Friday Hottie: Erin Go Bragh



For you unfortunate slugs, I mean non-Irish, Erin Go Bragh is an expression meaning "Ireland forever"

My Jackals, BMR has terrible news on three fronts. Allow me to elaborate:


1) BMR was listening to 'Elliot in the Morning' today. I'm really ashamed and I can assure you I tuned in to hear Boomer Esiason's picks, because he loves my dirty birds. But Boomer doesn't call in on Friday morning with picks anymore, so instead all I heard was 'Elliot in the Morning'.


2) An ad for an Elliot In The Morning-themed bar crawl came on the radio and it involves Elliot and a "Guy's Night Out" on the H St. Corridor, BMR's stomping grizzounds. Not cool.


3) Aforementioned bar crawl uttered the term 'Mancation' to describe a "Guy's Night Out"( I thought only chicks did gender-specific outings, but that's another post/jackalism). So it's a Monday night on H St., and it's being dubbed "Mancation". Anyhow, I thought it's about time we dropped the term like a furlong of bricks. We could go straight to Jackal OTA as SS wisely dubbed UMD/VT and the BMR vs. SS Sr. Heavyweight matchups that recently brought Head and BD "Jameson" 2 to town, while pulling our sketchy Virginia Tech associates(Crazy Pat, Tico & Co.) out of the wood work as well.


We had a good run, Mancation, but it's time to part ways. Have a great time treating NOVA trash to boring nights out in my neighborhood. Douche.

Thanksgiving Day



Any Jackals up in the NYC area trying to UNF the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade with the Mrs., the Lynx, and yours truly? Babyface is drumlining it and I'm looking for an able bodied Jackal to carry the other pole of the most glorious Jackals banner...
