Good morning to all you good hearted, yet deplorable Dawgs…..Sunday……Times flies……We are five months into 2020 already……Did you know today is National Macaroon Day? A macaroon is a small coconut cookie that’s full of flavor……Don’t mistake these with the delicate sandwich cookies called macarons……These small, but substantial, cookies hold their own despite the sometimes mistaken identity……For coconut lovers, this day is a little bit of bliss……I love coconut, but it’s been a while since I’ve eaten a macaroon or a macaron, and I seriously doubt I’ll have either today……Take care……

UGA SPORTS SPOTLIGHT:

I’m gonna mention a Dawg great in the UGA football spotlight section this morning, just to make sure at least something Dawg is mentioned today in this “DAWGChat” forum…Today the Georgia Bulldog in the spotlight is former Dawg Linebacker Steve Boswell…….

In 1983, one recruiting service had Steve Boswell as the second-best prospect in the nation…….As highly-touted as Boswell was coming out of Warner Robins High School, he was somewhat obscured at Georgia, competing with the likes of standout linebackers Knox Culpepper, Bill Mitchell, and John Brantley. However, recognized as a “street fighter,” “Possum,” as he was nicknamed (“…and, that’s a name he’s proud of,” according to Brantley), excelled at the position, totaling 250 career tackles, three sacks, four other tackles for loss, and three fumble recoveries from 1983 through 1986, including as the Bulldogs’ starting Mike linebacker as a junior and senior.

Steve+Boswell.jpg


Boswell also intercepted four passes, the final interception occurring on the Plains, capping a memorable final drive by the Auburn offense in a 20-16 upset of the Tigers……Boswell tallied 19 tackles in that epic game……It was a brutal affair that saw highly ranked Auburn scrap their way back into reaching distance……But with under a minute remaining and the Tigers driving down the field, Boswell sealed the win with a dramatic interception…….Watch the video………



Steve Boswell, damn good Dawg!

TODAY’S @$$HOLE OF THE DAY:

May 31, 1938 Peter Yarrow was born jn Mahattan, New York…..We all know this knucklehead as the Peter in the Peter, Paul, and Mary folk-singing trio……

Allow me to tell you about Mr Puff, and he ain’t no Magic Dragon….He’s a political activist and has supported liberal causes that range from opposition to the Vietnam War to bullying and every liberal cause in between……In other words, he a whiner……

Yarrow's involvement in politics started when he was married and continued throughout the decades…..He has had a variety of contacts with liberal politicians; he performed at John Kerry's wedding; he worked for the presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama among other Democratic work…..

Yarrow has cited Judaism as one of the roots of his liberal views……..

latest


In 1970, Yarrow was convicted of, and served three months in prison for taking "improper liberties" with a 14-year-old girl who went with her 17-year-old sister to Yarrow's hotel room seeking an autograph…….."Yarrow answered the door naked and made sexual advances that stopped short of intercourse"…….The 14-year-old resisted his advances but according to reports, did not call for help…….Yarrow served three months of a one-to three-year prison sentence.......

He has since semi-apologized for the incident: "It was an era of real indiscretion and mistakes by categorically male performers…….I was one of them. I got nailed. I was wrong. I'm sorry for it”………(Only a low rent POS would bring up the era in his so-called apology………1940s, 1960s, 1980s, it don’t matter; showing your naked self to a 14 year old girl and making sexual advances is just sicko wrong, regardfless of the year……Now get this:

In 1981, Jimmy Carter granted Yarrow a presidential pardon for the crime……..One sorry @$$ liberal to another…….

That’s enough for me………..Get up on the podium, put on that crown of shame, because I now anoint you @$$Hole of the day……Peter Yarrow, aka Mr Puff, you can KMA too………



As always folks, I hope each of you have a Great Bulldawg Day.......GATA.....THWGT......MAGA......Go Dawgs......God Bless........

TODAY’S @$$HOLE OF THE DAY:
1hh5qj.jpg


May 31, 1938 Peter Yarrow was born jn Mahattan, New York…..We all know this knucklehead as the Peter in the Peter, Paul, and Mary folk-singing trio……

Allow me to tell you about Mr Puff, and he ain’t no Magic Dragon….He’s a political activist and has supported liberal causes that range from opposition to the Vietnam War to bullying and every liberal cause in between……In other words, he a whiner……

Yarrow's involvement in politics started when he was married and continued throughout the decades…..He has had a variety of contacts with liberal politicians; he performed at John Kerry's wedding; he worked for the presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama among other Democratic work…..

Yarrow has cited Judaism as one of the roots of his liberal views……..

latest


In 1970, Yarrow was convicted of, and served three months in prison for taking "improper liberties" with a 14-year-old girl who went with her 17-year-old sister to Yarrow's hotel room seeking an autograph…….."Yarrow answered the door naked and made sexual advances that stopped short of intercourse"…….The 14-year-old resisted his advances but according to reports, did not call for help…….Yarrow served three months of a one-to three-year prison sentence.......

He has since semi-apologized for the incident: "It was an era of real indiscretion and mistakes by categorically male performers…….I was one of them. I got nailed. I was wrong. I'm sorry for it”………(Only a low rent POS would bring up the era in his so-called apology………1940s, 1960s, 1980s, it don’t matter; showing your naked self to a 14 year old girl and making sexual advances is just sicko wrong, regardfless of the year……Now get this:

In 1981, Jimmy Carter granted Yarrow a presidential pardon for the crime……..One sorry @$$ liberal to another…….

That’s enough for me………..Get up on the podium, put on that crown of shame, because I now anoint you @$$Hole of the day……Peter Yarrow, aka Mr Puff, you can KMA too………



As always folks, I hope each of you have a Great Bulldawg Day.......GATA.....THWGT......MAGA......Go Dawgs......God Bless........

Puff The Magic Dragon! Thanks RCH for a wonderful capsule! 65
 
2007 Rob Grill, lead singer of The Grass Roots, is arrested for illegal possession of prescription painkillers at his home in Mount Dora, Florida.

Saw them at an oldies show in Savannah the year before. That guy walked with a waddle like he was past due for hip replacement surgery. Must’ve had some serious arthritis.

I was somewhat confused about the presidential pardon thing as the president only has the power to pardon federal offenses and this surely was not. The president cannot pardon state criminal convictions. However it turns out the crime occurred in a Washington DC hotel in the District of Columbia and was handled in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia whose convictions are also pardonable as are military court-marshals. Excellent work, RCH.
 
Well done, rch, I enjoyed it. Spirit was a great band from the psychedelic era. The song they claim Led Zep stole was Stairway to Heaven, I believe.

Yes, that was the song.........Now whether they won the suit, lost the suit, or there was a settlement I don't know or have forgot.......I want to say they won the suit, but I don't know and I'm too lazy and too sorry this morning to research it........

Good morning to all you good hearted, yet deplorable Dawgs…..Sunday……Times flies……We are five months into 2020 already……Did you know today is National Macaroon Day? A macaroon is a small coconut cookie that’s full of flavor……Don’t mistake these with the delicate sandwich cookies called macarons……These small, but substantial, cookies hold their own despite the sometimes mistaken identity……For coconut lovers, this day is a little bit of bliss……I love coconut, but it’s been a while since I’ve eaten a macaroon or a macaron, and I seriously doubt I’ll have either today……Take care……

UGA SPORTS SPOTLIGHT:

I’m gonna mention a Dawg great in the UGA football spotlight section this morning, just to make sure at least something Dawg is mentioned today in this “DAWGChat” forum…Today the Georgia Bulldog in the spotlight is former Dawg Linebacker Steve Boswell…….

In 1983, one recruiting service had Steve Boswell as the second-best prospect in the nation…….As highly-touted as Boswell was coming out of Warner Robins High School, he was somewhat obscured at Georgia, competing with the likes of standout linebackers Knox Culpepper, Bill Mitchell, and John Brantley. However, recognized as a “street fighter,” “Possum,” as he was nicknamed (“…and, that’s a name he’s proud of,” according to Brantley), excelled at the position, totaling 250 career tackles, three sacks, four other tackles for loss, and three fumble recoveries from 1983 through 1986, including as the Bulldogs’ starting Mike linebacker as a junior and senior.

Steve+Boswell.jpg


Boswell also intercepted four passes, the final interception occurring on the Plains, capping a memorable final drive by the Auburn offense in a 20-16 upset of the Tigers……Boswell tallied 19 tackles in that epic game……It was a brutal affair that saw highly ranked Auburn scrap their way back into reaching distance……But with under a minute remaining and the Tigers driving down the field, Boswell sealed the win with a dramatic interception…….Watch the video………



Steve Boswell, damn good Dawg!

Back from Sinclair. Got down there Thursday night. Did some hanging in that historic Sandersville cove with some of Sandersville's finest this weekend. Lot of good eating and a lot of good drinking. Found out the Dairy Lane is expanding (to Milledgeville, I think). I know ownership is changing hands quickly over the last decade or so, but glad that it's doing well enough to open up another store. Love me some Dairy Lane; always a perpetual stop on my trips from Athens down to the Georgia coast.
