Humpday Hilarities: Bama Edition

Yup, another ‘Awbarn’ joke this morning!
This one is courtesy of the Times Daily forums.
An Auburn city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old farmer livin’ outside Tuscaloosa. The farmer’s prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The farmer only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull. The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace. The attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the farmer and tried to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job, and finally the farmer agreed to take half of what he was asking.
After the farmer had signed the release and took the check, the Auburn lawyer couldn’t resist gloating a little over his success, telling the farmer, “You know, I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn’t have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn’t have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!”
The old farmer replied, “Well, I’ll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home this morning.”
Go Bama, Go Bama, Go Bama, GO!

It’s finally here, football fans! The University of Alabama’s A-Day game is Saturday. I’ll be loading up my Helio Ocean with ringtones and wallpapers, and am in the process of packing up supplies and goodies to take on the trip down to T’town! A quick run-down of details were posted on Fox6’s blog here, or you can get that and more info directly from the UA Game Day site here.
I certainly can’t speak for anyone else, but I have been waiting 5 long months for this day — this day that signifies the rebirth of the Crimson Tide. A time for new beginnings. A time for redemption. A time for retribution. A time for those bearing the bright crimson and white jerseys to once again hit the field and behold the deafening, roaring swarm of crimson and white colored fury emanating from the stands. We are that swarm, the screaming ocean of loyal legions of Tide fans who follow you, the Crimson Tide, rain or shine, pouring into Bryant-Denny stadium once again to catch a glimpse of our pride and joy, our aspirant warriors, our TEAM!
I will be there. Who here will join me?


Busy time and upcoming schedule of events
It’s busy time! Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately, work is busy, home is busy, and what little spare time I’ve had has been for cooking, eating, and sleeping — and pretty much in that order. Jessie’s into her last semester of the school year. Things are starting to pick back up at work. Jim’s really busy at NSR.
Coming up
My birthday is next week. Considering nobody’s asked me what I want yet, I’m hoping for something to go shopping with. *grin* Though cash would be nice … I’ve been eying a very nice Smith & Wesson .38 special. :mrgreen:
Things with Soldiers’ Angels has been going great! I’ve been gathering materials for the upcoming Magnolia Festival and will have everything I need for the event mid next week. I’m looking forward to meeting people from this and neighboring communities and will hopefully gain some new SA members from it! 
Time to roll, Tide!
Alabama’s A-Day Game is this upcoming weekend, so Jess and I will be headed to T-town to meet up with Teresa and her loved ones. I’ll be gathering a few travel supplies over the next few days and (if Jim lets me borrow his camera) hopefully get some great A-Day pictures! 
Time to design
I noticed on the Lunarpages blog a week or so back that they are having another WordPress design contest. YAY!
I’ve started on a few designs to enter, and will post a sneak peek of the first one here when it’s ready (hopefully this weekend, but realistically early next week).
