Here's a thread where you can aks bukdow anything that you would like to.

If you are fortunate enough to get a response, prepare to be enlightened.

Witness the majesty. Smell the rich mahogany. This is kind of like NPR and PBS wrapped up into a subforum. Whilst reading here, you'll almost feel like you are part of the intellectual elite (don't get too excited, you're not)

Fucking genius!

I like bukdow, I'm glad this day has come.

OK, shoot. However, I will answer honestly and will not suffer any delusions, no matter how closely held.

Who are you voting for?

Who are you voting for?
Barack Obama. He is a good man who has America`s fortunes in the forefront of his mind rather than just his own. If you did not hear the speech he made recently about race and America, I suggest you read the transcript.

Is Tahoe correct when he says Fox News really is fair and balanced?

Is Tahoe correct when he says Fox News really is fair and balanced?
No. It is very well known that FOX News is the voice for "conservative" America in response to what is seen as an over-arching "liberal media" in America.

What did you mean when you said (paraphrase), "A bukdow isn't a thing, it's a way of life"?

What did you mean when you said (paraphrase), "A bukdow isn't a thing, it's a way of life"?
By that I meant existing in honesty. Honesty regarding yourself, your environment and your context. Self-delusion, in any form, is a path to self-destructive, willful ignorance. Honesty is difficult and many choose delusion and other forms of escapism.

Now I get it!

Do you watch any pro sports?

Now I get it!

Do you watch any pro sports?
Yes, football, baseball and the NBA playoffs. I like sports because I think it is the best, most pure, form of "reality television".

I agree.

Are you a Lions fan?

Are you a Lions fan?
I suppose. I root for them because they are the home team, but I have a hard time truly getting behind any pro-team because of the money that is involved. I don`t neccessarily begrudge the players making a lot of money, but when players are making $10-27 million a year when there are many in this country who are struggling to provide food and shelter for themselves and their families, I find the salaries obscene.

That may have been more answer than you were looking for.

I know the meaning of bukdow, but where does the word actually come from?

I know the meaning of bukdow, but where does the word actually come from?
That, I can not reveal.

Searching yields nothing.

If I meditate, will it be revealed?

Searching yields nothing.

If I meditate, will it be revealed?
I can not say. I would not focus on the word, but rather what the word represents.

Favorite movie and book?

Favorite movie and book?
Favorite movie? Thats a tough one. Man, if I had to choose one, I guess it would be Casablanca. A close second would be Miller`s Crossing.

Favorite book is another tough one. I guess Moveable Feast, by Hemingway. A close second would be Invisible Man by Ralph Elison.

One of your degrees is in history, so I assume you're a history buff. What is your favorite period in history?

Wow, this is almost getting to "interview" status.

Wow, this is almost getting to "interview" status.

You've gotta admit, that was a good question.

One of your degrees is in history, so I assume you're a history buff. What is your favorite period in history?
My favorite era in American history would be The Civil War. It was America`s "puberty" and really set the course for what kind of country we were going to be.

Other interesting eras would be the European Rennaisance, The Crusades (the more things change, the more they stay the same) and the concept of "Revolution" and why/how people react in such a manner (Cuban, the fall of Apartheid).

What initially led you to WTFDetroit?

I'm related to one of the (Confederate) generals.

What initially led you to WTFDetroit?
A link on another message board to a discussion on WTFDetroit about Dar Tucker`s recruitment.

Who's your favorite WTFPoster?

I'm related to one of the (Confederate) generals.

I like reading about The Civil War too, even though I prefer learning about world history.
Yes, America is a very young country and does not have the layers of history that the rest of the world does, but America`s history is intense. A lot has happened in a very little time.

Who's your favorite WTFPoster?
I do not have a favorite.

Don't get me wrong, I like learning about the history of this country.

The history of other countries just appeals to me more I guess.

Your thoughts on DrTre?

Do you actually own a green and white tent?

One question at a time, Glenn.

Most painful thing you'd rather do instead of watch MTV?

Your thoughts on DrTre?
MSU`s version of Jethro.

Do you actually own a green and white tent?
No. I own a Marmot Nutshell 3-season tent.

One question at a time, Glenn.

Most painful thing you'd rather do instead of watch MTV?
Watch local news.

The fact you have an entire subforum dedicated to you and people are taking numbers to ask you questions: creepy or flattering?

Does the path to enlightenment begin by subscribing to Harper's and Smithsonian, or do you HAVE to read too?

Does the path to enlightenment begin by subscribing to Harper's and Smithsonian, or do you HAVE to read too?
Being interested in what Harper`s and Smithsonian offer is a by-product of rejecting mind-numbing pop-culture. In addition, reading literature is yet another thing your mind will want and enjoy once you stop swigging the Mountain Dew culture that is primarily offered in this country.

People who drink Mountain Dew usually play Guitar Hero, and people who play Guitar Hero pop the collars on their shirts and call other people "bro".

Don't you just hate that?

A couple more questions before I log off...

Parents excluded, who do you look up to? Who helped you become the man you are today?

A couple more questions before I log off...

Parents excluded, who do you look up to? Who helped you become the man you are today?
Some historical figures that have provided me with inspiration are; Theodore Roosevelt, Ernesto Guevara, Winston Churchill, Elanor Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Nelson Mandela, Dwight Eisenhower and Lao Tzu among others. And of course, JC. Although I am enormously imperfect, JC has always been a good, understanding companion.

I always thought you were a mix between JC, Buddha, and Che.

Thanks for answering all of my questions and helping me understand you a little better.

Mr. Bukdow, Why ask why?

Barack Obama. He is a good man who has America`s fortunes in the forefront of his mind rather than just his own. If you did not hear the speech he made recently about race and America, I suggest you read the transcript. It's rich in innuendo and drips of exquisite irony. Personally, I find it as intellectually challenging and intensely satisfying as anything by Alfred Kinsey.

Agreed as I lather in the scent of by family heirloom bookcase, born of a single slab of rich mahogany.

Why do you consistently and mistakenly use a grave accent mark where it would be correct to use apostrophe, which is so much easier to type?

Mr. Swami, Why ask why?

bukdow,

How do you think Jesus feels about your porn collection?

Agreed as I lather in the scent of by family heirloom bookcase, born of a single slab of rich mahogany.
What type of books do you keep on that shelf Denny?

What type of books do you keep on that shelf Denny?

Various volumes of voluptuous prose, which collectively define my intelligence as greater than yours.

Also tons of Calvin and Hobbes compilations

Mr. Bukdow, what is your five year plan?

Are those leather-bound Calvin and Hobbes?

This is aks bukdow, people.

When he answers the questions he's been asked, I'll ask him more questions.

Favorite movie? Thats a tough one. Man, if I had to choose one, I guess it would be Casablanca. A close second would be Miller`s Crossing.


I love this guy!

I love this guy!

Bukdow for ROY!!!!

When he answers the questions he's been asked, I'll ask him more questions.
What questions haven`t I answered?

One by Swami, one by Glenn, and one by Vinny (which I didn't actually expect you to answer).

bukdow,

How do you think Jesus feels about your porn collection?
I am happily married and no longer require a porn collection. However, since Jesus is infinitely understanding and forgiving, he would probably just laugh and skake his head and say, "Dumbass."

Why do you consistently and mistakenly use a grave accent mark where it would be correct to use apostrophe, which is so much easier to type?
Just a mistake, I guess. I really don`t see the difference between them. It`s and it's. Meh. Six of one and half dozen of the other.

I've always wondered that myself, but I figured that since you're bukdow (and therefore not a pussy), you just prefer to do it the hard way.

Bukdow...

Whats your beef with Noman podhoretz?

And your history studies...you prefer the 1600s, 1700s or the precambrian era?

Is it frustrating being a MSU football fan?

Is it frustrating being a MSU football fan?

I can answer this one...no. I think bukdow likes where the program is going (I do too, but I won't bootlick!)

This is aks bukdow, people.

:cogent:

I have a questyun...

buk, are you a vegetarian?

Bukdow...

Whats your beef with Noman podhoretz?

And your history studies...you prefer the 1600s, 1700s or the precambrian era?

Is it frustrating being a MSU football fan?
Podhoretz is a myopic Zionist. His whole world-view is based on fear and more fear. He is intellectually inflexible and the world has passed him by.

Of the historical eras you mentioned, I prefer the 17th century (1600s) because, although it did not include Michelangelo or Da Vinci, it was a a century still very influenced by Renaissance thinking.

Yes, it can be frustrating being a MSU football fan. But, as Sir DB said, the program is moving in the right direction and I believe MSU football will experience consistent success under Dantonio.

I have a questyun...

buk, are you a vegetarian?
No. When I lived in San Francisco, my girlfriend was a vegan (therefore, so was I). That was enough for me. Although I incorporate a lot of vegetables into my diet, I am not a vegetarian.

bukdow,

Thank you for agreeing to answer these questions "honestly and without suffering any delusions".

I have a medical question for you.

What are your personal thoughts on masterbation?

How often do you, personally, you know...cuff the carrot?

I have a medical question for you.

What are your personal thoughts on masterbation?



Is that what you call it? A medical question? I'd say it's more of a "Glenn is a loser" question.

Just kidding. I just don't get why, of all the questions you can ask, you ask that.

No. When I lived in San Francisco, my girlfriend was a vegan (therefore, so was I). That was enough for me. Although I incorporate a lot of vegetables into my diet, I am not a vegetarian.

Why do you feel that just because your girlfriend was a vegan, that you had to be one as well?

Isn't that sort of sheeplike, just like being a WalMart Wolverine?

bukdow,

Thank you for agreeing to answer these questions "honestly and without suffering any delusions".

I have a medical question for you.

What are your personal thoughts on masterbation?

How often do you, personally, you know...cuff the carrot?
Masturbation is a normal part of life. Frankly, my personal manipulations are just that, personal. However, since being married, I "cuff the carrot" much less frequently than before I was married.

Juels said his girlfriend was a vegetarian and that made him one as well.

bukdow is just trying really hard to be the shepherd.

Why do you feel that just because your girlfriend was a vegan, that you had to be one as well?

Isn't that sort of sheeplike, just like being a WalMart Wolverine?
Yes. Although I willingly went along out of curiosity, I did allow my girlfriend to influence my behavior. However, if you have ever been in a "live in" relationship, these types of behaviors are not uncommon.

Bukdow...Do you like Big Kahuna burgers with a Sprite?

Bukdow...Do you like Big Kahuna burgers with a Sprite?
I have never had a Big Kahuna burger and drink very little soda.

You drink any alcohol?

You may have already been asked this but what type of movies do you like?

Is that what you call it? A medical question? I'd say it's more of a "Glenn is a loser" question.

Just kidding. I just don't get why, of all the questions you can ask, you ask that.

Just trying to find the boundaries of his morality.

I'll take this one.

Under a green and white tent.

How far have you ventured from East Lansing?

(Hate to take the focus away from bukdow, but this thread is terrific. Great work, Glenn).

One by Swami, one by Glenn, and one by Vinny (which I didn't actually expect you to answer).
Just because you don't know what a five year plan is doesn't mean it isn't a valid question.

So I must repeat:


Mr. Bukdow, what is your five year plan?

You seem to have your stuff together so I was hoping to find out where you anticipate yourself being in five years and how you intend to get there.

Born and raised?
Michigan.

How far have you ventured from East Lansing?
Morocco.

Right now, my wife and I are in the process of buying a house. We plan to live in it for 5-7 years and then, hopefully, sell it in a recovered housing market for a decent profit and then buy a house in the country (with a good school system) with some acreage.

At that point, our son will be around 7 years old and we can start to travel internationally with him. I look forward to being a father to a 7 year old boy and introducing him to the world.

Your favorite MSU player (any sport)?

Your favorite MSU player (any sport)?
Although he was a little rough around the edges, I`d say Scott Skiles. The guy was such a competitor. He just oozed grit. When he ran "Fat Boy" (Antoine Joubert) out of the gym after he told "Fat Boy" he was going to run him out of the gym, was great.

Favorite movie? Thats a tough one. Man, if I had to choose one, I guess it would be Casablanca. A close second would be Miller`s Crossing.

Favorite book is another tough one. I guess Moveable Feast, by Hemingway. A close second would be Invisible Man by Ralph Elison.

i actually spent a qtr on year in hs studying invisible man. kind of pisses me of that bukdow knows about that book.

No. When I lived in San Francisco, my "girlfriend" was a vagina(therefore, so was I). That was enough for me.

Hmph.

Bukdow, You know many think you are a tool for coming on our board as a newbie and insulting many here. Was that your intent?

Or now that you've come to many of us on WTF and you've found out how reasonable we are, would you have done anything different in your first month or so on the board?

bukdow - do you have any friends that cheer for The University of Michigan Ann Arbor? Or does that disqualify any potential friendships you may encounter?

bukdow, how do you feel about the use of tear gas to break up riots in east lansing. Do the police overstep the bounds or reasonable behavior or is it an appropriate response to prevent msu students from hurting one another since they seem to have an exceptional lack of self discipline?

bukdow, how do you feel about passive aggressive questions?

That last one seemed a bit snarky to me.

I would say it is about 50/50. Half of the posters here are decent, while the other half are idiots.

bukdow - do you have any friends that cheer for The University of Michigan Ann Arbor? Or does that disqualify any potential friendships you may encounter?
I have two friends and one relative that alumni from UMAA.

bukdow, how do you feel about the use of tear gas to break up riots in east lansing. Do the police overstep the bounds or reasonable behavior or is it an appropriate response to prevent msu students from hurting one another since they seem to have an exceptional lack of self discipline?
I think the students that were involved in the Cedarfest riots last weekend should be identified and expelled. Period. No questions, no explanations, nothing, just gone.

bukdow, how do you feel about passive aggressive questions?

That last one seemed a bit snarky to me.
I consider the source and am not surprised.

bukdow, did Kansas win it or did Memphis blow and lose it?

Yes. Although I willingly went along out of curiosity, I did allow my girlfriend to influence my behavior. However, if you have ever been in a "live in" relationship, these types of behaviors are not uncommon.

One more: So, you say your girlfriend influenced your behavior. Is that why you like the cock?

After you answer my Memphis-Kansas question and Zip's questions, I need to know if we're ever going to get a pic of you, so we can see what we're supposed to aspire to be like.

Currently reside in? Just roughly.

Currently reside in? Just roughly.

I'm guessing Lansing still.

Mr. Bukdow, what's a Metropark?

Vinny's question is legit, he asked it in another thread, we just feel you'd give the best answer.

bukdow, what was your FIRST job?

bukdow, what was your FIRST job?
A busboy at a restaurant. At least that was the first job I filled out a W2 for.

Why do the Tigers (Detroit) suck right now?
The new players have not yet meshed with each other and the pitching sucks, especially middle and late relief. Due to their pitching problems, Detroit will not make the playoffs.

Bukdow, have you ever sent TheLongArmOfTheLaw a private message at FVsports.com?
I am unaware of both TheLongArmOfTheLaw and FVsports.com. So, no.

Who ya got in the (Women's) National Championship game tonight, Tennessee or Stanford?

And is Candace Parker hot or what?

Currently reside in? Just roughly.
Mid-Michigan.

Mr. Bukdow, what's a Metropark?
A metropark is a rural park set in a metropolitan area.

Who ya got in the (Women's) National Championship game tonight, Tennessee or Stanford?

And is Candace Parker hot or what?
Have to go with Tennessee. I have not see enough pictures of Ms. Parker to establish if she is hot or not.

When you say DrTre is MSU's version of Jethro, even though I don't think Tre even attended MSU, what do you mean by that?
Although well informed and well intentioned, they both seem wayyyy too involved in the sports programs of a university they did not attend.

Great point.

If you could visit or live anywhere in the world, where would you go?

If you could visit or live anywhere in the world, where would you go?
If I could visit anywhere, it would Antarctica. Probably the last truly wild place on the planet. If I could live anywhere, it would be Paris. I was in France in 2005 and Paris was fantastic. Great, great city.

Bukdow...did you know I'm French?

Bukdow...did you know I'm French?
No.

Tahoe was born in America, he can't be French. Claiming he is would make him a bootlick, right?

Did you know I was born and raised in Mid-Michigan?

Tahoe was born in America, he can't be French. Claiming he is would make him a bootlick, right?
He should clarify and say that he is of French descent. However, to claim any ethnicity besides "American", I believe one must be at least 50% of the ethnicity they are claiming.

Did you know I was born and raised in Mid-Michigan?
No.

He should clarify and say that he is of French descent. However, to claim any ethnicity besides "American", I believe one must be at least 50% of the ethnicity they are claiming.

I think one has to be actually from there. Just my opinion.

But since this is about you...if Tahoe is less than half, he can say he's of French descent, but he can't identify himself as a French-American...right?

I think one has to be actually from there. Just my opinion.

But since this is about you...if Tahoe is less than half, he can say he's of French descent, but he can't identify himself as a French-American...right?
As far as I am concerned, yes. However, I can see your point, too.

Of course, one could argue that he has "French blood" in him...

We need Tahoe to clear this up.

Do you have a pet iguana named Tom Lizzo?

If not, do you have any pets? If so, what are their names?

If I could visit anywhere, it would Antarctica. Probably the last truly wild place on the planet. If I could live anywhere, it would be Paris. I was in France in 2005 and Paris was fantastic. Great, great city.

Bukdow.

Considering Paris is the final retiring destination of many Arabs, are YOU an Arab terrorist

He should clarify and say that he is of French descent. However, to claim any ethnicity besides "American", I believe one must be at least 50% of the ethnicity they are claiming.

Let's say someone's 50% Irish and 50% German then. Which are they? They are at least 50% of each so they can claim the ethnicity but how is one of the ethnicities more important than the other? Would it just be the person's choice on which ethnicity they want to claim or in the interest of full disclosure would they need to tell everyone about both halfs (in this case, they could say they're "Irish-German")? This may not seem like a big deal but what if someone who was 50/50 Polish and Swiss were kind of dumb and wanted to hide the fact that they were part Polish to avoid embarrassment?

Do you have a pet iguana named Tom Lizzo?

If not, do you have any pets? If so, what are their names?
No. We have a rabbit and a bird. Named "bunny" and "bird".

Bukdow.

Considering Paris is the final retiring destination of many Arabs, are YOU an Arab terrorist
No.

Let's say someone's 50% Irish and 50% German then. Which are they?


They're just white.

This may not seem like a big deal but what if someone who was 50/50 Polish and Swiss were kind of dumb and wanted to hide the fact that they were part Polish to avoid embarrassment?
Yes, that is quite a conundrum. I guess they could choose the ethnicity they preferred, or as you suggest, go with full disclosure.

FYI, Polish jokes are only told in the US. Polish people do not carry the same stigmas in Europe that they do in the US (i.e. dumb or backwards).

Mr. Bukdow, are you a Pistons fan too or do you just follow college athletics? Red Wings? Lions? Shock?

They're just white.
Or that.

Also, do you remember the Detroit Drive, the greatest football team Michigan's ever seen?

Yes, that is quite a conundrum. I guess they could choose the ethnicity they preferred

That's discrimination, isn't it?

Mr. Bukdow, are you a Pistons fan too or do you just follow college athletics? Red Wings? Lions? Shock?
As I stated earlier, I root for the Detroit teams because I am from Michigan. However, I have a hard time getting fully behind a pro-team because of the salaries involved. There are too many people experiencing true need for athletes to be paid the money they are. It is obscene.

Also, do you remember the Detroit Drive, the greatest football team Michigan's ever seen?
I think the Michigan Panthers were the best football team the state of Michigan has ever had.

That's discrimination, isn't it?
I suppose you could view it that way. No, I am not 100% Hungarian, only 50%.

I used to "know" a Hungarian stripper, she was smoking hot.

Cheetah's in Windsor, btw.

edit: sorry, I forgot to pose a question.

Bukdow, do you like George Blaha?

I suppose you could view it that way

Might as well just deal with it, you know? Your ancestry/ethnic background is something you can't control.

Now that we put that to bed...

How's Michigan State's field hockey team doing?

I used to "know" a Hungarian stripper, she was smoking hot.

Yes, Hungarian people are generally quite physically attractive.

Yeah, I like George Blaha. You know the whole, "Touchdown, MSU!" thing.

Did the Michigan Panthers ever win 4 consecutive Arena Bowl Titles?

Although the official season is yet to begin, they are doing quite well.

http://msuspartans.cstv.com/sports/w-fieldh/recaps/040108aab.html

Did the Michigan Panthers ever win 4 consecutive Arena Bowl Titles?
No, but they were the first and only champions of the USFL. Also, Anthony Carter was on the team. From the "Big House", to the "big time".

So you liked Anthony Carter?

So you liked Anthony Carter?
Well, he did drop that pass in Ann Arbor to give MSU the victory. I just felt bad about his teeth. What a mess. Seems like Bo could have hooked him up with an orthodontist.

Do you have any fears?

Death, heights, anything?

BukDow, getting back to the other question and answer...Yes, I grew up in mid-Mich. Every been to Bay City/Saginaw/Midland area? If you, did you like it?

Let's say someone's 50% Irish and 50% German then. Which are they?

American

Yep, gets no more American than the name Hans McBuckle.

A busboy at a restaurant. At least that was the first job I filled out a W2 for.

among the most mysterious answers i've ever seen. there is a WIDE spectrum of first jobs that you dont fill out a W2 for...

Yes, Hungarian people are generally quite physically attractive.

Yeah, I like George Blaha. You know the whole, "Touchdown, MSU!" thing.

2 parter:

1) why did a word conoseiur such as yourself choose the word "people" rather than "women". hint or freudian slip?

2) how are you able to listen to MSU football games on the radio from your mom's basement?

bukdow, I know you're a Christian, but what are your thoughts on religion?

I am unaware of both TheLongArmOfTheLaw and FVsports.com. So, no.

Excellent, I rest my case Timmy.

A very attractive female asked to take me out to dinner for my birthday tonight, but she's bringing along her roommate. How should I interpret the situation?

Do you have any fears?

Death, heights, anything?
My greatest fear is that my son will contract a fatal or dehabilitating illness. More conventionally, I guess I have a fear of heights or maybe premature death because I went skydiving 12 times and reached the point where I was doing jumps from 7500 feet and freefall, but everytime it was my turn to step out of the plane, I was terrified.

BukDow, getting back to the other question and answer...Yes, I grew up in mid-Mich. Every been to Bay City/Saginaw/Midland area? If you, did you like it?
I have been to Saginaw quite a few times, but not Midland or Bay City. Seemed like regular blue-collar Michigan to me.

2 parter:

1) why did a word conoseiur such as yourself choose the word "people" rather than "women". hint or freudian slip?

2) how are you able to listen to MSU football games on the radio from your mom's basement?
Because I was expanding the idea of physical beauty to all of those of Hungarian descent.

Would you consider your son growing up to be a UM-AA fan a fatal or "dehabilitating" illness?

bukdow, I know you're a Christian, but what are your thoughts on religion?
I think religion is fine, but it seems that most religions now have been skewed to serve the wants and desires of man. Religion in and of itself is fine, but many times what humans do with their "devotion" is diametrically opposed to the actual religious message.

Excellent, I rest my case Timmy.
Again, I am unfamiliar with what you are referencing.

A very attractive female asked to take me out to dinner for my birthday tonight, but she's bringing along her roommate. How should I interpret the situation?
She is either only interested in being friends or she is bringing her friend along as insulation and security. If the second scenario is true, she may want to go out with you alone if all goes well tonight. So, behave and be a gentleman.

Would you consider your son growing up to be a UM-AA fan a fatal or "dehabilitating" illness?
Not necessarily. If he ended up going to UM, my wife and I (both MSU graduates) would be happy for him, but as soon as he started acting like a smug little shit, he would be pulling my boot out of his ass.

No offense, but wouldn't he just be trying to be like Dad? Maybe this is just your internet persona?

No offense, but wouldn't he just be trying to be like Dad? Maybe this is just your internet persona?
Whatever. There are others on this board that make me look downright Pollyannish.

Like I said, no offense. Even you have to admit that you come accross as smug every once in a while.

Have you ever read The New Yorker?

Not necessarily. If he ended up going to UM, my wife and I (both MSU graduates) would be happy for him, but as soon as he started acting like a smug little shit, he would be pulling my boot out of his ass.

I like that.

I can't stand smug people!

B,

Also, what kind of boots do you wear?

I'll take this one...

Your mother just wants to celebrate your birthday with you. Why interpret it any other way?

Bukdow, I can't remember if I asked you this in another thread before or not but:

If I worked at the University of Michigan for 3 years, does that make me a Wal-Mart Wolverine to cheer for them?

Yes, considering the fact you said you ALSO root for MSU sometimes.

B,

Also, what kind of boots do you wear?
La Sportiva.

It makes your connection less tenuous.

My cousin is Matt Lentz. Is my connection even less tenuous?

Also, bukky d (<---Dick Vitale voice)...

How tall are you?

5'10"

Who is Matt Lentz?

Every damn time.


College career

Lentz attended the University of Michigan, earning his first varsity letter as a sophomore in 2002. He went on to become a three-year starter at right guard, and a two-time All-Big Ten first teamer.

The Jerry Springer Show is terrible, agree/disagree?

The Jerry Springer Show is terrible, agree/disagree?
Agree. Shows like Jerry Springer only perpetuate the "stupidification" of America.

Would "WWE Monday Night Raw" also be one of those shows?

Yes.

What about that FSN show with Doug Karsch, Wolverine Sports Magazine?

Thought you needed a good laugh. :)

I have a friend that's a Buckeye fan, he points out every person he sees wearing Michigan gear that looks like a redneck. The guy in your picture just reminded me of that.

There's plenty of fans of Michigan AND Ohio State that are rednecks.

Indeed. Lots of dumbasses who are MSU fans, too.

She is either only interested in being friends or she is bringing her friend along as insulation and security. If the second scenario is true, she may want to go out with you alone if all goes well tonight. So, behave and be a gentleman.

I would say there's also probably a chance she's trying to hook you up with her friend, who may or may not be attractive.

Because I was expanding the idea of physical beauty to all of those of Hungarian descent.

so, it is accurate to say that you are physically attracted to hungarian men?

I would say there's also probably a chance she's trying to hook you up with her friend, who may or may not be attractive.
That too, is a possibility. Perhaps Zekyl will fill us in as to what happened.

so, it is accurate to say that you are physically attracted to hungarian men?
You have a lot of work to do. A lot.

I could look this up myself, but I prefer asking you...Zsa Zsa Gabor's Hungarian right? Or is she Romanian?

Neither the mustache, wine, cheese or tie is "hot". Frankly, I think the guy needs to be blind-sided into the microphone and off the stage.

What was/is your favorite Soundgarden song?

What was/is your favorite Soundgarden song?
Probably something off Badmotorfinger. Maybe, Searching With My Good Eye Closed.

What about Outshined?

That seriously goes down as one of the best rock songs of all time in my opinion.

bukdow, do you think Maddox has "fallen off"?

By the way, Badmotorfinger is an epic album.

Is there any truth to the rumors that the only reason you've been posting more and have been participating in this thread is that you hope to move up in Denny McLain's Official WTFDetroit Poster Power Rankings?

bukdow, do you think Maddox has "fallen off"?

I am unsure of who or what, you mean by "Maddox".

Yeah, Outshined was good, too. That whole album (Badmotorfinger) was great.

Although that is a pretty awesome fringe benefit, no, the rumors are untrue.

Really?

That too, is a possibility. Perhaps Zekyl will fill us in as to what happened.
We got dinner, hung out for a bit, visited a mutual friend at work, seemed like she had a good time. Not really sure how to take it, if it was just friends or if she's interested. She did make a comment about going to the park with me sometime and maybe going for a run or a walk or something. We'll see where that goes.

buk, how and where did you meet your wife?

I think religion is fine, but it seems that most religions now have been skewed to serve the wants and desires of man. Religion in and of itself is fine, but many times what humans do with their "devotion" is diametrically opposed to the actual religious message.

You are a dope. Religion is a creation of man. Of course it's going to get "skewed" to the wants and desires of man.
How can humans be diametrically opposed to the message of religion when humans created the message of religion. It's a conundrum, but that's the reality of it.

It's kind of like when some dope makes a piece of toast, and then it has the "likeness" of the Virgin Mary (HAH!) or Jesus on it. How can it be the likeness of someone no one has a fucking clue what they looked like?

Same thing with religion: How can man be opposed to a message he created?

Jesus was/is a real individual who espoused a definite message. Humans have mutated that message to suit them and their desires.

You correctly point out how humans` desire for religiosity manifests itself in very stupid ways. However, you fail to realize that there was, and still is, a core truth and honesty to religion which was not created by man. You have allowed the errors of man to cloud your judgement to the point of childish petulance.

buk,

Do you drink beer, and if so, what kind?

Any of these? http://www.socyberty.com/Lifestyle-Choices/Top-3-Worlds-Most-Expensive-Beer.40307

Yes, but none of those. The beer that generally resides in my fridge Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Also, I like a nice Pinot Noir (wine).

Did you start drinking Pinot before or after the movie.

Did you start drinking Pinot before or after the movie.
I do not know what movie you are referring to. I have been drinking wine, including the Pinot Noir variety, since 1993.

Through a mutual friend at another friend`s house.

Never seen it. Do they drink a lot of Pinot Noir in the movie or something?

What's the craziest thing you've done at a party?

The show is so ridiculous that you can't help but laugh. Newer episodes aren't as good as the old ones, though.

What's the craziest thing you've done at a party?
Jumped out from behind a tree (in the winter) to scare my friend, slid on some ice and cut his eye open with my bottle of beer. We then went inside and I stitched up my friends eye with needle and thread in the bathroom while my other friend videotaped it. We still watch it sometimes. Obviously, we were pretty boozed.
