
Tuesday, May 19, 2009
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Steelers linebacker James Harrison gave little reason for not wanting to join his teammates for their visit to the White House Thursday.

A well-placed source, however, later revealed the real reason for Harrison's reluctance to make the trip: He has a fear of flying and is a "wreck" whenever he must take team flights.

"Let me ask you a question," Harrison asked reporters who greeted him coming off the practice field today. "Why is it a big issue now that I'm not going if it wasn't a big issue the last time?"

Harrison, a backup linebacker for the Steelers when they won Super Bowl XL, did not join his teammates four years ago when they visited the White House of President George Bush.

However, his profile changed in four years. He was the NFL defensive player of the year and his 100-yard touchdown with an interception in Super Bowl XLIII was the longest play in Super Bowl history.

"Hey, James ain't changed," Harrison responded. "I guess my profile did but I didn't change. I'm not going because I don't want to go."

He added, seemingly in a joking manner, that the White House is not in the safest area of Washington, D.C.

"It's not a good neighborhood over there either," Harrison said. "It's a bad neighborhood."

Harrison said he was surprised at the reaction to his declining an offer to visit the White House.

"They're making a big deal out of this: 'Oh, my, James Harrison is not going to the White House, he must be a devil worshiper!'"

He said he will remain in Pittsburgh Thursday to "work out, run, get ready."

So what you are saying is that the Silverack is now B.A. Baracus....who would  be Hannibal, Face and Murdock?

Ten years ago / In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team

I love speaking in 3rd person.  I should start doing that at work.

Big Virgil thinks it time for your pet to be with Jesus.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.  I got some fertilizer down the other night.  I increased the setting on the spreader so it was dropping a little more in the back yard where he likes to roll around.

Back the fuck off, people.  The man is biz-ayy.

As if any of you had any idea how frickin' long it takes to count 51 million when you're paid in singles...

Wow, the national and local media are really sucking this story dry.  Between the Harrison situation and Ben's rumored skin cancer story, they are really hard-up for material during this offseason.  Pretty sad.
